Many of the farmers report their crops
better this year than they were last.

reported that things in his locality were
lb excellent condition. His crops are

U-The reports are that the late wheat
is filling tne best ever known in the
Country. Many fields which a few weeks
fcgo did not promise anything have de
veloped so that a pretty fair return will
MWard the farmers. Some of the fields
Which were badly cut by hail will be
harvested.
XQuite a number have prepared ponds
for fish and others expect to do so before
another year. There is no reason why
there should not be many more ponds in
this county for there are a great many
places where ponds can be made with
no expense and very little work.
Do not fail to attend the meeting of
the agricultural society at the court
house on next Saturday. There is quite
t sum of money in the treasury and
there is no reason why the organisation

.veiy good reasons why it should. Ex

for the three years last past and a better

before and the money itr the treasury

ands of people preparing to seek loca

Agricultural Society Meeting.
A meeting of tlie people of Sioux
county will be held at the court bouse
in Harrison dn Saturday, August 12,
1893, at 1 o'clock, p. m., sharp, for per
fecting the organization of the county
agricultural society and to consider the
advisabilty of holding a county fair and
of making an exhibit at the state fair.
Every one Interested in such a move'
ment is urged to attend and help the
work along.

The harvest excursions will bring
many new people to this county if the
nroner effort is made to let them know
of dates and cheap rate offered. It is
every one s duty to help the work along.
A. It. Kennedy has gone to Dawes
county to get some cattle whic h he pur
chased recently. He wants to profit by
pasturing some of the government land
in his neighborhood until new settlers
want it for homesteads.
Bridgman has packed up his drugs
and gone out of the business. This
muittts u guuu ujieuiij lur n muu wnu is
legally qualified to handle drugs to put
in a stock here. There is no reason why
a good druggist with good drugs would
not do well here,
O. A. Garton informed us on Satur
day that he received a letter a few days
ago from his sister who resides in Buena
Vista county, Iowa, which stated that
the fruit crop there was a failure and
the oats would not yield more than
twenty bushels to the acre and would
not weigh more than twenty pounds to
the bushel, and but a very small part of
the wheat acreage would be cut at all.
The crop report of Illinois shows
that the wheat average of the state is
thirteen bushels per acre and in some
counties the quality is so poor that it is un
salable at any price. Pastures are short
on account of drouth and cattle have to
be fed now. When it is considered that
the land in that state rents for $7 per
acre cash, it is apparent that the farm
ers there are not getting rich very fast.
A good illustration of the way crops
go in streaks this year is a report from
Boone county. A field of one hundred
acres of wheat was eight inches high
and would yield five or six bushels per
acre; while a Small field close to it
would bind all right and yield well.
That is the way it is all over the coun
try. -On last Sunday The JoCbnal family
made a trip out on the table land east of ;
town. The improvements which have
been made by the Phillips boys, Henry
Covey and others has changed the ap
pearance of the locality a good deal and
when the other new settlers get their
houses up it will look like a pretty well
settled community.
The reports from the farmers on the
table land around town are that the
grain has filled as well or better than it
did last year. The hail and sourdock are
the worst things the crops have had to
contend with in this locality this season.
The farmer who will devise some practi
cal method of getting rid of that dock
will be a benefactor to the entire farm
ing community.
The railroads have arranged to run
three harvest excursions from the east
in order to allow people to come and see
what can be had in the west at a small
cost. Tbe excursion dates are August
33, September 12 and October 10. The
far will be one rate plus $2 fojth
round trip, good for twentydaysi Stop
over privileges, m-rifctvecl west of the.
MHtriTer within the limit. That
will give all who desire to visit this
country an opportunity to do so at a
very low rate. The dates are so arrang- j
ed that where there are a number who
contemplate coming west they may se
lect a representative on the first excur
sion and if he reports favorable the rest
may yet have time to come and secure
land this fall and get ready to move out
in the spring. Now is the time for ;
every one to write to their friends in the
east who have no land and tell them to
come to Sioux county and get a home- j
stead or buy some of the cheap deeded j
land which is now to be had. A united
effort in this direction wi accomplish i.
great deal. i

T. O. Williams completed the well
for Henry Covey last week and a wind
mill will soon be erected and at work
pulling up water.
Senator Stewart has secured the
contract to furnish a lot of hay for use
at Fort Robinson. Wonder if he got the
contract the same way as lie did the
wood contract p. few years ago? .
Lots of hay is being put up by the
farmers. They have to cut over more
ground than they did last year but they
get better hay. A good supply of hay is
a nice thing to have and then it the win
ter is a hard one the stock will not
suffer.
In another column of this issue ap
pears an advertisement of the drug firm
of Gorton Bros., of Crawford. They
have been in business there for years and
are well established and fully qualified
to put up prescriptions and as our peo
ple have to get drugs from another town
they will find that their wants will be
well looked after by that firm.
The horse with which the mail was
brought in from Montrose on last Thurs
day took a notion to go to kicking just
before a start was made on the returH
trip and he kept it up until he demol
ished the cart to which he was attached.
No one was hurt as the driver had not
mounted the cart when the animal took
the fool notion.
The people of Lusk and vicinity
have made a move to have a test well
put down in hope of getting artesian
water. A meeting was held a lew aays
ago at which a committee was appointed
to correspond with drillers in regard to
the cost and those in atteudance sub
scribed funds to prosecute the work.
Some of the farmers contributed as high
as fifty dollars toward the fund. The
progress of the work will be watched
with a good deal of interest by the
people of this locality for they may be
able to profit by the result of the Lusk
test.
Some time ago E. G. Hough resign
ed as postmaster at Harrison and the
matter hung fire so long that those who
were interested in the change began to
think that the papers had gone estray.
But nothing of the kind had happened
and a short time ago Tobe Castor went
to Washington and took a turn at the
whssl and the result was that a lot of
democratic postmasters were ground out
in short order and ?mong the names
of the appointees was J. fi. , Marsteller,
as postmaster at Harrison, Sioux ac'.'nty
Nebraska. The notice and bond will
likely be along in a few days and
the transfer will be made as soon as tbe
details can be arranged. Mr. Hough has
been anxious to be relieved for some
time as the duties of the ollice interfere
with his mercantile b usiness and be was
much pleased that the appointment was
made. Mr. Marsteller has been a resi
dent of this place for years and has large
interests here and as long as a democrat
is to get what there is in the victory of
lust fall he is entitled to it. The
appointment soems to give quite general
satisfaction.

veniences which they have placed at our

Resolved, Also, that we consider the
action of the county commissioners in
not appropriating the usual sum for in
stitute work thus limiting the session
to one week an injustice to us and to
the educational interests of the county.

are recognized in other counties as
among the most important. .

The instructors are doing all they can
to make the session interesting, but the
fact that it lasts but one week puts an

Equal with the interest of those having claims against the Government in

incompenteccy or inattention of the attorneys employed to obtain their patents,
Too much care canuot be exercised in employing competent and reliable solicitors
