The state herald., 1889-08-16

DR.. Cronkite took last Friday eve
ning's train for Hastings, Neb., where
he may locate, as he was undecided
whether he would remain In Hastings
or go on to Falls City. Wherever he
may 60, the HERALD wishes him COM
plete success. The DIR. was very
popular young man while among US
and as near as we can ascertain eco-
nomical, and his leaving is regretted
by many. OF course there are always
some ever ready to make remarks
ab~nt people in their absence which
they would not dare to make In their
presence, but the opinion Of such peo-
pie does not interest the HERALD, and
we hope that Fred may see the day he
may laugh At their weakness.
"Wide-awaker of wakeman In the
News Of last week forms a little COM
bination with Virgo" formerly cor.
respondent Of the HERALD, for our
discontinue. II they did not know 1t
before they certainly have now made
the discovery that the HERALD Is
republican paper and that A. A. Spahr
is also republican and the editor
thereof, and any communication in
tended to produce discord In the re-
publican ranks will not be published In
this paper, and we hereby notify ''Vir-
go" that he has shown that he has no
idea Of honor In doing as he has in
this matter, and that he will receive
no free copies Of the HERALE and no
further correspondence of his will be
accepted.
We now have an elevator, and its
proprietor, Mr.. Palmerton, buys all
kinds of grain, and also hogs, cattle,
stock and sometimes a piece of real
estate-just the kind Of man IIol-
yoke has been in need Of. Now give
us a butter and egg man. Why does
not some one write to Denver for some
one 10 come down, II no other way,
and pay cash for the farm products
above mentioned. There is money in
1t for some one, and 1t would require
but little capital. We must have a
market for everything the farmer and
truckman can bring to town. Well do
we remember only q year ago grain
was brought to Holyoke and 1t was al
most impossible to sell ut any price,
and frequently 1t had to be retailed
about the streets to find sale at all.
Now grain is coming in all around us
and they drive straight to the elevator,
weigh their produce, get their money,
,fnr-ss fnr-s.:.he .:he merchants get the benefit; and
We are not ihrougn-,,yet. This is
the beginning. Now coIneaas q
Touring mill, a canning factory,
and some are contemplating
IN oil mill, which Will furnish new
industry for farmers, raising flax. Peo-
pie who know say these mills are incx-
pcnsiye and yield fine profit. Oh,
IIolyoke is not dead.
The rain belt has certainly reached
Us, and we have never seen one-half
The hardships the early settlers Of Ne
braska and Kansas experienced when
that country was first settled. We
know our people think they are bear
ing all the burdens that II Is possible
for the people Of new country to UNI
Iiergo. And as compared with coun-
Try where every farm is graccd with II
fine house, a comfortable barn and n
orchard and all The luxuries
Of life that the eastern capitalist can
enjoy, this country would not seem the
most favored spot In the whole world,
but for the trials and privations OF pi-
oneer life those who know say We are
most favored IN eastern Colorado. In
n conversation with Joseph Hoover Of
York county, Neb., few days ago we
were surprised at the picture he drew
Of the hardships undergone and trials
endured by the settlers Of that county
eighteen years ago, and by the wny. he
Is neither crank nor an enthusiast, n
pessimist nor futurist, but n level
headed pedagogue who has made "a
snug little sum of money and invested
IL In Nebraska real estate, and now Is
selling II and investing In Phillips
county realty. He Is now the proud
owner Of two hundred and forty acres !.
and expects 10 purchase more. and
next spring will see the smiling face OF
Joseph among us. Several OF his
nelghbors arc also coming nj that time,
all with the intention OF investing and
becoming residents Of our county.
Now. farmers, why need you complniny
These are men who have experienced
greater discouragements than youhaye
ever done. They have seen York
county develop from poverty strick-
en- desert TO one Of the wealthiest and
most prosperous counties In Ncbraskn.
And now they see greater possibilities
here. The HERALD extends to them
most hearty welcome md shnll pay
them weekly visit IN the future, aud
shall keep right on working FOR Phil.
lips county.
