When You and I Were Young —. Mock Holdup of Dr. Berry Gcd Joke, but Persistency Might Lead to Procession 57 YEARS AGO September 24. 1SS1 The fair is in progreas this week In the matter of at tendance the fair is not a howl ing success. The weather has not been good, and this prob ably accounts for the fact that the' grounds are not crowded. The agricultural exhibit, while not in large quantities, are first-class and the floral hall is full of fancy work and at tractive displays. Mr Brett, who talks of erect ing a 50 barrel flouring mill tn O’Neill, has concluded to accept a bonus of $1,000 and grounds, and the committee having the matter in charge is finishing up its work The gen tleman will be given a guar anty that almost every citizen in O’Neill will buy his flour, and if everything is satisfac torily arranged O’Neill will have a mill long before snow flies. Hurrah for O’Neill! T. V. Golden has been ap pointed by the board oi super visors to fill the chair made vacant by the resignation of Sanford Parker. Mr. Golden was formerly an active mem ber of the board, and can be relied upon to properly attend to the business of the office. W. A. Selden, an experienc ed tailor late of Long Pine and formerly of Chadron, has pur chased H. Shroer’s tailor shop and will put in a good stock of suitings. The Frontier wel comes Mr. Selden to town and wishes him success. 47 YLARS AGO September 28. 1901 H. H. Reed, who for the past two months has been in this city looking after the inter ests of the Fremont Brewing Co., left last week for Stuart where he will take charge of Hansen’s saloon. Harry is a straight forward, good natured, whole-souled fellow with many friends in O’Neill who will wish him well no matter where he doffs his hat. Dr. Berry and Frank Hop kins war* held up last Sun day night, near the Gra ham farm about seven miles northwest of O'Neill. The vandals relieved the doctor of a watch and 110 or S15 in coin of the realm, entire ly ignoring Hopkins. Since the commission of ihe offense it has developed that the whole deal was a put-up job and the prepatrntors of the joke are three leading young men of Shields township. Jokes are alright in their way and when used in the right place, but jokes of this kind and character are entirely out of {dace and if persisted it may ead in a procession in which the would-be perpetrators would occupy the front end of • a procession. Cut it out boys. It’s the safest. While raking hay last Fri day Thomas Cain was kicked by a horse and suffered a frac ture of the left leg, just below the knee Dr. Gilligan set the broken limb and the patient ; is getting along nicely. 17 YEARS AGO September 27, 1931 Andrew Johnson and son, Sewell, returned home from a trip to LeMars, la,., where Mr. Johnson has a farm on which he was repairing the buildings. He says that the corn doesn’t amount to much; this is the second crop failure in 60 years in that part of Iowa, and as j one travels westward from here the crop condition be comes worse. Corn has gotten about two feet high and then dried up. He says that it does n't seem possible that those people can live through the coming winter unless they re ceive aid. Oscar Nile Hendricks, aged 58 years, passed away at the; Stuart hospital Monday eve ning, at 10 o’clock, September 21; he had been a patient suf ferer from cancer of the throat for about a year; he spent (some time at the Mayo clinic i at Rochester, Minn., and made several trips there for treat ment, but failed to get perm anent relief; for the past few weeks he had been confined in the Stuart hospital.

GILLESPIE'S 1 "Home Appliance Headquarters" — O'NEILL — Letter to the Editor Butte, Mont , Sept. 16, 1948 Dear Mr. Stewart: Enclosed please find check for three bucks for The Fron tier for one year. I thought I’d get down to O’Neill before now but some thing always blocked the way, so I’m sending you a check. I may see you later this Fall. 1 would love to get down for the pheasant season and may dofthat yet. I love to read Romaine Saunders' red sunsets and hisi descriptions of nature in gen eral. His political views are I a little too oblique. We’re all living in the same period and we’re looking, too. The two chickens in every pot never I materialized. I like fair play in every thing, from spitting. at a mark to manslaughter. Don’t get me j wrong, now. I like Saunders as well.as any one I’ve ever met. I visited him out at his farm home, southwest of O’- i Neill, with Mike Horiskey, Tom Griffin and Mike Kirwin. We enjoyed the visit with him and his wife, whom I remember as a schoolmate. I wish, though, that he’d give us more of that nature stuff and less politics. I also like Mary Devine’s column. It turns back the pages of time and brings to one’s mind what some one once said about “age, being not too heavy a burden to carry in payment for having once been young,’ Hoping to see you some time (this Fall, 1 remain as ever, “Montana” Jack Sullivan, 23 E Broadway, Butte.

DANCE Summerland j E-W-I-N-G Sunday, Oct. 3 Music by Harry Collins and His Orchestra $50 Fine! I Nebraska law provides that a minor is subject to a fine up to $50 for misrepresenting his or her age for the purpose of purchasing alcohol beverages. The latest in a series of posters calling attention to this law, furnished gratis by the Nebras ka Division, U. S. Brewers Foundation, is now in the hands of every beer retailer. This poster, headed “$50 Fine!”, is designed to help re tailers prevent under-age per sons from procuring or con suming beer. Virtually all Nebraska beer re tailers want 100 percent ob servance of*the “No Sales to Minors” law, and they wel come every aid to that end. “Sworn Statement of Age” blanks, also furnished free by the Nebraska Division, are used by many retailers with good results. These services to beer retailers —in the public interest—are a part of the brewing industry’s program of self-regulation, i Our aim is to have beer han dled in a manner deserving of full public approval.
