HOME
(Edgar A. Guest)
Home ain't a place that gold can buy or get up in a minute;
Aforo it’s home there’s got t’ be a heap o’ livin in it;
Within the walls there’s got t’ be some babies born, and then
Right there ye’ve got t' bring ’em up t’ women good, an’ men;
And gradjerly, as time goes on, ye find ye wouldn’t part
With anything they ever used—they’ve grown into yer heart;
The old high chairs, the playthings, the little shoes they wore
Ye hoard; an’ if ye could ye’d keep the thumb marks on the door.
Ye’ve got t’ weep t’ make it home, ye’ve got to work an’ sigh,
And watch beside a loved one’s bed, an’ know that death is nigh;
An’ in the stillness of the night t’ see Death’s angel come,
An’ close the eyes o’ her that smiled an’ leave her sweet voice dumb
Fer these are scenes that grip the heart an’ when yer tears are dried
Ye find the home is deareT than it was, an’ sanctified;
An’ tuggin’ at ye always are the pleasant memories
O’ her that* was an’ is no more—ye can’t escape from these.
Ye’ve got t’ sing an’ dance fer years, ye’ve got t’ romp an play,
An' learn t* love the things ye have by usin’ ’em each day;
Even the roses ’round the porch must blossom year by year
Afore they come a part o’ ye suggestin’ someone dear
Who used t’ love ’em long ago, tin’ trained ’em just t’ run
The way they do, so’s they would get the early mornin’ sun;
Ye’ve get t' love each brick an’ stone from cellar up t’ dome;
It takes a heap o* livin’ in a house t' make it home.

GETS PAYMENT OUT
OF GUARANTY FUND
-77
Stockyards National Wins Lawsuit
Over Certificate of Deposit In
Failed Long Pine Bank.
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 21.—The state
deposit guaranty fund was hit for
$7,400 more Thursday by reason of a
decision of the supreme court award
ing to the Stockyards National of
Omaha recorvery from the fund on the
certificate of deposit for the sum it
held when thg Brown County bank of
Long Pine was closed by the state.
The Omaha Bank was correspond
ent for the Long Pine institution,
and in the course of business discount
ed a $30,000 note given by E. M.
Sandy, cattleman, and secured by a
chattel mortgage on his herds. With
out the knowledge of the Omaha bank
Sandy sold a part of the cattle on the
market there, and the item went
through the Omaha bank, which gave
the Brown county bank credit. Later
its officials discovered what had hap
pened, and in settlement the Brown
county bank, having no cash, issued
this certificate of deposit for $7,400.
The district court held that this
constituted only a general claim, and
was not payable out of the guaranty
fund because it represented no deposit
of actual cash or its equivalent. The
supreme court says, however, 'that
when the Brown county bank received
the proceeds of a sale of chatties on j
which the Omaha bank held a valid
first mortgage, with knowledge that
the sale was made without the con
sent of the mortgagee, that the owner
ship of the deposit was in the Omaha
bank. It follows, it says, that the
Brown county bank was liable to the
other bank for the sum deposited,
which went to Sandy’s credit, and that
when a bank becomes insolvent before
paying such a certificate, the mort
gage may enforce payment from the
guaranty fund.
The fact that the transaction went
through the Stockyards National does
not make their claim valid. The court
says that where the employment of
bank clerks to perform purely minis
terial duties does not constitute them

CHARLES R. WELTON.
Charles R. Welton was bom at
Cohecton, N. Y., March 9, 1855, and
died at O’Neill, Neb., November 21,
1924, aged 69 years, 8 months and
12 days.
Deceased moved to Holt county
from Cleveland, Minn., in 1879, later
filing on a homestead near Clifton
Grove. He was a “child of the west,”
having spent several years on the Da
kota frontier previous to coming to
this part of the country with the trail
blazers who wrote much of west Ne
braska’s early history. He was mar
ried to Nellie Cruise, daughter of
Arthur Cruise, at Clifton Grove in
the fall of 1882 and to this union
was bom three children: Barney,
Ethel and Edward, all of whom reside
in Canada. Mrs. Welton passed away
when the children were yet small.
On September 11, 1915, he was mar
ried to Mrs. Lucy M. Allen at O’Neill.

ton of this city, three brothers and

of Mullen, Edward H. Welton, of
Josie; Frank Tr Welton, of O’Neill;
Mrs. J. F. Gunthorpe of Plainview;
Irs. Sam Gaffer of Mankato, Minn,;
VIrs. Iva Dale of O’Neill, and Mrs.
/loyd Pilger, also of O’Neill.
The funeral services were conduct
ed by Rev. J. A. Hutchins, of the

his mother at 2 o’clock Sunday after
noon and interment made in Pros
pect Hill cemetery. The pallbearers
were: H. J. Zimmerman, George Bay,
Emil Sniggs, Jos Wise, Zeb Warner
and Henry Mills.
In life Charles Welton was a fine
type of sturdy pioneer. He gathered
knowledge of much of the important
development that has taken place in
west Nebraska and he also took part
in much of the civic and official
activities of the pioneer days. When
his father was sheriff of Holt county
his services were given as deputy.
For a time he lived in Deadwood, S.
D., where he wtfiS a building contract
or, and many of the fine structures
in the Black Hills are the work of his
hands. He was a resident of Dawes
county, south of Whitney, and hunt
ed over the present site of Alliance
when the deer and antelope, shipped
to eastern markets, gave excellent
financial returns to the settlers in
that part of the country. In those
days he was a staunch friend of James
C. Dahlman, mayor of J}maha, when
he was a Chadron peace officer, and on
different occasions he acted as guide
in the western wilds for Capaian
Parker and Lieutenent Taylor of the
Ninth cavalry stationed at Fort Robin
son.
He returned to Holt county in 1905
and located near Josie postoffice, where
he resided up to the time of his last
sickness. His health commenced fail
ing two years ago, but he was able to
look after most of his ranch duties
until a few months ago. The direct
cause of death was Bright’s disease,
which later developed into dropsy, and
although his suffering had been in
tense during the last several weeks,
he bore up uncomplainingly and went
to his reward in peace and trust in
his savior.
His kind disposition and considera
tion for his neighbors and fellow-man
will make his loss the more deeply
morning by those who have known
him throughout the long span of
years that he had claimed Holt
county as his home.
CARD OF THANKS.
We wish to express our heartfelt
thanks to our dear friends and neigh
bors who so willingly assisted us in
the time of our great sorrow. Such
kindness is the seal in heaven of the
true Christian love and devotion that
we shall always hold for you.
Mrs. Charles Welton.

in three boats
set out for Nebraska
HOMAS JEFFERSON was President. The Louisiana Purchase
Act had just been passed and all formalities completed. Nebraska
had become a part of the United States.
Little was known about it. So in the summer of 1803 an expedition
consisting of three boats and about thirty-five men under the direction of
Captain Meriwether Lewis and Captain William Clark started out to
explore the country along the Missouri and its tributaries.
In July they reached the mouth of the Platte where they rested and
repaired their boats. Then proceeding up the river to a point about
eighteen miles north of Omaha, they had a formal council with six
chiefs of the Otoes and Missouri Indians at which the change in govern
ment from French to American was formally announced.
The ceremony was conducted with grave formality under an awning
formed by the main sail of one of the boats. This was the first public
business of the United States ever transacted in Nebraska.
The dim trails of the Indians and the wide tracks of buffalo herds
have disappeared. In their place, Nebraska has good roads, cornfields
and wheat fields by the square mile, millions of live stock, comfortable
homes and busy cities. Tney are the gift of Nebraska’s pioneers whose
blood and toil, heroic courage, steadfastness and vision made them
possible. The story of those brave days and people is an inspiring
heritage. Their spirit lives on.
Year by year Nebraska marches forward establishing new records of
achievement. In farm wealth and value of agricultural products per
person, no state equals her. Hens and hogs, beef, sheep and grain and
other agricultural products provide an income of over five hundred
millions a year. Her manufactures yield an even greater sum.
Nebraska prospers. A pioneer in the service of all the people of
Nebraska, a Nebraska institution operated in and for Nebraska by Ne
braska citizens, the Standard Oil Company of Nebraska takes pride in
its record of service. Since homesteading days, the Company has main
tained and expanded a convenient system for the distribution of petro
leum products that has kept step with Nebraska’s requirements. • Its
measure of success and prosperity depends on the service it renders.
