Wessington Springs Herald
    As it is just one hundred years since the first effort to overthrow the
drink traffic; and as it is to be celebrated all over the United States from the
20th to 26th of September, the Wessington Springs and Spring Valley Band of Hope
will hold Centennial exercises at the M. E. Church Sabbath at 3 P. M., which
will consist in songs and recitations used all over the land on the same day;
everybody invited.

    The 26th being set aside especially as "Children's day" the Bands of Hope
from all parts of the county will have a Harvest Home procession on the fair
grounds at 2 P. M. with appropriate, interesting exercises gotten up especially
for the occasion. The children are expected to bring the very best grain, fruit,
or vegetables and flowers for their "Anchor," which grain, fruit and vegetables
will be sold at auction for the benefit of the Band of Hope. Make your offerings
as beautiful and bountiful as possible. Meet at the "Armory" at 1 P. M.,
Saturday Sept. 26, to form procession,

                                          Nettie C. Hall
                             Supt. Juvenile work, Jerauld Cp. W. C. T. U.
