DLLIAM J. WILLIAMS was born in Licking county, Ohio, three miles
from Granville and six from Newark, June 4. 1845. He was the third
son in a family of six boys and five girls. The family were brought up
ft on a rough farm of 54 acres;
University and seven of them have been teachers. Until ten years of age he
attended school continuously, but after that period his lessons were limited to
a winter term of four months. He worked his way through his college course
beginning teaching at the age of 17, and teaching six years during his college life,
graduating in the classical course of Denison University in the year 1871.
He began superintending schools at Winamac, Indiana, in 1871, and remained
there two years. Then went to Rochester, Indiana, and was superintendent of
city schools eight years. Here he was married June 20, 1878, to Miss Rose Ann
Bracket there being three children of the union, Fred., a graduate of the Colum
bus high school, and now a student of the State University, Marjorie and Edith.
After superintending schools at Rochester, Mr.. Williams served two terms as
superintendent of the public schools of Fulton county, Indiana. From this
position he was called to the chair of Pedagogy of Franklin college, Indiana,
a position he held two years, and was then offered the superintendency of
the Franklin City schools, which he accepted and occupied for six years, resigning
on account of his wife's failing health. In the spring of 1S94. after his wife's
death, he accepted a temporary position, principal of the high school at Marion,
Indiana, four months, and come to this city September 1. 1S94. having been elected
superintendent of Columbus schools, a position he still holds, and in which he
has given great satisfaction. August 14. 1895, Mr. Williams married Mrs. J. S
Henrich, an estimable lady of this city, their home on Fourteenth street being a
happy union of the two households, Mrs. Henrich and her daughter Ethel, and
Mr. Williams and his children. In 1562. young Williams joined the Baptist
church and was later, March 14, 1871, given authority to preach, the society thus
testifying their faith in him, and their opinion that he ought to devote himself to
the ministry. Mr. Williams is a member of the State Teachers' Reading Circle
Board, and is also President of the North Nebraska Teachers' association. As
superintendent of the city schools he has the oversight of the work of eighteen
teachers, and the school welfare in charge of some eight hundred pupils.

The best school for literary begin
ners ia the newspaper office. To be a
reporter for awhile gives a young man
the best experience in dealing directly

an apprenticeship as reporters. This is
true of Rudyard Kipling, Mr. Howells,

Last Friday afternoon the ice in the
north side of the Platte river made a
wild rush for the Missouri and for a
time it was feared the bridge would go
too but fortunately it escaped with only
the destruction of one pile. Although
the channel on the north side is wide
and deep the ice on the south side is
thick and unbroken. Should there
come a day or two of real warm weather
and the ice break with a rush, the bridge
would be very apt to go out yet Silver

Edward Reno, the noted magician,

day night The entertainment was good
throughout many tricks being per

has trained his birds and dogs, gives us
reason to believe that wo should be

One by one the pioneers are joining the
silent majority. It will be but a few
short years until all those who took part
in the early development of this terri
tory will have gone from among us. It
is too bad that they cannot remain longer
to enjoy the fruits of their labors.

Last week's Jogbxai contained a
mention of the death of David Carrig,
senior, on Saturday, March 11. He died
at the residence of his son David. He
was born in County Limerick. Ireland,
in 1820. He came to Platte county in
1859, settling on good land in the rich
Shell creek valley, where during all
these forty years he has been an indus
trious farmer and stock raiser. The
older settlers will remember the three
Carrig brothers, Henry, David and
James, the latter now surviving, with
their sister, Mrs. Ed. Hays of Genoa.
Mr. Carrig leaves hi3 son David. His
first wife died some thirty years ago, his
second wife about two years ago. The
body was laid to rest at the Gleason
cemetery, near his old home.
B. Donovan says he was over in
Dodge county a few days ago in quest of
clover seed and found the farmers there
engaged in growing clover extensively.
One man had out one hundred and
twenty acres of it Mr. Donovan thinks
the farmers of this county are missing it
by not sowing more clover, and especi
ally those who own rough land. One
acre of clover is estimated to keep three
head of cowb and the increase from the
cows would yield several times as much
profit with much less work than the
products of an acre of corn or small
grain. We believe Mr. Donovan is right
Occasionally you will find a man who
has made some money raising and selling
grain exclusively, but it is seldom. He
must be the favorite of Dame Fortune

Mrs. L. J. Gardner who lives on the
Wise farm three miles north of the city
has been very sick all winter and during
this time she has worried about her sou
John A. Gardner, who went from here
with the recruits of Co. K. (He was
afterward transferred to Co. B.) A few
days ago Dr. Baker wrote to President
McKinley telling him the condition of
Mrs. Gardner and on the 15th B. E.
Gardner, another son of Genoa, wrote to
Meiklejohn also. On the 16th they had
a telegram from the latter saying a
cablegram had been sent for Gardner's
discharge to Manila. It is not surpris
ing to any mother to know that since
receiving this good news, Mrs. Gardner
has beea much improved.
Alfalfa as a stock food ia attracting
earnest attention is many parts of the
state, and it may be interesting' to many
of our farmer readers to know what
it amounts to m our neighborhood.
Jake Hoepfinger has a patch of four or
five acres which probably, owing to be
ing on a favorable slope, was not
smothered by sleet which killed most of
the crop in 1595. Lat year he made
four cuttings averaging from one and a
half to two tons per acre, and during the
winter he has fed the hay to his five
milch cowsbut a few days agoL having
used up the last stack which was out
doors and not wishing to commence on
that housed in the barn, he fed millet
The result was apparent and marked.
Instead of sending two full cans of
milk to the creamery as has been his
custom for several months past in less
than a week one can held the total pro
duct of these five cows. Mr. Hoepfinger
is very enthusiastic on the subject of
alfalfa and his opinion based on several
years' experience is that for any kind of
stock not forgetting chickens, in which
case the alfalfa should be chopped fine
this plant is the most valuable of any
fodder crop that can be raised in Ne
braska, Tilden Citizen.
