After being actively in the Methodist Episcopal ministry since Septemljer, 1874, a period of 32 years, at which time he joined the Des Moines con ference at Indianola, Iowa, the editor’s oldest brother, Rev. C. H. Burleigh, last week took a supernumerary relation from the Northwest Nebras ka conference and will engage in secular affairs, probably going into the newspaper business.

He was secretary of his con ference for 15 consecutive years and will not be free from conference work until he gets out the edition of the minutes. Rev. Burleigh was pastor of the Tingley charge in 1875.— Tingley (la.) Vindicator. Sherman County All Right. Lincoln News: Attorney Howard J. Whitmore has recently returned from a visit to Sherman county and was greatly impressed with the great prosperity of the farmers, business men and other classes. “Litchfield is in Sherman county and I was amazed at the rapid advance ment of this place,” said Mr. Whit more. It contains much less than a thousand inhabitants, yet there is tremendous activity in the building line—new modern business blocks and residences going up fast. The banks are full of money. At Litchfield the bank carried over $80,000 of deposits much of it belonging to the farmers. I was told by a banker that farmers held a great deal of gilt edged paper on which they had loaned theirsurplus money. The soil of Sherman county is rich and deep. I never saw finer corn. I was told that there was plenty of corn that would go sixty bushels and over to the acre. Cattle and hogs were to be seen on eveay farm. Some of the finest cattle and hogs I have ever seen were in the pastures and meadows. Great fields of alfalfa were seen. Few farmers in the county there are who do not raise sizable crops of alfalfa. Sherman county is rather broken, there are many high places within its borders, yet the soil on the highest points was capable of yeilding big crops. Much of the upland is used for pasture. While a few sod houses are yet to be seen, they are fast dissappearing. Farmers are erecting good substantial honses and outbuildings and the im provement is very marked over the county. The farmers come to town driving fine teams and riding In first class vehicles. There is much fine stock of all descriptions in Sherman county. In the towns that I visited I was surprised to see several busi ness blocks and dwellings erected of artificial stone. In Litchfield, arti ficial stone pavements are supplant ing board walks very fast. Land in Sherman county is growing more valuable rapidly. Improved land sells as high as fifty dollars an acre. The poorest and most unimproved does not sell for less than 815 an acre.” Ak-Sar-Ben Festivities. Omaha, September 26th to October 6th.
