Seeing that you have correspondents from all parts of tlio county, I thought that perhaps a few items occasionally from this section might be acceptable to the readers of Tin: CiiiK.r. Thompson creek is a tributary of the Republican river, into which it dis charges its never failing supply of clear, sparkling water, at tlio lively town of Iliverton. Tradition tells us that this in Unorigi nal Tompsou creek, so named in honor of its discoverer and first settler, and the owner of tho celebrated colt which gave riso to the saying: "A bigger fool than Thompson's colt." I do not vouch for this but, not having beard it dis puted, I accept it us true history. Our neighborhood, 'though not in Webster county, is just on the western border, a suburb as it were, and within tho circle of which lied Cloud is tlio commercial center. (uite n number of our citiens are former residents of Webster county. S. 11. Polly has just completed and is now occupying a handsome residence on the east Hide of bis largo stock farm.

There nre a number of different kinds of kickers but a chronic luckor h fnr tno worst.

Why it makes mo mad, very mnd Indeed, criticising poor old Lydial why its a shame, ouo who has done bo much for her fellow buings. Methinks I can rco hor now trudging along through tho wood ovor hill and dulo, stopping ever and anon to pull some root, or gather lonves and herbs for that wondorful compound, that grent medicino which has proven such a bless ing to hor so, ) tell you it is a shame, nlthough I hnvn often wondered if it really Is composed of vegetables. I oan't hnrd ly believe it, still it must bo so or Lydia would'nt say so. Now as to St. Jacob, why no otbor oil has ever boon proven such o blensing to mankind ns the (Sreat Apollo Oil, not excepting tho Standard Oil Co.'s pride, keroseno. Why, why.

Tlio old soldiers have returned home from tlio reunion at Superior witli glad dened henrts and heavy heads; still patriotism influences their hearts, and love of country may be seen beaming forth in their "didii't-liavo-miicli-slecp'' eyes. Tlio step of tho old soldier lias been quickened nnd enlivened until his whole soul is a flro with tlio music of the tlfo nnd tho boat of the drum. Onco ngain ho has heard the pure, sweet notes of tho buglo call, which recalled to him tho days long since passed, when it aroused him to his duties, broke his half asleoi moods, or beckoned him to tlio surgeon'fl headquarters, where ho played olf sick and took his quinine until he would rather march and do his duty than to tako his medicino as the suffer ing soldier did, who marched to head iiuarters, with weary steps, sunken eyes, drooping head and a raging fever, from which many never recovered. Many wero the hearts that wero miulo glad as nicy again iieameu lortiniiosoldierlove, us eyo caught eye. hand clasped hand, or side niBpod side, the first time for years. What, though they never met before, they are brothers, and their lovo for a comrade in not concealed, but is on their very finger tips. They are ever ready for a grasp of tho hand, or a word of encouragement for the old soldier. Drave they were; brave they are; bravo they will remain until the angel of time gainers mo last one tor tlio grand re view, on mo portals of Heaven, where peaco and unity, lovo and friendship, truth and beauty abide forever. M. W. N. A Voice From Acrox the .TIoiui- IlllllN. To Tur. CiiiKr: Wo aro alwavs anx ions to get Tiik Ciiikk as it always bringB us news of our old homo and friends, nnd I assure you that it is al ways a welcome visitor. The health or myself and family Is good. Tho old sot- tiers here say wo aro having hot wenth er, but it doesn't seem hot to mo. The sea brcezo starts up about Dor lOo'clock and seems very pleasant to me. There has been no rain hero for three months, yet tno dust doesn t tly, except when somo team or vehicle passes by, and then you know on which side of the road to pitch your tent, for the wind is always tho same way nt tho same timo of day. It is never so hot but what wo can bo cool enough by getting in the shade. There aro no inosquitos to bother, day or night, and the nights nre cool. I used to supposo that in a coun try whoro there was no cold weather there would bo lots of insects, but tlio opposite is the case. Apricot drying is over. They are out, put on trnvs, fumigated and set out in tho sun till dry. So you seo the fogs are not as bud here as wo used to hear they were. Peaches and prunes will bo next; they aro beginning to ripen now. Apples, pears, plums, quinces, tigs, rasp berries, blackberries and strnwherrioB are ripo now. There are some oranges on tho trees yet. There aro bo many kinds of fruit here that I will not trv to name them. Crops of all kinds look wen, aim aoout every Kind that 1 ever saw grow is raised here. There aro no wind storms, bail or tornadoes to destroy lifo or property; no thunder nr lightning to terrorize tho people, and If you do your work well, you aro Hiiro of good re turns. No need of storm caves here. Thore nre no nirencies to insure utainst losses by hail, tornadoes or lightning. Society is good, good schools and good health what else does the human family want : Darley threshing is just in its prime. It is done by atnam. Ono mauhlnn will average nbout 1.J00 sacks per day of 111 pounds each. Ono ranch will have about l.iO.lKX) sacks, it is selling now at 7."ic per 100 pounds. Corn is worth SI per 100 pounds, butter U'.'c, eggs 122c, chickens wi per dozen, horses and cattle aro about a) per cent higher than witli you. ibis is a great place to go camping in lo summer, and there aro nuinorou,a re sorts, both in tho mountains nnd hv thn sea, and ono can live Just as cheap that way as ai uomo. naming in the ocean is all tho rago and it is no uncommon thing to seo oO or 100 in tlio water at a tune, but when I got tired of water, I just go to tho mountains and hunt bees and honey, (sometimes tho bees hunt mo) but I get all the honey I want just tiiosnme.
