Mr. Montgomery regularly deals out fresh milk to the inhabitants of Red Cloud. Milk delivered every day, Sun days not excepted. Still a few of those "horse books" left. We have sold hundreds of them the past s'x months and they give immense satisfaction. Call and get one. Mr. E. W. Tuttle of Wells, a newly installed J. P. called in and purchased a supply of blanks and also subscribed for the leading paper in tho valley, last Monday. Luther Mick, of the firm of S. Gar ber & Co., Salem Kan. rolled at Chief headquarters last Saturday and "antiod up" the spondulix for the Chief anoth er year. Col. It. G, Ingersoll says that the torments of "hall' aresuffered in this ifc, only. Ho is said to have come to this conclusion while running a oountry newspaper. All of the orphan boys brought out from New York by Mr. J. Q. Potter ex cept tho one who ran away from Mr. Ayers, are said to be very comfortably situated and doing well. People generally, complain of the scarcity of money, and attibute it to the fact that the wheat crop in' this section of the state was a failure last year, which leaves the farmers comparatively little to aell that will bring tho cash. 0. C. Case is very sick again, he was almost bedfcst a week ago, but ral lied and was about again, until last Sun day, when he was eundenly taken werso and during Sunday night it was thought that he cculd hardly survive. George Taylor, we understand, has sold his farm three miles west of town to a Mr. Ovorleos who lately arrived from the cast, and who will move with his family onto the farm at once. George will "go west" and engage in tho cattle raising business. Wo are told that because the editor, of the Argut was on the side that got beat, in the hunt on New Years day, and had to help pay for the supper of the other fellows, he 'got on his ear" and would not publish an account of the hunt as was expected of him. You should pet him boys, he is childish. Our genial young friend, Chas. Ka ley, who has recently entered the matri monial state, weut to housekeeping last Monday. He says that he had no idea that there was so much to do, and so many things to buy on going to house keeping. Tho Judgo is possessed of a good constitution, and we guess will pull through all right. We.learn the old play called the "on ion game" is again coming into use for amusement during the long and cold win ter evenings. The way it is done is about as follows: "Six young ladies go into a room and one of them bites an on ion, tlien a young man is admitted who is to kiss all of them to find out who the onion eater is. If he fails, they all kiss him, and this is kept up until the discevery is made. Then another young gentlemen is introduced, . and 60 on until the stock of onions "is exhaust ed." We have learned that the orphan boy spoken of in the last issue of the Chief, is the one who was placed with Mr. Allen Ayres. It apppears that he was instrumental in starting a prairie fire that did some damage, and become freightensd and left;. He is the oldest boy in the lot brought out by Mr. Potter and has been regarded as the "black sheep" in the flock. No blame iu the matter could possibly be attached to Mr. Allen Ayers, or to Mr. J. Q. Potter who has been a father to the boys. Any one knowing the whereabouts of thislboy, Leman Furry by name, confer a favor by communicating Mr, J. Q- Potter, at Red Cloud. rill with Vice's Floral Quid. This work is before us, aad those who sead five cents i Tatiic Vick, Rochester, N. Y., for it :il k. JarDOUtled.

"wi-i 5Wan elegaw w-ur -judgeqost ica the-pneeof the wou s-i book.- Addrew, atiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiH As an evidcuce of what can , complished in this country, on a farm, by , hard work, we will mention the case of Mr. Wm, Crouch, living on Elm Creek. Mr. Crouch camo to this county in the summer of 1871, and located on the claim where he now resides. All he pos sessed was a second class team, wagon and harness, and le3s than $25. in mon ey, Shortly after locating, one of his hores died andd misfortuaes never come singly, his "dugout" took fire in his absence and burned up. His harness and everything almost that he posessed was consumed. Nothing daunted, however, he gathered together pr cvisions sufficient to subsist his wife and two children for a few weeks, rebuilt his "dugout," made a cart from the front wheels of bis wagon, patched up a harness for his remaining horse, and sought and obtained employ ment on the nearest railroad then being built, here he worked until means was obtained to load his cart with provisions which were brought home to his family, and the stout hearted homesteader re turned to his work on tho railroad. Mr. Crouch finally bought another horse and went to farming his place. Ho has bought and paid for considerable farm machinery and has his farm well stocked with cattle &c. Only a few days ago he bought a farm of 240 acres and will no doubt in a few years be able to retire from active life, with a competency. During all this time, be it understood. Mr. Crouch has not received a dollar of assistance from his "friends in the east" or from any other source, ho has carved out his fortune, as it were, with his own hands, by dint of pluck and pcrsever ence. Mr. Crouch has never been "too poor to take the county paper" but dur ing all those years the Chief has been a regular visitor at his fireside, and has been promptly paid for. Hundreds of homesteaders in this county have had simil ir hardships and privations to encounter, and while a very few have become dispondent and return ed to "the test to drag out their remaining days in poverty on a rented farm, the ma jority have, we arc glad to say, manfully struggled against the hardships incident to the pioneer life, and are now becom ing, perhaps not wealthy; but sufficient ly independent to take life easy in the future, with the satisfaction of knowing that they will not leave their children in poverty, when they receive the summons, and cross the Dark River. COWLES ITEMS. N. D. Foxhasbeen remodeling his ele vator power the past week. He has it all Gxed now and works to a charm, The Base Ball Club met Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. There was some good playing done, and all enjoyed the sport. Mr. O. Everett of the firm of Ward & Everett, has returned from his visit to his former home in Ills. Ho reports considerable mud there. Dr. J. M. Callende'r has concluded to locate here and intends building an offioe soon. We have thus seoured one of the best physicians in the Co. There will be a social party and dance in Ward & Everett's hall Thursday even ing. All are invited, and a good time is anticipated. The Literary Society met Saturday evening and discussed the following: Resolved that Webster Co. acted wisely in voting R. R. bonds. Mr. E. 6allender and Mr. Brigham acted as chief dispu tants, Mr. C. Afirmative and Mr. B. negative, jluc suujecb was weu uiscusb ed by both sides, the judges deciding in favor of the Negative. Mr. D. T. Thomas intends soon to erect an addition to his store building. Mr. T. is full of enterprise, and we wish him success in his undertaking. B. From Inavale. I should write oftener for your paper, could I find news items which would be of general interest. I could do as one of your gentlemen correspondents does, write about myself, I could tell how many loaves of bread I had made, the number of pies I had ba ked, how many quilts I had pieced, and when I intended to clean house &&, &c. All of which would be intensely interest ing to me, but I am afraid it would not be so to your readers. Most of the farmers are jnst finishing heir delaye d corn husking, and beauti ful weather they-bave for it, teo.

Felicity Omo, Jan. 5th, 1880. t Ed. CniEP. Dear Sir. Heft Wash ington Ills, on the 3d of last month and the weather there had moderated some and there was some snow falling, it snowed most of tho time while passing throngh Ills. About midnight it commenced to rain very hard and rained the balanca of the night, and all the next day, and whilo passing through Lafyctto and Indanopolis, the streets wero completely under water. I arrived in Cincinnatti on the 31st, about 10 o'clock A. 31. 1 soon made my way to the boat landing, cccompanied by a hack ru an who I induced to accept a quarter for his services, (raining all the while,) I then went aboard the "Wild wood" a boat owned and run by the Pomeroy packet Co. ) and took passage for Felicity where I arrived about 7 o'clock p. m. and found my brothers glad to see me. Felicity is a very nice town, with 12 00 inhabitants beutifully located on a level tract of land and some very substan tial buildings are erected, and somewhat reminds mo of our western towns, as most every branch of business is representd, there are about fifteen business houses, two stirrup factories, two furniture factor ies, one carriage factory ia, but there is not the amount of business done here that there is done in Red Cloud, one store, alone, in Red Cloud, docs more business than is done in all the gen eral merchandise houses in this place. There are two hotels with an averape of about four boarders each, six physi cians, two attorneys, &c. The main product is tobacco, of which an abundant crop was raised the past sea son, and good prices ca n be had. Prices rango from six to fifteen cents per lb. The land produces an average of $100. per acre. There is an abundance of fruit raised here and consequently I have been hav ing plenty of apples to eat during the long winter evenings. Wheat and corn was good for this coun try, but not a great deal raised of eith er. Fall wheat that is sowed looks very well where the the ground is drained. A great deal of rain has fell in the past two weeks, and tne roads are very muddy, it is almost impossible to get around, on the mud roads, most of the roads are piked, but I have seen more mud and bad roads in the past three weeks than I have seen in Nebraska in sixteen years. I will leave here for Ciroleville this afternoon and will write again. Yours very truly, D. S. HELVERN. Deatisfc7. U. A.
