= Ed. Johnson is stopping at
McCOok, Nebraska, where he has or
dered his paper sent for while. He
says that in months travel he has
not found better place for him than
Phillips county.
Capt. Wright, of this township,
one of the oldest men in the county,
if not the oldest, never fails to cast his
vote at every election. Last Tuesday
he walked up to the polls and cast a
Republican vote without scratch.
Several slight errors occurred in
publishing the Treasurer's Statement
some two weeks ago. School district
No. 2 has $26. 48 F; No. Is, 10 and Is has
the funds to their credit set opposite
their numbers. County papers please
copy.
Andrew J. Jones and n. @. Her
ring, of Sugar Loaf, Rocks county,
were at the HERALD Office on bust
ness Tuesday. Mr. Jones has pur-
chased farm of 800 acres on Bow
Creek, on the north line of Rocks
county, where he will make it his
home.
We noticed S. G. Pillsbury, of
Granite, DR.. Burt, of Glenwood, and
1. Isbel, of Greenwood, in the burg
yesterday. Also Amos EweI, of Mar
vim; Fred. and Geo. Veeh, of Mound !;
Thomas Trumble and j. NJ. EIston,
of Rushville, and J. NJ. Crosier, of
Arcade.
Election day passed off quietly.
Everybody seemed to know about
what they wanted to do and marched
up to the polls and deposited their
ballota though it was nobody's bust
ness but their own. A large number
voted the straight Republican ticket
openly and wanted every other man to
know it.
Henry Vincent has traded his
farms in Dayton township to Mr..
Hodgins for the Hotel property in
Marvin, where he now of1iciates as
mine host. Henry's many friends
will be glad to get trusted for a meal
fol old acquaintance sake. We I'M
derstand that Mr.. H. will build on
his farm where he intends to make
his home next spring.
DIED, Monday November 9th, on
Plum Greek, Mrs. Wheeler, wife of
Ed. Wheeler. Mr.. and Mrs. Wheeler
were among the first settlers in the
county, having located on Plum Creek
in the summer of 1873, where they
have remained ever since, opening up
one of the finest farms in Greenwood
township, and has done much to de
velop the country. Mr.. Wheeler has
the sympathies of all in his affiiction.
Died, Sunday morning Nov. 5th,
1882, Myrta May Worley, Daughter of
Henry and Julia E. Morley, of Mar
vim, Kansas. Deceased was a bright
little girl of eight years and her loss is
sorely felt i'll the family circle as well
as in the community. Her disease
was typhoid pneumonia and we learn
that several others of the family have
suffered from the same disease, but it
is now hoped that all are convaIescent.
Elder H. G. Breed preached the fun
eral sermon Sunday evening. The
afflicted family have the sympathy of
all.
On the night of October 18th Our
safe was burglarized and some papers
taken which may cause some trouble,
but nothing the BURGERS could safely
use. We did not, at the time, make it
public for reasons best known to our
selves, but as like burglary was COM
mitted Friday night in the store of
D. A. Huling, in the lower room of
our building, it is evident that we
have the perpetrator in our midst,
and it is well for our business men to
be on their guard. It is hard to be-
lieve that in our quiet little commu-
nifty, we have such a character, vet
facts are stubborn things and we have
to take things rs they are, and govern
ourselves accordingly.
in the Rushville and Walnut
items, elsewhere in this issue, will be
found evidence of lawless cussedIless
that is by no means confined to those
townships, but instances like that re-
ferred to in Rushvllle may be found
on all hands even in the town or close
by. Last spring the farm house
north of town was vacated and during
the summer almost every light was
broken out of the windows, the well
curb broken up and it and every loose
board, stick or rock near were carried
and thrown into the well, filling it up
nearly 10 feet so that it cost about 81
to get it cleaned out. Other houses
and wells about town were served in
like manner. We have reason to be-
lieVe that much of this work in these
parts bas been done by boys whose
parents ought to know where they
are and teach them that this sort of
lawless disregard for other peoples
rights is only a stepping stone to other
and greater crimes that will land some
of them in the Penitentiary. 1t seems
tous that a little wholesome discipline
would help I'd correct some of these
evils, and detract nothing from the
good name of the community. Boys
if your parents do not say anything to
you about it, ask them if it is right be-
fore you break any more windows or
throw stones at buildings.
Lamb says he can't jubilate unless
Sam Wood is elected to Congress.
