' . ' Geo. Grimm moved his family last week to the upper 33 where he will reside and look af'er the interests of Brewster and Co. for the next year. We did our first days work in Nebraska on this old ranch over IS years ago when women were a scarce article in th.it part of the country, but things have changed since then. We remember ono day of Otto Tietze coming to the ranch with a young lady and the young men were peeping around the cornera of thn buildings as if they h.id never seen a woman before. But these young men are all lienedicts now, even Otto, that the boys seemed so envious of. We would like to say to our school board in selecting our te:u:hers for thn next year, why not consider our home talent. We have advocated our people patronizing home industries, &c. and we think it just as reasonable to recognize our home girls and bov where they la bor for an education, and are as compe tent in every way as teachers that are imported and we know what they are. It would seem unreasonable to our school board were one of our own home graduates without any experience to ap ply for a position in eur school, but strange to say we have had strangers that hare had no experience tench in our school, and why not treat our own as you would strangers. Recommendations don't oount for anything these days for anything can get a recommendation as our board full well knows from past ex perience, and why not help s m of our own teachers get started in of ur graded schools as well as strangers. What say you to this, gentlemen? A WONDERFUL INVENTION. It is interesting to note that fortunes are frequently made by the invention of articlesjof minor importance. Many of the roost popular devices are those de signed to benefit the people and meet popular conditions, and one of the most interesting of these (hat has ever been invented is the Dr. White Electric Comb, patented Jan. 1, '99. These wonderful Combs positively cure dandruff, hair falling out, sick and nervous headaches, and when used with Dr. WhiteVF.Iectric Hair Brush are positively guaranteed to make straight hair curly in 25 days' time Thousand of the electric combs have been sold in various cities of the Umou, and th demand is constantly increasing. Our agents are rapidly becoming rich selling these combs. They positively sell on sight. Sand for sample. Men s size 85c. ladies' 60c.-half price while wears introducing them.)

Church last Friday night eclipsed anything tliat has ever taken place in Harrison. By 6 o'clock there was not a vacant chair in the church. The program was carried out except the open air concert which had to be left eut on account of the heavy rain at that time. We were all somewhat disappointed for we were anxious to hear the baud boys give their first concert to the public. At 8:15 the class marched into the church while the orchestra played an overture after which praver was offered by J. B Bu.-ke. Af ter a song by the ihoir, 51 iss Virginia C. Parsons rendered the Salutatory, "Life is Real," and we niut say she acquiled herself with credit. Class Prophesy" by Mi is Gertrude Converse was well rendered and we hope that her many prophesy may come true. The Class address, "Hammer and Nails," given by Rev. J. H. Andrews of Chadron, was a masterful talk, anil was highly apprecia ted by all. Mr. Andress spoke for one hour and fifteen minutes nnd many said they could have listened to him all night. If the claxs will only remember one half the good things that he said and will put them into practice they will be much benefited. We have heard Mr. Andress speak several limes, and we are glad to say that there was no disappointment, and those that nursed hearing tins address missed the best lecture that has ever been given in Harrison. We feel sure that the class made a lucky hit when they got the services of tiiis gentleman, and should e ever come to Harrison ngain he will lie greeted by a full house. Archio Davis gave t!:e Valedictory, "Napoleon." Rev. V, C. Daniels, after a few well chosen remarks presented the Diplomas to the class after which the Flower Fairies; Lucy Gerlach. Helen Cl irke. Edna Davis and Ollie Morris pre sented the oaxs with beautiful flowers. Principal Morris with a few very appro priate remarks presented Otte Paie with a scholarship certificate, he standing the highest In the class. This young man deserves a great deal of credit for his manly bearing and studious habits since fie has been a.nong us. Some yeurs ago God saw best to cull this voung man's mother from this world leaving him without h home, and the dearest friend a young man can have, a mother, ilut while these- have been tflken from him, he oy his manliness has had a home giv en him by A McGinley who tin given him the advantages of our school for the psst three years, snd Morris, his teacner, in piesi-nl inn him with his scholarship, said that he hud never given him one moments worry, and that his attitude toward turn us a pupil was nlwujs manly and obedient. May he, when his lifes work is ended here be ueh that j when the. great record above is read it may be the same as given by his teacher as on the night of his graduation. Archie Davis stood next in his class nnJ ho has by his earnest efforts and de votion to his work, brought him the honors that were bestowed upon him on this eventful evening and we hope that he may ever remember the m-my sacri fices that have been made by those inter ested in him, that he might attain the honor that was bestowed upon him by his teacher, and the clnihs by choosing hunas Valedictorian. Misses Virginia 0. Parsons, Edna Roh wer and Elsie Rohwer have been reared in Hioux county and are estimable voting ladies, and have by their earnest efforts and liidv Ilk? nmnnrs won th honors bestowed them Friday night, by their teachers, classmates and school board, and we hope that the lives of these young ladies may be brightened from day to day by the remembrance of this epoch of their life. Miss Gertrude Converse came to Harrison atiout two years ago and by her diligent and careful work, she earned the honors bestowed and as she goes out from this school we hope, that the many excellent things that she has learned may be used to make the world brighter and better. We wish the class as did their ninny friends on the evening of their graduation. Success, anil may their lives be spent in helping others for there has been many a sacrifice made by father and mother that these children could I what they are today The sinifine was very good considering " that two voices, that of Mrs. Wilherms- dorfer and Mrs. V. C. Daniels were on account of sickness unable to be present. We will look forward to next year for such another memorable event hoping that there may be as many or more to receive the honors for their many vears work, for we know the patrons appreciat ed the exercises of the evening as well as the honors bestowed upon these young people, and there were many visitors Irom the country present notwithstand ing the down pour of rain at the hour the excercieea began, I GERLACH & SOU . $ Selling More A complete line of GROCERIES, HARDWARE, DRYGOODS, BOOTS & SHOES, and a complete line of SPRING GOODS.
