The commencement of the new year
. gives us little touch Of winter, which
is rather severe on the stock, but far
+ mers have plenty OF feed and the cattle
/ are IN good condition. With a little
extra care during the worst storms and
plenty of corn (which has a wonderful
power to keep out the cOld,) they will
come out in the spring as sleek as
mOles.
Is there no dry place in Kansasp is
/ the question that now agitates the
minds Of those who have not vet un-
earthsd themselves, and the alarming
/ thought presents itself, that some Of
these times they viii be buried without
even performing the most common
4 preliminaries.

little girl eight days old, which weighs

I Our school seems to be progress ing
to the satisfaction Of all concerned

/ ress IN their studies aud we feel conf
/ dent that Mr.. Robinson will see that

The Brush creek VI. E. S. S. has
/ closed for the winter. Owing 10 the
/ hostile condition of the country the

y. X. Benedict purchased a Goodrich
! Singer sewing machine for $1,000. 1t
/ is a good machine, and others of the
same kind have been thoroughly tried
and pronounced good by parties in this
/ locality. The time has come when we
/ can deal with eastern manufacturing
| companies without paying one hundred
! per cent. to some petty middle man for
/ the privilege of doing so.
The g. A. r. boys of Post No. 181,
/ Long Island conceived the idea that il
would be vastly fine to have a sort Of an
entertainment and a grand supper on
the occasion of the installation Of Ofic-
ers and perchance raise a little fund
for the post. The appointed day dawn
ed with a genuine Kansas blizzard and
as We did not attend, we cannot report
the success Of the enterprise, but sur
mise that il was rather on the failure
order. HOwey eF comrades, be patient
and although We may not make Jan
uary picnic success, we can by pay
ing up all Of our dues have a modest
little sum IN the treasury and when
summer com Is we'll have a rOusing old
Camp fire re calling to mind the mem
DRY OF by-gOne days when, johnny
came marching home" and in the same
spirit extend a cordial free inv itatiOn TO
all welcoming them as heartily as we
do the flowers of May. The Silver
Creek literary society has been reorgan-
lied and remOddled in its constitution
and bids fair to be both entertaining
and instructive.
The jackson place holds up about

Friends of the HERALD, while we are
passing the time pleasantly during this
cold weather and long winter evenings
in perusing the clumns of the HERALD
let US bear in mind that it costs a deal
of work, patience and thought together
with little help from Devil to keep up
such a paper, Therefore let as begin tn
new year with a clear record and re-
neWed subscriptions. R.
