are reviewing England from its ear

About the first time Britain was
heard of Julius Ceasar made the first
invasion. Several hundred years later
the Saxons conquered it. These peo- j
pie were of a very barbarous type j
thus, keeping England from progress-;

I Great who started some headway for
I progress. In 106G William of Nor
I mandy conquered England from the
Anglo-Saxons thus bringing French
i influence in. About this time the
Feudal System had made much head
way over Europe.
The governments were poor which
made it more possible to be more
easily conquered. King William set
up a more efficient central government
but England was lighting for liberty.
The Tudor kings came in about this
time. Among these were Henry II and
Edward I, two great lawgivers among
the English kings. King John came
in between King Henry and King
Edward. Through some misrule he
was forced to give a Magna Carta or
in other words a set of laws. We
have some of these rules, in addition
to others, in our country today.
Several hundred years later England
was in war with France. It was
mainly a struggle between kings for
more territory. England nearly de
stroyed France. This was in the
Hundred Years war and at this time
the plague, Black Death, was killing
people in all parts of Europe. This
was the hardest on the serfs and vil
leins thus starting the decay of serf
dom in England. All opportunities
were open for England to progress.
iNew teacmngs ot religion, art, science,
and literature were found. Parliment
was gaining great power. In about
1485 the Henry line of kings was be
coming prominent. During Henry
VIII’s reign little progress occurred.
His daughter, Elizabeth, was known
to be the greatest queen of all time.
With the characteristics of her father
and those of her mother, Anne Baleyn,
she made great success of her rule
which lasted forty-five years. The
Church of England was founded dur
ing King Henry’s reign. In 1600,
England was a true protestant
country The furniture, which is very
very antique to us now, was made
during the ages of the Renaissance or
this period of history. It all has some
history connected with it. It is found
to be very artistic and beautiful.
We are giving interesting reports
on the different Kings and wars of
England European History is noth
ing but a continued story and we all
enjoy it.

SI KKOl NDING AND
PLEAS ANT VIEW ITEMS
Ivan Pruss is on the sick list.
Akin Walnofer finished moving his
family to his ranch near Chambers.
Mr. and Mrs. Floyd Barnes and son,
Donald, entertained relatives at their
home Monday.
Walter Rics and sister, Henrietta,
visited their sister, Mrs. Hans Rogue
Monday evening.
Mrs. Lessaman, of Atkinson, is
spending a few days with her daughter,
Mrs. Tena Winkler.
Mrs. Charlotte Kidle and sister of
Omaha were over night visitors of
Mr. and Mrs. Ivan Cone last week.
For the lack of pupils Henrietta
Dexter finished her school in District
152 on Friday. Luncheon was served.
Mr. and Mrs. Elmer Strong and
son, Eugene Francis, were dinner
guests of his sister, Mrs. Melvin Kling
ler and Melvin of O’Neill, Sunday.
CELIA ITEMS.
Mr. Frickel, the hustling Celia
farmer, marketed six truck-loads of
hogs in Atkinson, Saturday.
Mrs. Johnson invited several friends
and neighbors down for dinner Sun
day, and was successful in welcoming
them in this time. The weather was
very threatening in the morning, but
moderated. The guests gave the
goose a smooth sailing in the repast,
but by the time they were through it
showed rough handling.
The weatherman has made some
queer demonstration this week and
there has been some wonderful trans
formation as well, every day for a few
days, has started with considerable
blustering, wind and snow, but by noon
the Match Lion has been transformed
into the Meekest, Mellowist Spring
Lamb you ever saw. There is no new
snow and the old snow melted fast.
A piece of road in our community
about 40 or 50 rods long has caused
the traffic considerable trouble, being
covered with one to two feet of snow.
The latest victim being Mr. Lauridson
and wife, who driving out to the ranch
got stuck and had to be helped out,
A.fter being released out of the pre
dicament he decided to detour, but on
crossing a ditch something went wrong
with the car and could not get out. It
had to be left and Mr. Lauridson walk
ed home.
This correspondent and a few other
neighbors enjoyed through the kind
ness of the Greenwoods, listening to
the inauguration over their radio
Monday. The program came in clear
and distinct, as did also the program
given at President Hoover’s home town
in California. Johnson and Green
wood were somewhat disappointed
when the names were read, of the
members of the president’s cabinet,
since it did not include theirs. An
oversight, evidently, by the president.
CELIA ITEMS.
(Received too late for last week.)
The sale of Mrs. Keidel, Tuesday,
was pretty well attended and things
sold, brought good prices.
The cold weather has moderated
somte, but there is still a great surplus
of winter left to contend with.
A nice pile of wood was sawed up
at Johnson’s Wednesday, which is
quite a relief to Mrs. Johnson, who
generally had to wield the ax when she
wanted to burn wood.
The community truck, on coming
home from town with a load of feed,
Wednesday, enjoyed the privilege of
getting stuck in the snow on the main
road west of the cemetery and was
kindly assisted by a neighbor who
pulled it out with a team.
Charlie Kuler, living over on the
south side of the Niobrara river, had
a severe fall from the wagon in which
he was riding Wednesday of last week,
injuring his back and had to be car
ried to the house and is recovering
very slowly. PerryBarnes, who lives
near him, brought the news over. Ray
Aldridge, a brother-in-law of Mr.
Kuler, returned with Barnes to assist
the Kulers, who were moving at the
time. It seems the accident happened
in turning a comer. The wagon skid
ded from under him tripping him over
the low side of the box.
Another accident happened to our
neighbor, Greenwood the other day in
which it was more luck than manage
ment that he got out of it as well as
he did. On coming down to Johnson’s
horseback to help saw wood the horse
was suddenly startled by the report of
a gun shot by a neighbor who was out
hunting. The horse got so scared it
strated to buck and run, pitching
Greenwood ofF onto the hard ground
knocking the wind out of him for a
while. The horse was caught and Mr.
Greenwood proceeded on his way, but
on reaching his destination was unable
to work. Being red headed and of Irish
stock he was not laid up though, but
has been able to do his work right
along. The horse is for sale cheap.
Johnson had quite a disappoint
ment Saturday. It being a nice day
one could be out and work with the
coat ofF. Johnson has been dreaming
about the manufacturing of a snow
plow for several years and decided
that Saturday would be the proper
day to make it, so went ahead and by
night had the real thing made, but
while he wras working the snow was
thawing and by night there was no
snow to plow, it was about finished
too. Looking for sympathy in town
Wednesday, in this peculiar disap
pointment, he was assured by Mr.
Whistler that there would be plenty
snow yet in which to try it out in. In
the meantime it will stand as a threat
ening menace to deep snow and bad
roads.
