O. G. Whitfield Hurt in Runaway
Last Saturday morning 0. G.
Whitfield started to cut wheat,
with his span of mules hitched
to the binder. They ran away,
taking down along the barb wire
fence, catching Mr. Whitfield
between the seat and the barb
wire, scratching and cutting him
on the arms and back, one cut on
the wrist being a pretty bad one.
He has been putting in most of
his time patching himself up
since then.
George Fisher says one of these
mules is the greatest thing to
work he ever saw. When dinner
time came they had to catch her
as she came past and blindfold
her till they could unharness her.
She wanted to keep right on
working.

the W. C. T. U. has been post
poned for one week. The meet
ing will be held Friday, July 10,

No sand can be bought in Ne
maha, consequently all cement
work, plastering, etc., has come
to a stand still. In former years
all we had to do was to drive
over to the banks of the Missouri
river and dig out what we want
ed, but recently it has been hard
to find good sand', so it has been
shipped in from the Platte river.
Ernie Alexander wrenched his
right knee Tuesday, spraining it
badly. It will be several days
before he can use it. He was
shocking wheat for George Seid.
During the noon hour he had
been scuffling with some of the
young fellows. In making a
quick turn he twisted his knee
and went down. He will not be
able to work probably for a week
or two and perhaps longer.
District Sunday
School Ccnvention
Arrangements are being made
to hold a district Sunday school
convention at Nemaha on Sun
day, July 10. If the weather is
favorable the convention will be
held in the park; otherwise in
one of the churches. A union
Sunday school will be held at 10
o'clock. The convention will in
clude the Sunday schools in Ne
maha, Aspinwall and St. Deroin
precincts. Further particulars
will be given next week.
County Superintendent Geo.D.
Carrington, jr., was in Nemaha
Thursday, meeting the directors
of the school districts in this part
of the county. If crowded, we
are of the opinion that George
would acknowledge that he is a
candidate for the republican nom
ination for state superintendent
and would appreciate the votes
of the people here. If left to
the voters of Nemaha county
George would be elected almost
by acclamation.

lightning and tornado insurance.
