ing, February, 18th.
The HERALD had an opportunity TO
make The acquaintance of Mr.. Wood

last week. The acquaintance was a
pleasant one and we hope It may ere

der Of the office nc proofs can now be
taken in this county, but it does not

School Township No. s consists of
town 1O7-65 and AZ tiers of sections
from the west side Of 1o7-64; the cleo
ton to be held Feb'y 23rd. Would it
not be q good plan to have a caucus or
mass convention and nominate officers :?
In our issue of January 25th, the
types made a mistake as to the school
townships; No. z should be town 1Os-65
and Az tiers of sections off The west
side Of 1864, No. 8 town 1876 and
" tiers of sections off ne west side
If 1O7-6l.

The return Of the prodigal son was
no more cause of rejoicing in the rich
mans house then was the return of j.
NJ. Spears, our county sheriff, to his
friends in this county, last Saturday.
Mr.. Spears reports very unsatisfactory
weather in Iowa this winter and that

can the warrants OF Jerauld county be
Kept at par and warrants enough be is
sued to keep the county machinery
