A Plow Factory Among the many
institutions that have been suggested
for the benefit of Red Cloud, none
would be more beneficial than a plow
factory There would be a great de
mand for such articles in this and ad
joining counties, and as they could be
made as cheap, if not cheaper, than
they could be sold by middle-men, one
would Inaturally infer that the
institution would afford a good paying
and profitable investment for any man
or company that would manufacture
agricultural implements in our city
We have the best of facilities for their
manufacture, and as our town is locat
ed in such a position as to command a
trade of this character for a great many
miles, it would certainly pay any man
of experience and capital to locate-
here for the purpose their "of manufac
ture. A splendid trade could be es
tablished here without much trouble.
Our city is three hundred miles from
Denver, and Kansas City, and about
two hundred miles from Omaha, and is
located in one of the most fertile agri
cultural regions in the west. There is
a good opening then for some enter
prising man in this city to make mon
ey in this particular business.
TnE Webster county Teacher's Asso
ciation met at Blue Hill, Saturday,
January 12. The program as published
was carried out. Miss Zuella Wilson
conducted her class nicely and was
very interesting. Mr S: K. Logan's
essay on the needs of the grammar
class was very good and contained
many excellent thoughts. Miss Brown-
sou's essay, Method of. teaching inter
mediate geography, was excellent.
Miss White's recitatation deserves
credit and was appreciated. Mr. Grif
fith Evans essay on the methods of
Welsh schools was very interesting
and 'was listened to with marked at
tention. The next meeting will be
held at Red Cloud, Feb. 9, 1884, pro
gram as follows :
Decimal fractions, Mr. J. L. Springer.

What has become of our Burr Oak
railway scheme ? Has it died, or is
sleeping? Red Cloud Chief.
It has collapsed, ascended the tin
tube, gone up long before its birth If
you will talk B. and M. branch, then
we'll send delegates to meet your dele-
fation every other day. JBiirr Oak

We "weally cawn't do it," brethrenl
We want all we've got, and are striving
to get all we can. You see, Mr. Herald,
that in "this great and glorious climate
of Nebraska," railroads go where it will
do them the most good, and therefore,
it is only a question of time when the
Burr Oak road will come to Red Cloud.
Do you tumble, jedge.
We clip the following item from the
Blue Valley Blade, Seward, Neb. We
appreciate the kind words the more,
from the fact, that Bro. Betxer and
ourself "picked type" on the same pa
per for a number of years:
Mr. A. C. Hosmer, who recently
purchased the Red Cloud Chief, has
enlarged the paper to a six-column

GRAND LMAP TSAR BALL.
The ladies of Bed Olonel, hafing de
termined to take advantage of the
privileges allowed them by a time hon
ored rule of etiquette in reference to
leap year, inaugurated their initiatory
entertainment last Monday evening, at
which time and place they gave a
grand ball and banquet to their gentle
men friends. The ladies invited the
gentlemen, and acted escort to the
scene where the Goddess Terpsichore
was holding forth. It was one of the
very pleasant events of the season, and
extremely satisfactory to their guests.
The following perrons were in attend
ance:
Mrs. Morris and C. W. Kaley.
Mrs. Bloom and V. M. Piatt.
Mrs. Piatt and Frank R. Gump, J.
Warner.
Mrs. W. H. Strohm and J. G. Dodd.

Miss Yeiser and Wm. Diekinson.
Miss Mamie Piatt and R. D. Yeiser.
E. M. Perkins.
Miss Sadie Becker and John R.
Shirey.
Miss Gertie Sherer and D. Kaley.
At a proper hour the ladies invited
their guests to a sumptuous banquet
served a la Amerieain, at Lauterbach's
restaurant, after which the ladies and
guests returned to the hall and made
merry until the small hours. The ball
was a decided success.
WALNUT CREEK.
A week or so ago you published a
communication from "S. W. Corner,"
giving amount of sorghum syrup man
ufactured in this precinct. The
amount manufactured was consider
able, notwithstanding the fact that
there is no market for it except for
home consumption. Now wo all
know that sorghum does well iu the
Republioan valley, and if there was
a cash market for the product sor
ghum would soon be our leading crop.
The question arises, why ean't we have
a sugar refinery? and why can't the
business men's exchange, of Red Cloud,
take hold of the matter and push it
through? The farmer's prosperity is
the merchant's, and they should start
the ball rolling. Let them get the re
finery and we will "raise Cain,"
Ubet.
ELM CREEK.
Everett, infant son of Mr. and Mrs.
Patrick, died last week of diptheria
and lung fever. There are several
other cases in this neighborhood.
.The Sabath school at Elm Creek was
reorganized last Sunday. W. H. Thom
as wae elected superintendent, Joseph
Chambers assistant, Samuel Chambers
secretary and trustee, E. Furgerson
and E. Beal choristers.
Farmers are complaining about
their hogs not doing well during the
cold weather. Tommy Chambers has
lost about thirty head of hogs in the
last two weeks with cholera.
The youngsters are preparing for a
large exhibition at the close of Miss
Arnold's school.
A race came off the other day. A
man about seventy years old gave a
hog such a race that it took cholera a
short time afterward. The man is not
any the worse for the race. Taw.
INAVALE.
The corn is at last gathered, and ev
ery crib is filled. Great piles of golden
ears are heaped up-on 'the ground on
nearly every man's farm.
A spelling match was held at the
East Inavale school house recently.
Mr Burris had the honor of being the
champion speller.
A protracted meeting is now being
held at Mt Hope, Rev Jacob Martin,
assisted by Rev John Harvey, officiat
ing. The Rev Ball is also trying to start
a protracted meeting in the Inavale
school house In this he will probably
not succeed, as the people of Inavale
are not easily "Balldosed"
Mr Charles Severn had the misfor
tune to break his leg last week He
was 4o haul a log across the river, and
as the log reached the bank he tried
to throw a hand spike under it He
was caught between the log and the
bank and his leg was broken between
the knee and ankle Dr Mosena ie fat-

Mr Finley Hale is intending to start

We noticed the other day that Fatli
er Norris brought home a $125 buggy,
bought of Spanogle & Funk. We alsa
saw Mr. and Mrs. Norris trying their,
new buggy.
We understand, from good authori
ty, that Willow Creek is to turn out
two weddings soon. We hope, to be
able, with our editor, to help eat the
cake. Jackson, give us an invitation.
The farmers in this precinct are gen
erally done gathering corn, Tho
yield is splendid,
Mr. S. Burner's corn yielded about
70 bushels per acre of a large and fine
quality.
The. query in this country at pres
ent is whether tame grass will prove
a success or not. It is settled in my
mind. If you please, go aud examine
S. Bruner's grass of three years growth.
Blue grass, timothy, clover and or
chard grass. Examine. W. H. Barcus
clover and timothy that was sown last
April.
James C. Barcus, of Indianola, was
down this week visiting his brotner and
family.
If you wish to see the squarest Hol-

We beleive that F. .Shular has the
finest grove in Webster county. Ho
has 40 acres of trees that have been
planted for six or seven years. They
are from 25 to sixty feet high, and the
walnut trees bore last year.
Mr. Jones says this county beats the
world on corn and oats. Iowa for cold
weather and Nebraska for big corn.
We were up and examined Thadua
Ornal's new residence. It would be an
ornament to any farm in any country.
Father Ornal is rather feeble this wint

AMBOY.
Amboy is liable to become the larg

The millers of Amboy have been

On Sunday there was an unknown

The teacher has given entire satis

COWLES.
Aud still they come and yet there is
room for more. A gent from the east
has purchased the Fisher farm, east of
Cowles. We did nor learn his name.
They are fixing up the grain elevat
or at this place They are taking out
the old and putting in a new steam en
gine. Granpa Teal's latest inprbvement is
a new hog pen, in which' to keep his
porkers. We like to live by such en
terprising neighbors. Enami.
