Good preliminaries. Rockville Queen of South Sherman Through the kindness of Dr. J. E. Bowman, a few days since, the ed itor jumped aboard his gasoline joss and floated down to our pretty little suburban village of Rockville for an hour’s visit with the boys. The road between here and Austin was very good, but from there to Rockville is simply horrid Some two weeks since a subscription paper was circulated among the business men of this city and the farmers along the route for the grading and putting of the road in better shape. Some 150 was sub scribed in Loup City and a correpsond ing amount in work subscribed by the farmers between Austin and Rock ville. However, in going over the road we found but little improvement, many of those who subscribed work not finding time to do so, for one reason and another, and the 950 in cash not going to any great extent alone. Something, however, should be done to make that portion of the road at least fairly passable. Rock ville for a fact is one of the nicest little towns any county could wish. Nestled in the valley at the foot of the hills, with the Loup lounging lazily along to the west of it, with a fine farming community tributary to the village aud a live bunch of mer chants to feed their wants, Rockville has little else to wish for. And how could it be otherwise with Emit Dwehus of the State Bank looking after the financial end; with Tom Lay of the Keystone furnishing the ma terial for the tine homes; Emil Cords to furnish the necessaries to make them well and Dr. Dickinson to make md keep them so; with E. F. Kozel to make winter a season of pleasure and warmth in their homes; with Chris Nielson and J. E. Joynt to give the people pleasure and profit in gen eral merchandise; with Clothier Pe lerson making the men and boys up to-date; good places for eats; fine schools, and everything in keeping, (u fact, it is so nice and enteqrrMug i village that we are inclined to in troduce a bill in the legislature, when sleeted to one of those bodies, to ah nex it to tire county seat as Loup City Junior. And we don’t have to stutter or stammer in saying so. r » - --a* -• Grandma Waite Falls Asleep Monday of this week, at 12:30 oc curred the death of Grandma Waite, who had passed the 78th mile post in tills life. Her death was peaceful and the end came quietly and sweetly as though fallen asleep. For many years she had made her home with her son, W. S. Waite in this city her life was lived quietly in our midst and death came surrounded by loved ones. The funeral took place yesterday afternoon at 2 o’clock from the M. E. church of which faith she had been a consistent and faithful member since early childhood, joining the church in her 13th year. J uliette Rosebery Waite was born October 1st, 1834, in Hunterdon county, New Jersey. There she was married on March 1st, 1853, to John Waite. To this union were born five sons. Charles E., whose death oc curred in this city, Feb. 2, 1883; Wil liam H., who was killed by Mexican bandits, April 4th, of this year, at Achotal, Vera Cruz, Mexico; Elmer E., who is a business man in Van couver, Wash., where Grandma Waite vis'ted a few years ago; Willis R., who lives on a farm some 15 miles north west of Loup City, and Wilber S., of this city, with whomthegood mother lived for the past score of years and till death called her. Mr. and Mrs. Waite moved to Minnesota in 1865; from there to Palmyra, Iowa, in 1867, and from there to Nebraska in the fall of 1880, moving on a farm ten miles north and two miles west of Loup City, residing there until the | fall of 1893, and where the husband and father died in 1891, when Grand man Waite came to Loup City with her sons and has since made her home in this city with her son Wilbur. Her age was 78 years, 2 months and 8 days. She was laid to rest in our Evergreen cemetery, where the bodies of her husband and oldest son will be brought from the cemetery at Ar cadia and laid by her side. Mrs. J. C. Minshull of Ewan, Wash, formerly Miss Frankie Inks of this city, but later of Kearney, was here over last Sunday to see Mr. Minshull’s mother before the latter’s departure for her new home in Virginia, and to visit numerous other relatives and friends. She came from her home on the Pacific Coast to her parents’ home in Kearney some two weeks’ since. She will continue her visit some time before returning to Washington. She is the guest of Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Mason. Ham Pagrter of Cedar Bluffs, Neh., the giant in stature brother of our handsome Jack Psgeler, was here last week visiting Jack and Wm. Psgeler, his Sherman county brothers, leaving for home Saturday afternoon. Death of John Schoening. Celebrates Ooldon Wadding Anni versary and SuecuiAbs to Dioonoo Throo Weeks LatOr Was Well Beldvid On November 4, Mf. and Mrs. John Schoening of Fruitvale, surrounded by fifty or more dependents, cele brated their golden wedding anniver sary, following fifty fears of liappy wedded life. Last evening at 5:30 Mr. Schoening’s life cycle was complete and he breathed his list, the close of a life beautiful and worthy in every 1 respect. He was surrounded by many of his relatives, who had warning that the end was not far off. Dropsy was the direct cause of his death, and he had been suffering for some four months, being in poor health during the recent eelebratiofi, although he braced up for the occftssion and bid his many descendenta and guests a hearty welcome. For the past two weeks he has been failing, and, due to his advanced age of 74, he was unable to rally to any extent and received his.final sum mons to the higher realm last evening. Jonn bcnoemng was born m Sehle weig, Holstein, Germany, June 30, 1838. He came to America in 1882, and to Colorado six 'years ago. He had lived in the Fttiitvale section with his sons since coming here and was very well liked by all who knew him. He had lived a life of happiness and sacrifice for ids loved ones, was a member of the German Lutheran church and highly respected by all with whom he came ip contact. Before coming to Grand Valley he lived for a number of years in Nebras. ka, where he was regarded as one of the finest men in the community. He lias merit marks all the way through his career and his faults were few indeed. A great home lover, he was the father of a large family and had scores of grandchildren to delight him in his last few years. He will be greatly missed at the aide of his companion of fifty years j and “Grandpa” Schoening, as he was propularly known, will be missed by more than his Immediate family. The survivors of John Schoning, are his wife and si^ghiidren—three daughters, 'Mrs. E.D. "Voss/Mrs. Sohn Jens, and Mrs. Johanna Stark of this valley; David Schoening of Lost Cabin, Wyo., C. F. Schoening of this valley and henry Schoening of Em mett, Ida. They will not be able to attend the funerel which will be held at the home at 1 o’clock Wednesday afternoon, and at two o’clock at the German Lutheran church with inter ment in Orchard Mesa cemetery. The funeral of John Schoening was held this afternoon ab the borne in Fruibvale, and a service held ab bbe German Lutheran church ab 2 o’clock wibh Rev. Better officiating preceded the procession to the grave. The sermon delivered over the flower strewn casket contains the mortal re mains of bbe aged pioneer was com* forting and touching. A long line of carriages followed the hearse to the cemetery, where the borial took place. The funeral was largely attended and many ex pressions of sympathy for the be reaved wife were hear*.1 It will be remembered that the couple celebrat ed their golden wedding annivereary here Nov. 4—Grand Junction (Colo. Daily Sentinel. Grandpa Schoening was for a num ber of yearn a resident of Slierman county, living southwest of this city, and was well known and bighiy re spected by our people. The Northwestern’s electric motor for the big power press, made espe cially to our order, arrived Tuesday evening from Lynn, Mass,, and was installed that night and yesterday morning by Electrician Sweetland. An especial three-wire direct current meter has also been placed by the the electric company, and now our presses are fully equipped with eletric motors, the office with new and up to-date material, making of the Northwestern one of the very best printeries in Central Nebraska. But j. nothing is too good for Loup City,and we are bound to keep up with the pace set by the best town on earth. And by the way we have found out you will make no mistake in securing the services of our expert local elec triciah, Clarence Sweetland, along electric lines.

This low spot received the set tling while the coal was formiug, with the result that we sometimes get a load of this and then we have a sooty coal.
