ton from an Iowa man to exchange
an improved farm there for wild land

j. Dalrymple of Wisconsin has
formed very favorable opinion OF
Nebraska. One day last week he
was on the table land north of Shell
Creek, and says that it reminded him

them as yet, but the firemen are un-

band have proper inducement to
stay at home and help to make the
great American eagle scream on the
glorious Fourth.
