Freak's of nature are to ha pitied by all persons not entirely devoid of human feeling'. Some of course are located differently from others and dillerent decrees of se verity are manifest. 'There is the de formaties of the hotly that may afflict one person with a weak or misprepor- tioned back, others there are whose arms, legs or hands mid lingers are hor- ril ly c rocked and unsightly. Some poor ui f rtnnatesare 1 1'nd and others deaf hut these are all disutilities of the body and are not to be compared with the nat ural or acqnired defects of the mind. When we see a person with such an unfortunate mental deformity that they are unable to tell the truth even when it would !e to their own best interests to do so ay! cannot even discern the truth when it is plainly presented, we can only gaze in wonder a), natures curious de formity wh'le our synipnhetc feeling,, nr. lio'.vcd imd meekly extended to one so greatly ulllicted. We have in our mind's eye a certain Jiidge(?) who is ro alllicted ar.d from the massiveness of his dist ase we are led to 1 1 l ove thnt, it must lie of h iri J t try or igin such an exalted degree of perfection us he seems to possess could hardly have bejrn acquired in the short space of 40 or 50 years. Poor Judge: our heartfelt sympathy is extended to one upon whom nature has lavished affliction with such unmerciful abundance. What must it be f 3 through life endowed with this malady? To think that when he would ppeak the truth and really tries to do so, only the opposite comes forth and is scattered broadcast to wound the poor sufferers feelings and those of spmpathetic friends who are as powerless as he to prevent thin' mental deformity. I oes that same seemingly unkind na ture endow a disposition to enjoy the fruits of his own unfortunateness? f not, then to what d ptii of despondency must the poor sulfert-r be precip'tited, pro vided their feelings are of the same line quality as others. Of course no one be lieves anything such a person may say, and they do not expect it, but friends sii'mld look with pity and not scorn up on t-ie sulfvrer of natures pecu iar.ty. Compliment of "tt'etsJ Wrastlnr' ou Sioux Comity, Nebraska. Sioux county, Nebraska, seems far away But the people are coming and com ing to stay. Of its fertility we all well know It could beat the world at any show, its offers to the people cannot be surpass ed. In all this world while time does last. And all the free homes it gives the poor. The chances are good to keep the wolf from the door.. Tut ah, of the sin disgrace and shame.

As we have not noticed any items in your valuable paper from this precinct we will write a few. Weather nice crops good. Leeling Bros, threshed 300 bushels of oats from 8 acres and 34 bushels of wheat from one and a half acres. Paul Leeling says he does not see why spme nice young lady does not fall in love with him; he is awful sweet now-a-days.' Leeling Bros, have made about 000 gallons of molasses and are still grinding away. ' We agree with "Moses" of Clare. "Join Barker, Walker & Co., and put down the ring." A road running through this part of the county, (petitioned for last year) was surveyed last Friday. Ned Andrews has as fine a looking bin of oats as you would wish to look at. Then say Sioux county is not loming. Verily she boonieth; with Harrison for the county seat, in which there is busi ness enterprise of every description, even to two rings. One is called the Mud ring while the other comes without call ing, nut we tlnnlf it is ol a scaly nature. PEOPLE'S OOXVEMTOS. Oct. 23rd, Vm. Meeting called to order by John Plun kett, Thos.
