DIED..

MCGRIFF-O the afternoon of July
Sd, 1884, Martha McGrff, lacking
but few months of being q years
of age.
The transfer of the soul or spirit
from this body to one that is pure and
spotless, bearing the likeness of our
body here, but of transcendent clear
ness, susceptible of showing the exact
coloring of the soul that is to inhabit
it, there will need be no questions ask
ed, nor the trying palm of any decep-
ton, for every spiritual house will show
the exact projections or imperfections
of its inhabitant, for as we build in this
life, so will our spiritual buildings ap-
pear in the heavens above, when we 90
to take possession of it. Well might
Martha McGriff say, that she had no
fears after death, it was only the pains
of the transition that she dreaded.
To-day she inhabits house not made
by earthly hands, but by him who said,
Il go to prepare place for you" And
Judging from the standpoint of this life,
hers must be beautiful abode.
ARE THEY WAITING FOR US
Yes, over on that other shore,
Stands our friends, and thousands more,
Watching and waiting on the other shore,
To add to their number just one more.
Martha has gone to join that host.
Whose army covers her entire coast,
Watching and waiting on the shore
To welcome home just one more.
Oh, methinks / heard the sound
As she approached the heavenly ground;
Watching and waiting was their song,
So soft, SO mellow, and so long.

Nursery agents are active this seasc

Nursery agents are active this season,
each claiming to represent the best
nursery. In choosing which to pur.
chase from, it is well to remember that
the Crete Nurseries, Crete, Neb., are
located On the main line of the B. & NJ
r. r., only few hours from our doors
They have by far the largest nursery in
the state; they offer of their own growth
one hundred and twenty acres Of trees
and plants suited to Nebraska. They
employ at this time over forty hands
and pay over one thousand dollars
monthly for labor, This money is kept
in circulation in the state. They are
within reach and compelled by ordinary
business prudence to have stock true to
name. Working their agents on salary
instead of commission, they can sell
cheaper than other nurseries, running
men on commission. They have been
in the business at Crete twelve years
and can point to hundreds Of fine bear
ing orchards planted from their trees.
Our readers should notice their offer in
another column to those who will pur-
chase one hundred dollars or more, Civ
ing free ride to the nursery and back.

BONDyILLE.

Our political rooster gives three
cheers for Blaine and Logan.
Ed. Mack has returned to his farm in
Stockville after a summer labor at
bis trade.
Quite company congregated at the
church, Sabbath, but were disappointed,
owing to sudden illness of Rev. Moore.
One of the Fuller Bros. became mys-
titled few days ago in trying to nayi-
gate our streets, but finally hauled up
at Jefferson street
Judging from a conversation we over
heard few days ago, Bondville is soon
to have an attorney. W. o. Bonds
shingle may soon be seen.
'Batter's-Jack'' say that if people
don't keep their tongues and pens off
him he will call down a plague of fleas,
bugs and other venomous things, (the
like of which has never been SEEM and
will utterly consume them.
Our people were aroused from their
lethargy by run away last Friday.
A. E. Whitesel's team became fright
ened, started dragging the driver for
some distance. Nobody was seriously
injured The horse received few
scratches and one wheel was completely
demolished.
Our otherwise peaceful village has
been scene of considerable excitement
for the past week, owing to some pend
ing law suits. Two of Red Willows
legal advisers, j. Byron Jennings of
McCook and R. NJ. Snavely of Indianola,
were on our streets on professional
business. Bondville's court cOnvenes
next Thursday.
A most disgraceful drunken fray took
place at Danbury, one day last week.
We have not been able to gain full par
ticulars. 1t seems one of the partici-
pants took the precautions to hide his
money, but his memory failed him when
he became thoroughly drunk He ac-
cused some Of the party (most of whom
were drunk also) Of stealing it. The
accusation was resented in such way
as to prove very detrimental to clothing
and finally succeeded in disrobing sew
eral of the party. One of them rushed
into the house and when he next appear
ed on the stage of action was arrayed
in one of his wife's garments. Mount
ing horse rode over the prairie at
break-neck speed. Frightening some of
the ladies and proving general NUS
ance. Why is it that otherwise respect
able men will (purposely as it were)
make such abominable brutes of them
selves just for a few draughts of the
accursed. The experience Red Willow
county has had during the past few
weeks in her various towns has proved
that nothing short of prohibition will
ever protect her people from such dis
reputable and contemplate scenes.

THAT TRIAL.

|
throes of the law, or the law has been
in anguish unspeakable, as you please.
The case of the State of Nebraska VS..
Black, in which Wallin is the complain
ing witness. and in the which the de-
PENDANT, j. f. Black, is charged with
assault and battery, came up before
Justice Fisher, Monday morning, occu-
| plying the entire day and the major por-
ton Of Tuesday. The case was proba-
bly, the most closely contested one that
has ever occurred in McCook Every
step in the procedure was marked by
objections from one side or the other
only retreating to take another position,
and the trial soon drifted into one of
personalities, and the case was unneces-
sarily retarded by wrangling and bick-
ering that ought never to have been
suffered by any court, not to mention
the fact that it was most unbecomiDg
conduct The game is a poor one
when it lacks fruition. The doubly-
condensed and highly heated atmos-
phere in the court room ever and anon
assumed dramatically lurid aspect,
and beholders were humorously remind
ed of the palmy days of "Tie- Pecker"
litigation, when the ends of justice
were considered not to have met unless
the brilliant claret was drawn from
somebody's proboscis or somebody's eye
became draped in mourning. But, we
digress. After dragging along almost
two days, the testimony was at last all
heard, and the counsel pro and con had
their finale. Justice Fisher then rem
dered decision to the effect that there
was no probable cause of complaint, land
the prisoner was therefore discharged,
and taxing the costs Of the suit to the
plainant-to the latter clause of
which the plaintiffs counsel took excep-
ton.
There is no question but That the old
lady, Wallin, (who was unable to be
present by reason of her injuries,) re-
ceived broken jaw at the hand of de-
PENDANT Black. This was not denied,
but the plea Of defense was that the
defendant was justified in so doing by
reason of existing circumstances. We
have not the space to give even resu-
me of the testimony on this or any of
the points, nor is there any great prob
ability that our readers would be great
ly enlightened thereby at any rate.
The defendant then had Ed. Wallin az
rested for assault and battery, and
young Fry, who manipulated the IN
loaded artillery so effectually, for assault
and battery, with murderous intent.
The trial of this case will take place
September 18th.
1t appears that the trouble arose be-
tween the parties primarily concerning
a horse. Secondanly, Ed Wallin sought
to induce the defendant to apologize for
remark he had made derogatory to the
family, the pursuader being the bull
whip aforesaid. That defendant was
getting the whip-hand of his assailant,
as it were, and that young Fry and the
old lady bobbed up serenely to the res
cue, in the which the o. |. received her
injuries.
The trial attracted the attention of
many Of our citizens, and the rulings
and finding Of the court are pretty Sc
verely criticised-the general expecta-
ton and opinion being that the defend
ant would be bound over to the District
Court.

A large force of men have been and
are now at work digging trenches along
Railroad street, for the additional water
mains, which it is purposed to lay along
that street. Among other improve
ments to the system, large reservoir
is to be dug below the pump house, and
the same is to be connected with the
river by trench, through which the riv-
er water is to be filtered into the re-
ceiving reservoir. This will be a great
improvement and a needed one. The
water procured in this way will be far
superior to the present liquid. With a
large reservoir in the bottom, the addi-
ton of another pump and larger dis
tributing reservoir on the hill, we will
have the finest system in this state.
