coming year.
W. F. Morgareidge and wife

D. A. Hancock and family , of
Marshall , Mo. , who also have a
ranch here , have been in town
the past week.
Professors J. W. Searson , of
Wahoo , and W. H. Gardner , of
Auburn , are instructing in our
teachers' institute.
Ben J. Pays writes us from
Clealum , Wash. , that he has set
tled at that place and wants the
DEMOCRAT sent to him. It goes.
W. H. Hooper , of north table ,
came to town with a smile on his
face last Saturday. It rained ,
you know , since the editor re
turned home.
T. F. Donohue , representing
Jackson Higgins & Co. , of Oma
ha , spent several days in and
around Valentine the past week
looking for fat cattle.
Frank Ashburn and T. Ram- tl
berg brought in eight cars of cat tla tla
tle Monday and shipped to Jack a
son Higgins & Co. , commission
firm of South Omaha. u
G. W. Burge spent a few days
in town the latter part of last
a
week. He now claims to be a
resident of our town though he .
spends some of his time on the
ranch yet.
Jesse Brosius and Ed. Soles s
were in town Saturday from n
AlexCharbonneau's ranch , where
they have been stacking hay but
had a short vacation on account
of the rain.
A. K. Kuskie , of near Sparks ,
brought in two hogs last Monday
which he sold to J. W. S tetter at
6c per pound. One of the hogs a
weighed 450 Ibs , which makes
$27 , the price ardinarily of a cow.
The other hog weighed 285.
S. N. Moses and family and B.
J. Hoffacker and sister , of Sim
eon , came to town last Saturday
to spend a few days together be
fore Miss Hoffacker started for

joyed a two months' visit at the
ranch with her brother and Mr.
Moses' family. .
Wm. Gulick , of Wood Lake ,
came up last Thursday to trans
act business with the county
treasurer and to enjoy a day of
rest and recreation. We acknowl
edge a pleasant visit and another
dollar on subscription.
Dr. Wm. Winder departed for
Omaha last Thursday morning ,
where he will try to regain his
health. The Doctor is remarka
bly strong for one so advanced
in years and having endured so
many hardships.
In speaking of the coronation
of King Ed the State Journal says
he bore his part in a manly way.
There are at least a dozen men in
Valentine who would go through
the same performance in a man
ly way for Ed's job with its sal
ary and perquisites.
A. B. MeAlevy. of Kennedy ,
was in town last Friday after
supplies.x It is interesting to
some of the people down east to
hear of men driving forty and fif
ty miles in this country for sup
plies and some of them often
making the drive in half a day.
The new lodge of the Fraternal
Union of America now has fifty-
fur new members and applica
tions are pouring in. It threat
ens to become one of the largest
lodges in town in a very short
time. Mr. King , the organizer ,
treated the crowd to an ice cream
supper.
Daniel Fowler , of north table ,
came in last Thursday and hand
ed us another dollar on subscrip
tion. He can see the advantages
of living in this country and when
crops are laid by and there's
nothing else to do to earn money
on a farm there is always some
freighting to do at fair prices.
W. D. Morgareidge and son
came up last Friday to get some
necessary articles preparatory
o
to moving to western Idaho ,
\
where he expects to make his
future home on a nice fruit farm
which he has purchased there.
They will move in a couple of
weeks. It is with regret that
the DEMOCRAT chronicles the
moving of this estimable family
from our county and state. We
had hoped that he would remain
in Cherry county after selling
his ranch.
Our city water works needs
the attention of the town board.
The tank is not in pood repair
and from now on will require
considerable expense to keep it
up. The posts are beginning to
rot and the foundation is giving
way. There is a good place for
reservoir to be built of stone
and cement on the hill north of
the j electric light plant which
would be permanent , lasting and
furnish the city with a greater
supply of water and considerable \
more pressure in case of fire.
It will be safe and the water will
be better.
An Indian with a jag and a
balky team created considerable
amusement on the street last Fri
day afternoon. He had a heavy
load of merchadise on his wagon
and a heavier load of extract of
sod corn under his shirt and
when he reached the sandy spot F.
in front of Geo. Hornby's he T.
dropped his bottle and when he
had recovered it the team refused
to pull. Another Indian hitched
his team on and pulled him out of
the sand and the last seen of the
noble red man and his jag they
wese making fast time toward
the setting sun and the whip do
ing double duty. 'He was heap
