On Tuesday, August l9th, Mr. Wells expects to take a special car from Leon to Dakota, and on this occasion there will be special low rates for the round trip. South Dakota is enjoying a great boom in farm lands and those who are buying now expect to reap the benefit of rapid advance in the price of land. If you are interested in getting in on the ground floor of a good investment, see Mr. Wells in regard to this excursion. He will be back to this county next week and be ready to give full information. Copied by Nancee(McMurtrey)Seifert
