Sioux City Journal, Dec. 25, 187G:
The Jackson, Nebraska, school is
flourishing. It is so large that it
has been found necessary to employ
an assistant teacher.
Sioux City Journal, Dec. 25, 189G:
Col. Harland Baird, of Dakota coun
ty, is in the city. Mr. Baird is one
of the oldest farmers in the county
and a former member of the legis
lature. He is now an applicant for
Indian agent on the Winnebago.
...A man in the city yesterday
from Nebraska said that during the
recent presidential campaign a rich
Dakota county farmer, who had
plenty of money in the bank, drew
a large sum in gold and buried it in
his back yard, intending to sell it at
a premium if Bryan should be elect
ed. But McKinley was the choice
of the people, and the farmer depos
ited the money in a Sioux City bank.
Sioux City Journal, Dec. 10, 187G:
The Covington, Columbus and Black
Hills railroad train sports a peanut
vender. The little fellow made a
round trip last week without dispos
ing of a single nut, and now he is of
the opinion that a great stagnation
in business exists over the land.
However, he intends to stick to his
present route and grow up with the
country.
Sioux City Journal, Dec. 17, 189G:
Mr: and Mrs. Atlee Hart, of Da
kota City, were in the city yesterday
on their way to Chicago.

According to the latest reports no
trace has been found of Clyde Ar

in Mr. Armour's automobile. The
brothers who are now in New Mexi
co where Clyde was last seen, ' are
expected home soon. They were
unable so far to find any trace of
'their brother, whom they think was
killed by his companion, and who
sold the car and other effects.
The Chinese have a custom of cel
ebrating the advent of Now Vears,
either by paying off old debts, or,
if they are creditors and the debtor
is unable to pay, then by canceling
the debt. Thus the now yc ar begins
with a clean slate. Communities
are all alike in many respects and
the problem of Waokon.ja little
town in Iowa, is the problem of a
thousand others. We have too
many unpaid accounts on our books.
Why not profit by the Waukon idea,
and have a pay-up week, say the
first week of the year 1917, when
the slate shall bo wiped clean and
tho new year started free of debt?
Lets see how many of our subscrib
ers and patrons will respond.
In laying claims to- the oldest ru
ral route carrier jn point of service,
the Wayne Democrat and Ponca Ad
vocate each claim the honor for
northeast Nebraska. They are both
wrong, as Dakota City has a carrier
in tho person of E. J. McKernan,
carrier on route 2 that has been in
continuous service since February
1902, when the ro-ute was establish
ed, nine months longer than the old
est carrier at Po nca. Edgar Fred
erick, carrier on route 1 from the
DaKota uity ottice, has neen in con
tinuous service since November I,
1903, a year later than the Ponca
man, and froni nil apnearances is
good for another thirtoen years.
He was tho first carrier in this part
of the state to adopt the automobile
and for about five years has used a
Ford when the roads would permit.
Both our carriers now use cars.

DAKOTA CITY-SALEM
A white Christmas, that is what it
was, and white a long way up, clean
to the top. And what a beautiful
snow it was. Came down so easily
and straight, not a breath of air
stirring. It was just the thing for
a Christmas. Haven't heard of any
cars that were suffering on account
of the snow.
There were some who did not
want to come out into the weather,
but many came anyhow. We had
a fine house full, a jolly Christmas
crowd. That's what it was. Acted
that way, anyhow. Who said it
was weather that keeps people home?
0, no, it isn't the weather at all.
Some were sick, and couldn't get
out. The preacher was just about
that way, but Mr. M. Learner came
to the rescue and took him and his
family out in tho closed Mitchell.
The chorus did well. They sang
with a good spirit and a happy heart.
How did that lamp know it was
Christmas and that wo needed the
light very badly? Anyhow it seem
ed to know, and so it decided to be
naughty, it being the only time it
ncted so. We see how rrtuch to be
desired are those electric lights for
which we are hoping. It will be a
glad day when we can have them.
The membership of the chorus
will please note that there will be
no practice this next Friday night.
We'll rest during the holidays.
A well filled house greeted the
boys and girls at Emmanuel and
they gave a good rendition of the
Board of Education's program. The
music was helped veiy much by the
Biermann brothers with their violin
and cornet. They have our thanks.
The Emmanuel offering was $1.83.
Pnofiably a word should bo said
here -as to some shortage of treats
for the young folks, some families
did not receive all around. At Sa
lem wine of the boxes, evidently,
were stolen, for those who had the
matter in charge are sure they
wrote names on boxes that were not
delivered to the owner. They might
have been mistaken if it had been
but an isolated case or two, but
when there appeared to be so many
they can hardly bo mistaken. At
Emmanuel, it was simply a shortage.
We had what we usually have. It
was the fault of the pastor if it is
anybody's.
We would like to call attention to
the social at Salem New Year's
night, Monday, January 1, 1917.
Why shouldn't we have a social time
and visit. Wo'do not make so many
calls as we used to on one another.
So let's redeem ourselves and come
together at the church. This is for
everybody, the whole commpnity.

An Oriental
Funeral.
taken from
Tho following is
Boise, Ida., paper:
Despite the rain which Bomewhat
marred tho solemnity of the out
door service, the funeral of Dr.
Chin Man Sui was carried out with
all the pomp of the Chinese Masonic
ritual in 'front of the Chinese temple,
Monday at 1 o'clock.
The regular oriental service was
augmented by the municipal band,
which went as far as tho bridge
with the funeral cortege, leaving
the Chinese band to frighten away
tli mill arii-iti -frnm tlinro nn in thfi
cemetery.
Had the funeral been held accord
ing to the ancient Chinese customs,
there would have been at least one
hired mourner, for the deceased
left no relatives on this side of the
globe to mourn him. A good mourn
er usually can command about $!)(),
for it is no easy job, but this was
not the custom among Americans.
Practically aM of the Chinese colo
ny attended tho funeral, a dozen au
tomobiles hems: filled and the rest
going on foot.
At the grave the usual roast pig
and other baked funeral meats, rice
and substitute for wine, which is
necessary for the spirit to use en
route to the other world, were laid
on the grave, and the garments of
deoeased burned on the funeral
nyra.
