PLEASANT RIDGE. .
C.T.Eller has been cultivating corn for
Frank Everist , this week.
Minnie Harris attended the teachers' in
stitute at McCook , this week.
We are uneasy about our fine crops. This
hot , dry weather some of the corn and cane
is wilting.
If any of you feel bad just start out towards
Kansas and hunt choke cherries. The hiils
and canyons , the ruts in the road , the hot sun
and the dismal scenery all along the road will
surely help your feelings ; if none of these
do , when you find yourself five miles from
water at twelve o'clock , try to ima .gine that
you are all right , and quote poetry.
There is a gentleman in this vicinity who
has more correct political language at his
command than any person outside of the
White House. lie has always been a staunch
Republican , but we heard him say , last .Mon
day , "Hurrah for Bryan ! I am going to vote
for him and help elect him , so that we can
have big cart loads of silver to take to town
to buy groceries with" .
Banksville , you made two mistakes in your
items , last week , and I am surprised at you.
First , you said a young lady and gentleman
of Pleasant Ridge had employment. Now if
you call sitting on the well curb watching the
old iron pump , employment , I don't ; I call
that recreation. Second , there was no team
standing in the field , because it was Sunday ,
and we do not plov on Sunday. Ask Cliff
what made him think that was Saturday.
There was a surprise party at the Freder
ick school house , one evening last week.
The continued school meeting surprised the
Prohibition caucus. The Prohibs got there
first and when the school meeting arrived , the
others thought they had all turned Prohibi
tionists , and such another hand shaking and
rejoicing was never seen before. After a
time matters were explained and an imagin
ary line was drawn in the middle of the house
and both parties transacted business on their
own side of the line.
Tattling Tillie , do jou mean to have a war ?
If so , let us know in time to get ready. Potato
tate bugs was our chosen theme ; 'you objected
and held us up to ridicule ; we got scared and
ventured to say we had plenty of good farm
ers around here ; then you called that brag
ging ; we did not mean it so , but \e will now
say that some of the crops around Pleasant
Ridge are just as good as any in Red Willow
county , and we will hold fast to this assertion.
Come on , Prospect Park , stand up for your
farmers.
I have hunted news both far and near , but
an } thing new I have failed to hear ; the
same old things we hear each day , for the
people are gloomy over this way.
They have worked and toiled it seems in
vain , for the crops must go unless we have
rain ; irrigation is what we need in the west ,
that would make the country one of the best.
We need a nev party to find a new man
to run for president on the irrigation plan ;
Bryan and McKinley are for silver and gold ,
and these are great things we have been told.
We don 't care for money we have the
land if we had more water and not so much
sand ; then stop all this nonsense as quick as
you can and hunt up a president who will
irrigate land.
GERVER.
The farmers have enjoyed a fine week for
laying by their corn.
The Populist primary of this precinct turned
out to be an open free silver discussion.
Lavega Olmstead , who has been working
on a farm near Oberlin , Kansas , for the past
few months , is back home again.
Rev. J. M. Bell was unable to fill his appoint
ment at the Pleasant Prairie school house ,
Sunday , on account of sickness.
The wheat and oats will all be ripe at once ,
and the harvest of the same will commence
in dead earnest about the 12th.
It seems as though no one will accept the
office of road overseer , notwithstanding we
have many good and able men. The roads
are in an impassable condition in many places
throughout the precinct and should be cared
for as quickly as possible.
We "note the death of William Hubble of
Alliance , Nebraska , on July 4th. Mr. Hubble
was at one time a resident of this precinct ,
having settled here in an early day. Many of
his old neighbors and friends are still here.
Mr. Hubble also leaves a sister here , Mrs. N.J.
Johnson.
