Crawford Tribune. About a dozen of Mrs. Ludwig's friends treated her to a very neat surprise party yesterday afternoon , the occasion being her sixtieth birth day. Several nice gifts were pre sented the surprisee , and a pleasant time was enjoyed by all who were fortunate enough to attend. Joe Desert , one of the old timers in this locality but for the last few years one of the prominent sheepmen of Casper , was in town the first of the week renewing acquaintance with his many friends. Joe has gone out of the sheep business after cleaning up a nice little pile of money. Sheepmen are slowly but surely working east , but we do not believe they will ever superccde the cattle men in Cherry county. There are undoubtedly many good locations for sheep in this county , but to our mind the country is pre-eminently a "cow country' ' and will ever remain so. We met Jim Peck , who has a ranch 29 miles north of Cody , on the train last Tuesday morning. He was ac companied by his two children , who have been attending school heie. He said Rushville has a number one school , and expressed his apprecia tion at the progress his children had made there. Rushville Recorder.

Ivony , J. B. Marsh and J. S. Carpenter , Des- Moines ; Geo. Tampen , Lincoln ; D. Holder , St. Joe : W. C. Parks , Cedar Rapids ; and to say that they were a gay and festive lot of people is to ex press it mildly. Nothing was too good for them and , we came near saying , nothing too sporty for their constitutions. We wish the county could build a bridge every month. The citizens of Valentine met in regularly called convention in the county judge's office last Saturday afternoon and nominated the follow ing for village trustees : P. F. Simons. E. Sparks. T. C. Hornbj. D. S. Ludwig. C. H. Cornell. This ticket has twice before been voted upon , and was twice elected , and we believe the voters of the vil lage are eminently satisfied with the ivork the board has done for the town. All these gentlemen take a f reat interest in their work , and our town can do no better than by re flecting them. Up to date no other ticket is in the field , but we are told j f that one will be filed Saturday. j ou > t wol o o out a/M > o 14 ; e wot-to we ate -H > OH > GENERAL MERCHANTS Ml ? . .
