Mr.. James Carmody came to Lancaster
about twenty-five years ago He came to this
country from New York State and thought
this, when he landed here with five dollars in
his pocket, place hardly suitable for human
habitation But he went to work, prospered,
and soon found it a much better place to live
than down east" His children have, how
ever, grown to be men and women and have
found homes farther west. His heart followed
them, and last week he disposed of his farm
and other property and now, with the remain
ing members of his family is on the way to
Nebraska-that State that belongs to 4. NJ.

he can set himselfup in home that viii make
him comfortable in old age.

to the State bounty on wolves, thus saving to
the State SO 900 to 10000 per year. Papers

sealps from the western plains and the profess
sional rearing of wolf cubs in the counties of
Grant, Iowa and Dane" and claim that the
bounty system has always acted as premium

should be detected and punished. But we be-

tessional wolf hunters in this county have en-
gagged only in legitimate business If it is true
that the frauds named have been carried on
the county bounty should at the first oppor>
tunity be repealed, for now that the State
gives no bounty wolves caught in counties
that pay no bounty will be brought to Grant
County market
advertisements in this paper suggest that
Messrs. Stevens & Bartlett will before long
dispose of their large property interests in
Cassville. They have passed through the
seige ofhard times, lasting from 1878 till ere
SUMPTION and perhaps like many others the
experience has made them tired of the bust
ness they have been engaged in. II seems TO
us they are proposing sale at the wrong time.
Like old Moses they have passed through the
wilderness and struggled up the rugged mount
where they can behold the promising land of
good times, but they conclude the good in
prospcc. is not to be enjoyed by them. The
Cassville saw mill property is the best proper
" of the kind and the best situated of any in
Grar, County. The good times now being
ush,red in will make large demands lor lum-
