Bruce, of Creighton, wai in O'Neil) on Saturday, toqk in the con vention, was not satisfied, conceived an idea and proceeded to the unorganized territory to carry it into execution, re turning on Tuesday. Miner is a cuss on wheels, but is it bard to tell whether he works injury or good to the party. —The editor of the Niobrara News is altogether too sensitive. He is as mad as a wet hen because The Fbontieb gave him a little advice with regard to the paper business. He is a compara tively new hand at the bellows, and we supposed would appreciate friendly sug gestion, but it appears we were mis taken. like a great many- other men, he thinks he knawB as much about the mechanical work as those who have served a life-time in the print-shop. Well, Bro. Santee, slobber over again. We will refrain hereafter from saying anything, no matter what outlandish style you may adopt. —It is hard work to think. It is not hard work to let thoughts pass through the mind. That is very easy work; no work at all, in fact. But there is think ing that is hard work. There are tracks of thought that lead over chasms and up mountains. There aref necessary subjects of thought and decision, that require slow and patient investigation of facts, and then honest and careful progress to conclusions. On most sub jects, men have to work their way to Conclusions under the fire of sophistries and prejudices. And because it is bard work to think, there are so many who will not think. They let others do their thinking for them, and there are others who are perfectly willing to do it. Or they think they think, when they don’t think. Or in some other way, they get alone without any true and original thinking. —A yankee traveler has written to hie tnother telling her hie experience ae fol lows: “Western people are death on etiquette. You can’t tell a man here thatyie lies without lighting. A few days ago a man woe telling one of his neigh bors, ih my hearing, a pretty large story. Says I,\tranger, that’s a whopper!' Says he, ‘lie there stranger;’ and in the twink ing of an tye I found myself in the ditch a perfect quadruped. Upon another oc casion says X to a man I never saw be fore, as a woman passed: ‘That isn’t a specimen of your western women, is it?’ Bays he, ‘your afraid of fever and ague ain’t you?’ ‘Very much,’ says X. ‘Well,’ replied be, ‘that lady is my wife; and if you don’t apologize in two minutes, by the honor of a gentleman I swear that these two pistols,’—which he held cock ed in his hand—‘shall cure you of that disorder entirely.' Bo I knelt down and politely apologized. I admire the west ern country much, but darn me if I can stand so much etiquette; it a ways takes me unawares'” —If anyone in the future attempts to tell us that fruit cannet be raised in Nebraska we propose shooting him on the spot. To one who has attended the late state fair, the fallacy of such an as sertion is strikingly apparent. No dis play of better fruits—apples, pears, peaches, plums, etc.—was ever placed on exhibition than was there. To see is to believe. We must admit that while our residence in Nebraska has extended over a period of ten years we have never bafore seen sufficient evi dence to convince us as to her, by some claimed, superior abilities in this direc tion. Unreservedly, however, we can, now re echo all that has been claimed for her by her pomologists and mid to it osr endorsements Nebraska is pre eminently a fruit growing country. And with perhaps a now and then iso lated exception, any fruits that can be raised in other states in the same lati tude can be raised here, albeit it is not so much a claim of her’s for variety as it is for quality.—Norfolk Journal. COUNTY COLLECTIONS. FORT FLASHES. Fine weather for the season. Plenty of work and good pay here. We had quite an exciting horse race here, distance 500 yds. The betting v:as glib and ran high—some say $3000 was up. A gray and bay ran, the gray com ing out a neck ahead. I saw no farming land very desirable above the Long Pine; is too much brok en, with deep canyons and high bluffs, although we find quite frequently the actual settlers nestled on a beautiful flat, to take advantage .of wood and water. As we travel west and north the tall blue joint and red top disappear, and the small buflalo grass, so much prized for stock, prevails. The hay for this post is cut 15 miles away. large herds of cattle are kept by dif ferent ranchmen, on Die unoccupied land, varying from 1000 to 30,000 head. Winters past they have grazed and lived, but the losses have some times been so great that hay is put up for the graded stock and ponies. Thsy are rounded up in the spring to brand the calves, and again in the autumn to select the steers for market. Borne of the stock men employ 15 or 20 cow boys, who ride ponies and go well armed to protect themselves against. Indians, D. L. Pond. „ATKINSON ACTIONS. Atkinson is growing every day in wealth and importance. * The sheriff and deputy of Holt county paid a flying visit to Atkinson last Sat urday. _ ^ .. "'Mr. Smith, the butcher, bas complet ed his residence and gone east after his family. The school is progressing finely under the efficient management of Miss Hovey, of Long Fine, Mr. Sagendorf will soon move his residence near his drag store. He bas recently added a target gallery to the many attractions of his business. Mr. Bruce, of Niobrara, arrived here Sunday morning about four o’clock, changed horses, and started for Morris’ bridge. We will hear something soon. We are looking every day for the railroad surveyors, and we can almost imagine the whietlc of the locomotive and the voice of the conductor in sten torian tones crying, “passengers change pars at Atkinson Junction for the Black Hills, Paul City, Fort Niobrara and all points west.” Paul City is situated on section 14, at the bead of Ash creek. Moax Asos. FORD FEELERS. The railroad is ooming fast. Sup’t. O’Sullivan visited Mrs. Mills’ school last week. Wm. Bailey killed two deer in hit corn field a few days ago. Friends from Iowa are visiting Mr, Shultz and Miller for a few weeks. Two Texas steers, belonging to A B. Donaldson, strayed from his herd iasl week. Mrs. J. Coil, of Lyons, Neb., is visiting her daughter, Mrs, James O'Conner, this week. ' I haye seen no items from Ford for the past two weeks, so thought I wguM give you s few. We have a first class dressmaker at ' Ford. Ladies who wish their dresses made in the latest style should call oo Mrs. G.F. Smith. Mr. Edward Perry was badly bitten by a dog last week. One of bis arms was so badly torn that he will not be able to use it for some time. Fobd Friend. RED BIRD RIPPLES. Rev. Mr. Williams favored this com munity with several sermons last week. Mias Fannie Scott paid her Niobrara friends a visit last week, returning Sat urday. Frank Aiken is fast completing his now house and Thursday evening of this week is the time set for warming it up with a grand bop. News of the knocking down and rob ping of a Red Bird man last Friday night at Niobrara came to us by Satur day's mail, but have not yet learned full particulars or the party’s name. Last week the time-honored veteran trapping party left this place for the upper Niobrara, fully equipped to be ubsent eight months. The party con sisted of four, viz: Col. Frank Jones, O. F. and C. A. Bike and W. Biddle, ac companied by Barrett Scott, who took along one load of supplies. Besides this they have one team and wagon and one saddle horse of their own, all loads ed. The boys went abundantly prepar ed for comfortable camp life. Among tbe numerous articles and immense pilm of supplies we observed tbe follow ing: 7Whs tobacco, ISOtbs coffee, 1 barrel beans, 1Q0 stq«l traps, 50 bottles-atojish*, nine and 4 gat. dilated tarantula juice. The excessive proportion of coffee and tobacco struck us as strongly indicating a love for those beverages. There is no doubt but that they will make a success of the undertaking, as ail have had large experience in it. They have the best wishes of their many friends here. Mai. ATKINSON. The Second Town in Holt Coun ty—A Promising Future —Its Business, etc.. Briefly Stated. In company with that companionable disciple of Esculapius, Doc. Daggett, and that jolly Knight of St. Chrispin, (in* Hagensteiu, ye Frontier quill shover last week made a visit to O’Neill’s sister city of Atkinson. On the way up we diverged from the main road at Judge Malloy’s and visited Webster & Lovell's new ranch, situated ten miles from the Judge’s up the fertile, hand some valley of Holt creek, in the sand hills. This is one of the grandest sec tions of country for stock raising in this country of countries. The hills furnish an excellent range, while the bottom lands grow fine hay and no doubt good crops of corn and grain, though nt pres ent but little is cultivated. • Webster and Lovell have a bonanza, and know it. From the ranch we drove to Lost lake, Stopping on the way at Prospect hill (at least that is what the boys named it), one of the largest elevations of land we have seen. From its top the coun try was spread out in panoramic beauty. O’Neill, Atkinson and other towns are plainly distinguishable. Doc. insisted that he could see so distinctly for miles that Sheri. Sagendorf could be seen at Atkinson, 12 miles distant, asking the boys to “take something.” Lost lake is quite a pretty body of water, and was fairly alive with geese, ducks, cranes, and also there were sev eral beautiful swan, whose-puro—white ness and graceful movements could but excite the admiration of the lover of beauty and purity. Supper time found us at Atkinson, and it proved a grand place to be found aliout that lime Of day, too, and Mr. and Mrs.Bilney will bear us out in the state ment that we fully appreciated their efforts in the culinary line. The evening was devoted to business (note the advertisements) and pleasure. The pleasure mainly consisted in partic ipating in one of Sagendorf’s “way up” frontier dances, which tire as well as rest the physical man. The night was spent in Wheeler’s hay-mow, which proved a good place to rest, os old Mor pheus performed his duty as satisfac torily as though we were reposing on downy beds of ease, Farly-dawn found us up for a view of the town, and while we are writing we will give our readers our idea of what Atkinson is and will be in the future. The first to think of founding a town at this point was General John O'Neill, the originator of O’Neill City, now the county seat of Holt county. The Gen eral was disappointed in money matters, and for a time failed, but finally inter ested Cot. John Atkinson, of Detroit, Mich., in his scheme, and the town was laid out and named in honor of tho Col onel. Its natural location on the lovely Elkhorn is magnificent, and is situated so far from O’Neill (20 miles) that there will never be any conflict between the two places. In all probability when the county of Holt is divided, (which it will be some day, as it is altogether too large, being composed of nearly as much ter ritory as four ordinary counties) Atkin son will be made a county seat. The town is surrounded by a splendid farm ing eountry, and is destined to be one of the best inland towns in the west. At present her future looks bright indeed, and there is no reason why it should not prove to be ail its friends expect. It will no donht soon have one and perhaps owner of the town site, and is making I very liberal offers to parties who will permanently locate in the place „atuU build. In fact he proposes to give away a number of desirable lots to the right parties. Mr. Bitney is postmaster and general merchant, an enterprising, go ahead gentleman, thoroughly reliable, and will answer correspondents intelli gently, without misleading. He pro poses to do the square thing by private individuals, manufacturers, or railway corporations. Mr. Sherill Sagendorf, one of the first settlers, is a young man who believes, in progression, and is doing much for the town of his choice. He has erected three buildings—one used as a hardware and drug store by himself, a residence, and a blacksmith shop occupied by Mr, Daniel Lynch, a practical workman, re^ oently of Niobrara. Messrs. Theo. Wheeler & Son are new comers, but are ef the right stamp to assist in building up a new town. Al ready they have put up the largest and most convenient livery, sale and feed stable in the country. It is indeed a good one and reflects credit on the archi tect and builder, Mr. Alfred Miller, of Kankaka, III. The people should be and are proud of it. They are also pre paring to build a commodious store building and residence, and will other wise assist in improving the place. The senior gentleman, particularly, is a good one, and deserves the thanks of all of Holt county for the interest he takes in. her welfare. If every man in the coun ty would do as much in proportion to his means we would just more than boom. Dr. Ph. D. Paul is also a new comer, hut takes hold heartily, and is a valua ble acquisition to the community. His officers at the city drug store, and will attend tq $11 business in bis line, from, -peiWibing • dose of phytic to amputat wirmlimb. , Chilian Smith is arringingtaopeu a meats market, and will tee that the com munity does not suffer for fresh meat. Thit comprises the business of Atkin son at present, but it won’t be a great while ijntil the list wiil be trebled and metres- We honestly believe it is bound to be a first-class young city, an excel let# trading point. If it does not we miSs our calculations badly. All the above we took in before break fast,-and though it was good to take in it did not satisfy the cravings of the inner portion of the anatomy, and when Sagendorf suggested a bite it was right in our train of thought, and we acqui esced without a murmur. Mrs. Sagen doif we unhesitatingly pronounce, with ouvfiattery, either, an adept in the art of cookery, and it waa with the best of feelings toward Atkinsou and her people tbst we headed the ponies homeward. Success and good luck be your lot. HBGAL ADVERTISEMENTS. NOTICE.
