Ilaving spent the paat three weeks visiting my cousinI' in the Sunflower tate the writer has noticed only slight differences in the cuStOl111 of the peopla but the country is quite a contrast to Central Nehraska. 1t was near this place my father tool { a home- steal in the 70's , Near the old Santa Foe trail I lived in childhood - hood days. One of the most interesting scene8. was a band of Indians riding.siugle . file with tomahawks dangling' by their sieles. A bold chief , distinguished from the others by wearing a coon-skin cap with tail dangling behind , presented 111S credentials at the Nixon homestead. Among other things the chicf be ged was chiclens and flour. but 1nstead he receh'ed a cold lunch such as the common tramp usually gets , Indeed he nnd 111S two companions made quite a feast on what we had left from dinner. My mother seeing the hefltthy appearance of the red men said : "Wh ' don't .otl work" ? 'l'he chief ( swallow- Ing' the last fragment ) said : "Umphl Indian sickl" They then rode slowly awa ) ' carefull ) ' watching our large but harmless dog.Soon Soon after entering' Kansas the rivers arc more numerous and a variety of trees grow along t1u ir banks. Wind-mills gradually disappeared , in its place was the primativc walled 'well with its curb and " 'l'he old oaken buc1et , " usually in ' /c l1S at a 'lepth of from 10 to 60 feet. Numerous springs flow from ledgcs of lime- stone.rock in the can'ons , It has been rather dry here and - - - - \ some of the stockmen fear a partial water famine , especially" 111 ponds n r1 sp.rings Eureka has a natural g'as well which furnishes a limited amount for home use. The upland , as table-land , is chiefly used as pasture. Catalpa trees are successfully - cessfully grown on . the poorer soils. . An eastern capitalist put out a quarter section of catalpa trees some ten ycars ago. He is now selling them in car load lots for posts. His profit is reported at $100 per acre. If catalpa trees can be successfully grown in Nebraska it wouh1 save the farmers - ers a hug ! ' . sum 01 money in a short time. Vast quantities of lime-stone rock is quarried for building purposes or as bal1ast for railroads 11n this aUtl adjoining counties. Most farmers have small apple and peach orchards which .prom- ise a good yield of fruit , this saasoll. , Notwithstanding the fact that Kansas is richer in minerals than Nebraska we arc ahead in rural tcJephoncs in old Custer. .

NIXON. - - - IIF- . . , THE MAN WITH A HOBBY , I confess to having a hobby and my hobby is to sell the best huggy that can be sold for the money and to [ rive you a guarantee that if the buggy is not what I tell you it is I will fix it or refund your money. I have my buggies made after my own specifications and I know what they are made of. By buying' direct from the factory I am able to save 25 per cent over wuat my competitors pay for theirs and consequently am able to sell ) 'O a buggy frum S10 to $20.00 less than they can possihly do. I have just received -r c > Car : L.oadsII ! the latest elTect of the 'factories , all bright and new. There has ncver been shown in Custer county as many buggies under one roof as I will show you if you come in.
