Foley's Honey ard Tar is an old and reliable family medi cine and frees children from couch s. col us, croup and whooping couL'h. Par ents msy save trouble by giving be fore sciiuol opens. Fold everywhere. Pr. and Mrs. Dio Lewis spent Sun day last with the:1 relatives, Mr. and Mrs. D. II. Wheeler.

We sincerely hope that he may be benefited.

"Thatch" and Connor used to make a lively team on a Sat urday afternoon on Main street, but sinc-3 Connor has pot married he has become so pood-natured and pious that "Thatch" says he can't pet a "cuss" out of him. and there"s no fun left buying grain any more. If it wasn't for Billy Darrah he'd go back to Hast ings at once. We did hear that Con nor had joined the church and was going to preach soon on the wicked ness of "corners and sich."

FOR SURE THERE ARE FINE PEACHES IN CASS COUNTY From Wednesday's Tal!v. Those who do not behove that Ne braska is some peach country should call and pare into the show window of the Journal, where Harry Smith has on display two of the biggest and finest-looking peaches that can be found anywhere in the whole country, even in the heart of the great peach prowinp section. These peaches are grown on a tree at the farm of Mr. Smith rear the poor farm and are of the celebrated "Champion" variety, and their very appearance is enough to make the mouth cf the lover of this lucious fruit vater and Mr. Smith can certainly claim the prize for peaches in Nebraska this year. lie will have these peaches on exhibit at the state fair as showing what Nebraska can do when she tries. Three Groves Ed. Herald: I think at the Three Groves' Reporter has pone back on the Letter Box somehow or other, or the readers of the Herald will nrobablv think so bv his not writing rcpularly, so I thought that a few lines from this part would cheer them up once more. Last Thursday evening the people of this neighbor hood and vicinity had a grand festi val at the brick school hou?3 for the purpose of raising funds to be do rated to the Rev. Hull of this circuit. By the kindness of friends I was in vited to attend, and of course went. Arriving at the school house pretty early we had a chance to note all the proceedings. First thing of any im portance to be noticed was the com mittee; they were busy preparing the tables and emptying out the well-fill-rd basket which had previously ar rive!, and spreading their contents 'hereon. From the locks of the pood eatables that were placed before us, such as pies, cakes, chickens, turkeys, oysers. peacr.es and other thinps too nume-ous to mention, we s.hould judge that the people of this place were not t-fasshoppe? ed very mad last year, and always have plenty to eat. After supp-;" war over an hour was spent in auctioning off a few large handsome cakes, which sold to the hiphest bid der, brinpinp a neat sum, and the pur chaser beinp none the worse off. By this time the postoffice was opened, Mr. Isaac Corea action as posimaster; it was very interesting for the younp ladies and pontlemen to receive letters from their sweethearts by paying 10 cents postage, and then find nothing ;n them only a blank sheet of paper or pretty near it. The attendance was not as large as expected on account of bad roads, rainy and disagreeable weather. Receipts of the evening were announced at S30.60, which, af ter expenses are paid, will be present ed to Mr. Hull for his future wants. Durell, the man who was taken to the asylum from South Bend last year and afterward released to visit with friends, was returned from Maine on Saturday worse than ever. It took two men to hold him and his hands were lacerated fearfully. An unknown party attempted to pain an entrance into 3Ir. Fitzperald's house last Tuesday night, but Mrs. Fitzgerald being awakened by the barking of the dops, asked who was there, and finally called Uncle Denny, when the man took his leave, going down Vine street. Cr iTO EXCELLENT? One train on the C. B. & Q. had 345 passengers bound for Nebraska, and the other eastern roads are bringing them in equally fast. It wont be "meuless lands" long at that rate. The telegraph dispatches announce the appointment of Hon. W. F. Robb of Otoe county as United States col lector of revenue for Nebraska, in p'ace of II. A. Newman, removed. J. W. Barnes and George Fairfield are busy assessing the town and this part of the county, nowadaj's. They make a pood team for the business and we think will make as fair assess ment as we have had lately. Pottenper was lying half asleep on the office lounge the other day when Sara Chapman got a younp bootblack to commence operations on one foot; before he eould fairly open out, how- Fi om Three Groves. Warm weath cr has again made its appearance, in dicatinp the annual return of that in viporatinp and reiresning season when the cold and snowy robes of win ter are laid aside for the freshness and beauty of spring. But though the summer-like weather is beautiful at present, a snow storm, accompanied with a northwester may break the stillness at any time without a mom ent's warning. The Odd Fellows of Rock Bluffs pave a grand supper at Mr. L. H Young's on Tuesday night last. The repast was excellent and the table was bountifully supplied with the best of the season. The attendance wa not as large as could have been expected for such an occasion. We noticed too, that some of the members were very neglipent in attending; in fact a number oi tne memoers were not present at all. Notwithstanding this, plenty to eat, and fun seemed to be the order of the evening with those present, and the time was well spent by all. We understand that Uncle Jimmy Chalfant had an arm broken a few days ago. Haven't heard how it was done as yet. Dick Oldham returned from the west on Friday last. Edward Wiley is happy now. One more to be added to the census. They say it's a boy. The Rock Bluffs school closes this week. Miss Joanna Young returned Sun y from a short visit in Weeping Water. Quite a number of cattle have been sold in the last two or three weeks. More remain unsold. Considerable sickness throughout the neighborhood; principally bad colds and sore throats. Some few farmers plowing and sow ing wheat. The amount of wheat sown this year will be as large as in former seasons.
