Ernest Coleman is spending a portion of

Miss Gertie Coleman came down from hc-r
claim , and spent the holidays with Pa and Ma.
at the old homestead , where she had an en
joyable time. She returned home Tuesday.
We are pleased to announce that Mrs. Geo.
Coleman , who has been ill for a few days , is

We learn by letter dated Doc. JMtli , that in
Southern Iowa , the snow is about nine inches
deep , and sleighing has been good for several
weeks. It has also been very cold , the ther
mometer stood at XI degrees below zero , on
Dec. 27th. We learn that in Central Iowa , the
ground has been covered with snow all win
ter , and about Christmas it was so cold for sev
eral days , that "yon could not poke your nose
j out of the door without danger of having it
i frosted. " By a letter received Monday , from
Atnboy , 111. , we understand that sleighing
has been good there for some weeks ; also that
it has been very cold , the thermometer mark
ing 33 degrees below zero on the 27th. Now
tally about flve for Ked Willow county ,
Iowa was forty years old Dec. 28th , 188C. It
was admitted into the sister-hood of states ,
Dee. 28th , 1810. We located in that-state when
it was but flve years old. We used to love
Iowa , but now we love one of her younger
sisters much better. "We quote from the
Iowa State Register : "In schools , Iowa ranks
now with the first of the civilized govern
ments among men , and has the lowest rates
of illiteracy of any nation , government or
province , in the world. " What sublime igno
rance , is shown in the above. If R. 1 * . Clark-
sou , managing editor of the Register , will
come over into Nebraska , almost any school
boy will inform him , that Iowa has not the
lowest rate of illiteracy , but that her modest ,
blooming sister , Nebraska , though not half
her age , stands equal with , and ranks as high
as Iowa , in educational matters.
Frank Finley , who was born and raised in
Polk Co. , Iowa , is spending a few days with
"Ye Granger. " He spent several day with us
in October , 1882 , butarrivingatthc conclusion
that this country was of no good , he returned
to Iowa. From there he went to Dakota ,
where he spent over two years. Being dis
pleased there on account of the long and se
vere winters , he came to Nebraska again : and
after traveling quite extensively through the
northern and western portion of the state , he
returned to this county. He was amazed and
astonished at the rapid advancement make
since he left here. He was so well pleased
that he at once purchased a farm , a few miles
northwest of McCook , where he intends mak
ing his future home. He stated to us , that
for flnc , smooth land , and richness of soil , he
had seen nothing that would compare with
this county. While in Dakota , he made one
trip to the timber after a load of poles ; the
distance was forty miles. The trip was made
in three days.
