Prof. Webster madoa visit to his claim on
Saturday last.
Weddings and rumors of weddings are as
thick as the "leaves on the strand , " partic
ularly the latter.
A little rain just now would bo hailed by the
farmers with as much Joy as tho shower of
manuu in tlie "wilderness. "
Wo understand that Arthur Dodge has con
tracted to work for Ed. Lawthers during tho
coining season , in consideration of a team of
horses.
Two of our fair citizens aro doing tho pedes
trian act , for reasons that we are unable to
state , unless it be in anticipation of the fair
the coming full.
Miss Flora Bell and Miss Fannie ltichardson
two of our most intelligent and enterprising
young indies , commenced their schools on
Monday of this week.
Miss Maggie Goodwin took a flying ( ? ) trip
to McCook , last Thursday , to meet a friend
from Crete , Miss Jennie VanLoon , who was
on her way to Colorado , to avail herself other
rights in the "public domain. "
"Old Horcns" reminded us of hi. power on
Saturday and Sunday in a very ellcctuul man
ner. The soil was blown off the wheat in
many instances leaving it exposed and tho
farmers in consequence are harrowing again.
A number of our young people , both fair
and otherwise , met on Friday evening , at the
residence of W. H. Benjamin , to worship at
the shrine of Terpsichore. All appeared to
enjoy themselves in the most approved man
ner.
The railroad and the probable benefits that
will be derived therefrom , arc tho common
subjects of conversation among our enter
prising citizens at present. But they all de
clare their preference to be in favor of the
Bock Island.
Two of the "boys" who participated in the
gathering spoken of above , must have been
very much "rattled" as they were unable to
identify their spring ssus. . after having dis
posed of their fair cargo , and as a consequence
left the wrong scat in the right place. Won
der irtliey could identify their "girls" ?
Mr. John Winsor , the genial awl persistent
agent for the F. U. Ins. , Co. is building a new
house on his place. By the way , John is u
thoroughbred in the insurance Jine , and if ho
should open Ills "grip" and begin upon any of
our leaders we would advise them to "sur
render at discretion , " as John will surely car
ing the works , either by assault or siege.
Prairie llres are becoming alarmingly fre
quent. We suppose people will continue to be
careless until someone is summarily dealt
with , which should be soon , else somebody
will be mourning the loss of stock , etc. , in the
near future. Those who havo not should im
mediately secure their property from danger
from this source by securely guarding their
premises , in other words lock the stable be
fore it is burnt or you won't have any to
lock. Sivaiit.

horse ran away and upset the buggy , and
damaged it to such an extent that the doctor
had to walk home.

PLEASANT RIDGE ITEMS.
o
From tho record of time , I , wo nnd us , havo
been noting tho following :
That some one is taking a very largo scopo
of country for Pleasant ltidge ; thoreforo I
take up my pen in behalf of District No. 25 , to
make an explanation. In the fall of 1880 , Dis
trict No. 25 was formed , and in duo timo thero
was a meeting of tho legal voters of said dis
trict to locate a school house sito therein , and
which tho majority carried to tho center , and
that center was upon tho quarter section of a
very worthy and estimable young man , who
has sinco passed into the unseen. Ho was tho
oue who ehoso the name of Pleasant Itidgo for
District No. 25 , and if any one of our neighbor
districts wish to choose tiio same name , they
will havo to use the abbreviation , Jr.
Mr. Hammond planted potatoes last week.
AVo havo been hearing the song of the
Meadow Lark , the past wcok.
James ICanouse , our obliging blacksmith , is
crowded with work , so they say.
The pleasant weather continues nnd the
farmers are getting right down to business.
John Calkins has in ten acres of the hun
dred he expects to sow to wheat , this spring.
E. Green has in twelvo acres of spring
wheat. He will add fifteen acres more to that.
West Gerver has sold his farm of 80 acres
to a gentleman from Indiana. Consideration
$500.
The Pleasant Kidge district has a new frame
school house , which needs seats and paint to
be complete.
The Fowler brother are prepared to turn up
prairie sod , this spring. They brought home
three new breaking plows last week.
The fire llend came sweeping down upon us ,
Wednesday morning. Some more careless
ness on tho part of some one living northwest
of us.
West Gerver has moved onto the Frank
Laverick place , having rented it for this year.
Lavcrick has moved into a vacated dugout of
John Harris' .
I Rev. Mason preached at Pleasant Ridge
school house. Sunday evening , the 6th intt. ,
. and will preach again three weeks from that
date , in the evening.
Who is director of school districts. } ? As the
olliee was vacated by the moving of Mr. Lav
erick , and if there is a director , it is time he
• was getting tho notice of an annual meeting
in sight.
j Our school of four months , closed to-day.
The teacher , Mrs. Kneif , was quite deaf , or too
; much so for a school teacher , at least. Tiiere-
fore there was a great deal of dissatisfaction
j among the patrons. Guess.
i PLEASANT RIDGE DOINGS.
! o
Our good old March has changed his old
ways of snow , sleet , etc. , to the old eastern
blow , dust , smoke and dirt. Look out for sore
1 eyes.
eyes.W.
W. W. Dunham has received some choice
seed potatoes from St. Louis. The first of the
kind ever shipped to Red Willow county.
If anyone wants to take a quick ride and go
through the world Hying , just jump in the
wagon of W. F. Thorpe when he hitches up his
colts , as he calls them. They are high ilyers
and no mistake.
The Beaver slope will resemble some of our
eastern countries in a short time in regard to
tame grasses. W. II. Allen has some 10 acres
of tame grass and clover , mixed. W. W. Dun
ham has got 8 acres to sow to clover.
Fred E. Dunham , son of W. W. Dunham ,
will start for Bartley , April the 7th , to attend
the University and take higher branches of
studies than can be learned in districts schools
He thinks an education will pay better than
plodding along after a plow or harrow on the
farm.
There seems to be some apprehensions that
this coming year will be a dry season. This
apprehension is only by the new settlers who
" are afraid that they can raisenothing this
summer. Let me say. your humble corres
pondent lias been in this country since 187'J ,
and lias not seen but two years outside of
which we had very fuir sowed crops , corn and
vegetables. Our country was new and not
much broken , but it is older now , and more
land under cultivation. Put in your crop in
a husbandman-like manner and the Great
Ruler of all things will take care of the rest.

Beggs' Cherry Cough Syrup.
o
Will relieve that cough almost instantly
and make expectoration easy. Acts simul
taneously on the bowels , kidneys and liver ,
thereby relieving the lungs of that sorcnebS
and pain and also stopping that tickling
sensation in the throat by removing the
cause. One trial of it will convince any one
that it has no equal on earth for coughs and
colds. McMillen & Weeks have secured the
sale of it and will guarantee every bottle to
give satisfaction.
WHEN WOMEN VOTE.
When women shall rule by the ballot.
Which they hope to attain soon or late ,
How grand will sound President Flossie ,
And Mamie ( Department of State ) !
How dignified Gertie and Winnie
Will sit in the Cabinet chairs.
And Gussie , and Lulie and Kittie
Transact Governmental affairs !
How majestic will Chief Justice Bertie ,
Inspire with judicial awe
Sweet Roxie , and Sadie , and Myrtie ,
The learned expounders of law !
And when thegreatGener.il Mollie.
With her troops at the battle arrives.
Her name will strike fear to the terrified foe
And they'll turn and run for their lives !
C. Y. Baxter , an experienced and success
ful druggist at DeWitt , Iowa , says one fam
ily there created an immense sale for Cham
berlain's Cough liemedy , by using and rec-
conimendiiig it to their neighbors , during
siege of whooping cough , now it sells rapid
ly on its own merits. It has no equal for
coughs , colds and croup. Sold by Willcy &
Walker and McMillen & Weeks.
Young-John A. Logan was married at noon
yesterday tea young lady in Youngstown. O.
Among other presents was a check for $50 000
from the bride's father.
