Will Johnson began work in hi
brooin corn the Grstof the week ; being

One of James Robinson's horses , an

a feed of oats , died the other day.
J. S. Modrell and P. O'Connor have

from the home place.
The little three year old daughter ol
Wash. Groves , has been seriously ill for

sudden death of his aged mother.
Miss Irwin , of Harlan county , has
commenced teaching in the North Div

the present is small , and yel the same
old tiresome complaints are as prevalent
as usual.
Some heartless boys have been mak
ing numerous raids on the Sanders
melon patch , and judging from the
hideous racket over there the other
night , it would appear that Joe was
there himself.
A right jolly crowd responded to the
general invitation to the Modrell hop ,
which was held a few evening's since
with gratifying pleasure and profit to
all concerned , with the exception , of
course , of the poor fiddlers.
Mike Dooley and one of his former ,
friends two of Erins most illustrious
sons , have been waging war against one
another for some time. The former , so
we are told , carries all manner of rocks
in his pockets and will make it lively for
his neighbor on the hill.
Mr. and Mrs. W. Y. Johnson are
happy over the event of a boy baby
who made his appearance in a time
when help is scarce. No wonder Bil
is heard to say :
"Ven I look of dem little toes ,
Und see dot funny leetle nose ,
TJnd hear de vay dot rooster crows ,
I shmile like I vos crazy. "

Almost everyone in this part is cut

hay weather.

Annual meetings of old settler's asso
ciations are being held in various parts
of Nebraska The Bee suggested re
cently that these associations make a
point of preserving reminiscences of
early times in the state with the view
of enriching the fund of information
upon which the future historian will
have to draw. The early times in this
state now seem to belong to the very
recent past , and as there are thousands
of people who remember all about them
the need of written records is little ap
preciated , but the time will soon come
when reminiscences of early days in
Nebraska will possess great historic
value. They should be recorded now ,
and the records of all these old settler's
associations should be made treasuries
of history. This state is yet young ; ev-
c ybody remembers everything now ; bnt
the time will come when all this will bo.
changed. Attested records are worth
wortl. more than double tradition. Bee.
The labor organizations which have
decided to boycott the World's fair on
account of the Sunday closing provision
in the appropriation bill passed at the
last session of Congress ought not to be
hasty. Another session ot Congress is
to be held before the opening of the ex
position , and if popular sentiment has
anything to do with popular government ,
the obnoxious clause which proposes to
exclude the public from the World's
fair on Sunday will be repealed. The
good sense of the people in this country
usually prevails in the end. Let the
trades assemblies keep on their coats
until they learn how this thing is going
to come out.
A GREAT deal of this "million
aire" racket is abominable rot. Sen
ator Plumb was charged -with be
ing a "plutocrat" because hewore
good clothes and smoked a pretty
fair grade of cigars , but when the
estate was settled and his debts
paid , his life insurance was about
all there was left to save the heirs
from the poor house. He lacked
§ 90,000 of being worth one-tenth
of a million.
THE latest Nebraska weather
crop bulletin says that a greatly
increased acreage of fall wheat is
being sown , in this state. This is
a result of excellent crops of this
important cereal in various parts
of the state this year and indicates
; hat a belief in the advantages of
diversified farming is becoming
general among those who have
litherto depended almost entirely
upon corn.
S. M. Cochran & Co. keep repairs
'or all kinds of machinery.
McCook attended the 'county fair yes
terday en masse.
