for which wc return thanks to Mr. Ij.
G. Lock wood. Secretary, vlt beai's

fair 'specimen of the work turned out
at that Sirat-ehwa establishment.
There is one thing particularly notice
able in the job, namely, tho amount
of advertisements and the neat and
tasteful manner iu which they are
arranged. Ifthfrecver was a season
in which to hoid a successful agricul
tural fair it is. this ; everything is fa
vorable, and tbtse of 113 who cannot
attend Phihtdeliriiia should make our
county fair sufticiently attractive to

The Frcst speaks truly. If fairs are
not a success this year in Nebraska it
will be the fault of managers and tho
people who should encourage them,
livery county should doits best to ex
cel. In Nemaha' wc expect to havo
tho most successful fair ever IiqW in
the county. Tho crops were never
.better and the bflicers are at work,
and everybody feels a feerene. confi

The K. P. Dramatic Association
of Brownville, gave its second per
fosumnce, in McPherson Kll, on last
T!srrfny evening before a very re
' epoctsble house both as to size and
character. .Tho principal play was
"Still Waters Run Deep," and was
performed splendidly, we thought,
and that all the spectators thought so
too, was evidenced by the frequent
spontaneous applause elicited. The
cast of characters was remarkably well
chosen, and each performer seemed
especially adapted to perform his or
her. part. Mr. J. C. McNaughton
sustained the character of John
Mjldmay, and did it well," keeping
constantly before the mind the soul
of the play, that "fctill waters run
deep:" Mr, J. B. Docker was Mr.
Potter, the klnd'hearted, weak, ego
tistical old father and brother. W. T.
Rogers sustained well the character
of Captain ilawkdley, tho gentleman
roue, and Ted. Hnddart was Mr. Dun
bilk, and made a first rate' Irishman.
Mrs. F. A. Tifcdel carried' the part of
Mrs. Hector Sternhold, the aunt, and
Mm. E- Uuddaxt that of Mrs. Mild

Tho weather was ao very warm
that tho attendance at the club meet
ing last Saturday evening was rather
slim.

meet when tho weather gets cooler.
Everybody is invited to attend tho

is especially desirabla that every Re

present.
Albert Davis, who killed Trim
mer sonic time In 1S74 at a party, was
recently tried for manslaughter and
sentenced to forty days in the county
jail, and to pay a fine of $100.00. .
The above item, which appeared in
Tin; Advertiser of the 13th inst., is
erroneous in stating that Trimmer
was killed, and that Davis was tried
for manslaughter. Trimmer is yet
above the sod, and was really not
much hurt by Davis. Davis was tried
for an assault of some kind, on Trim
mer, and punished as nbovo stated.
PERSONAL.
J." II. Broad y and family aro vis
iting friends in Illinois, expecting to
be absent three or four weeks.
T. L. Schick, Esq., started east
on Friday last. He will bo absent
until about the middle of August.
Miss Hattie Smith, of this jdace,
who has been vi&itiug friends in Tc-
cumseh for some time past, returned
home on Thursday last.
Capt. W. A. Jndkin3 started on
Monday Inmt, to vIetS:ri4'ilntJJ Xn!-y
his old homo. Ho will probably visit
Philadelphia before his return.
V. W. Hackney returned from
his Centennial f rip last week, in good
health and satisfied with his sight at
tho great show espeohdly during this
hot weather.
Mr. J. R' Hoover, accompanied
by his wife and daughter, Mrs. Chns.
Ervin, arrived homo from Plum
Creek, Neb., on Tuesday last. Mrs.
Hoover is In very poor health.
Our young friend, Win. Bailey,
son of Capt. B. M. Bslley, started
west on Monday last, in company with
Dr. McPherson. Ho will probably go
as far as Santa Fe, New Mexico, and
will locate and go into business if he
likes tho country. Mr. Bailey, is an
estimable young man, Bteady and in
dustrious, and wo cordially recom
mend him to the friendship of all in
that new country.
On Monday of this week Dr.
John McPherson started on a tour to
the west and southwest. Wo believe
his destination is Trinidad, Colorado,
but he may extend his travels
down into New Mexico and Arizonn.
This 13 not altogether a pleasure trip
.with him, but ho means business, and
will, wc understand, engage in some
kind of business at Trididad if the
prospect looks liko there was succces
ahead. Dr. Me. Is a live, enterprise
ing man, and the business aud citi
zenship of any place where he may
locate, will gain a valuable acquisi
tion in Mm. We predict success and
prosperity to him wherever ho may
pitch his tent, and in whatever busi
ness he may engage. We do not un
derstand, however, that ho will dis
continue his prosperous husinesa here.
Capt. Bailey has received a letter
Iron) the family of J. ii. McGee, who
went-to Philadelphia a few weeks ago,
to the efieet that Mr. McOe had tho
misfortune, on one of the hot days of
last week, to be so affected with tho
heat as to become entirely deaf, and
that he also lost his power of speech,
so that when the letter was written to
his friends here he could neither hear
nor speak, and could only communi
cate with any one by writing. We
understand that while his nfiliction
was caused by something like sun
stroke, he did not lose consciousness,
and was not otherwise, so far as could
be perceived, seriously injured. The
people hereTvill universally regret to
learn of Capt. McGeo'a terrible mis
fortune, and hope that his recovery
will beiveedy and thorough.

Club Electing.
The Republican Club met in their
new room in McPhersou Block on

16th.' He just literallj' walked off
with all secret societies, ami de
nounced the Good Templars as a
"mere side show." A short sighted
man could see what's the matter with
Dav. Somo of the good people of
Lindon attended the "bide show" in
stead of going to the big circus, and
that is what made the clown jealous.
But very little grain threshed in
these parts yet, aud "tho turn-out is
not astonishingly large."
Well, I have been trying to com
pose a verso about something, just so
as to be even with those who send
items from other parts, but I can't
make tho words rhyme and measure
at the same time. I studied ra3'self
to sleep in tho attempt, and was
aroused b3' a couple of flies quarreling
over m3T nose. Well, "it is pleasant
sometimes to have one's slumbers dis

good. Some already thrashed did not
turn out as much as expected.

We notice that Benton is well

HISTORICAL SKETCH
OF
5?
rnaiiib
Kenialia Co., rVeb.
BYS. AVAOSTAFF.
Glen Rock is on tho north lino of
Nemaha County, and contains a town
ship, or precinct, consisting of thirty
six sections, of which IC and 3-1 are set
apart soiel3' for the use and benefit of
our free schools; is well watored, and
for fertility of soil unsurpassed.
The first settlers in the township
were Kenry Andrew and Jounthan
Higgins, who built the first log cabin
and broke the first sod. They settled
in August, 1354. About tho same
time Houston Nuckolscame and took
as a claim the laud which now com
prises J. Gill's farm. Tho first faruily
to winter hero was Win. Tremble's,
who took as a claim what is now John
Epler's farm. The roll-call for 1854-5
were Messrs. Higgins, Tremble, Nuck
olls, Scot, Anderson Collins, Gilmore,
Norris and Allen.
Jonathan Higglng and Miss Good
were the first persons married in Glen
Rock. The first death look place in
the winter of 1856-7, aud it is not
known whether it was from natural
causes or violence. The first birth
was either Scot or Gilmore. Gilmore
had quite a family, and was just as
brave as frontiersman are wont to bo.
He, alone, had quito a little fracas
with tho Indians, and came out of It
with his top-knot all right. And this
reminds me of another little Indian
raid on Thomas Mosel3, In lS56or'57,
whom the3' robbed of knife and pock
et comb, with a good ecare in the bar
gain. In 1S55 thcro was about twelve vot
ers iu the township, aud the first elec
tion was held on tho Littlo Nemaha,
at Kennison's. Half of GI011 Rock
aud Lafa3'ette, at that time was called
Kennison's. Second election wns
held at Shroaf's, on the Nemaha.
The first bridge built was by Eph
riam Reed, on Rock Creek, on what is
now Hoagland's farm, and who
thought tho public owed something
from tne fact that ho had a wife and
little famib, and hud built a bridge,
so out ho comes an a candidato for the
Legislature, and so certain of success
that he wondered what bis mother
would saj when sho heard he had
gone to the Legislature. The voters
elected him to stay at home to keep
II. B. Roberts compaii3', another dem
ocrat who came in at Use same time
and settled on Rock Creek. Hauk,
being so far out from town, plowed a
furrow all the way from home to
Brownville, and, when the load was
too heav3', thought he might once in
a while strike the furrow and hence
get home.
The first school taught was in a log
cabin on Rock Creek, Mineg'a farm,
l3' David Brown, now post master of
Nebraska City, ut $10 per month ; and
Hen. D. Brown is to-day worth not
less than $20,000. Young men, here
i? an example of perseverance and
pluck. Wo could site man3r such
onsen in our totrnklja, o far & wo&lill
is concerned, anch as Julian Baahand,
owner of four improved farms con
taining 040 acres, Laurence Benard,
Higgins, Watkins, and others. There
are five schools in tho township at the
present, and iu which school is kept
Fcven months, on an average, per year.
Glen Rock ha3 two good church
buildings, Baptist aud Protestant
Methodist. First church organization
was Methodist; lirsf. sermon preached
was either by J. W. Hall or Elder
Taylor, of Methodist church.
Tho first woman to hold a claim
was Mrs. Delay (French), on the land
on which now stands Hallam's mill.
Quite a number came in 1357 Wag
stair, Watkins, and others. Glen
Rock, in this year, was surveyed and
laid out as a town site.
Hallam's mill was built in 1858, the
second mill in tho county, on Rock
Creek ; was washed out b3' a freshet
in tho 3-par '59 or '60, and was rebuilt
on tho Nemaha, about one mile south
of its former bite. It was washed out
on tho Nemaha, and rebuilt again b3
T. J. Hallam.
About this time Alexander Hallam
and Coats began to bore for coal
on what is now Crippin's farm. Af-
tcr finding indications of coal, au fic
cident occurred. The pump got fast
in the drill hole, the crow bsr was
sent down to loosen it and went to
to the bottom and never came back.
After that abandoned.
In 1858 James-Buchrnan ordered
the land lo bo sold in tbis countj", and
the first pottlers havo no reason to love
or respect him, aa he, the President,
bj' this act caused a great deal of suf
fering to the pioi'.eers. A great num
ber lost their all. Land sharks were
plentj 5 per cent per month legal
rates butter was legal tender. The
writer remembers paying for TirE
AnvEirrrsEit about this time. Ex
Gov. Furnas was proprietor, and to
whom the people of this county and
State owe a heavy debt. There is no
other man who has done so much for
the State aa Gov. Furnas.
Reed, Phillips and Bean have rep
resented us from this town In the Leg
islature ; Allen Phillips as- County
Commissioner.
A company was organized in 1851
for home protection Indians with
out, traitors at home. P. Jtie3er, cap
tain ; Geo. Bean, 1st lieutenant; 3.
WagstalT, order- sergeant.
Politically, Glen Rock is stronglv
Republican. Her present number of
legal voters, 150; population, 661.
I Each school district is its own board,
to manage its ow n local affairs. Wc
have two justices of the peace, two
constables, four road supervisors. It
ha one H. D., Lewis Collins.
Value of property : Thirty-four sec
tions of land, or 21,760 acres, at $15
per acre, $328,-100; 1,280 acres school
land, at 7 per acre, $8,960. Interest
at 10 percent applied for the use of
public schools. It is hard to estimate
the value of pergonal property with
out a deal of labor ; but as an indica
tion of onr wealth, or else an increase
in taxes. UKwmer a nrt uixea were

does not pay it. We do not complain,
on tho other hand havo reason to
thank Providence that wo came to
Nemaha Count3r, Nebraska. The
writer has perhaps had as good an op
portunity as most men of judging.
Havo been east, west, north, and in a
portion of the south. England can
not compare with us except in a few
favored localities. TIb true the locust
did considerable damage in '75 to a
great portion of our county, 3et to-da3T
our prospeot3 were never better for
large crops. So let us be thankful for
all tho blessings wo lravo had, and
trust God for the future.
