shouldn’t she be. The treatment for

treatment of the other eye, she will
have the use of both, Grandma

Bro. Cooley of the Arcadia Cham
pion is to be relieved of the strenuous

indicate other good and sufficient
causes. Bro. Cooley will now have
more time to devote to brainier little

his puerile mind are very intelligent

almost everything needed in a well

shoes and stockings to a magnificent
oak side-board, a present from Papa

HALF A CENTURY OLD
White Men First Located in Hall
County in 1857.
On July 3, 1857, an emigrant train,
which had treked its weary way out
across the plains from Davenport, la.,
came to a halt in the Platte valley,
about a mile south of the present site
of Grand Island. Its occupants decid
ed that at least for the night they
would halt there. They had come out
with the purpose of locating in the
Platte valley, in the central part of
the state, and lay out a town, which
it was hoped might some day become
the capital of the United States—
when bands of steel should have con
nected coast with coast.
On the next day, the morn of the
nation’s natal day, they decided to
stay where they were. And stakes
were placed and the first Fourth cele
brated in a new home.*.
Of that colony the Messrs. Fred
Hedde, Christian Menck, Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Joenck, Wm. Hagge, Wm.
Stolley, Mrs. John Thomssen, Sr., and
Cay Ewoldt still remain as residents
"of Grand Island.
They have outlived prairie fires and
their destructiveness, the fires being
set by roving desperadoes, the Indian
troubles during the time of the civil
war, the grass hopper sieges, the
drouths.
Shall wonder that Grand Island, on
the Fourth, is arranging to celebrate
the semi-centennial anniversary in a
most elaborate manner.
