J H. A. Busboom, on his way home
from Golden, His, came through Ne
braska to look at that country with a
view of purchasing farm, but after
taking good look at the country he
came back to Sherman county. He
says Sherman county is much better
country than any he found in Nebraska.
This is the way they all do.
Sherman county is away up in G.
Every few days some one drives in
from an adjoining county for corn OF
feed of some kind. The last one is q
Mr.. S. M. Linstrum, of Vego, Wallace
county, who came up few days ago

good and will be better before long.
