Lat Tucday evening we had tho
pleasure of witnessing the first perform

the disadvantages they had to Jabor
under The pronramme was a good and
varied one, and we think it does credit
to our home talent, in (ho Minstrel "biz.
Boney and Sam, the two end men de
sorvo particular notice, they seem to be
well up in the business, as also does the
middto-uian, who is the right man in the
right place. Tho Programme consisted
of ongs and dances, jokes, A:c, the
pieces were : " 600. 000 Years Ago."
"Ilm Demi.i," "The Haunted House.
"New Recruit," "The Rivals," "Black
Statue." The hoy played to a goud
house, and the audience seemed to en
joy themselves hugeiy. Wo will von
hire to say that if they give another en
tertainment it will bo as well attended
as the first.
Da. SMtTn, of Guide Rock, was in

FACTS 0? HAT7S23.
Editob Cfltrr. Probably tone of th -eadtn
of Thk Chikp would like to bear from the to
called "Bachelor Meiert."
Bachelor Diert i a ? mall scope oi country
on tho weft i ide of Webster county, ou the Re
publicen River, taking in all of teetion six. a
pjrt of lection five, town one. and a part of
(ection thirty-one. town two. r.-vnse twelve, in
Welter county, and a part of tcctionon . town
one. racjr-j thirteen rst; in Franklin county.
It mixht seem f traiige to onto perrons to hear
of pcopli living in a deiert. but there aro small
ipaceeic lh dsert of fertile soil. It appear
that the all-powerful Ruler brins everythiuj
around juitricht.
I hare heard it nxirued that there is nothing
en Pirtb but what is here for soino use. acd I
believe it. Koin persons fay that bachelors, a
I-ge a thin ns they fcre. is a nuirancc. but I
sui44 that God know his bainf belter than
omc of the person of this wiy-out wtit know?
it for him.
Those space are too small for the support of
laree fauiliei. conscjucntly I think that so
ninuy of the creeturS called bachelor? were
created on purpose, for tho occupancy o those
spaces, in order to hare the whole of tho coun
try settled up;
I don't so much on bachelors myself, but ns
the saying is, "tell the truth and shame old
Nick." it is better to have the rooJ will of a
dog thaa the bail will; giro the "Jvii hi
duf." even if it takes all the bachelor.
The fit one of those space of which I will
speak, contains 32 acres, is a part of section 5,
town 1. ran i;e 12, wot, and is occupied by Sen
ator Wilson, a robuet stalwart, lisht-h tired
r-andy-whikered. rather quick-tempered good
honest, indnstrinm. cdueated Orangc-stri-ikcn.
bachclo- of about 33Wincrs. Senator Vilfn.
has all ofthirty-tw r.cre under cultivation.
He raised last year 10O bubeh oat. 75 buihols
wheat, 94 buhe's corn.straage to i-ay he fat
tened with n part of the Mme cdrn. fire shoaJji
otuhich h" bii'chiirrd threo at theaje of six
months, which r.vcr.iqed In weigh. 105 pounds
racn. He has on bis premises ttro dwelling
huuees, i!rn-cril, and tho rains of uhen-houso,
t o down Tall of which wh.j cused by a man
trying to burn a fire-break a ouud his ha7 stack
while tho wind was b'owintr a lively gal from
tho west.
Another ono of tboss poductivo spoM con
tain' 'Si Acts3, an 1 is a part of section 31, town
2. range 12. all nf which il occupied by the Rev.
James Knox.
llr'A a mnn of hish rrnufej
Does all thn good Ua can.
This no ouo should deipmo.
For he's a richcoui" man.
Rev. Kncx has all of the 2.1 acres broke out.
and it yielded a crop for him last year of (VO
bushels of corn, potatoes, pumpkin'. iju.ishe?
plenty of just i-uch ttuft" as bachelors ure.
He h.s n fine tiMin of yuunir mules, a T. P. wait
on. 1 k"g, 2 yearlins calves, a cat. dog, et.
He lives i a dug ut at prcsont. but expects o
build n now homo soon, and sell tho dugout for
a post hole.
lht-re is a rosd
that leads from Rot. Knox's
down the canyon to tho ru-nof O. nter Point.

Hants. In the summer lime in pacing the
n you can sec them sitting by the side of
their house tnlkinto yon a.s if they w- re nskii g
you in, but they aro do ill-munacrly tint when
you start for tho h"uo they always no in Erst
and of course yoi woul i turn back. I cuess
from the look, this part of the desert don'tpro
ducc so wo!la. other pi t, thoiiKh it'maybe the
fault of tho creature that lives there. Yes. I
guois th t i rizht the saying is. "you can tell
a workman by his chips." .The pluc is pretty
wll grown up with weeds. There ar 2o acres
of tho productive portion of tho desert, ill
broke, and a good crop of wild sun flWwers
thereupon. It is a pari of the south 4 of norih
cast and fouth $ of i orlhwcst !f of section six
town 1, rango 12. west, and lis a log houoon it
which is railed the residence of (Je rgo W. l)e
Long. Likely you will know him if you see
him, and you uro very apt to see him, for ho
always prowling about somewhere. He is of
medium size, dark hair, dark fur. on hi' chin.
which he c.ills whiskers, dark eyes, dark com
plexion, in fact he looks as though he might
lrivo lived in tho dark agts ; though never
mind. Mr. Roe live' with him. and is hoped
'hat he will nii'o a cr.ip this year that will
briar him out .f the kinks.
There is one solitary cvorgrcc on tho desert
-nim grass widower. Prof. Chapin occupies
one of thoo spaces which contains 12 acres
ha h is it all broke up. a:id raised last year. 2o0
buhe!s ol corn. Hiid other things in proportion
He has one yoke of work cattle, one cow, sev
eral head ofswine. Ho has n log house at pres
ent, bnt ho is going to build a new frame house
soon.
The next residence in rotation, is the solemn
house of Hi;hop Haver. The Hifhop is an cjy.
slow-but-sure. good, hones-, matter-of-fact
bachelor ofthinyone years of age.
Though let him bo so solemn.
He's honos:. just and true.
He'll do tho right wiih every one.
As the world de travels tnrough.
The Hihop says that
Bachi lor he kn-iws is tho best.
Drunken or sober he can go to his rest,
No wife to scold, no children to b-awl.
So happy is mau.who keeps Hschclor'dllall,
'fhu Bishop's favorite song is:
31 y wife will-npithT c urn nor scrub.
She's wont and joined the lazy ciuW.
Leaving jokes, and going to tho Facts of Mat

A 7ISIT TO 7IAXSXJS C0IT7.
Early in the present week we cut
we cut loose from the cares of business
nnd took a trip to Franklin, tc see and
learn what wc could of our sister county
of the Valley.
Ou- route lay up thJ magnificent bot
tom lands bordering the Republican, un
til Riverton. in Franklin coun'y was
reached. This thriving little villiaee i
beginning to wake up to the importance
of he- situation, and a soon a" spring
opf'ns there will be a large number of
building' erected. From Riverton west
ward, the highway passe? over some
hilly, but very fertile count ry, for two
or three mile?, and then strikes one nf
finest section of prtiitie to be found in
the Slate. The surface is smooth or
gently undulating prairio, well watered
with beautiful streams of pure water, at
intervals of from one to two miles apart.
The country along the valley is noarjy
all taken up by settlers, except what be
longs to the different railroad companies,
having an interest in the county. A
number of the settlers have improved
their claims to a considerable extent,
now have fine farui3 in a good state of
cultivation. ' .
Ten miles west of Riverton, and in
the center of the county, is situated the
town of Franklin, thd preent county
'Cut of Franklin country. The progress
of tlii town ha- b-jen retarded tome
what by a contest for the covinty seat,
between itself aud Bloomingtnn This
jie-tion will have to be settled before
long, and then if permanently located at
Fianklin, the town will rapidly improve
The .situation is a beautiful om next to
Red Cloud, the finest in the "V alley.
Located on a level l'iich of upland
prairie, a fine view up and down tho
VsiHcy, and of the country on thj south
side of the river, can be had at a glance.
The fir.it tiling of importance to us,
in the place, (for we were feat fully hun
gry) was the
RUCK nOL'SE,
kept by George Buck, Jr., who ia as
genial, whole-souled and hospitable a
landlord as the whole valley affords. Mr
Buck has a large interest in the town
site and was one of the early .settler in
the county. We commend his house to
all who like good fate and accommodt
tious. TINICHAM rros.
have a fair stock of merchandise, con
cisting of everything needed in the
country, and aro doing a good business
judging from appearances. We priced
several articles of staples, nnd fiud that
goods are cheap there as in many places
of greater pretensions, and more com pes
tition.
E. NUULEY
has a stock of groceries which he deals
out to all callers at living rates.
II. Patter-on is running a Boot & Shoe
Shop, and the iron business is represent
ed by V. II. Hanson and M. B. Worth
ington. .MILS. 3IARY ASHRY
is keeping a first class boarding house.
Mr. R. L. Beavers has a good steam
saw mill in close prrximity to the town.
D. L. Ashby, Esq., has lately settled
in the place and will take up the leg il
profession. Mr. Ashby is a gentleman
of experience and education, and will be
a real acquisition to tho county.
We alno formed the acquaintance of n
iargc number of citizen?, among whom
we may mention J. A. Perry, the oblig
ing and efficient county clerk ; J. E.
Simmons, Co. Treaurer, L. M. Moid
ton Probate Judge ; C. B. Childs,
School Supt.; T. F. A-hby, Surveyor;
Dr. Weton, and others. Also Mr.
James Greenwood, who has a choice
claim near town, and who was we be
lieve, the first settler in the county.
Mr. Buck, with the obliging manner
for which he is noted, kindly hitched up
his team and gave us a whirl up the
road for four and a haif miles, where we
found the town of Blooniiqaton, and we
made a call on the Guard. Bro. Huff
man is working at a disadvantage, but
succeeds in gcttinc out a neat, lively
paper, which deserve all the patronace
it can get. We saw and pished a. few
words with Mr. Calhoun, formerly editor
and publisher of the Brnwnville Demo
crnt, but at pre-ent engaged in running
a steam saw mill.
Onr time was limited, nnd we had trt
return, without learning much of any
thine about the business and prospects
of the place. At Franklin we were
obliged to remain a couple of days,
which passed plca'antly, and finally
found ourself back at Red Cloud, which
still suits us a well a any place.
At some future time wo hope to be
able to write up our neighboring county,
at greater length, and in better syle.
The county is as rood as any in the Yal
ley, and is rapidly ftlline up with the
right kind of men, and our experience
in that direction ha. thus far been very
pleasant.
TnE Rev. Mr. Riley will praach at

Jas. Alexander left yesterday for
his o d home in Yilli-ca, Iowa. We

Harmony, called. He thinks his locality
the best in the world, and he is about
richt Harmony precinct does contain
some of the best land in the county.

At ail times we are willingand ever
anxious tc receive and publish communi

Thjs is nccessiry in order to represent
the county instead of any one locality.
LBut, we mu.-t cnler a protest against
communicotians beiti.uf strung out to an
inordinate length. We have made men
tion of this subject several times, and
now wish it to hafuVy understood that
communications vivit be kept inside of
proper bounds. Five closely written
pages of commort note paper, cr three
pages of large letter paper is the outside
limit as to length, and if enough 'cannot
be said in that spaco make another arti
cle. We are thankful for favors of the
kind, but arc compelled to request that
letters for publication be short.
We are glad to state that our sub
scription list has been rapidly increasing
during the last month." We arc making
preparations to discard the "patent"
outside and in a month or two will en
deavor to publish the cntiro hcet at
home.
