A Good Record.
Rev. Lusk, of Prairie Union,
was in the city last Saturday and
gave us a very pleasant call.
Rev. Lusk not only kept the
duties of a pastor to his congre
gation fully up to the standard
during the past year, but raised
a 35 acre corn crop besides. He
is now fall ploughing and expects
to sow 35 acres of fall wheat
within the next few days. All
this in addition to helping his
neighbors with their work when
occasion required. We doubt if
there is another pastor in Ne
braska that can beat this record,
and still not neglect any part of
his duties to his congregation.
Shubert Citizen.
