To the Voters and Taxpayers

HEMINGFORD.
We reproduce the following
articlo from tho Edgomont Ex
press of April 8.
"Tho various immigration so
cioties in tho wost are calling at
tention to the openings in tna
west, for settlors. In ""Box Butto
county, in northwest Nebraska, and orders are coming in faster
is found a fertile field for tho sot- than they can supply them. They
tier intending to grow up with also handle all kinds of lumber,
the west. A reporter for tho ? Hemingfoud Heuald, a
Express has been over a good bright progressive paper, is edit
doal of this county and tho oujj., ed by Thos. O'Keefe. Ho is a
look for tho coming season is o western man and his papor is
pecially favorable ' ! dedicated to tho building up of
Now that tho third and last Hemingford and Box Butto
I chapter of tho county seat fight
is settled, and the citizens UniteU me meai, aoparuneni ana aiso
for tho county's good, an im-, furnishes ice to tho citizens. Tho
mouse amount of good can bo'paintiug and decorativo work is
done. At Hemingford last Tuos- dono by G. 0. Alexander. H.H.
day tho Alliunco and Hemingford 1 Pierce looks aflor the livery.focd
men met the commissioners, and I and sale stable business. Clark
by the iujluonco of level-headed
mon the conflict was ended. Box
Butte county now has a great
future, and the citizens will take
xy their arms and fight for tho
good of tho county iu every thing,
Hemingford is situated in the
most advantageous part of the
county for a big town. With tho
ground sloping gently from
nchool house hill in overy direc
tion, fine building sites appear.
Already tho town is feeling tho
press of tho good prospects for
tho coming season and will con
tinue to duo so for somo time.
The Herald, in commenting on
Prof. Fonner's speech, says: Tho
professor's brief lecitalof what
ho noticed iu tne way of substan
tial improvements and wonderful
developments of tho horctofore
unnoticod resources of Edgemont
is important to the people of
Hemingford and vicinity, chiefly
because tho same powerful com
bination of brains and capital,
known as tho Intor State Town
site company, controls tho sitos
of both Edgomont and Heming
ford, and tho wonders accon
plished by this company at Edge
-K
mont under tho management of
their able superintendent, AJr. A.
L. Sharrocfc, will be re-onacted
at Hemingford on a grander scale
within tho next fow years.
The above statomont is a solid
fact and tho improvements that
are under way for Hemingford are
great, and tho next two years
will see a season of unexampled
prosperity and growth in tho
city. In mentioning the town
the chief attraction is tho elegant
school houso, standing most con
spicuously on the top of a rise,
and this location will allow of
Ilemingford's educational mat
ters coming first from the very
prominence of tho school house.
The school house contains four
largo rooms and closots and is
two stories high, with a very
completo basement, and by next
winter the building will bjtJ boat
ed by steam. Prof. L. B. Fenor
assisted by Miss Frnzier in tho
intermediate and Mrs. Blahchard
in the primary departments, take
tho lead in tho education of the
young people of Hemingford and
tho school is a most successful
one in every way.
Tho Hemingford Cornot band
of 23 pieces is ono of tho finest
in tho stale, and has taken sev
oral prizes for excellence. In
tho summer evenings tho elegant
band stand is occupied by thoin
and tho citizens are treated to
somo excellent music.
The city is incorporated, Sam
uel Switzer being chiof executive
and is ably supported by a board
of trustees and they are now
planning for some great improve
ments in tho town.
Among tho prominent business
men and bankers in tho city were
uoticed tho following: C. J.
Wildy has got an enviable rep
utation for "dealing in every
thing" and selling at prices with
in reach of all, and his largo bus
iness shows that he is in touch
with the people. G. A. Burlow,
president of tho Box Butte bank,
attends to tho finauciul matters
of tho community. In tho hotel
business Samuel Switzer has tho
Metropolitan, J. T. Pinkerton
tho Piukerton, and M. Shindler,
tiie Farmer's hotel. H. R. Green

as Ihore aro seven denominations

Episcopal, Catholic, Congrega
tional, German Luthoran, Swed
ish Lutheran and Baptist.
Many substantial residences
have been erected, among which

ber, B. F. Gilman, County Treas
urer Miller and many others.'
Tho city is a progressive ono,
and will bo hoard from in tho
future as her citizens are tho
right kind to build to, and as the
seasons pass tho wealth and pros
perity of tho west will gather at
this lively western town of Hem
ingford. Rev. Sharabaugh, of Alliance, is

AliWORTII.
Saturday, April 11th, 189G, at
tho homo of her brother, Patrick
Kinsley, occurod tho death of
Mrs. Maggio Alworth. Tho do
coused had been suffering with
lung trouble for a long time,
which wrys tho prime cause of
hor death. She was born in
Will county, 111., thirty-six years
ago and removed with hor par
ents to Box, Butto county, ton
years ago, where she was united
in marriage to Edward Alworth,
who with three small children
are loft to mourn the loss of a
kind, loving wife and mother.
Tho funeral took place Monday, :
tho sorvices being held in tho
Catholic Church whore an
eloquent and touching sermon
wus preached by Rov. Father
Haley. Mrs. Alworth was a
trno christian woman and was
loved by all who know her. A
largo number of sympathizing
rolativos and friends were pres
ent to pay their respects to tho
departed.
Educational Department.
Tho next examination for pro
fessional life certificates will bo
held by the State Board of Ex
aminers June Q and 10, 1896, at
Crawford, Nebraska.
School in district No. 70 is in
good condition having u large
comfortable building, a bright
group of interesting children, and
an earnest teacher. Miss Purkine
is pursuing the right course in
teaching hor pupils to think.
All teachers interested in plants
and plant study, and all should bo,
may secure a good book on tho
subject by sending address sud
twenty- fivo cents to J. H. Miller,
Lincoln, Nebraska. It is a book
prepared for tho needs of touchers
in Nebraska, by Chas. E. Besbey,
Ph. D.
Democratic skios are brighten
ing. Nothing has made this more
apparent than the visit to Wash
ington of Ee-Secrotary Whitney.
Tho fact that Mr. Whitney is
again taking active interest in pol
itics is of itself a good omen for th
democratic party. His talents as
u hurmonizer huve mver been ex
celled, and they are all to bo used
to unite the democratic party. Ho
believes that if the democratic
party can be united it can casly
defeat MeKinleyi6m, and if Mo
Kinloy is tho republican candidate,
Mckinleyi6m will bo the Ipbuo re
gardless of the platform adopted
by tho St. Louis convention.
