Some Of our enterprising young people
have taken it into their heads to get
married, for which | am duly grateful Is
it makes quite IN addition to my budget
Of news for the CHrEH.
Last weeks paper confined the notice
Of the marriage Of enc couple. they were
married in Red Cloud. The others,
Abram Newton, and Maggie Cochran,
were married at the residenc, of the brides
father, the afternoon Of the Sd. They
intended to surprise Us. but We got an
linking Of it and surprised them in turn.
The bridesroon,'s aunt. Mna Jones,
invited them to spend the evening At her
house. and when they arrived they found
the whole neighborhood collected there,
each n having brought some little
present for the young couple, besides
their contribution to the refreshment
table, and such q table, it would have
done you good to zee it, and much more
to partake Of it. 1t is quite unnecessary
to add that every n enjoyed the eve.

circumstances
Another Day has appeared among rs,
this time it is q diminutive specimen of
masculinity, weight Q pounds. Also two
Of Mr.. Days sisters have came out here
from Ohio with their husbands, and
families, and household goods, and intend
to make Nebraska their home.
The people of Farmers creek are at
present having q very interesting series
Of revival meetings at their school hou,e ,
there has been quite q number of con

manifested generally, and much good
being done.

Last Friday in company, with Sheriff
Warren, vi made a flying visit TO the
thriving little town Of Guide Rock. The
prospects for the building up this enter
pri,ing little place, in the near future,
are the best. The bridge over the river
south of tho { .wn will Re completed 10
about ten days. which will give the town
a large trade from the south side, and
also FROM . considerable portion eff Jewell
county. Kansas. The railroad is com.
plsted beyond Guide Rock, with the ex-
ceptiou Of laying the iron, and the town
will sosn enjoy the distinction OF being
connected with the outside world by rail;
when its growth will be rapid. as it is
surrounded by a splendid agricultural
country and an enterprising and pros
porous class of farmers.
Among the business men With whom
We were acquainted, and those with
whom We became acquainted during our
short stay, We find Abe CARRIER, II. l..

deals in farm machinery, and has sold
over a thousand dollars worth of imple-
ments during the short time he has been
located there. DR.. Robinson runs the
drug store, and lie building up . good
trade. Prouddt & Marsh are young men
who have recently located there, in the
hardware trade. They keep a first
class stock Of goods in their Ene, and as
they are live energetic young men, they
are sure to succeed. j. l.. Vance is one
Of the old residents. He has recently
laid out q addition to the town, and
divides his time between selling lots and
conducting his other business. Conuor

and have a neat store, well filed with dry
goods. groceries &c. Uncle Billy Sabin

less than two short weeks ago. - happy

tered, has uttered the stern sentences that
may be expected by oil. Thy HOUSE

been the scene Of bis ranges.
Mrs. N. G. Liddy. wife Of Captain
Liddy. The we'll known msrchsos. depart
ed this life last Sunday morning. after .
brief but severe attack of Typhoid
Pneumonia.
A week ago last Sunday the deceased
was apparently in as good health a. she
had ever been in her life. On the fol-
Tuesday she Was stricken down
with the terrible disease which bafled
the ply sicisL's cunning. At the first
che became unconscious, and remained 80
until her death.
Mrs. Liddy moved With Der Husband
to this place about Two years ago, and
during her residence among the people
Of Red Cloud she made many warm
friends, who deeply dep!ore her loss.
= In orr social life she Was one Of the
recognized leaders. In the church Of
which she and har husband we're com.
municants, they were among the most
worthy and valuable members
In the several stations Of lie which
it is peculiarly the part Of women to gil
and adorn, she will be e~rievously missed,
and her absence incurred.
The home, especially where two little
children, Is yet babes 10 years, and a
husband inconsolable With grief weep for
her presence, is an object Of the most
hssrtful sympathy.
The remains Of the deceased we're
forwarded Wednesday morning, for
interment at Sioux City, Iowa, her for.

THE PRONUNCIATION OF ~. :"

Ninety-nine out of every hundred
Northerners will say institoot for
institute. and dooty for duty
"a perfect rhyme to the word
beauty. They will call new and
news, moo and noos- and SO on
through the dozens and hundreds
of similar words. Not dictionary
in the English language authorizes
this. In student and stnpid. the
"u" has the same sound as in cupid,
and should not be pronounced
stoodent and stoopid, as SO many
teachers are in the habit of sound
ing them.
1t is vulgarism to call a door
a doah-as we all admit-isn't it as
much of vulgarism to call a news
paper noospaper? One vulgarism
is Northern, and the other South
ern, that's the only difference.
When the London Punch wishes
to burlesque the pronunciation OF
servants, it makes them call the
duke the dook, the tutor tooter.
and tube toob. You never find
the best Northern speakers, such as
Wendell Phillips, George William
Curtis, Emerson, Holmes, and men
of that class, saying moo for new,
Toosday for Tuesday, avenoo for
avenue. or calling a dupe doop.
1t is fault that Southerner never
falls into. He has slips enough of
another kind, but he doesn't slip
on the long "a" As many OF our
teachers have never had their atten-
ton called to this, I hope they will
excuse this notice.-Southern Let

A BOY AGAIN.

Sometimes IN OLD man becomes o
boy again, though too smart to
drop into his second childhood. An
illustration of this pleasant tendency
was given, not many months since,
by an old man, worth several mil
lions.
He was in the habit of prowling
around the office of the insurance
company in which he was Direc-
tor. One morning as he was thus
investigating, he happened to come
across the drnner-pail of the office
boy. His curiousity led him to
take off the cover. A slice of home
made bread, two doughnuts and u
piece of apple-pie tempted the
millionaire's appetite. He be-
came boy again, and the dinner
pail seemed the one he had carried
sixty years ago.
Just then the office-boy came In
and surprised the old man eating
the pie-he had finished the bread
and doughnuts- :.
That's my dinner you're eating!
exclaimed the boy, indignantly.
"Yes, sonny, / suspect it may be;
but it's frst-rate one, for all that.
I've not eaten so good one for six
ty years"
"There," he added, as he finished
the pie, take that and go out and
bus yourself dinner, but you
won't get as good a one," and he
handed the boy S. bill.
For days after. the old man kept
referring to the frst-class dinner ne
had eaten from the boys pail

THE FOOD WE EAT.

How much the success or failure
of our lives depends upon the food
we eat, we little comprehen l. No
science is SO neglected and SO little
understood. Man would not dare
to treat a valuable horse with the
same recklesness with which he
treats himself. For with care he
selects food for his horse, few if any
changes being allowed, aud he pro-
cures a competant groom to look
after and care for the animal, that
he may be capable of heetness and
endurance; while with himself he
sits down to his table, groaning
under it's burden of variety and
richness, and, without regard to the
requirements of his system or the
affinity the food possesses, fills him
self to the utmost capacity of his
stomach, regardless of consequences.
But had he first passed this parta-
ken dinner over to his chemist and
allowed him to analyze it and hand
it back to him labeled, he would
have turned pale and wondered ii
such was truth. Again, were he
20 step into drugstore and at
tempt to mix chemicals as he does
his food, without regard to chemical
laws, he would soon have his head
blown from his body. Why moi
then study and investigate the
laws of our own natures, and be as
wise as is the OK or the ass, that
knoweth his master and Lis mas
ter's crib, and accuse not q kind
and loving Providence of cursing us
with disease and suffering when we
are ourselves alone responsible
Good Health.
