—It is hard work to think. It is not

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.

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.

Mias Fannie Scott paid her Niobrara
friends a visit last week, returning Sat

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.
