ers Of his family are very sick.
Jas. Forbes and j. A. Mercer, two
/ of the most successful men in Deer
Greek township, as well as the oldest
residents, were among our Saturday cali
ers.
Capt. I. ]. Northup and Mr.. Cum
mings, of Bow Creek VIM. Snow, of
Crystal Jas. Cramer, of Beaver, have
been guests at the Central House.
They have been assisting Judge Pratt
in dispensing justice.
Hank Polling had never seen the
HERALD Agricultural collection until
last week and his eyes protruded like
a jack-rabbits to see the samples of tim
othy, clover and blue grass, to say moth
ing about the tall broom corn.
We understand that colony of Omish
Germans have bought quite a large
tract of land few miles north of Phil
lipsburg and propose in the near future
to locate there. They are, at present,
in Shelby county, Illinois.
Samuel Hebrew, one of the substan-
tial farmers of Bow Greek, was in town
last week. He reports matters pro-
crossing nicely in that part of the coun-
try, but that prairie fires had made it a
little hot of late.
A. Saxey, of Osborne City, one of
the brightest lawyers of Northwest
Kansas, has been attending district
court at Phillipsburg some of the time
both this week and last. We did not
learn what cases he has been interested
in.
We learn that Hon. G. G. Vance, of
Longisland, is having good success
with his sheep; that they are coming
through the winter in fine condition and
have been profitable investment. We
are glad to hear good report from him
as he is a worthy man.
John McAffee, brother of Mrs. D.
A. Huling, passed through town with
his family, last week, on their way to
Colorado, and the western slope,
where they expect to make their future
home. They have been living for some
time on Oak Greek, Mitchell county, on
farm which they sold for $4,000.
Elder Edison Goodrich, who has been
assigned the Germantown circuit by the
late M. E. conference at Beloit, is a
young man of more than ordinary abili-
ty, and although he has been in the
work but one year, he has established
a reputation that has put his services in
demand.
Suppose that the Independent outfit
should succeed in beating every man
who has claim against the county for
assessing, jurors fees or for supplies, out
of 20 to % per cent. of the amount, how
happy they would be. We acknowl-
edge the chances for it are good.
j. M. Bigler, substantial democrat
of Crystal township, called yesterday.
Mr.. Bigler is from Pennsylvania, rela-
tive of the celebrated Bigler family of
that state, and very clever gentleman.
He is now preparing to spend a couple
of years in the Rockies and on the Pa
cifc coast and have good time.
We are pleased to learn that L. L.
Gray, of Beloit, one of the best job
printers of that city, and foreman of the
Courier, has just received an appoint
ment as postal agent, but is not yet as
signed to duty. We congratulate our
friend upon his success.-[ Delphas
Courier.] Lewis Phillips county friends
will rejoice with him in his streak of
luck.
John Ward, of Solomon township,
who is one of the largest land overs as
well as one of the leading stock man
of the county, called on US Monday.
He has eighty head of cattle, twelve
horses and good drove of hogs. He
reports his stock all in good order and
feed to spare. Mr.. Wards settlement
dates back eleven years and he is a sue
cess.
The Phillipsburg Herald has enlarged
to a 6 column quarto and in consequence
of having an unusual amount of space
devotes something over a half column
to our benefit. There is nothing like
being well advertised, no matter what
kind of business a person is engaged in.
We appreciate it, Enterprise. We
always thought it embarrassing to have
to blow our own horn.
Judge Joel Holt, of Be1oit, and A. G.
Mcbride, of Kirwin, are attorneys for
the plaintiff and G. w. Stinson and
McElroy & McElroy for the defendant
in the Cumming Close horse case, which
