I lie iv hool board lias decided to
charge non-resident pupils one dollar per
term or three dollars for the school year.
That is a reasonable rate and no one
should ohjeij, to paying that sum.
Most people have been busy of late get
ting up a Mipply of wood for winter. In
most places in Nebraska fuel costs some
thing more tlian the labor of getting. In
this Sioux county has an advantage.
The road up Sowbelly creek is said
to be almost impassable on account of
the condition of the bridges. Some re
pail's should lie made as soon as possible
as that is one of the main travelled
roads into town.
--A new windmill arrived for Fred
Betschen last week and will soon be at
work bringing water to tlie surface.
Improvements are going right along
among the farmers, and w hen the farm
ers prosper everyone else does likewise.
le removal of Mrs. Davis made a
vacancy in the Grammercy postolliee,
but it has been arranged for S. M.
Thomas to take charge of it and steps
are being taken to have him appointed
postmaster at that place. The ollice is
quite a convenience to the settlers of
that locality,
II. A. Priddy has purchased the
blacksmith business of W. E. Moore and
will conduct the business in the future.
Mr. Priddy is a blacksmith of experience
and will give his customers good work.
It is not known wliat Mr. Moore will do,
but he will remain here and is not apt to
long remain idle.
The indications are that as much
snow will fall this winter as there did a
year ago and that means good crops next i
year. Northwest Nebraska lias passed
through the hard times incident to the
settlement thereof and prosierity now,
smiles upon those wlio have withstood:
the hardshis of the past.
There is some kicking among the
farmers because they cannot liud as;
ready a market or got as good prices for
what they have to sell as they did in the
old settled localities from whence they j
came. Tliey must remember that this is
a new country, and the land on which
the produce was raised is not yet so val
uable as that in the east. All such mat-'
ters will adjust themselves in time. :
Messrs. Uetschen, Cammenzind and
Liverniore received a new fanning mill a
few days ago and will as a consequence
have clean wheat to sell and seed grain
fine from foul seeds which would injure
the next crop. If tho farmers will take
care of the land when it is new it will
save them a great deal of labor in future
years. A farm once seeded with weeds,
requirex much care to get rid of them.
R. Mather, of l.tenison, Ioa, was
here the first of the week looking after
his real, estate interests and made ft
pleasant call at this ollice. Mr. Mather
is a member of the real estate linn of
Matlier & Gravilk which has a vast
amount of real estate for sale in Iowa,
Kansas, Nebraska and South Dakota and
is interested in the development of north
west Nubraska and will do some mission
ary work for this part of the state, Ho
believes there U a bright future for
.Sioux county and ople will do well to
secure a piece of free government Ian.;

N-Thk Joi knal is informed that two
weddings will occur in this vicinity to-
uay out tlie record in the cases is not
yet on file, so the names of tlie parties
are withheld. Best wishes are extended
to the young fieople for a happy married
lire.
II. A. Priddy informs us that he re
ceived word from his father-in-law a few
days ago to the effect that he would be
out to locate in Sioux county in the
spring. The tide has set in and there
will lie lots of new settlers in this local
ity in the near future. Keep right on
telling them to come.
L. K. Maine was sitting at bis
fireside a few evenings ago when some
thing Cl-aslied thmilL'h a winilnnr TTo
and his family were somewhat startled
and investigation disclosed the fact that
a bullet had pierced the glass. As no
report was heard it was surmised that it
was the result of a combination of a boy
and nigger-shooter.
fue article on the third page taken
from the Youth's Companion is well
worth a careful reading. It illustrate:
the Tact that no great enterprise can be
brought to success in a day or without
meeting with difficulties and oftimes ri
dicule. It tikes time, patience and en
ergy to accomplish anything of import
ance. It would be a good plan for the
board of trustees to consider the exten
sion of the water system. A reservoir
could lie built and pipes laid so as to pro
tect the entire village in case
of fire and enable people to sprinkle their
lawns and gardens with but little ex
pense and then those who use the water
could pay lor it and taxes would be no
higher. It would certainly be a benefit
to the town and might lie the means of
saving a good deal of property, for as it
is at present should a fire break out in
one of the rows of frame buildings there,
would lie no chance of saving any of
them.
A gigantic irrigation scheme is on
foot in Wyoming. A company has been
organized with a large capital to open a
ditch near Bessemer on the Platte and
follow the divide from there to the
state lino lietween Wyoming and Nebras
ka. The ditch will he about 200 miles in
length and will make it possible to water
a vast amount of land. It will be an
easy matter to continue me uir.cn
through Sioux county right along the
idge north of Ilarrison and would make
t so that all the land on this table could
be irrigated therefrom. It matters not
iow much rain falls it is a good plan to
iave the the water so it can be used if
needed, j lie -ueveiopnieiii oi me um-ii
would greatly enhance the value of all
the land in this community.
All over the state the work of pre
paring lor tne exnion ai ine wonu s iau
Is going on. it is time inai oioux
county began to get in line in the mat
ter. There is no better channel through
which such work can be done than a
county agricultural society. With such
an organization a county fair can be held
which would lie a source of benefit to the
people of the county in a number of
ways. The exhibit lor the state lair
could be arranged for by the same or
ganization at a less expense and with
better results than is possible by individ
ual elforts and the exhibit for the world's
fair could be collected and put in shape
under tlie control of an agricultural so-

The officers of such an organization are
held responsible for their acts and that
is one of the most important points.
Let us have an agricultural society by
all means.

is a grade up which loads can be hauled
without difliculty. There is a little rock
work that will have to bo done, other
wise the expense will lie very small. It
A-ill le necessary for a contribution to be
.,o,io ..c'I'rav the expense, as there is
no public money to be used for such pur
pose. W. R. Smith is taking an active
interest in the matter and will do all he
can to see it put through. The road
would prove a great lieneflt to the busi
ness interests of Harrison and the effort
to get it fixed up should receive the sup
port of everyone interested in the ad
vancement of the iiw,n. Now is the
test time of the year to got it started as
