Mrs. J. S. Thorp has been very sick
for the past ten days, but is improving.
However, the doctor, who camo out
from Hcmmcford to sco her, has ad
vised Mr. Thorp to arrange for her to
go into a lower altitudo ns soon as pos
sible, and ho expects to take her to a
sanitarium in Lincoln as soon as she is
able to travel, Asthma and heart
trouble are the cause of her illness.
We are sorry to loso Mrs. Thorp from
the neighborhood as both slio and her
husband are neighbors tho kind of
which it is a. pleasure to live near in
this ago and neighborhood, always at
tending strictly to thoir own business
and never talking about their neighbors
or stooping to tho petty gossip that al
ways works injury to someone whoso
struggle may bo already all he can
stand,

has advertised to prove up in about 60
days. With him Gcorgo Hedgccock,

We know of 110 more plucky home
steader and doubt whether there is one
in Amorica, than our neighbor, Me

his determination to be a burden on no
one, neither tell his trouble to any
one, was the motivo that proinptcd him
to come out here. For three years ho
has lived on his homestead alone, all
this time bo crippled with rheumatism
hb to make it impossible for him to
walk more than a few steps at a time,
and never able to do any work of any
kind. Ho has been failing rapidly the
past few months and now can scarcely
get across his little sod room. Ho told
us n few days since that ho would
rather starve almost, than to cook tho
one meal a day that ho manages to
get. He is an educated man and a
gentlemen, having at one timo been
county superintendent of schools. His
time is not long on this or any other
homestead and ere long he will be go
ing over to leport to Him who said, "I
was sick and ye visited mo for
inasmuch as ye did it unto ouo of tho
least of these, ye did it unto me," and
we've been wondering of late what ho
will tell the Master of our care for him
while we had him in our midst-

Ed Leathers and his father went to
Hemingford last week and purchased
a new Acme mower of the implement
man, Ben Johnson,
Mr. and Mrs. E. G. Boyer spent a
few days down on tho Platto near
Bayard last week. Tho drive homo
through the heat on Monday was very
hard on Mrs. B who was quite sick
as a result.
Mr. Kauffman, one of our fellow
homesteaders who isn't afraid of work
and who is getting to the front, made
a trip to Hemingford this week after a

speed. So iu the recent fast time made
