ents. Crow.
Editor Herald : I wish to say to
your correspondent from Crow, Mr.
Tattler, that where he wishes to lay the
blame on some of Uncle sam's officers,
thvt he had better get up before his
wife calls him to breakfast, and dp his
work in time to go to the post ofiice be
fore the mail starts , and not come with
eoBamunieationa,an hour after the mail
has gone. Tbe last conimunicatioa
was too late, and was sent by Major
Forney or it would not have been read
by your admiring patrons last week.
Come, Mr. Tattler, wake up early,
please, and do not get so cross and
think some one else is to blame for
your own neglect.

Freedom.
Throat and malarial diseases are
quite prevalent among our citizens but
Dr. Ilouck seems to have control.
Croquet parties were the entertaining
medium in the soeial sphere previous to
the epidemic.
A thresher owned by springer, sage
& Hickman, is busily at worh and grain
is turning out with a yield exceeding
the expectations of the people-
Corn is booming:, and 3 ears on a
stalk has ceased to be a miracle.
The grasses are coming to maturity
sooner than usual and the hay harvest
is pressing.
A very able sermon by Ker Hahn , of
Ixng Island, was listened to Sunday
afternoon by a full house.
Mrs. s. A. Daniels , Gf Minden. Neb.,
is visiting friends and relatives at this
place and Marvin.
The usually serene political atmos
phere of Freedom sustains its equilibri
um, but the votes at th polls will devel
op a mature Republican "Anakiui,"
solid for the nominees .

Sittings from Kirwin.
Improvements of the substantial kind
seems to be the order now; Eugene John
is putting an elegant glass front in his
shop on the south side; tt. H. Noll, has
just completed a ueat barn on his iesi
dence property; Geo. Mouhon's new
house is just, finished but what's the
use things are booming aud they can't
help it. w. D. iranger was in town
Saturday to meet his sister, Estella,
who returned iroui school at Holron on
Friday night's train. Four of Phillips
burgs young ladies, Elsie Lowe, Minnie
Pohnp, oussie Young and May Nash,
were in Kirwin Wednesday and regis
tered at the Belford House- Horace
Moulton is vihitiug in Wisconsin, he is
accompanied by his estimable lady and
son Harry, he expects to visit Dakota
before he returns. Mrs. F. S. Inger
soll and Bruce started Tuesday morning
for Illinois where they will spend tha
balance of the summer season. The
Streble saloon and billiard hall has re
cently been opened by some Nebraska
parties, iiiss May weaver started ou a
visit to eastern friends on Tuesdays train
she expects to visit friends in Kansas
city and go iiom there to Michi
gan. Dick cowen, wife and baby were
down from the Capitol Tuesday.
Miss Myrta Bissell is visiting at her
Uncle John Biasell's this week. Geo.
W. Woods' many friends will be flad
to.learu that lie is slowly but steady,
improving, we hope to see him
around before long. We no doubt
wrote that '"Mr. Clifford was formerly
operative here" in our com. last
week, but what was the matter with
your intelligent compositor that be
didn't correct it? eh!
Will see you latek.
Mar In and Vicinity.
As the heat increases the interest in
croquet diminishes, lleniy Crawiuer
is now a land owner. We haw seen
an army suit going about lately which
id, said to contain Go Stinson. There
was a coal famine in town last week
and divers citizens might have been
seen sneaking behind stores trying to
"hoot" a box with which to cook
their hash. Our dude has gone to
hunt pastures new, Prof. Cady was
in town last Friday and drove Shank's
mares to Phillipsburg. L. L Gray,
traveling for a Kansas City type
foundry has been visiting relations
in the city. One of our ministers had
a severe out-break of communistic
propensities last week Large herds
of cattle and sheep i-re being driven
through town daily. Very litlie stock
is on the market now, caused by par
ties holding for higher prices. Many
fields of corn are out of harms way,
being almost hard enough to feed to
stock- S. J. llartmati turns up, reg
ularly with his butter-tubs, egg
cases" and little red wagon. Mrs.
Daniels mother, Jlrs, Dr. Miley, is
visiting her daughter. Rev. Good
rich, while in Rooks county, recently
started to a school house where he in
tended to preach, but losing bii way,
he wandered all night, morniugfound
him 25 miles from his starting point.
He now wears a compass pasted in
his hat. We are watching with inter
est the race for clerk district court. It
is the general opinion in thest; parts
that the county will not Buffer, if eith
er of tlve gentlemen are elected. Mr.
N. 6. Wright and mother, from Paw
nee City. NebrasKa, have been here
looking at the country and visiting
relatives vd using the past week. All
the trains were late Thursday morn
ing. Numerous immigrant wagons
pass through town -daily, some east
bound and more going west. John
O'Neil has been ont on his claim mak
ing improvements on the same.
Wheat and rye are rolling in rapidly
aud the graneries are rilling up. Sev
eral students started for the institute
Monday morning. CItester West
brook lost several calves recently. It
is supposed their death was caused
by some poisonous weed they had ate.
John Husband one of the largest farm
el's of Rooks county, was iu town Sat
urday and reports the hurgetet onjrec
ord Miss carrie Case, of Graham
county, and an estimable young lady,
has visited in towntseveral days. J.
W. Edwards was quite sick hist week
but is now improving. The wheat
yield as far as heard from exceeds the
expectations of the most sanguine,
and is turning out from 20 to So bush
els per acre. The rye is equally as
good in proportion.
Major.
Brush Creek
Once again I come to the front to
speak in behalf of the Brush Creekers,
nearly all of the farmers in vicinity are
busy stacking grain, some have threshed
nd are happily surprised by getting
more grain than they expected.
The Silver Creek SJnday School are
making preparations to attend the Sun
day school celebration the 9th, on Ash
creek. la last weeks Herald we read
the announcement of Frank Strain, for
the office of District clerk. Frank is
one of Phillips county's best men, his
past record will show that he is a good
officer, let us vote for Strain.
Miss Myrtle Bostetter is visiting her
friend Miss Duay .Rogers.
Hurrah foi" Blaine and Logan.
We think our buildihg committee
will have to be on deck soon if we
have school in -our new school House
this fall.
By the way tell Pcd T did not inti
mate or rather it was not my conten
tions to prehinder any of her perscur
iousness or hurt her squancienee sitrn
you maiden name next time then I'll
be more keerful, my name used to be
Johnson but now I sign.it pi excuse
me. GuEiiNiioKu.
Belmont Township.
Not seeing anything in your valuable
paper from this neighborhood I con
cluded to drop you a lew lines, hoping
in this manner toset the ball a rolling,
so as some one elsi more competent
would take hold and send in items regu
lar. Harvest is over and stacking pretty
near done; millet cutting is the go now,
and. like small grain, is a big crop; corn
is just splendid hut is neediug rain
now. Land buyers and candidates are
plentiful hereabouts. Mr. o W Russell,
S W west aud John Fialey have sold
their farms a w Russell will go to the
Indian Territory, John Fialey to High
Prairie and Sw West will remain iu
Belmont tp.
Rig Bend will build a good school
house this fall something that is badly
needed. Miss Lizzie Plum will close
a three months school here next Fri
day. By the way that word close just
made me think of it for feaf that I may
get this like the "'Ranchman's prayer,"
too d m long, I will close for the pres
ent, but may COME again.
