The liko of this weather was nover known
before. Oldest Settlor.
Mrs. R. H. Chrysler was visiting friends at
Indianola and Bartley , last week.
The hour for the commencement of the
Sunday School has been changed to 9:30 , A. M.
Our Nasby got his fighting shirt on , last
week , and seemed to hav.e an inordinato desire
to display his pugilistic capabilities. How
ever , all is now calm.
P. Brower has moved from Indianola to
Box Elder , and has opened up a stock of gro
ceries and other staple articles of merchant
dise. We trust the people will give him a lib
eral support.
David Pollock slippod down to Indianola ,
one rainy day , last week , and had himself
joined for life to Miss Belle Scott , whom he
mot at the depot as she returned from Iowa.
Much joy to you , Davis.
The old bachelors are dropping off one by
one Chrysler will soon be left alone ; but to
console himself , he is ofton heard to repeat
the well known words of the poet , "The win
ner is ho who can go it alone. "
We do want a blacksmith at Box Elder :
Won't some one who has had experience in
pounding iron , and a littlo experience in wood
work , give us a call. A good living will sure
ly como to any one who will open a shop at
this point.
This is the way they are turning up the sod
around Box Elder : S. Bolles. 20 acres ; A. W.
Campbell , 40 acres ; N. J. Chrysler , 40 acres ;
Ella Piper , 30 acres : .T.H.Stephens , 70 acres ,
and many others in like proportion. Let the
good work go on. Sixoxx.
"WESTERN RESOURCES/ '
ONLY A HOI/LAK.
The publishers of this the leading and best
publication for western stock men and
farmers , offer to send it to any address for
the balance of 18S7 , beginning with the May
munber. for 51. and they will furnish free
one copy to the person sending five subscrip
tions , two copies for ten , three for fifteen , or
six for twenty-five. Sample copies can be
had by addressing the manager at Lincoln.
Remember ex-Gov. Furnas is the editor ,
and "Western Resources" is the handsomest
sixteen page paper published in the west.
This is a very liberal proposition , as this
staunch journal is cheap at the regular price ,
52 per annum.
The most painful case of rheumatism may
be relieved by a few applications of Cham
berlain's Pain Balm ; its continued use will
cure any case , no matter of how long stand
ing. The record of this pain-relieving med
icine is wonderful. It is equally beneficial
for lame back , pain in side , shoulder lame
ness , and in all painful ejections requiring
an external remedy. A trial will convince
any person that the above statement is cor
rect. Chamberlain's Pain Balm is sold by
Wi.lley & Walker and Mc-Millen & Weeks.

TOWN. 4 , RANGE 30.
Frank Amend is planting corn.
John Coleman is having 40 acros broko on
his claim.
Miss M. Whitiner is teaching the school In
district No. Go In this town.
K. P. Hazcn of Edison , drove out In this
town. Monday , looking after his land interests.
Everyday is Arbor day with H. Thrailkill.
Ho is engaged in planting 11,000 trees on his
trco claim.
At tho last mooting of the Agricultural So
ciety , Wm. Coleman was elected director of
this precinct.
J. O. Patterson of Hayes county was in Mc
Cook , Saturday , and bought a wind mill and
took it out to his farm.
Carrie Moore came out from McCook , and
spent Sabbath with hor sister , Hettie , on her
claim , and returned Monday.
There will be preaching at our school house
next Sabbath atll o'clock ; Sabbath School at
10. We hope to see tho house tilled.
Arbor day was observed in this town by
Miss H. Moore planting out some trees on her
claim. No further reports received at these
headquarters.
We don't get as many items from tho west
part of town. , as we would like , and if some
one over there should stub his toe and fall
down , just like as not we'd never hear of it.
Chas. Chilcoto was unfortunate , last week.
One of his horses had its shoulder hurt in
some way , so that it could not work , and for
some days Charles had to lie around , which
punished him terribly.
Our neighbor , Mr. Frarao evidently believes
a good deal in wind work. If he don't , then
*
why did he buy that new wind mill , and put
it away up in the air , on a finely painted tow
er ? It's a daisy and no mistake. Another
substantial evidence of prosperity.
When M. F. Horrell hitched up Monday morn
ing to return some borrowed property , lie put
the left mule on tho right side , and the right
mule on the left side of the wagon tongue.
It's a boy. Mother and son doing nicely , and
Father Horrell declares the son moves ( him of
nights ) if the earth is stationary.
Now ho is happv all day long.
His heart doth thrill with joy.
As like a lark ho sings his song , •
Our firstborn , bran new boy .
For music , apply to "Pa" Horrell.
Thos. Whitiner has planted six acres of
trees on his tree claim , and 4,009 trees on his
homestead , and was in McCook. Saturday ,
loading his wagon with fruit trees and small
fruits. It looks a little as though he intended
duplicating the Garden of Eden. Tom lived
in Iowa over 30 years and saw a good deal of
hard service on the farm ; and it appeared as
though he worked one day for himself and
two for another man ; and was changing often
from one farm to auother. Now he has a
choice half-section of his own , and it does
look as though he intended to enjoy it. Here
is our 55 Tom. It was througli the influence
of Wm. Coleman that he came here.
Mr. Groves , of Newton , Iowa , ha purchased
a farm in this town , and erected a frame resi
dence 16x13 feet in size ; also a frame barn
12x10 feet , and has gone to work like a gran
ger. As he was hauling his lumber out for
his house , some parties told him this would be
a dry year here and ho could not live. He re
plied , he had lived a good many years in Iowa ,
and as he considered this equal to , if not bet
ter than Iowa , he had no fears. He had lived
through a terrible drouth in that state , last
season , and he thought he could staud one
equally as well here. He was satisfied with
the country , had come to stay , and intended
to make this his future home. He said that
he heard of this country by reading an article
in tho Iowa State Register , written by Wm.
Coleman of this town , and that is what brought
him here.
M. H. Cole was in Mcrook , last Friday , and
brought out a lot of apple trees. That is a
good move in the right direction , yet , great
discretion should be exercised in planting an
orchard. We have had some experience , and
it cost us dearly. The best success we had ,
was when we planted trees on ground that
had been thoroughly cultivated three seasons.
We planted 50 trees on land that had been cul
tivated but once ; now there is but one living.
There are some six or eight living of the sec
ond fifty that were planted when the soil had
been cultivated twice. We have lost few trees
that were planted on old land , or where the
soil had been thoroughly cultivated three sea
sons. In planting our trees , we plow land
just as wide as we want the rows of trees
apart. Then set the trees in the "dead fur
row , " and leave a basin around each tree large
enough to hold three or four pails of water.
Tho water will run olf the ridges into the dead
furrow and fill the basin around tho tree , and
will thoroughly soak the roots , which will be
a great benefit to the tree. Before the weath
er gets too hot , give the trcesagood mulching ,
and e'er many years pass , you can bring out
a basket of Jonathans for your friends to
sample , in tho long winter evenings Since
adopting the plan as given above , we never
water our trees , and have lo t but few. We
have trees that made a growth of live feet ,
last season. In our orchard may be found the
following named varieties : Apple , Peach.
Pear , Cherry , Plum , Crab and Apricot. We
planted several orchards in Iowa , during the
27 years we farmed in that state , but we never
saw trees grow so rapidly as they do here. In
planting trees , we dig the pit about 24 ! feet
iicross , and 20 inches deep , then till up with
the top soil , pressing the soil firmly about the
body of the tree , to keep the wind from sway
ing it , and thus loosening the roots , which
tvould be death to the tree. Gkankkk.
