A large and very appreciative audi
ence greeted J. H. Reed Monday even
ing at the Congregational church, and
they were amply repaid, being treated
to the most interesting lecture we ever
heard. After giving a brief sketch of
his journeyings in Enrope, he devoted
the main portion of two hours to a de
scription of Pompeii and Herculaneuro,
the buried cities. The magic lantern
views make everything clear and plain,
and Mr. Reed, in the two hours of his
very interesting lecture gave only facts
as they were presented to him. The
Joubnaii hopes that the lecture will be
repeated at the opera house, and that
everybody may come out to hear the
always interesting story of the buried
cities and to see the buildings, the
streets, the places of business and pleas
ure as they have been uncovered in
these last few years.
A. L. Bixby of Fullerton has sold
his interest in the Nance County Senti
nel to Mr. Barber of the Journal, who
will consolidate the two papers under
one head. Brother Bixby is a good
newspaper man, enterprising and all
that, but the field was not large enough,
nor the patronage extensive enough for
so many papers, and the inevitable had
to take place some time, and one of them
cease to try to make a half-living by
double work. The main support of
local newspapers must necessarily come
from the advertisements of business men,
and where these are not forthcoming in
cheerful abundance, the situation be
comes so strained that something has to
break, soon or later. In such cases "die-,
cretion is the better part of valor," often.
Our friend Bixby has certainly been
discreet.

was a case of love at first sight, a brief

One day last week somebody tore
down the fence at the southeast corner
of Guy Barnum's pasture, leaving it so
that a great deal of damage might have
been done, as the whole herd of stock
could have got out of the enclosure, and
done more damage in a few hours than
the opening could possibly have been of
good to anybody for any purpose, in
seven years. Mr. Barnum has been
greatly annoyed by hunters shooting
within his enclosure, as it frightens stock
and aukea them wild, and he has rjosi-
"tfvely forbidden it. He will punish any
one trespassing, to the full extent of the
law. For this particular meanness, the
breaking down of the fence to get into
the enclosure, Mr. B. expresses himself
in the strongest terms, and it would not
be good for anybody to be caught in the
act by Mr. Barnum.

work on the building will commence
soon.
Some time ago some talk was going on
among our farmers about buying a
road-grader for this district, and some
parties seemed to be in favor of its pur
chase to a considerable extent. At our
last township meeting the question was
brought up and discussed. Several of
our more level headed citizens explained
that such a machine could not be used
to any advantage in a hilly country like
most of our district is, and after the
farmers found out how many teams it
would require to run the grader, every
one refused to sacrifice his horses for
such purpose, even those who were the
most anxious for the purchase. A vote
was then taken on it which resulted
"against" the concern by a big majority,
and we hope the road grader scheme will
be a matter of the past.

Corn planting has commenced.
Farmera are ahead of time with their

Cold snaps in the months of May and
June are predicted; we will stick to
the flannel nndershits until they stick
tons.
Several of our citizens in the neigh
borhood think of going to the old
country on a visit this summer, and by
the way take a glance at the world's ex
position and the Eiffel tower at Paris.

At the last annual meeting of the cit
izens of Butler township it was decided
by an overwhelming majority to aban
don the Platte river bridge at Duncan,
and will not rebuild the aame nor any
part thereof. The sentiment of the
present generation and that of fifteen
years ago when the bridge first was
built is a great contrast; when we con-
aider that than are more than double I

the population and more than three
times the tuxes paid now, it is certainly
a backstep in the present age of progress,
and the people of Butler township are
apt to see a legal fist before long. The
same complaint .applies to the road ques
tion also, as n matter of fact there are
roads of 20 years standing and largely
frequented by the public, wired up,
without any guard or warning to prevent
collision, and all of this for the sake of
the almighty dollar. Prosperity must
take a back seat; progress must be di
minished and the golden calf worship
ped. World take a tumble! s.

The late rains have worked wonders
in all the small grain Helds and farmers
are looking hopeful. Most of the corn
ground is plowed and soon the click of
the check-rower will be heard again.
Mr. Rud. Jenni, who has been ser
iously ill lately, is around again.
Mr. Bart Duersk, a farmer living in
this vicinity met with quite an accident
last Tuesday while drixiug home from
town; he was thrown from his wagon,
breaking his arm and bruising him up
generally. He was taken to the hospital.
Henry Miller, Sr., thinks country life
is preferable to city life, and is building
a dwelling house on his farm.
Mr. F. Marolf is doing considerable
fencing this spring. Mr. M. will soon
have one of the best improved farms on
Loseke Creek.
John Wise, Esq., is doing some very
good work as road supervisor. something
our township has long needed.
It pays to raise good stock. John
Brugger has recently sold a three-year-old
colt for $350.00, nnd.M. Herchenhau
one of the same age for 3300.00.
Mr. Ephraim Pilling, formerly of this
place, now in Creston, was shaking
hands with his old friends here last Sun
day. The new cheese factory at M. Brag
ger's is now ready for operation. Messrs.
Fauble & Bradshaw did the mason and
M. J. Glur the carpenter work. This
makes two cheese factories here; who
says Neboville is no place? It is worth
while to come and see it! Although ad
mitting that we are not so well supplied
with wind as our friend Why Not, of
G. P., we can accommodate an v one with
a good chnnck of Swiss, brick, or even
Limburger cheese. Kome, Johnny,
show up again, we can assure you, there
are exceptions to all rules, and you'll
still find some birds in last year's nests."
As the base ball season draws near
again our youth have decided to organize
a club to be called "The Young Twi

captainship are Fred. Marolf, Jr., Geo.

to chronicle some of their victories next
time. b. t.
