About The frontier. (O'Neill City, Holt County, Neb.) 1880-1965 | View Entire Issue (Feb. 14, 1935)
Over the County SOUTHWEST BREEZES Sheriff Duffy made an official and social call in this section of the empire of Holt, Friday last. Ac knowledgement of the social call at the home of the writer of these lines is made, though at the time he was out where the cattle were browsing for what is left of last year’s dry grass. Come again, Pete. The Frontier of recent date tells of the big things of Holt county origin. It was rather too bad that at the head of the same column was the story of the magnanimous ac tion of the pension board author izing a few pensions in the mag nficient sum of $2 a month each. Why add insult to the sweating, groaning, harassed, worried, per plexed and well nigh despairing element of the population, who would probably just as soon have chloroform administered and be done with it. But few cattle losses are heard of in this section because of lack of feed. The open winter has made grazing possible practically all along, conserving greatly on hay. During the early fall there was enough hay hauled out of the com munity to take care of the needs of the rest of the county. Most of this went into the barren regions south of this county. Everything was put to the mower last year and it has been found that "stuff” which in other seasons was regard ed as not fit for hay makes very good feed. The source of the rumor has not been disclosed, but that deficiency need not be allowed to spoil a good story. A suggestion is that it came about by a passing stranger get ting a glimpse of our respected neighbor and erstwhile honorable member of the county board, Jesse James, starting a report that the Hon. Franklin D. had given it up as a bad job at Washington, come to southwest Holt county and ar rayed himself in the suits and trap pings of the cow man, and was trying ranching. Should it come to the president’s ears that his proto type is out here in Swan precinct, Holt county’s fame will have reach ed the pinnacle. In the sub-zero weather during the latter part of January Pat Kenedy sustained, the loss of an 8-months old calf in an unusual way. The legs of the calf froze from the hoofs up to the knees. The only alternative appearing to Mr. Kennedy was to knock it in the head. The farm census got under way in Swan last week. The enumer ator, Mr. Dierks, has several pre cincts to cover. The questions pro pounded are practically the same as the assessor has each spring and the desired information could all be obtained by, ierence to that functionary’s schedules. The only difference is one set of questions is for the status of things as of Jan. 1, and the other of April 1. R. S. Emmet School Notes Fay Sesler, Reporter Intermediate Room The Seventh and Eighth grades received invitations from the Fifth and Sixth grades to a birtday party which they are giving Thursday. Jimmie Bridges visited at the school Monday afternoon. The Fifth and Sixth grades are studying France for geography. They are bringing things that are made there. Since Tuesday was Lincoln’s birthday, we made Lincoln posters. It was moved and seconded at our last club meeting that we should have a dragon on the black board before us, to try to kill. This week our dragon is “Courtesy de mands Attention.” High School Room The Seventh and Eighth grades were very disappointed when their teacher sealed their answers shut in their arithmetic book.
