ELM CREEK.
The cold weather has kept the news
from spreading. It has been rather
severe on cattle and hogs that had no
shelter. Farmers have got away with
a good many bushels of corn during
the cold snap. A good many of them
had to burn corn for fuel.
Joseph Burr had a cow killed by the
others hooking her.
A protracted meeting is to com
mence at the Elm Creek school house
Rev. Brown and Rev. Brittin are to
conduct the meeting.
E. Beal's school will close next Fri
day. Nellie Arnold's school has closed.
She gave general satisfaction.
The exhibition at Elm Creek school
house was a. success. The speakers
and performers were J. Beal, H. Beal,
C. Beal, W. Peck, Bert Conrad, Isaac
Thomas, Wayne Beal, Ellsworth
Thomas, Sam Chambers, E. Ferguson,
Nellie Arnold, Nettie Arnold, P. Thom
as. Ella Beal, Gertude Thomas. The
exhibition is claimed by the old folks
t be the bes one they ever saw, east
or. west. Taw.
WHEATLAND.
Another change in our ever chang
ing clime has overtaken us, bringing
its certain results, which at the pres
ent time has assumed the form of an
epidemic cold, attended by rheumatic
pains throughout the system.
Mr and Mrs Hall have been confin
ed to their beds for several weeks.
Old Mrs. Budlong was buried last
week She had been sick for several
months.
School has been somewhat reduced
by the general illness of the children.
Some person who prefers making
law to U6ing it shot one of M. Patter
son's mules and caused a loss of one
eye.
Mr. Taylor and family are going to
Minden to contribute their mite to
wards building up that enterprising
town.
Mr. Patterson has just returned from
Grand Island. He did not purchase a
farm, but has just sent ofT 10 fat hogs,
averaging 280 pounds, at $5.60.
School closes in eight days, when the
teacher will take a flying trip to Sunny
Kansas, and returning will take up his
abode on the Dudley farm for the com
ing year.
A protracted meeting has been pro
gressing in the Runey school house for
the past two weeks, but with what suc
cess we cannot say. Next Sunday at
11 o'clock is the next appointment.
GUIDE ROCK.
Since our last report there has been
quite a shipment of fat hogs from this
point.
Judging from the vast amount of
lumber shipped to our town we are
evidently going to enjoy a season of
great and substantial improvement.
A number of transfers have been
made in real estate during the past few
days to Eastern men who will become
actual settlers.
Mr. Shugart, our real estate broker,
is again at his post, and it would seem
has increased rather than diminished
his former energy as a business man.
Mr. S. has taken one of Michigan's
fairest daughters "for better or worse"
but of course for better and con
gratulations are in order.
Mr. Phillips, of Iowa, is visiting his
brother here, and is a very pleasant
gentleman indeed, and a lawyer of
fine ability. He conies with a view to
locating in our couuty.
The anniversary of the birthday of
the immortal Washington will be cele
brated here in royal style- Both halls
will resound with merry music, and
merrier voices of Guide Rock's elite.
Who has been deputed to descant up
on the oft repeated story how impossi
ble it was for little Georgie to tell a fib,
this deponent sayeth not.
March 1st Mr, Chaffin will occupy
the new law office now in course of
erection one door east of "red front."
Building is twelve by twenty, divided
into two rooms. Just the thing.
Our hotel and restaurants are doing
a big business. Last Saturday Mr.
Grubb had 75 persons to serve at din
ner, while Mr. Montgomery did his
share and. the Morgan House ditto.
How does that strike you?
We fear that an item of a sensation
al character must be chroqiclcd in our
next report. Rocket.
INAVALE.
Judging from the weather of the last
few days it would seem that the ground
hog evidently knew his buisness, when
she retired for six weeks.
Spelling matches are all the rage
now there are three to be held in this
community in the near future.
The Hon. W. J. Vance is expected
back about the first of March.
Mr. John Rise, of whom mention
-was made in our Inst communication
in regard to returning to Iowa, tells us
that we have been misinformed, and
that he has given up returning and ex
pects now to stay with us, and will
probably buy one of W. F. Smith's
ranches.
The series of meetings at Mt. Hope
-which have been conducted for the
last four weeks by the wonderful cow
boy preacher, were closed last Sunday
evening by Presiding Elder Daris.
Tbey were rewarded in the r efforts by
bix or eight new converts.
The Rev. Mr. Ball held forth at West
Inavale until a late hour of the night,
it is said.
A little daughter of A. C. Hale has
been lying for some days at Death's
door, but is now getting better under
the care of Dr. Weston, of Riverton.
Mr. C. W. Springer was seen among
-us Monday, visiting schools as usual.
There seems to be a growing aver
sion to creameries all over the coun
try. As Mr. J. O. Chamberlain is con
stantly receiving letters from all over
the country, asking him to come and
start a cheese factory. The people on
the south side of the river from Red
Cloud have even offered to build the
building and give him fall rent.
The time is not far distant when
cheese making will be the best paying
kidustrv of the Republican valley.
