Homestead (Received Friday, Juno 25) Mrs. Garfield Ball and the children re turned home several days ago from a two xveeks' visit near Hemingford. Spoon & Hiser are at xvork with their well drilling outfit again, having begun a xvell for Denny Bergen this week. John Hickey and Georgo Janes finished planting their potatoes last xveek. Ditto John Keane and others in this vicinity, It is reported that the Nicholson Bros, have just bought a train load of cattle in Denver for their ranch on Whistle Creek. Master Guy Jennings, a grandson of Mrs. Miller's, came out this week to spend his vacation xvlth his grandmother. His home is in Greeley, Colo. We xvere told by one of our neighbors that he had been offered $2,500 for his homestead but had refused it. He has only held his land for one year. Will Nicholson recently returned to the ranch from Hot Springs, where ho has been taking treatmet for a severe attack of rheumatism of several months' standing. New cream separators xvere received in this neighborhood last Saturday by Robt. Spoon, Charlie Hiser and John Ryan all from Missouri; not the separators, but the men xve mean, Rev. Otto, pastor of the Homestead and Canton churches, xvas ordained to the ministry during the Northxxestern Associa tion meeting of Baptist churches in Al liance last Saturday. Fristid Hickey seems to have more than his share pf sickness in his family. We are told that txvo, or more of his children have recently been suffering with appendi citis. W e hope this is a mistake, but if it is true then xve hope they will speedily re cover. If it's only the early bird that catches the worm, then they've got us beat out here some of us at least for a few of the neigh bors and ye scribe did not get their grain and potatoes. in until within the past few days; in fact some of us are plantiug pota toes yet. A xveek or so ago J. S. Thorn met xvith a painful accident while unhitching his team from the plow during a thunder storm. The horses became frightened, one of them getting Mr. Thorp under his hind feet, breaking a rib and otherwise bruising him up. A little excitement xvas created around here a fexv days since by the report that lumber was selling for $18 per thousand in Hemingford, and one, at least, of Home stead residents xvent to town post haste, but found it selling for $21, But this is better than $27 and $28, A, D. Weir has just finished putting in about txventy-five acres of crops and ex Dects soon to build a hnnsn Mrs. Wnlr I and the tittle boys are in Omaha, xvhero 1 Dwight has been in school.

I A terrible windstorm, bordering on a Hurricane, passed over this section Satur day evening doing no little damage. In some places it xvas accompanied by hail. The wind turned over a top buggy for Perry Ball, carried J. S Thorp's hay rack several rods and demolished it, blexv the roof off of part of Neighbor Wallege's house, raised Mrs. Miller's frame barn from the ground, tearing it to pieces and scattering it over the prairie, and othet xx ise doing damage. Speaking of the Homestead church re minds us to say that there are few if any better Sunda schools in the country dis tricts in northwestern Nebraska than that of the Homestead church. A xveek ar,o last Sunday there xvere sixty-three present and last Sunday the house would not hold the people xvho came to attend the Child- ren's Day exercises. This school xvas or-, ganized in the home of one of the home Meaders txvo years ago. and when the large sod school house was built, the school moved there and has grown on, steadily increasing in attendance and interest, xvith Mrs. Robt. Spoon as superintendent. All ready the prairie round about is be coming dotted xvith mounds beneath which rest the bodies of someone's loved dead, and we are reminded in these tempestuous, ' trouble-burdened dais that death assurely comes to the homesteader in wayofl Sioux , county, as to the crowded tenement in the seething city. With forty or fifty school children enrolled in our school district, a Sunday school of over sixty persons, and uiuer prooi mat many people are now living around us, and many of them will die here, is it not time and appropriate that we arrange for a suitable burial place for our dead?
