ALVO NEBRASKA From Saturday's Daily In the past week the community of Manley has been called upon to mourn the loss of one of the pioneer members of that locality who has gone to her last long rest at the ripe old age of 87 years.

The body was brought to Manley last Tuesday and the last rites per formed at the St. Patrick's Roman Catholic church, where the departed lady had been an attendant the re quiem mass being celebrated by Father W.

For the past twenty years she has been a resident of Elm Creek with her fam ily that resided at that place.

WEEPING WATER BOY IS MAKING GOOD From the paper at Taylor, Loupe county, we notice the name of Rev. Horton Colbert, whose parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Colbert, live at Weep ing ater and Long Beach. Below are several notices that tell of some of his doings: "Rev. and Mrs. Horton Colbert en tertained a party of, young folks at the parsonage Tuesday night. A most delightful evening was spent." "Remember to bring your own basket dinner Sunday, and after the morning services we shall all eat to gether in the park. Instead , of the evening service at 8 o'clock, there will be vesper service at 4 o'clock p. m. There wil be special music by Dr. and Mrs. H. E. Colbert of Ger-ing." "The reception held in honor of Rev. Horton Colbert and wife, by the Congregational church folk, was at tended by a goodly number. The af fair w avsery much enjoyed by all and the welcome was sincere, as well as cordial. Taylor and Loupe coun ties now have two churches with regularly installed, pastors. The gos pel of Jesus Christ ought through these organizations be brought to every soul in the country. As I see it,, the situation was never more fa vorable for evangelization, and God grant I see truly." Weeping Water Republican.
