A good many neighbors have gone to the old soldiers' reunion at Cambridge. No bloated monoixily has thus far appro printed our prospective street car lines. John Kuminer has found a new location and will shortly leave , taking his family They give up farming and go into the hole ! business. Benjamin Baker xvill depart , next week for Washington territory where his son Anth ony now resides. The family will remain on the farm this winter , but Air. Carter has it rented for next year. The exodus of neighbors need not be taken seriously. The chances are that there will be too much mud in the new localities ; leastwise nearly every one gets back here in time. Ne braska sunshine wins them all. We could not get our items in , last week , and consequently the new baby belonging to George Uaker and wife did not get a proper send off. She was born August 23d , is a beautiful child and resembles her parents very muli. APPLICATION FOR LICENSE. Danbury , Neb. , September 1,1809. Notice is hereby given that A. L.
