we naa uie pleasure last r rinay oi
meeting another old friend whom we
had not met for some twenty-five
years, Mr. James Mooney, one of the
wealthy farmers of Tingley, Iowa.
Mr. Mooney was on a visit to his son
in-law, F. G. Casteel, on the old Ed.
Wakenight place up the valley and
took occasion to call and see how this
editor was doing. Mr. Mooney has
been a resident of Ringgold county,
near Tingley for some thirty-six
years, and has seen that country grow
from a primitive state to one of the
best in the grand old Hawkeye state.
The era of cement walk building
has begun in Loup City with a vim.
New walks have been laid in front of
the Wharton house, on the east side
of the First National bank, have been
commenced on the north side of the
square and on the east side of the
T. H. Eisner residence, and the con
tracts have been let and are being let
for cement walks over many of the
main thoroughfares of the city, and
before fall the greater portion of
Loup City will have cement walks in
all directions. Loup City leads all
her sister towns in this particular
line of enterprise.
In company with W. F. Mason, the
editor of The Nobthwestebn took
a run up to Sargent, last Thursday
evening, and was surprised to find
such a lively berg up in the hills.
Sargent while possibly not half the
size of Loup City, is a beautiful little
place, and its well apportioned mer
cantile establishments were the great
est surprise of the visit, in that they
exceeded by far in style, and up-to
date attractiveness of most any town
double in size. The new bank and
building added to Sargent by Messrs.
Culley and Mason, is one of the most
attractive features of the town, and
we had occasion to notice that the
building is one of the neatest and
most tasty any one could wish, while
the business is proving most satis
factory to the gentlemen, with a
most genial, painstaking and cour
teous resident manager, Mr. W. B.
Storrs, hold of the lead strings. All
concerned are to be congratulated.
Wedding Bells.
On Friday evening, April 20, Ru
dolph Schweitzer and Miss Rose Rowe
were united in marriage at the bride’s
home in Loup City, H. S. Wold, pas
tor of the Paptist church officiating.
Mr. Schweitzer came to Nebraska a
few years ago from Indiana and is
well and favorably known. The bride
is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Rowe of this city. The parlor was
tastily decorated. A beautiful arch
had been arranged in one corner of
the room.lwhere the happy couple took
the vows that made them husband
and wife. The relatives and only a
few choice friends were present. At
the close of the ceremony, a sumptu
ous supper was served. Mr. and Mrs.
Schweitzer have gone to housekeep
ing about seven miles northwest of
Loup City, where the groom is em
ployed by a Mr. Johnson. May suc
cess attend them. , ***
Yesterday (Wednesday) afternoon,
about 3 o’clock, occurred the nuptials
of Mr. Geo. W. Tangerman and Miss
Bertha Fletcher at the home of the
bride’s parents, some thirteen miles
south of Loup City, the Rev. L. C.
McEwen of this city officiating. The
happy couple will go to housekeeping
immediately on the farm of the
groom in the same neighborhood.
The groom is an influential farmer
and the bride is the accomplished
daughter of Samuel Fletcher, also a
well-to-do farmer. May success at
tend them.

lovers of good horseflesh. See John

service.
T. H. Eisner has had his residence
lots graded and sown to blue grass,

otherwise making extensive improve
ments which show the gentleman to
be enterprising and a believer in the
future of Loup City.
The North western added the
following new readers to its growing
list the past few days, to whom we
return thanks: Mrs. Westernhouse
of Webster township, E. H. Allen and
Fred Richardson of Clear Creek and
G. E. Wilson of May, Oklahoma.
Mrs. J. S. Pedler received a tele
gram this morning from her daugh
ter at Stockton, Calif., reporting a
terrible disaster, but while losing
everything, her life was spared. The
message railed to state whether it
had reference to the late earthquake
or a more recent disaster at Stockton.
W. H. Bradshaw left Monday for
Battle Creek, Iowa, where he will
make his home for the present. Mr.
Bradshaw expressed himself as feel
ing most kindly toward the people of
Loup City, and only his late trouble
caused him to change his future
home. The Northwestern wishes
for him best of success wherever he
may cast his lines.
A Presbyterian Sunday school has
been organized at the Baillie school
house in Washihgton township, which
meets at 3 o'clock each Sabbath after

school house, also, next Sunday arter
noon by Rev. McEwen of this city.
All invited next Sunday, as well as
every Sunday following.
The McKinnie boys lost their fine
bird dog, “Duke,” by thepoisin route
last week. Strychnine had been
spread over the prairies to depopulate
the coyote colony, but succeeded in
stead in putting to sleep some four
valuable canines thereabouts. At
last reports the coyote contingent
had the laugh on and their familiari
ty grows apace over the sad mistakes
made by their hereditary enemies,
both two and four-footed.
Friends and members of the Baptist
church give Mr. and Mrs. Wold a
surprise Tuesday evening of last week,
and presented them with a handsome
dresser, which was very highly ap
preciated. A program of speaking,
singing, etc., was rendered at the
church. Mr. and Mrs. Wold then
presented the church with a framed
motto. It was a pleasant occasion.
Several friends brought in donations,
helping the parsonage larder.
Rev. Wold preached to a packed
house last Sunday evening. The sub
ject was “Lost In The Desert,”
founded on the scene described in
Gen. 21:14-21 and also on a picture
bearing the above title. The audience
seemed to drink in every word of the
message, and we beleive it will result
in much good. After the sermon
four candidates were baptized and
we beleive everyone went away with
bettor impressions for good. The
baptistry was beautifully decorated
with artificial morning glories, ever
green and potted plants. Christian
people certainly felt that it was a
joyous occasion. *
An overflowing house greeted our
home people at Litchfield last Satur
day nsght to hear the rendition of
their play, “Diamonds and Hearts,”
and had the house been twice as large
would have been filled. The company
was enthusiastically received and
netted the company close to $50.
Specialties were put on by Bert
McKinnie, Newt Vance and little
Howard Adamson, in addition to the
drama proper and as well received.
Litchfield and her people will always
be remembered most kindly for their
generous reception of our local people.
We understand the company intend
taking the play to Arcadia and Sar
gent in the near future.
' Rev. Grant B. Wilder will occupy

Beginning with the evening of the
30th inst he will give a series of four
lectures of deep interest to all. Single

course, 50 and 75 cents. Rev. Wilder
comes very highly reccomended and
we are sure his work will be appreci
ated by all. Come to hear him.
The Entre Nous Club had another
of their very enjoyable surprises last
Monday evening. This time it was
on Mrs*. Dr. Main. At about 8 o’clock
that evening the members of the
club, followed by their faithful house
hold gods, met at an appointed ren
dezvous and proceeded to the home

There used to be a time long ago when steel wheels were un- d
known. Tilings are different now and we would feel like back- |
numbers if we offered our customers the old-fashioned cast iron hub, .1
wood wheels.
When you buy a manure spreader you ought to be just as careful y
about vour whaels as you are when you buy any other kind of a j
{ machine, and much more particular. There is no machine on the i
; farm that gets as severe wheel service as the Spreader—if it is used. J
5 It stands one day witli the lower part of the rim in the wet and the J
3 other side ni the baking sun. rJ lie next day the conditions are re- !'
1 versed. It is expected to go over the farm in all of the bad places 1
1 and haul loads that wonld paralize the ordinary wagon. Still some i
people offer this machine with the cheapest kind of a combination
cast iron and wood wheel.
The Litchfield Spreader is equipped with 6” tires on these steel
wheels, having large rolled edges and a general construction, from the
tire to the hub that would carry a traction engine. The round edges
on the tires prevent the wheels from sinking through the sod like the
old-fashioned square tires do. There is as much difference between
these round edges and the other kind in cutting through your
meadows as there is between a dull and a sharp knife in cutting a ,
loaf of bread.
i If you want to leave your grass ground without deep ruts and •
wish to maintain light draft, then lie sure you select a wheel that
will not sink through the sod with an ordinary load. I
These modem steel wheels are different from the ordinary kind I
as you will see when yon look at them. The hub }s made from cold
drawn weldless Steel tubing; the spokes from high carbon steel
riveted on both sides of the hub and on both sides of the tire, The
tire being flanged will not buckle and being welded together will not
give way like the cheap kind that are held with a patch.
Seeing is beleiving and if you want to knoW about these wheels
look them over. We are ready to show you a wheel for strength and
durability like you never saw before. Anvwav come and see the
Litchfield Spreader. We shall explain briefly next week with refer
ence to the self-cleaning, endless conveyer, such as no other machine
uses. i
