Z. McIIugh of Murdock and has
ted here a number of times,
randfather Schweepe is still very
at the home east of town where
ite careful nursing and good
ical attention which he had been
j h iving . he still remains in m'ch the
i'LCe condition and with no great
I improvement, .-. It is the hope of his
;ma ijr friends that he may soon be
bti'er, V-
i iUbert .Thiele who is one of the
; rapid, and excellent corn pickers com
pleted his fall work in that line last
i week, having nicked for eight suc
cessive weeks and garnered during
the time some 5,000 bushels of the
' golden ears or white ones, for his
j father and other farmers of this
j neighborhood. Albert surely is a
'rustler when it comes to work.
'The Renn Brothers Merrymakers
gave a dance at Murdock last week
'and furnished some of the most ex-
cellent music of which they are cap
i able. But when they started for
; home their car turned east when they
! struck the state highway and carried
them nearly to Murray before they
could head the animal off and this
made their arrival at Lincoln a little
tardy.
A, letter from Max Dusterhoff and
Jqtf!: Wutchinek who are making the
overland trip from Murdock to Long
view, Washington, have written from
Fort "Worth, Texas, telling of them
having found lots of muddy roads
and much rain but by listening to
the advice of friends they missed the
big blizzard which struck the state
of New Mexico, fhey going via El
Paso and getting south of the storm
and its effects. !
