Our Gage Valley correspondent
vouches for the accuracy of the fol
j lowing remarkable story: One year
! ago last June a youth working for a
j neighbor bought two Chester White
| sow pigs at a cost of $3.50. They were
(bred in due season and had fifteen
pigs. This fall one of. the original
; hogs was sold for $26.30 and the other,
! of equal value, was butchered for
1 family use. Six of the pigs, averag
| ing 220 pounds, were sold for $5.87
] per hundredweight, bringing $77.50:
; one was killed early in the fall, es
! timated at $6: the other eight pigs
will weigh more than 200 pounds
apiece and are worth $5.70 or more,
l making $91.20. In other words, the
| $3.50 invested one year ago has grown
to $227.30, an increase of something
like 650 per cent.—St. Paul Republi
can.
Hayhurst-Galloway Hdw. Co.
As will be noticed by the advertis

The following item sent us for pub

Arcadia, Neb., Jan. 23. 07,—Dear
Sir: The churches of Arcadia are
uniting in a revival effort. They will
hold cottage prayer meetings for two
weeks and l>egin revival meetings
about Feb. 3d. They have engaged
Mrs. Livingstone to assist. Enthus
iasm marks the opening of the cam

Mrs. II. A. Hinman entertained at i
her home in northeastern Loup City,
Tuesday afternoon, from three to six
o’clock, in honor of her sister-in-law,
I Miss Maude Hinman. of St. Edwards,
| Neb. The hours were pleasantly spent
by playing games, one of which was,
‘‘A Flowery Romonie”, a guessing
contest. The prize for this contest,
a beautiful bread and butter plate,
was awarded to Miss House. The i
young ladies present were: Misses
Lundy, House, Brach, Culley, Taylor, I
Zimmerman, Smith, Whitaker. Chase j
and Mrs. Joe Thompson.
The ladies of the M. E. church at I
Ridgeway, Mo., gave a bazar and
dinner and supper Thanksgiving day
so we learn from the Journal. They
made requests to • Montgomey Ward
& Co. and Sears Roebuck & Co. for
donations; also asked the wholosale
houses who sell goods to the Ridge
way merchants. Every wholesale
house responded with a liberal dona
tion, but the two catalogue houses
both flatly refused, saying they never
gave to any such enterprise. And yet
people, good people at that, will send
to these same catalogue houses for
nearly everything they buy and let
the merchants suffer. If they want
time on purchases, though, they will
go to the home merchant.
Iuto the Mystic Beyond.
Died, on Monday morning of this
week at about 5 o'clock, from an
abscess on the brain, Helen Aufrecht,
the 18-year-old daughter of Mr. Wm.
Aufrecht of Washington township.
The funeral took place at 2 o’clock
yesterday afternoon at the residence,
Rev. Mathews of Arcadia officiating.
The body was taken to Seward this
morning, to be laid by the side of her
mother who preceded her into the
the spirit land. Miss Aufrecht was
the next to the youngest daughter of
Mr. Aufrechr, a lovely dispositioned
girl, an earnest Christian, and the
idol of her father’s heart, and her
love was in like manner bestowed
upon the fond father, making the
home doubly desolate by the hand of
death. Miss Helen was also a favorite
with all who knew her. and her death
is sincerely mourned by a large circle
of friends. The bereaved family de
sires to return their heartfelt thanks
to the. many friends for their assist
ance and sympathy during the illness
and subsequent death of the loved one.
The Infant and only child of Mr.
and Mrs. Herman Ilermanson, near
Sweetwater, died Monday and was
buried from the Lutheran church
near their home yesterday. The babe
was scarcely one month old. The grief
stricken parents have the deep sym
pathy of all their friends in their
irreparable loss.
Seriously Burned.
Last Monday evening, while Guy
Toulouse, motor engine helper, was
removing the top off a can of carbide,
an explosion of gas took place, result
ing in burning his face and eyes quite
severely. Dr. Long, the company
phvsicion, attended him and says his
burns will lay him up for a couple of
weeks.__
Revival Meetings.
The revival meetings at the Meth
odist church are growing in interest
nightly, and the longer Mrs. Living
ston. the evangelist, and Miss May
Higdon, the singer, are here the bet
ter the people appear satisfied with
them. We have attended these meet
ing two or three evenings and cannot
help being impressed with the notice
able lack of attendance and interest
manifested by a large percentage of
the membership of the church. If
a church expects or desires a series
of successful meetings, it can only be
accomplished by hearty co-operation
as a unit. This thought is invoked
by knowledge of past History of such
efforts as noted by those both in and
out of the church.
