J Introduction : Prosperity Val- ley is a fine undulating flat valley lying just west of the sand hills in the western part of Cherry county about 12 miles east from Gordon , Sheridan county , and 6 miles south J from Irwin , Cherry county and 2 miles north of the Niobrara river. This place comprises a small tract of this vast area of Cherry county and is one of the most "garden spots of Eden , " which can be found in the western part of Ne- braska , and of which the resources and advantages are unexcelled. The people that comprise this com- munity are one of the most gener- ous hearted and benevolent class that can be found anywhere ; also a clean and prosperous class. The bright sun falls heavily down upon the earth and causes the domestic crop to shoot forth and spread its-foliage abroad. Corn and oats are making great headway , potatoes are all bloom- . ing and in fact all crops in this vicinity are strictly up to date. Better prospects neVer existed be- fore in the history of Nebraska. The HBig" 11m" pulled off their big time the 3rd. .Everything proved well. On the dawn of morning the mist' and rain was very dense but about 9 a. m. the clouds cleared away ' and all turned bright. The crowd began to gath- er and about noon full 500 persons had gathered together to celebrate the freedom anniversary of our country. Before noon a neat and well ordered program was turned out. Hon. I. M. Rice of Valen- ] entine delivered the oration and did full justice to the occasion. Upon his close cheer upon cheer ! was given which gave vent to the feelings of the people. After noon horse races , ball games and num- erous foot races was indulged in providing'a program 'until dark. After that time ; a grand display of fireworks was the order. When \ . , . - .

Ira Johnson is doing carpenter work for VY m. Beamer this week building a new barn. I George Beamer had the mis- I r fortune to have a herd of Peter Thorsen's cattle get in his corn field and do serious damages which , Mr. Thorsen squared up right. I Grant Warren from Kelly Flats passed thru the Valley enroute to Gordon Tuesday to do some trad- . ing. Fred Janssen passed through the Valley Wednesday going to the south hills. A. oberts is building a new house. CZAR. Lincoln News Letter. For the first time Nebraska will vote for candidates for the nomina- tions for officers under an open primary. When the voter asks for his ballot he will not be given a republican , a democratic , or oth- I er party ballot but he will be giv- en a sheet upon which are all the , candidates under their separate party heads. Then he is at liber- ty to vote any ticket he desires. He must , however under the law , confine his voting to one political party. He cannot vote for one candidate on one ballot and . then skip over and vote for someone else of another party. Should he do this his vote will be lost. U n- der this law it is possible for a life long democrat to vote in the re publican primary or the reverse. Friends of the measure which was passed by the late legislature in- sist however that very few voters wil get out of their regular party. Others are fearful that one party I will endeavor to nominate weak candidates on the opposition tick- . , I. . . . - ' . : . \ ' , - " . ; - k. - " , ; . . 1 . . , ! , : . . , ' . ; , -I ( ' . . . _ 4 . _ . , - \-f Jy- " " " - r- - . . . , - - . .d I let.
