Ind., arrived in the city last Fridaj

Miss Corbett visited here last fall ant
became so fascinated with the countrj

this city her home.
Michael Horrisky, the efficient mai
clerk on the Burlington, won th*
grand prize at the “Seven-Up” tourn
ament at the K. C. Club Rooms lasl
Monday evening. Mike must hav*
greatly improved in the science ol
the game since the night we playec
with him, some four weeks ago.
The county board completed theii
work of checking up the various
county officers last Friday and ad
journed until February 17. Th«
work of checking up the county
officials usually takes the board sis
to eight weeks, but this year the work
was done in a little over three weeks.
Clyde and Dell Johnson, pioneer
settlers of Rock Falls township and
among the largest cattle owners in
the northern part of the county, were
callers last Saturday and left orders
at this office for sale bills for their
large sale which will be held at their
ranch on March 18. See their ad
vertisement of the sale on another
page.
George D. Perkins, the old-time
and brilliant editor of the Sioux
City Journal, passed away at his home
in Sioux City last Tuesday morning.
Mr. Perkins was one of the ablest
newspaper men of the country and
his passing will be greatly mourned by
newspaper men throughout the entire
west, who loved to read the briliant
editorials penned by him.
The great number of sale ads car
ried by The Frontier this week is
proof conclusive that the farmers of
this section know the paper that has
the circulation in Holt county.
Newspaper adverising of public sales
pay the investor many times over,
and if you are going to have a sale
you do not want to overlook this
great medium of publicity.
Mr. Ground Hog seen his shadow
Monday morning and that same even
ing we had a little storm. Nothing
to it you say! Well, perhaps not, but
it seems funny to have spring-like
weather all winter until the confound
ed Ground Hog came out and seen
his shadow and then it turned cold
The way it feels at noon today we
do not blame Mr. Hog for crawling
back into his hole.
; funeral services having been held at
i the German Lutheran church in Em
met. A baby was born to Mr. and
i Mrs. Hoehne about ten days ago and
the immediate cause of death
was blood poisoning. The many
friends of the family tender their
sincere condolence to the heartbroken
family in their hour of trouble.
The Palmer Journal prints a real
pointed and timely little article under
the head: "Are You Guilty?” We
are tempted to print it again with
the addition of another little head:
, “Consistency, Thou Art a Jewel.” A
farmer carrying an express package
from a Chicago mail order house was
accosted by a local merchant. "Why
didn’t you buy that bill of goods from
me? I could have saved you the ex
press and besides you would have
patronized a home store, which helps
pay the taxes and build up this lo
cality.” The farmer looked at the
merchant a moment and then said:
“Why don’t you patronize your home
paper and advertise? I read it and
didn’t "know you had the stuff I have
here.”
Mr. and Mrs. Ben Harty returned
'.ast Friday from a business and
pleasure trip to Chicago and north
ern Wisconsin, of two weeks duration.
While away Mr. Harty purchased the
3tock for the gents’ furnishing store
that will be opened by Harty Brothers
& Mullen about March 1. They will
put in a bran new up-to-date stock
and by handling nothing but the best
lines hope to be able to merit a share
)f the business. Harty Brothers have
oeen in the tailoring business in this
-ity for the past five years and have
)een very successful. They will con
tinue their tailorng business in con
nection with the gents’ furnishings.
The other member of the firm is Ber
nard Mullen, son of Mrs. Mike Mul
len of this city and was born and
,'aised here. He is an energetic,
lustling young man. The Frontier
wishes the new firm success.
Mrs. Elizebeth Mary Cronin died
it her home in this city on Saturday,
January 31. Tuberculocis was the
Immediate cause of death. The de
ceased same to O’Neill about four
years ago and lived at her home,
about four miles north of this city,
until about two months ago when she
jpoved to this city and lived in the
northeastern part of town until her
leath. With the disease from which
she suffered there was no hope of
■ecovery and she quietly and patiently
)ore her sufferings with Chris
tian resignation until the last.
Nine children survive her, namely:
Marie Margaret, Charles, Francis,
John, Clara, Paul, Thresia, Helen and
Lucille, the latter being but a few
nonths old. The funeral was held
Tuesday morning from the Catholic

The sympathy of all go to the afflicted

farmers were present and seen r
Cedar county man walk off with th
pride of the herd. The man wh
bought him is from Wynot, Ceda
county, and he is engaged in the pur
bred hog business and knew a goo.
animal when he seen one and wa
prepared to pay twice the sum h.
paid in order to get him. In additioi
to walking off with the head of thi
herd he also purchased 2 of the youn;
brood sows. The Frontier is of th'
opinion that the hog raisers of thi.
county made a mistake when the;
allowed such a splendid animal a
Pawnee Mastiff to leave the county
The pure bred sows brought a bette:
price than did the head of the herd
but at that, those who purchased wen
fortunate, as they would have pai(
double what they did at a pure brei
sale and then possibly would have
secured an inferior grade of stock.
A few of our readers have re
sponded to our request of a couple ol
weeks ago and have paid up theii

large numberr in arrears. You)
prompt payment of your indebtednes;
would be greatly appreciated at the
present time.

Lovers of the grappling game
were given a rare treat last Monday
night. On that evening the match
between Big Thompson of Omaha and
Young Carley of North Dakota, was
pulled off. The North Dakota man
proved to be Ben Pavelek of Verdi
gris, one of the toughest wrestlers in
the state. When Pavelek sized up
lis opponent he thought he would
have very little trouble winning the
match as he was considerably heav
ier than Thompson, but Thompson
made up in quickness and science
what he lacked in weight, and it was
only after an hour and ten minutes
of the toughest kind of work that
Pavelek was able to pin him to the
mat for the first fall. The second
fall came easier, Pavelek securing it
after about five minutes of work.
Thompson surprised the big man
from Verdigris and several times had
dangerous holds on Pavelek, but the
latters great strength enabled him
to break them. Thompson several
times broke holds that looked danger
ous and proved himself a finished
wrestler. Thompson is a son of
Elliott Thompson for many years a
resident of this city and he spent his
early boyhod here. Local sports are
now trying to get up a match be
tween Thompson and Cobb of Stuart
and men who have seen them both
on the mat say it would be a great
contest.
The Henry Lorge sale north of
town last Tuesday was successful
but could have been more so had his
hogs brought the prices that hogs of
that grade should have brought. Mr
Lorge had the finest herd of pure brec
Poland China hogs in this section oi
the state. At the head of his here
he had Pawnee Mastiff No. 2033C3
■ one of the best bred hogs in the en
tire state. His sire was a ribboi
i winner at the Sioux City Inter-Stati
i fair and the Nebraska State fair a
■ Lincoln in 1912. This hog was wortl
