If possible there will be a ball game between Arcadia and Rockville, and if these two teams can be induced to clash, a whirl wind game is apt to be the result. There will be a dance in the evening and the day will conclude with a grand display of fireworks.

The carrier was stuck in the mud on his route this week with a light buggy. Many cars have also been stuck the past week on account of the heavy rains. Mrs. P. G.

They expect to be gone about one month and see many places besides the exposition. My Old Patrons on Route One: You don’t know how glad I was to drive Route one and see you all again. But there has been so many changes I would not like to come back to stay. I was glad when I saw the fine im provements that have taken place all around the route since I was your car rier. Many qf you get to town now in your automobiles or fine carriages, where a buggy or a wagon was good enough. I noticed more than anything else the big improvements in the roads. When I drove route one nine years ago there were miles of roads that had never been worked and some of the hills were nothing but cat steps. Your present carrier has an auto and you ought to do everything to keep the roads in good shape. The little trees I saw you planting then are now big shade or big apple, plum or cherries, he big orchards that were planted then are trees bearing fruit now. These orchards go a long way towards boosting the country. Sunday night Route 1 was visited with another one of those gully washers and at A. L. Parters’ there was a strip of hail about one mile wide and about one-half mile long. It damaged the oats one-third and pounded the corn bad. Clarence Ton darew told the carrier that Monday morning at 10 o’clock there was still some hail where it had been washed in little piles in the road. No wind to speak of accompanied the hail. Had there been nothing would have been left. A very heavy rain fell, as much as four inches in places. The storm traveled in a southeastery di rection striking Ed Flynn’s, Bichel’s, Peterson, Behrens, Kuhl’s Jerkewicz, McBeth’s and Knoepfel’s. From Ed Flynn’s east it seemed to gain force and the crops were from one-third to almost totally destroyed along this line. This is hard luck as the wheat is almost ready to cut and the yield is going to be big this year. One thing about this storm it was narrow, con fining itself to a strip not to exceed one mile. In this storm Litchfield did not get any rain and Loup City only one-quarter of an inch. Brown creek and Cob creek were running bank full. The river rose Monday afternoon showing that a heavy storm had taken place to the northwest some fifty miles. The report is that hail fell in sizes all the way from a pea to as large as a baseball. _ THE NEAPOLITAN ORCHESTRA AND GRAND OPERA SINGERS. . ~ . --■ .-----.’.r.~ LIVE STOCK PRICES AT SOUTH OMAHA Beeves Suffer a Sharp Reaction, but Feeders Steady.
