@. DoRT, President.
MRS. j. D. MATTEIoN, Sec'y Protein.
-Marten Lorenzen and family, Of
Odebolt, Sac county, Iowa, arrived in
Phillipsburg last Thursday night.
Mr., L. has purchased the Cyrus
Heath farm few miles northwest of
town, and moves on to it at once, He
is substantial farmer of large ex-
perience and the HERALD extends to
HIM and family hearty welcome to
our county.
Mrs. Wright of Phillipsburg,
who has had ten years experience as
nurse, has been appointed to take
charge of the hospital ward at the
Topeka asylum, March LIST. Mrs.
Wright has two children depending
upon her efforts for support and edu-
cation State Journal.
This appointment came entirely
without solicitation on the part Of
Mrs. Wright, and is a just recognition
af her merit. She Is thoroughly quail
flied for the position, but we under
stand she has not yet decided whether
or not she will accept it.
Our farmer readers will notice in
another column the announcement Of
a farmers institute to be organized in
this city, Saturday, March g. This IS
q movement in the right direction,
and the HERALD will be glad to see
Phillips county lead the van in every
effort to better the condition OF the
people. The farmers are organizing
all over the United States and this
institute will only help bind them to-
gether more completely, as we'll as
aid them in the interchange of prac-
tical knowledge and in securing the
best talent to address them in their
meetings.
The HERALD understands that
there is fair prospect of great d.
minuation in land values in Mound
township, as brass band has been
organized near Stuttgart, and while
the boys are learning to play, the
horns in their agonles will give forth
most agonizing sounds. However, as
most of the boys are of German des-
cent, they will soon, doubtless, be
able to master their instruments, as
brass music and Germans are closely
related. John Dawson has been en-
gagged as leader and instructor, and il
he lives through the first few months,
will greatly assist the band In reach
ing proficiency. E. E. Hoffman OF
this city, will furnish the instruments.
The fourth and last lecture in
the free course provided by Rev
Strong, was delivered in the M. e.
church Tuesday evening by Rev, j.
O. Horn of Stockton. Owing to the
inclemency of the weather the audi.
ence was not large, but those who
were present enjoyed one of the most
interesting and instructive lectures
ever delivered in our city on a like
subject. The theme, Scenes in q
South American Mission Field" was
grandly handled from beginning to
end. Incidents both serious and
laughsble were graphically pictured,
and the manners and customs of the
people wildly portrayed. The scene
of Rev. Horns missionary lsbors was
the city of Coquima and its vicinity
on the west coast Of Chile. His de-
scription included the religious prac-
tees, the social castles, the political
unrest as we'll as the domestic habits
and customs of those enterprising
Chilians--the most warllke, as we'll
as the most progressive people of our
southern continent, and abounded
in noble lessons of Christianity and
patriotism AT the close of the lee
ture Rev. Horn sang, by request, a
song entitled Put the Cookies on the
Lower Shelf" which was highly ap-
plauded by the audience. Excellent
music was also rendered by the choir.
Rev. Strong deserves great praise for
the good work he has done for our
people in providing course Of lee
TUT es of SO high a character and such
general interest. Ithas been a source
of much pleasure and profit to those
