PAWNEE ROCK.

From Saturdays Leader.
The late showers are doing the wheat
great deal of good.
Mrs. Elda Hyter, who lived in Doug
las township, Stafford county, died on
last Saturday and was buried the fol-
lowing day.
Larned celebrated Decoration Day in
grand style, but everything considered,
it could not hold candle to our Paw
nee Rock celebration.
Many man who remains lat the
Offices till late at night to balance his
books finds considerable difficulty i'll
balancing himself on his way home.
The hog and the hen are sources of
greater profit to the farmer for the
amount of capital invested than any
thing else OH the farm. Yet they are
almost always the most neglected
things on the farm. 1t will pay to i'm
prove and eXpend upon both.
The old eagle will soar and flop her
wings and screech in Pawnee Rock on
the Fourth! a meeting has been called
for next Tuesday night at the school
house, at which every citizen should be
seen. A celebration here on the
Fourth means many dollars in the
pockets of our merchants, and they
should be liberal in encouraging the
celebration. BY keeping our people at
home on that day we keep their money
here, and those from the country who
attend are sure to inYest in many ways
Besides, it gives our town a name for
hospitality and will indirectly repay
every cent invested, in the long run.
We should provide a variety of amuse-
ment, plenty of music; dancing and
speaking, and display of pyrotechnics
at night which will be worth staying to
see. We have been tardy in our duty in
tie past, but let July 4th of 1888 be a
rouser one long to be remembered.

THE OLD SETTLERS.

Thursday the sixth annual reunion
of the Old Settlers Association of Bar
ton county was held in the grove west
of this CITY, Between five and six hun
dred persons, old and young, were
present and the following program was
carried out:
Music by the band.
1st.-Meeting called to order by the
President of the Association.
2d.-Prayer.
3d.-Address of welcome by Mayor.
4th.- Song by the glee club.
DINNER
5th.-Music by the band.
6th.-Adress by T. T. Taylor, of

Sth.-Experience meeting and short
talks by old settlers.
9th.-Song 10y the glee club.
10th.-ElectiOn of officers for the en-
suing year.
11th.-Song, My Country 'Tis of
Thee" by everybody.
Finale.
The reunion occurring the day follow
ing Memorial Day, there were not as
many people in attendance as there
would have been had it been held
earlier or later in the season. The
speech by Col. Taylor of Hutchinson,
republican candidate for governor, was
hardly what was expected of a man
with his aspirations. The singing was
good, and the band music could not
have been better. y number of Eek
perience" speeches were made by old
settlers and the afternoon was most
agreeably spent by all.
The following are the officers elected
for the next year: President, II. a.
C. Hartmann; vice president, c. d.
Montgomery; secretary, VIII Grant;
treasurer, Mrs. Grizzell; executive COM
mittee, Hon. II. j. Roetzel, E. L. Chap
man and S. 5. Shattuck.
The second Thursday in May, 1889,
was fixed as the time for holding the
next meeting, and DalZiel's grove
settled upon as the place.
The exercises closed with my coun-
try tbs of Thee" participated in by the
entire company present.

A South Side Scrape.

The other evening a number of
rowdies, in passing the farm house Of
j. T. Address, just OH the north edge
of Stafford county, stopped and tipped
over several wagons, and committed
other low-lived tricks. They next
went to Alex. Battman's place, going
through the same performance. Mr..
Battman went out doors and found his
wagon turned around and thought it
was his brother-in-law, Lee Archibald,
who had been there, and he started for
the latter gentleman's place with a
butcher knife in his hand and blood in
both eyes. Archibald was in his barn
when Battman arrived, and was told
to go and fix the wagon just as he had
found it. Archibald said he did not
know what he meant, whereupon Bait
man started for him with the knife and
he (Archibaldl grabbed up pitchfork
and defended himself until neighbors
came to the rescue. Battman went to
st. John with an officer and the diff
Guilty was settled.

ticipating is entitled to praise for the
efficiency of his or her work. Especially
do we desire to compliment Miss Flor
ence Poole, the graduate for 1888, upon
the successful completion of her high
school studies, and her graduating adj
dress, subject: "The Mill Will Never
Grind with the Water that has Passed.
Her manner of delivery was pleasing
and her composition without flaw.
Misses Lizzie Phelps, Viola Pelter,
Matte Fruit and Clara Schneider, of
the class of 1889, are worthy of compli-
ment, as are also Messrs. F. \. Craig,
Chas. V. Brinkman and G. F. Diffen-
bacher, jr., of the same class. The eff
forts of Miss Clara Schneider and Chas.
Brinkman called forth loud applause
from the pleased audience.
Prof. Reece in short address, pre-
sented Miss Poole with her diploma as
the first graduate from the Great Bend
High School, also diploma of 'honor
and certificate for. four years tuition
presented by Adrian College to the first
graduate from our high school.
Rev. J. w. Thompson, President of
our board OF education, offered the
thanks of the board for the able manner
in which all had acquitted themselves
in the commencement exercises.
The church was handsomely decora-
ted; flowers and exotics were abundant,
and each of the participants in the ex-
ercises were presented by admiring
friends with magnificent bOquets and
garlands.
