COLEMAN.
Mary Heum visited Maud Coleman ,
Tuesday.
Mike Coyle Is going with Tom Rea'ls
thresher.
M. H. Cole has several hundred bush
els of old corn in his crib.
A. Prentice threshed his wheat.
He had over 400 bushels.
Lou , Dell and Is. Coruthers went up
north , Saturday , after plums.
William Sharp and family cut cab
bage with Uncle Billy , Sunday.
Will Prentice and Bert Wales started -
ed , Monday morning , for eastern Kan
sas.
Albert and Jacob Smith were up
north of the Willow , Friday , and got
two bushels of plums.
Tom Coyle and Floyd Proper went
pluming , Thursday and Friday , and
got iour aud one-half bushels
William Coleman and family of
McCook took dinner with Mr. add
Mrs. J. W. Corner on Sunday.
Remember the Republican caucus
at the Coleman school house next
Monday , August 21st , from 4 to 6
o'clock.
The Sunday school picnic that
should have been held Tuesday , last
week , was held on Thursday , and they
had a fine time.
Matt Droll shipped a car load of
wheat , GOG bushels , to Chicago , Wed
nesday. It was a part of his wheat
crop grown this year.
William Sharp don't know what is
the matter with Uncle Billy's water
melons. He didn't eat over three and
he was sick as a calf.
Rev.W.O.Norvalof McCook preach
ed at the Coleman school house , last
Sunday. These services will continue
right along now , every two weeks at
11 a. m. , fast time.
Frank and Roy Coleman took a two
days trip after plums , last week.
They got four bushels. They got a
bushel before , and Uncle Billy sa3rs
they will have to stint along on these
if they can't get any more.
A traveller stopped over night with
Uncle Billy , Tuesday night , and for
lodging and breakfast and feed for
one horse he charged him a quarter.
After the stranger left the family
gathered around to take a look at
that quarter , as it was the first one
they had seen for a long time.
Albert Finley left and went back
to Iowa to farm. Last week he wrote
back that he rented and sowed to
small grain twenty acres. He paid
$16 for cutting it. and he would wil
lingly take $16 for the entire crop on
the twentj' acres. He paid $3 per
acre , cash , for the use of the land.
He will probably be back here in time
to put in another crop.
One of the neighbors was bothered
with the coyotes taking chickens , so
-he fixed up an image ot a man that
looked quite natural , with hat coat
and pants on , and stood him up where
the coyotes had caught several chick
ens. It did not successfully accom
plish the purpose for which it was in
tended , for Mr. Coyote slipped up and
hid behind it and soon had a chicken.
Had he set up a feminine image robed
in a bicycle suit , the chicken might
have been saved and the coyote scared
to death.
A couple of grown boys went into
Uncle Billy's melon patch , Sunday
night , and selected a very large ,
choice watermelon. He had kept a
sack on it for a week , to protect it
from the hot sun. He proposed to
have one good melon and some choice
seed from the same , but they gobbled
it and went north through the bean
patch and the grove and then north
west across the alfalfa patch to the
pasture ; just on the inside of the
pasture on the grass they surrounded
it , and there Uncle picked up a few
seeds. Boys , don't be so contemptibly
sneaking : go in the daytime and
Uncle will give jrou all the melons
3tou can eat and you will feel a good
deal better over it. If you will just
be as nice as the girls you will never
steal another melon : for who ever
heard of girls visiting a melon patch
after night.

ciation will hold its fall meeting in

NORTH COLEMAN.
The Spring creek school house was
mjpved Monday and Tuesday. It now
stands about H miles northwest of
where it did.
Tuesday , Dr. Gage and Ed Laycock
were in our vicinity viewing crops
and and entertained
sight-seeing , were
ed bjr G. H. Simmerman.
Robby Traphagan was bathing in
the Willow and got beyond his depth.
It might have been serious had not an
older brother rescued him.
The groves and canyons afford an
immense supply of plums and grapes.
They are being eagerly gathered- .
The supply lessens every day.
Tuesday evening , the Hon A. F.
Moore of McCook gave an excellent
address before the McKinley Club of
Coleman precinct on the issues of the
Republican campaign.
Uncle Billy is worthy of a rising
vote of thanks for information regarding -
garding the yield of grain. * There is
a verse in the fore part of the Bible
which is repeated 62 times , so says a
young Colemanite.
Last Friday a threshing party took
place at A. Prentice's. . An enjoyable
time was had. Mesdames W. H. EpI
perly and Wm. Sharp were the generous -
erous ladies who assisted Mrs. Prentice -
tice in preparing the supplies for the
"inner mau" . Much credit is due the
ladies who spared no pains to make
the bill of fare palatable , enjoyable
and digestable , which is no small
trait.
They had the Spring creek picnic
over again on Thursday of last week.
Prof. Neusebaume , a blind musician ,
was there Avith his organ. We are
told that we lost a great treat by not
being there. The Prof , was also at
the Coleman school house on Sunday
the 23d. at the services. The people
highly enjoyed his singing and music
and tarried after church and had a
short musical entertainment. The
house was well filled in the evening.
The Prof , was on hand. The Y. P.
meeting began , led by Miss Maud
Coleman , who probably has has not
reached her teens. She did well. Her
choice of hymns was especially pleas
ing. The Endeavor was almost one
constant jubilee. The choir consisted
of Misses Carrie Bixler and Grace
Cole and Messrs. Will and Chas. Bix
ler and Willie Peterson , the latter of
Spring creek. The Prof , requested
the congregation to join in the sing
ing which they did. There were del
egates to be elected to go to the con
vention at Indianola. The ones elect
ed were , Wm. Sharp , Chas. Bixler ,
Mi&s Hattie Wales and Ira Divine.
An invitation had been sent from the
South Side Endeavor to join them in
a grove meeting near McCook. But
as there is so much work to be done
it was thought best to decline with
thanks. A vote of thanks was then
given the Prof. , who in turn thanked
the the people for their hospitality.
It was indeed a rare treat. At a late
hour the meeting closed.
RED WILLOW.
Ely Crockford was able to 'be out
last Sunday.
Little Vernie Black was ill the flist
of the week.
The Red Willow Endeavor society
accept an invitation to the South
South Endeavorers in a rally meeting
next Sunday in Fitch's grove.
Delegates were elected br the Y.
P. S. C. E. to attend the convention
at Indianola. Will Me3rers , Lulu
Helm , Horace Taylor and Mary Can-
aga are the delegates.
A silver club is talked of at Red
Willow. There will be a silver meet
ing at Red Willow school house. Thurs
day evening. The Pops are puzzling
over the future vice-president. The
president is all right but what a mix.
Artie Ruggles was thrown from a
horse , last Sunday , and broke and
dislocated a shoulder. The animal
'reared back upon the little fellow.
Mr. Ruggles' family have the sympa
thy of all their neighbors. It seems
as if a farmer had about enough to
bear without accidents of that kind
this 3ear.
The social at J. F. Helm's was a
shining success and everyone agreed
that Mr. and Mrs. Helm were model
entertainers. We are sorry to say
that a freezer of ice cream that
found its way to the hog pen killed
a hog. The ice cream was not all of
so fatal a nature , but some one mis
took lemon oil for essense and spoiled
a freezer of cream ; still there Avas
plenty. The Misses Oyster were
among the guests and remained over
Sunday at John Longnecker's. Rain
made it rather unpleasant for the
party returning home.
