Mrs. R. Syverson, of Madison, South
Dakota, stopped in the city last Sun
day and spent the day visiting their

efficient and accommodating clerk at
the J. C. Penney store. The folks
from South Dakota were on their way
to Denver for a visit with relatives
and friends.
The state legislature adjourned last
Tuesday night after the longest session
in the history of the state, and not a
great deal accomplished. One of the
last acts of the session was the pas
sage of a bill extending the
time for the payment of real estate
taxes for 1932 from May 1st to July
1, 1933. Appropriations were cut
about four million below that of the
session of two years ago, which may
help some, providing the officers of
the state do not create deficiencies in
the several departments, as has been
done on former occasions.
J. J. Schweitzer came up from Mil
ford last Saturday for a few days visit
here with old-time friends. He leaves

accompanied back by Mrs. Schweitzer,
who had been visiting her mother, Mrs.
Mary Allen and other relaitves here
for the past two weeks. Mr. Schweit
zer was a resident of this county for
many years, and for several years ran
a blacksmith shop on the O’Neill
Spencer highway about twelve miles
north of this city. He moved to Mil
ford about twenty years ago and has
made his home in that city since. Jake
says that the old timers are getting
very scarce in this section and, when
twenty years ago, he knew about
every one in the city, now there are
but few familiar faces and he feels
like a total stranger in his “old home
town.”
Ezra Moore, one of the pioneer resi
dents of Inman township, was trans
acting business in this city last Wed
nesday. Mr. Moore has been a resi
dent of the county for fifty-two years
and says that Holt county looks a
lot better to him than a lot of other
sections that he has visited. They had
a splendid rain in his section Tuseday
night, the rainfall amounting to an
inch and a half at his place and he
says that crop conditions were never
brighter in that section than they are
today.
Mr. and Mrs. William Barnard, of
Casper, Wyoming, stopped in the city
Sunday afternoon for a short visit
with Mr. Barnard’s sister, Mrs. C. U.
Yantzi and family, while on their
way home from a business trip
to Chicago. Mr. Barnard grew to man
hood in this city, attended Creighton
university*, graduated and was ad
mitted to the practice of law. Short
ly after his admission he moved to
Wyoming where he has made his home
for the past dozen or more years and
has been very successful in business
there. They left for their Wyoming
home Tuesday morning.

thirteen seventeenths per cent, Atkin
son Public School.

Although Holt county was a little
short on the Free High School tuition
fund in February when it should have
been paid, taxes have been coming
in nicely the past two months and we
believe wre will be able to pay all ap
plications for Free High School tui
tion by the time schools close. This
is the first year that Holt county has
ever had to pro-rate this fund. A
number of other counties have done
so for several years.
Now is the time for High School
students to make application for next
year’s high school tuition. These ap
plication cards must be sent to the
County Superintendent before July 1st.
Tne NeDrasKa state university is
offering a very practical course for
rural teachers this summer in the line
of demonstration teaching in rural
schools. Under the direction of the
Department of Elementary Education
a rural school room will be available
for observation purposes. There will
be children enrolled in grades one to
eight under the direction of a com
petent teacher, experienced in hand
ling problems in the rural school. The
room will be typical of the average
school. Interesting phases of the work
will be considered, such as, the en
richment of the curriculum for the
rural child, the handling of individual
differences, first hand materials which
may be utilized in planning learning
activities, etc. The entire “set up”
will offer valuable ideas for the teach
er or supervisor who is interested in
rural school work.
Very cheap lour Kates to tne
World’s Fair in Chicago are being
sent to this office. Teachers planning
any vacation trip at all could not do
better than to join one of these di
rected tours. Such a trip would be
very educal.onal and would cost less
than a term in summer school. Di
rected by a competent guide one gets
much more out of such a trip. When
trying to make such a trip without a
guide one often misses the most worth
while features.
We have a report from District 181
that their Knighthood of Youth Club
has completed a scrapbook which they

for their school room.
School District 120 report that they
have hired LeRoy Holcomb as teacher
in their school for the coming year.
The Rural School Legal Dlunks for
the Annual School Meeting are ready
for distribution. We would appre
ciate it if each Director or some mem
ber of the school board could call at
the office for them, in an effort to save

Rural Sociology Class at St. Mary’s
Academy.
The various phases and factors of
County Agent’s work were touched on

the importance of farm accounting
and improvements to be gained there
by. He also discussed the benefits of
4-H Clubs and the enjoyment of club

a good deal of moisture during the
past thirteen days. We have had a
little rain ten days out of the thirtee:,
the rainfallinthethirteendays amount
ing to 2.69 inches. North and east of
O’Neill, as well as southeast the rain
fall was a good deal heavier than it
was here so that the ground is now
in splendid condition and with a little
warm weather things will grow very
rapidly.
Harry Leonard, of Parker, South
Dakota, was in the city the first of
the week visiting old time friends. Mr.
Leonard many years ago lived east of
Chambers and during the Spanish
American war served his country as
a member of Company M, Third Ne
braska, which wa3 organized in this

in touch with former members of the
company, but only succeeded in meet
ing two of them, Otto Clevish and
Dr. Jim Brown. Lee Hershiser, liv
ing south of Emmet, also served in
this company, but did not happen to
be in town that day. Mr. Leonard has
been a resident of South Dakota prac
tically ever since he was mustered out
of the service.

Judge Dickson presided as toast
master and after the demands of the
inner man had been satisfied he called
upon all the visiting members of the
bar for any remarks they might feel
called upon to make on the departure
of their former fellow member to the
position of responsibility and honor
that he had been called upon to fill.
All the members of the bar present
responded, and while the remarks were
extemporaneous, many gems were de
livered by the members present on
the qualifications and ability of Judge
Donohoe. In responding Judge Dono
hoe feelingly acknowledged the in
debtedness he owed the attorneys of
this section of the state for their
kindly mention of him and his efforts
while a member of the bar of this
district and said that he would ever
hold in grateful remembrance the
many happy hours spent in the courts
of this section of the state, with the
friends of his early life as a member
of the bar.
The daily press the latter part of
last week announced that M. H. Mc
Carthy had been recommended for act
ing postmaster at O’Neill and Arthur
Miller as acting postmaster at Atkin
son. The term of Postmaster H. D.
Grady, of this city, expired last De
cember and Mr. McCarthy was to be
appointed and will probably take
charge of the office some time this
month, or the first of the coming
month. The postmaster at Atkinson
resigned about a week ago, thus leav
ing a vacancy there and this will be
filled by the appointment of Arthur
Miller. They were both recommended
Sy Congressman Howard and National
Committeeman Arthur Mullen.
Ben Harty last week moved his
laundry, tailor shop and dry cleaning
plant to the Zimmerman building on
east Douglas street. A substantial ad

and he now has one of the best equip
ped laundry and dry cleaning plants
in this section of the state.
Thomas Brennan will open his new
grocery store, in his own building on
Fourth street, tomorrow morning, just
fifty-nine years to the day that his
father, the late Col Neil Brennan,
came to O’Neill. Col. Brennan came
to O’Neill on May 12, 1874, and short
ly after his arrival here entered busi
ness and was one of the leading busi
ness men of this section of the state
for over forty-one years, up to the
time of his death in August, 1915.
Thomas is the youngest son and The
Frontier wishes for him as long and
successful a business career here as
that of his father.
