Too Crest n. Risk.
In almost every neighborhood someone
has died from an attack of colic or chol
era morbus, often before medicine could
be procured or a physician summoned.
A reliable remedy for these diseases
should be kept at hafil. The risk is too
great for anyone to t:ike. Chamberlain's
Colic, Cholera and r iarrhoea Remedy has
undoubtedly saved the lives of more
jieople and relieved more pain and sillier
ing than any other medicine in use. It
can always l depended upon. For sale

The Crawford Tribune is getting out a

Last Monday evening there was a
party given at Mr. Parsons, in honor of
the schiol teachers, who are to leave
next Friday evening, school being out
on that day, and a large number of
young people was present, (mostly those
who belonged to the reading circle.) We
understood they were to gather for the
purpose of bidding the teachers good-bye,
but as we like to put it- off as long as
possible we lid not bid them good-by.
Every body seemed to enjoy themselves
under the hospitality of Mr. Parson's
folks, and all relished the ice cream and
cake. As school will be out Friday we
expect this party will be the last one for
this seaann, and especially where the
teachers and some of the scholars can be
together. No doubt they all wish to be
together again at anothest party, but as
life is so uncertain we can't tell whether
we ever shall again, or not, but some of
us of course will be,

It may not be in town. We are sorry

it not to our liking, hut sometimes one
must do things not to their liking in
order to be able to live. No Peggv, our
so called poetery would be called mere
dougeral among true poets, we are no
laureate or we would write for a living.
To M. A. C. we extend a vote of thanks
for the poem dedicated to us, hut please
don't censure us too harshly. We have
counted the cost and know by experience
'rex,nence too.

was a good crowd in attendance and
from the interest manifested during the
sermon 1 know they all enjoyed it as 1
mvself did. Rev. Horton is a very plain
talker and don't hesitate to picture us Us
we look to others, he spoke of the main
fault of the )eople of this Northwestern
Nebraska which one little word explains
and that is grasping, and reaching out
for more wealth regardless of the com
fort of others or of other families and
forgetting thereby the golden rule. "Do
unto others as you wish them to do unto
you." This is the way it reads out west
here. "Dn unto others as they do unto
yon" which you all know isn't right, but
snmnc.n easier to live up to it seems
like. There were quite a few in this
locality that wasn't there that should
have been. Nw don't all say "Peggy
means me" for I mean no one in partic
ular but. many. Rut I hoe ail that did
hear the sermon will prollt by it and not
ive entirely for self and self comfort,
forgetting even their creator or his holy
day the Sabbath. W;e will have S. S.
every Sunday at 2 o'clock P. M. and
preaching again in two weeks on May 24
after S. S. at 3 o'clock, don't fail to

BREEZES FROM CENTRAL CITY.
May 4th. 1003.
It has been sdme time since we have
penned items, but we continue to read
the Press with increasing interest; As
Harrison is such a busy place, we won
der each week what will l the next. It
did not rain lie re Easter Sunday, but we
had miis up at that time, and they were
four inches high. When the recent
storm and freeze struck us on the 37th.
peach, plum, and cherry trees were in
bloom und apple trees were pink just
ready to open, The wind blew very hard
all dav Monday and towards evening it
calmed down a little; Tuesday morning
it Iwgan misting a little and got down to
business before the next inornipg when
everything was a glare of ice; Every
tree, bush, and weed was encased in ice
and the trees were breaking with their
extnw weight. Ice formed in the ponds
ovtran inch thick; Maby it didn't make
us feel sick at the stomach to see all our
fruit prospects blighted. Our straw
berries have not bloomed yet, so we dare
hope a little. Wheat is all right so far;
top leaves of alfalfa look as if they had
been through a fire; Leaves on the trees
are black and fulling, time enough for
mora to grow. We pitied the Sioux Co.
people during the storm, for we thought
it would be worse there, but are glad to
learn it was not as bad there as here.
Well M. A. C, we took a poetical streak
