INAVALE,

Owing to the late wet weather COM
bined with the sickness of some 6 or 8
Of the smaller children, we have not
been able to write anything for the
past few weeks.
Crops are looking well. Considerable
corn is up and small grain never look
ed better. Last Sunday, together with
three other young ladies we travelled
over a considerable portion of Mount
Hope district. We found the crops
looking splendid, and every farmer
jubilant. We stopped to talk with but
few, but from those whom We did con-
verse with We concluded that the peo-
pie in that neighbcrhood never felt
better.
Mr.. n. E. Harvey We found strolling
over the prairie in his dressing gown
and slippers, watching the grass grow,
he informed us, and from the way he
struck out after he left us we conclud-
ed that he was watching for something
else, also.
Mr.. Finley Hale we found calmly
surveying the beautiful prairie where
his fine stock were grazing. Mr.. Hale
is one of the promising young bachel-
ors of Gospel Ridge, where he has
dwelt tor some time past. The great
wonder of the people around here is
why he does not marry, but he ex-
plains all by telling them he never will
marry, and so far he has successfully
eluded all the wiles of the fair sex.
Mr.. A. T. Walker and Abe Melton
have gone up on the Niobrara to look
for some claims. They will return soon
and if suited will take their families up
in the fall.
W.. Vance still continues to wear
his old clothes, milk COWS and shout
for Blaine.
We noticed on our streets within the
past few days several gentlemen from
Red Cloud, among others were ]. N.
Richards, W. H. Strohm, G. r. CLANCY
We also noticed the smiling face of j.
+. Walters, who although he may not
he an lrishman, has certainly kissed
the Barney stone. These four gentle
men came up n at a time, for the
joint purpose of peddling a little law,
doing a little surveying, and last but
not least doing considerable insurirg.
That great moral side show, lara"
of the Argus combination was seen not
long ago vending its peaceful way
along Michigan avenue, in the north
end of u city.
The McCrary Bros. have shad some
posters struck off and pasted all over
this precinct, and as a consequence
their trade is constantly increasing.
Mr.. E. II. Palmer and H. S. Luce
started for the mountains last Sunday
morning, but owing to some misfortune
they returned before night somewhat
disguised with their attempt.
MIR. Arnison has his new house
nearly completed, and expects TO move
In about the first of June.
Miss Minnie Bliss, who mas been Wis.
Itlng her aunt for some time past, has
returned to Endicott for a time. :
Mr.: II. H. H~oldredge, who has been
stopping at Minden for some time, has
returned and is at present stopping
with m worthy p. Nj.
MIR. Charles Hunter has gone to
Kansas City with two carloads of hogs
Charlie is getting to be one of the sub
stantlal men of Webster county.

On Tuesday, June 3, the National
Republican convention will be held i'm
Chicago. In all probability we shall
be able to tell the readers of THE
CHIEE in our next issue who the next
president will be. The prospects seem
to be fair for dark horse, but our
readers need not be surprised if Arth-
ur or Blaine get to the front. For the
the interest of harmony and ultimate
success we hope the candidate will be
one that every republican can conscien-
tiously support.
The Red Cloud chief., 1884-05-30

We should judge that Wayne Nc
Veagh was a crank from his last insult
to President Arthur. 1t is all non
sense for people to hold Mr.. Arthur
accountable for Guiteau's actions.
Presiden Arthur has made an able ex-
ecutive, and has been highly praised
by all classes of people, and all parties
for his ability in the management of
the duties connected with his office,
under the trying circumstances upon
which he took the Office. Such libel
ious articles Is McVeagh's are certain
iy very much out of place at this time.
The Red Cloud chief., 1884-05-30
Proprietor

BEN BUTLER has accepted the NOM
inatiOn for president on the anti-mon-
op ticket, and will now bait his hook
for other party nominations for the
same position. He is looking cross
eyed towards the democratic party
hoping that it will fall from grace and
do him the honor already conferred on
him by the anti-monops. Benny will
never get there, S. ]. T. having the
lead in the democratic ranks.

her home in the golden city, and has a
