The young folks have literary
meetiugs every Friday eveuiug at
the Congregational church, which
are proving very interesting to them.
Essays, declamations, quotations,

generally, are welcomed at these
gatherings.
Clark Cooncey recently returned

proprietors. Hacks and busses leave

Clem Watkins of Polk county,

came to Nebraska twelve years ago
with $3 in his pocket when be landed
in Columbus. He worked for Guy
Barnum three years and a half, and
is now worth some eight or ten
thousand dollars. Guy says this is one
of the many instances where industry
economy and strict attention to
business have brought their due re

About a dozen Columbus men
attended the five-mile race at Bell
wood Saturday. The contestants
were Messrs. Gregg and Hoffman, the
former winning by a distance of 30

but our dozen men walked home
rather that submit to the doubling of
prices by a liveryman. They got
home sometime before mid
night, and were strong along the
road qnite a ways, Backus in the

A Hlel Farm.
Thursday last, for the first time
in several years we visited Hon. Guy
C. Barnum's farm south of the city,
and between the Loup and Platte
rivers. As is well known to most of
the older settlers here, Mr. Barnum
has one of the best locations for mix
ed farming and stock-raising that
there is in the state. There is noth
ing more admirable than a good farm
in Nebraska, and this is surely one
of them. A rich, sandy loam, the
land has been well tilled for years
(but never better, we believe, than
this 6easou and last by Geo. 'E., son
of the proprietor), and everything
showing that though large crops
may have beeu taken from the soil,
year after year, the fertility has beeu
well preserved, because this has been
a place for preparing cattle aud hogs
for market, as well as raising grain
to feed them, aud the "farmer's
bank" has beeu made to do full duty,
as can readily be seen by the clean
corrals and the thrifty crops.
While there is much anxiety in
other states regarding the dry
weather, aud even amoug Ne
braskann, here and there, a little nu
eeainesB as to results, we have seen
in this regiou but little, as yet, to
dishearten the husbandman. On
high table lands, the grass is not so
good as it might be. In feuced fields,
overcrowded with stock, the dry
weather is beginning to tell ; other
wise we see, as yet, no serious draw
hack. Our rich, black loam rests
upon a foundation of gravel aud
sand, evidently the bed of an ancient
lake and permeated with water iu
unfailing quantities. We have never
yet, iu sixteen years knowledge of
Nebraska, known a well sunk into
this gravel, to "go dry," and it is to
this fact, we think, and also to the
peculiar formation of the strata above
it that our. soil everywhere is so ca
pable of withstanding either dry or
wet weather, in the former receiving
its supply from below by the force
of evaporation and capillary attract
ion; in the latter by disposing of
the surplus by attraction of gravita
tion. This fact is very clearly demonstra
ted on Mr. Bamam's farm, where
the roots arc not more than eight or
ten feet from the underlying water,
and here are no indications of dry
weather, so far as the crops are con
cerned ; wheat, oats, corn, Hungarian,
meadow grass, and everything, green
and thrifty, and, when you come to
kick off a half-inch of the surface,
there is the moist earth.
Mr. Barnum's farm is now fenced
so that no herding is done. His
large herd of cattle and horses graze
when they will, without being dis
turbed by a herder and his dogs, and
have free access to water and shade,
and plenty of both. If every hog
raiser in Nebraska could see the way
George has feuced off fifteen acres of
timber near tho bouse for a hog lot
they would immediately set to work
to imitate it, it does its work so evi
dently well, and to tho entire satis
faction of tho hogs. He used Tay
lor's patent fence fastening it on the
trees as posts, and likes it well.
Mr. Barnum may well congratulate
himself upon his choice of location
for a stock-farm, iu every particular,
one of these being the nearest to mar
ket; centrally located iu the state,
Columbus has proved itself a good
market, and now with the increased
facilities at Omaha for shipping and
also for slaughtering, this whole
regiou feels the immeuse advantage
of being only a few hours from one
of the best markets in the world.

Tuesday evening of last week, a
number of young people passed the
evening at Mrs. Jackson's. As she
is a very good friend of the yonng
folks, they all enjoyed themselves
immensely. It being so warm in
doors they adjourned to the yard
among the trees, where it was quite
pleasant. The company consisted of
Mr. and Mrs. A. Anderson, Mr. and
Mrs. Wm. McAllister, Misses Nellie
Canavan, Ida and Clara Martyn,

way, "what a pleasant time we have
had," and "this evening will long be
remembered by us all."

C. H. Sheldon has broke a small
garden patch onliis farm in Bismark ;
we suppose Mr. S. intends to raise
pumpkins and squashes to take to the
state fair next yoar.
The grass is drying considerably,
aud there will be a scarcity of bay
this year unless we soon have rain.
Judging from the temperature of
the weather at pteBent.it seems cal
culated to f-ave the farmers buying
fuel, the thermometer frequently
registering 115s, and sometimes even
more.
Hog cholera seems to be leaving
these parts, as there are not many
hogs dying of late. This is a blessing
to the farmers, which tfltey will
duly appreciate. It did not seem to
be so fatal in its ravages this year as
it was last.
There seems to be a groat deal of
opposition against, and contention
about Township Organization. Al
though this has, in a measure ceased,
yet there is still enough to keep "the
pot boiling." Our version of the
matter is, that in securing township
organization the people are advancing
the interests of the country and
promoting their own welfare. We
know that every citizen would rather
have a good road to haul his grain to
town on, than a bad one. Then why
are they opposed to township or
ganization ? Simply because they do
not see the many advantages to be
gained by it. A couuty will grow
up faster under township organiza
tion thau by auy other mode of ad
ministering to the public wants, that
we kuow of. I do not wish to throw
discredit on the city officials, but
only want to say that those who re
aide in the city do not fully ap
preciate the needs of tho country.

that Mr. Perdue has a cage, we shall

People are just getting rested from
their exertions in celebrating the
Fourth; a great many attended cele
brations both Saturday and Monday,
and we think wo have done the thiug
up in such good shape, that for once
the old eagle will have no cause to
feel slighted. Even those who could
not attend a public celebration would
pause in their labor to meditate upon
the progress of our glorious republic,
aud take a drink of beer. How
plainly we can see the wisdom of our
forefathers in having the Fourth of
July come jnst as the farmers have
laid by their corn, aud it is a little
too early for harvest, thus affording
ample leisure to properly celebrate
so importaut an event. See?

There! it was at Fred. Luckey's,
jr., this time and it's a boy, since last
Sunday ; 9 pounds.
Last Wednesday evening, about
dark a yonng man and woman drove
up to Joe Drinnin's, said they were
moving from Kearney, Nebr., to
Columbus, and that his name was
Oscar Tauny, a barber by trade, and
was going to put up a shop in the
latter place. The lady, he said, was
his wife, and could not stand it to
drive tj Columbus. tha,t uightj they
were permitted to stop. He was very
anxious during the evening, and the
next morning, to sell some cattle, and
horses, that were being driven
through and insisted on his landlord
coming into Columbus- in the aftsr-
noon by the time his stock arrived,
and if he did not bring home two
fresh milch cows and two fine large
yearlings for $35, he would pay him
the money for bis lost day; money
was no object to him, he would give
all the time a man might want.
While hitching up the team, be asked
what bis bill was; "75 cents, ("said
the squire") will make me whole."
"That is cheap," said the woulaf-'be
shaver, "my wife has my pocket
book, I will just go in and have her
pay your wife 75 cents." It leaked
out during the day that she never
paid the bill. As he drove away, he
begged of the squire to come iu
towards evening, as he told tbVnien
to take their time; he thought- it
would bo a little late when they
arrived.

Mr. Loavy, iu his communication
in the Joukkai., "might have said much
more iu regard to school officers. If
the teachers fail to do as well as they
might, it is the fault-in most cases of
the fchool boards in not seeing that
proper books aud suitable furniture
are provided.
Schools are all closed iu this part
of the county. Miss Jones has closed
a successful term in our district, to
scholars and parents as far as we
have been able to learn. She is an
earnest aud conscientious teacher,
and if all are not satisfied it is
because she had the disadvantage of
a diversity of books to work with.
