The Juik.vaa desires to collect data relating to the acreage of crop put in i Sioux county in 191, aQd will toke it as a favor if the farmers will send to this office a statement of the crop they lave put in, such report showing the number 'f acre of each kind of grain, vegeta ns, corn, etc., planted.' No matter how small an acreage you liave, a report is desired. To the farmer who has the largest acre-age of crop we will send The Joui N.u.Vce for one year, and to the farmer having the second largest acreage of crop we will send The Jotrnal five for six months. All reMrts must be in on or before July 1, 191, and the comparison will be made at that date, so that reports sent in later than that would lie barred. We will also be pleased to recei ve re orts fi-om farmers from all parts of the county from time to time as to the con dition of tlie growing crops. WAXTED-IIorses to pasture at my farm in Wnrlxinm-l precinct. Good grass anil water, T. O. Williams. A boy, fourteen years old, who had come direct from Germany, arrived on the train from the east Monday morning, lie has friends living near Montrose. On last Sunday W. E. Moore cap tured a young gray wolf near J. W. Ernest's place south of town. Gray wolves kill a good deal of stock in that locality, and Mr. Ernest will try to lo cate tlie den and clean out tlie pack. It is reported that some Chadronites came up to Andrews a few days ago to lish and captured a numlier of speckled trout, some of which were a foot long, Tim trout were planted in White river alsiiit four years ago. That is a good pointer for the farmers who have good xations for fish ponds. Bishop Graves and Rev. Bates will be at Harrison ou Wednesday, June ikl, and will hold Episcopal services that evening, iliose wno heard Bishop Graves on his former visit will not fail to hear him again, and those who did not hear him should not miss this opportu nity. Tlie time given by the county com missioners to the ex-county offlcialsnvho were found short by the expert account ant in which to pay up, expired on last Saturday, and as none of them have li quidated, County Attorney Conley is at work getting up the papers and will lie gin action against the delinquents and their bondsmen to recover the amounts duo to the county. There will be eight cases. An important business deal was made a few days ago, Griswold & Marsteller becoming owners of the general stock of merchandise of W. It. Smith & Son, who will retire from business. Tlie stock will lie moved to the building now oc cupied by the purchasers, and the busi ness will be conducted in connection will) the hardware. Wo do not know what Smith & Son contemplate doing. We are informed that B. B. Bixhy is fitting up a pond which he intends to stock with fish. There are a large num ber of places along the numerous streams in Sioux county where fine fish (Kinds could be made with very little trouble and expenso, and we hope it will not lie long until the farmers will take a lively interest in getting a supply or fish growing in the waters in the county. A good deal of trouble has been ex perienced during the past few months in regard to the cutting of timber on gov ernment land along White river. It is staled that over one hundred cases have been reported and a number of arrests have been made and the prisoners and witnesses taken to Omaha and after de lays and continuances the men have been discharged, or at least there havo been no convictions secured so far. It is ad mitted by all that a good deal of govern ment timber has been cut, but the great er nart, if not all of it lias been useu ror the erection of of buildings on the land or in the towns in the immediate vicinity where the limber grew. The worst fea ture of the prosecutions is that the men arrested and the witnesses are taken to Omaha and put to a great deal of trou ble and expense, and when no one is con victed it looks like a great farce. If there are complaints let the men ar rested lie taken before a United Slates court commissioner and have a hearing to see if the evidence will justify taking him to court. It would certainly be a great saving to these interested and also in court costs, und ho long as the lumber is used in the vicinity where it grew, ,m.s improves the country, Uncle jSt.m ought not to kick very hard. We have yet to learn of any one wno nas got rich in the business in this part of tlie country. ine authorities of Chadron have been figuring on putting in an extensive gravity system of water works and N. W. Chapman, chief surveyor of the F. E. & M. V., did the surveying and in his report says "I have estimated no freight charge as it has been intimated to me that it will all be free." That shows that the railroand is in favor of assisting to uuild up the towns on its line. If the village of Harrison should take the mat ter of water works up it is not improba ble that the railroad would deal liberally with it in the work. The additional train service to lie put on may make it desirable to have a water tank at tin's place, and at all events the company would appreciate the water for protec tion to its buildings and for use in the stock yards. The village board would do well to investigate the matter. ; We notice that in other counties steps are already liemg taken to get up an exhibit for the state fair. Last year was a set-back for western Nebraska and nothing will do more to regain the con fidence of people in the east than for the western portion of the state to make a large and varied exhibition of the pro duets of 1891 at the state fair. Sioux county has a log house on the state fair grounds and the proper thing to do is for the people to prepare to enlarge and im prove it and fill it with the products of Sioux county. It is to be hoped that tlie farmers will take hold of the matter at once. If each will devote a little time and trouble a grand exhibit can be made and it will help secure new settlers and thus improve the country. The more thickly the country is settled the more valuable the land will be, so that it is to the interest of every real estate owner to work to get more people here. In another column appears a notice in which.'lhe county superintendent calls a meeting of school district ollicers to be held at the court house on Saturday, June 13th. Tiie legislature last winter passed a law making it tlie duty of the school districts to make contracts for text books for use in the schools. The law provides that school districts shall contract with publishers, such publish ers having first filed a bond with the stale superintendent, and also a sworn list of the lowest prices at which books are furnished by said publishers any wherein the United States. The text book question is one which has hcetj bothering educators and school boards for years and while the wisdom of the law as it now stands is questionable, still it has to be complied with, and an ef fort should le made by school district officers to do the best they can. One re deeming feature of the law Is that it gives all children, no matter how poor, tlie onoorlunav of using tlie books, so that none will need to grow up in igno rance because they have no books. In other counties annual meetings of school district officers are held and the re sults are beneficial in school work and we hope to see the schools of Sioux county keep fully abreast of tlie times, PERSONAL. J. W. Ernest spent Sunday down the road. Octave Harris was in town the first of the week. G. E. Lunsford was in liarrison on Saturday. J. W. Langdon was down from Vor- hees on Sunday.

That's right, go to work and stop your kicking the grangers. OltSEIiVER. Important to School Office. The new law relating to school districts furnishing text books, makes it neces sary that the matter have proper con sideration, and for this purpose a meet ing of the school district ollicers of Sioux county will be held at the court house at Harrison, on June 18, 1H1. It is urged that every school district be represented at the meeting. A. SorniwoRTH, Co. riupt, No other preparation so meets the wants Of a debilitated system as Ayer's Sarsaoarilla. L.
