She wa followed by Rev. Mr. Ilaird in a tew earnest words urging the ne cessity of prayer aud more thorough consccratiou to God u the part of thoie engaged in the temperance work. Mr. Cornell, of Chicago, then spoke of the necessity of temperance workers encouraging by palrourge those men engaged iu buisness, of known temperance principles aud re fusing to trade with, or couuteuauce, men who dealt iu or encouraged the sale of intoxicating liquors" Rev. Mr. Wilson then made au euergetic aud stirring appeal to the ladies for more activity aud energy in their work; followed by Chaplain Wright who adrisrd those engaged in the temperance work not to ' switch off" on side issues but keep steadily in mind that prayer was the one thing needful and that if a mau was conver ted to God, conversion to the temper auco cause wauld surely follow, for where would you find a genuine christian that wa not a temperance man. Mrs. Cooiey then appointed a com mittee of three, Mrs. Pollock, Mrs. Dake and Mrs. Wise to solicit new members for the Union; several names of those proposed were enrolled, aud i afier a few inor remarks' from the I pretidoct. singing of a hymn aud J prayer by Chaplain Wrighi. the trroeU j inff adjourud. . .

Herald: In preparing notes for you we keep a note book in which we write down all items that we think will be of interest as they occur during th week. In refenng to it at present we find the following hastily written down: The mercury iu our thermometer started down grade on New Years day and stopped somewhere, near zero, and has been there nearly ver since, but on Friday nd Saturday the weather changed and has been thawing some. Shooting matches have been quite numerous during the holidays at which the hunters and sportsmen spent their time and amuniticu to a good advan tage. Oue at W. 1 . Alle.u's on New Years day aud also one last - Saturday were well patronized. Mr. and Mrs L. II. Young and daugh ter have been over to Iowa tho past week visiting friends; during their rounds they took in G '.en wood and Council Bluffs. They returned on Sat urday . The new Christian church, on Rock Creek, has been used to a good advan tage this winter aud seems to be a credit to that neighborhood. Rev. Hallum has been conducting the meet ings there and has awakeued quite an interest among the church going folks a large number have been added to the church, so we learn. While on this subject we will say that steps ought to be taken in that diriction in eur neighborhood toward building a church, if is something very badly needed. The people in this vicinity are probably as able to build as fine a building as any where iu the county, outside of the citiM. AH that is need ed is somebody to take hold of it and forward it along. Mr. Silas Crosser has been east visit ing friends, somewhere in Iowa, for several days. They have a singing bee- down on Rock Creek at the school house con ducted by Mr. Hart of Elm wood. Miss Minnie Droste has been sick for several days with the fever, she is better aud able to be up now. One of the twin babies of Mr. and Mrs. Edward Wiley has been quite ill for some time with the typhoid fever. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Con'.ey. now of Seward county, formerly of this coun ty, made a brief call on Wednesday. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Nix lost their little babe (about a month old) a week ago, by being smothered to death, as it was supposed, it being found dead in the bed during the night while sleep ing with its parents. They have a newspaper in Rock Bluffs called the Truth Seeker, Charley Graves and George Smith are the-editors. They say it is a spicy interest ing and newsy sheet. We don't know the circulation but guess it don't run up into thousands very far or they would put the subscription down a lit tle. It is eight dollars per mouth but we think it could be got cheaper by taking a whole years subscription. We wrote the above in our note book before we saw Little Bub's letter in last week's Herald, so excuse us for this time, James Allison., carries a very sore and an ugly looking wounded finger which be hurt, last week, somehow when he and some other fellow broke ! down their sleigh while sleigh riding, j The sleighing is very good and would ' be hard to beat anywhere.

Bta Sis. Stove Creek News. Not having teen Stove Creek uc ticed in your paper for some time nnd thinking a few items might not be out of place, since tohv White has found a better clime, I undertake the task. There is considerable corn yet in tho field and ia liable to stay there a while on account of the enow; but it is an ill wind that blows no one any good, sad so the rabbit hunters are reapiug their harvest, that timid little animal has no hollow trees to run in for prut M-tion and censeqiiently km to suffer. . The two atorea ai Klin wood are do ing a big hnsinen iu lhe ay of selling goods. Delhei t Giev.uaUle, Mho h.ia beeu going to the stale univetsity, in at home for the present. Mr. James Williams and wife from Iowa, are here, the giieats of J. W. Woodruff, the father of Mr. Williams. D. Huns has got back from a visit in Iowa, where he has been to see that gal he left behind him; but gossip aye it will not be thus th next time ha goes to Iowa. Theie was an oyster supper atS. D. Ellis last l'l iday night at which time and plaee ojaters were above par; it requiring ait expert Usher to catch one in hi dish. Theie is a debating society oigan ized in Stove Creek school house, and when the talent of Stove Creek divides on a question, the question is generally Well demolished ami the opponents well warmed. There is a school meet ing called on the fourth of January, at which time the wise heads expect to debate the propriety of adopting a new se ries of books; this book question has caused considerable harsh words al ready and we expect a warm time at the meet in if, as some'think it a kind of a bulldozing scheme. . Corn shelling is the work at present. There are some shelling and deliver ing their corn crop, which is good; but the price is rather low only 28 cents. II. & L. Tyson have a new Sand wich shelter and they are 'doing boss work. The little towns close to Elm wood such as Weeping Water aud Ashland, look out, for Frank Foot has gone to trading horses. t The cold weather has prevented us from getting a very big supply of news this time. . . Brr.. iAinisTille Locals. Business is decidedly quiet here just mow, though one grain buyer bought 43 loads of corn, Saturday. Mr. Cutforth will ship ten car losdj to Kansas City this week in order to empty his crib, this being the second time ho has filled it this winter. Mr. Caiue and LA. Connor have done al most as well. By the way, while other market are paving 25 cts for corn, the price here has not fallen be low :; cenis; showing conclusively to the croakein that Louisville is, and will continue to be vastly t'nefited by the new railroad. Frank and Wni. Greek, who were put under bonds to appear at the next term of district court, have suddenly disappeared. Their bondsman. Mr. John King. will, doubtless be made SIDO wisei as well a poorer. Mr. King is deserving of sympathy, he having worked very hard, and secured himself a neat little home, and can ill afford in his old age to raise so large a sum of money Tho B. & M. folks have put iu a horse power gearing to run the wind pump when the gentle zqh' is fail to blow. Johu Osseukep is filling his Urge ice house with a fine quality of ie from the Platte. Our new paper will be issued as a six column folio for a while until ev erything ia fixed up iu good shape, when it will be enlarged. It has been christened The Louisville Observer, and will be out on Friday of this week it nothing prevents. Gene May field has charge of the editorial aud mechanical department, while Mr. Maj field will look after the outside business interests. The owu appears willing to patronize liberally both by advertising ami subscriptions. We trust the Observer has come to stay, as it certainly helps to build up and improve the town. DIED.
