Tribune Publishing Company, Falls City, Nebraska, lentlemen: As a "wayfarer" whose earliest recollections are of Rulo, where my father with his family lived for a time in 1866-7,. his residence being continued in Richardson -ounty, near Falls City, for several years there after, I am greatly interested in the "Reminiscences of a Wayfarer" now being published in The Tribune. The pleasing style of the writer in leading up to and weaving his fa-ts into a story impresses me with the thought that if he has ever fol lowed any other vocation, he has missel his calling. He is -ertainly to • . ; i graph! • history of Ri 'har s n u unty, an i s , hi story would be of unusual value as the record of an important part of our great state, I trust that his reminiscences may be extended to -over a 0 re -ital of every important event and step of progress, in and by the county up to the present time. It is needless to say that I shall each week eagerly look forward to a perusal of this feature of your paper. Wishing The Tribune the greatest success, and with highest regards to its publishers, I am, Sincerely yours, (Signed), W. H. HARRISON. MARRIED Popular Young People Get Married at Du Bois. Neb.

DEATHS REPORTED TO US TWO UNEXPECTED DEATHS IN THIS COMMUNITY During the Week the Cold Hanl of Death Takes From Three Homes the Mother Mrs.Pink Belli' Prichard after an illness covering only o n e week died at her home north of town Wednesday morning. She was a victim of blood poison and her suffering was intense and all that doctors and friends could do was done but she rap idly grew worse. This young woman whose death has made necessary the preparation ot this sketch waa born ill) years ago in Cass court, ty, Illinois. She came to this county 2a years ago and on Dec. Bo, 1*117, she was married to George Prichard. To this union two sons Harry and Guy were born, one is lo and the other s years old. Besides a husband and two sons she leaves a father, .1.8. Bloomer of Mario, Okla , and a sister, Mrs. Fanny Guinn. We can ill afford to lose a woman like Mrs. Prichard. Ti n true extent of the loss is one of those things which cannot be measured by any huinan system of computation. It is enough for us to know that God in his great wisdom has seen tit to re move her from our midst and call her to her reward. The husband and two sons, who survive her have no lack of sympathy. Their sorrow is great and those who mourn with them are many and are sorry be cause they can tind no words that bring comfort or consolta tion to the bereaved ones.
