BETWEEN THE RIVERS.
We understand that Miss Gertie
Jeffers of North Platte will Kach
the school at Nichols again this
year, or at least two ol the directors
have given their consent and the
oilier one says he don't care.
Miss Kite Oilman of North
Platte, who has taught in the
schools at Sutherland for the past
two year, will teach the upper de
partment at llershey the coming
year.
G. A. Staples and crew arc load
tug hay at Nichols lrom off the
Thomas land over on the south
aide.
O.ving to the illness of a daughter
Mr. Wilcolt of Paxton, who pur
chased the new hotel at llershey is
not at tlm time certain when he
will be able to take possession of it
but will as soon as things will per
mit. The new potato crop in the
valley this seaion is the ' finest
both in quantity and quality cyer
raised. Everybody has plenty and
to spare.
' Bert Wright has severed his con
nection with the Nichols section
crew and has gone to work in the
Staples haying crew.
W. L. Brownfield on the Max
Bier ranch is loading baled hay
at llershey.
The rain Tuesday night stopped
harvest and haying for a day or so,
A. A. Leister has sufficiently re
covered from his late illness that
he can wit Id a hammer in his black
smith shop at llershey once more,
which is greatly appreciated by
his many patrons.
The second crop ol alfalfa will
soon do to harvest for hay. The
mowers will be clicking in some of
t the coming week.
The county commissioners must
certainly think that Nichols pre
cinct is composed of a gold mine or
else they did what they knew was
wrong when they recently raised
the valuation of the lOarl estate in
that precinct sixty per cent. It is
not doing by others as they would
have others do by them.
Oacar Goodwin left the first of
the week for the vicinity of Ilold
rege where he is at work ou M.
Mlckclrieu's farm.
Miss Delia Marovish, who taught
in the North Pl.itle schools last
year, has been engaged to teach
the O'Pallou school the coming
