Phillipsburg herald. [volume] (Phillipsburg, Kan.) 1882-1905, 1882-12-14

james Forbs, of Deer Greek has
sold his farm of 16H acres, which lays
six miles north west Of Kirwin, on the
Phillipsburg road, for S1,7OO. This
with what he has to sell, making him
g., 700, and his team and outfit in all
over 1900. Mr.. F. came to the
county II years ago, sometime before
he was old enough to take a claim.
When of age he took his homestead
and had SIS left to improve his land.
Ever since 1871, Jimmie Ferbs has
been recognized as one of the stand
bys and while many Of the land own
ers around him raised sunhOwers he
had corn for sale. Adding a little,
wear by year and although he was
never known to make a speculation
or hast to get rich, he has got into COM
Portable circumstances. This year he
raised over 1900 bushels of corn, and
will probably ship his own hogs to
Kansas City. We understand that
Mr.. FOrbs now intends going into the
sheep business, starting a ranch in
| Cheyenne county, in the extreme
Northwest corner of the state. While
we are sorry to lose such men as he IS.

The Burlington HdaOkeye gives
some general instructions on horse
manship, from which we Gull the fol-
lowing delicious extract:
! eff you are from New York or phil
adelphia, you will shorten the stirrups
until your knees are on q level with
your chin. Then, IS you ride, you
! will rise to your feet and stand in the
attitude of man peerIng over fence
to look for his dog, and then suddenly
| fall in the saddle like a man who has
stepped on a banana peel. This IS
the English school. 1t is hard on the
horse, but it is considered very grace
full. A man cannot wear false teeth,
however, and ride in this manner.
