name was mentioned in one or

Foolish and Wicked.

following to say about the fusion
of conservatives and republicans
in this State. So far as Hamp-
ton and Buffers favoring it we do

both wicked and foolish-so fool
ish that it could be brayed i'll a

"The fusion of the Conservatives
with the Republicans will take
place in three months unless the
Tillman-Irby crowd agree to let
the opposition have three-eighths
of the constitutional convention
to be heidi September. 1t is not
likely they will concedo this rea-

ed by reading OF Scripture and
prayer, led by G. w. Bussey.
The Chairman inquired if there
were any churches applying fol

No applications.

churches not to fall back in theil
contributions to our benevolent
objects, especially State Missions
Our Board is now in debt anc

Dornvjlle and Antioch we learn

some other churches had not made
their calls for this year.

! honored pair Of such an. occasion
command our respect, and their
descendants should b. proud to do
them homage. Providence ap-
points limit to the duration of all
the pleasant and desirable scenes
t,ef married life. Time, like a long
flowing stream making haste into
eternity, bearing upon its bosom
the varied impulses of life, sweeps
away all things with it which are
not immortal, ere this period of
married life is often reached.
Thrice happy should the man and
woman be who can for half GEN.
tury boast of the powers and pleas
ures and glories of their married
life.
Such an event was celebrated in
Shatterfeld on the End day of jan
uary at the residence of Mr.. and
Mrs. Tillman Harling.
Fifty years ago, Tillman Harling,
son of David Harling, one of the
sturdy Dutch. settlers of Sleepy
Creek, and Martha Jane Walker,
daughter of William G. Walker, of
Turkey Creek, whom some of US
remember as venerable and wor-
thy citizen, were joined in the Holy
Bonds Of matrimony. The 50th
anniversary of this union brought
fifty (50) members of the family
circle together, to do honor to the
venerable and worthy couple on
the day of their Golden Wedding.
Twelve children have been born to
Mr.. and Mrs. Harling, and are all
living except one, who died quite
young. The six noble sons of no.
BILE sire are al married except one.
The eldest son, L. P. Harling, mar
ried Miss Jane McManus, daughter
of the honest and compan ionable
James McManus, and has five chill
dren. J. Eldred Harling, End son,
removed to Texas some years ago,
and married Miss jamie Sitten, Of
that State. He is now a promi-
nent and successful farmer and
merchant, with eight children.
William Z. Harling, 3rd son, mar
ried Miss Josie Boyd, of the es-
teemed Boyd family Of Abbeville
county, and has four children.
Newton S. Harliug, 4th son, mar
ried Miss E. Grace West, daughter
of the good and generous Doctor
West, of Liberty Hill, aud has four
children. D. Walter Harling, 5th
son, has lately married Miss Ella
Brown, of the respected Brown
family of Abbeville county. Pierce
Butler HarIing, 9th son, is now in
Texas, unmarried.
The five worthy daughters are
all married to stable and honora-

writer's in the faculty Of the university,
but their subjects are more on the
scholastic order and so do not come
properly under the head Of literature.
Among the papers presented last winter
at the women's clubs were some OF a
very high order Of merit. Original
literary work is growing both in guam
tity and quality and with the next year
or two a strong literary organiza-
ton may be developed in which the best
work of the city may be heard.
II
Already the English club has done
much to unity the literary element Of
the city. Although the members are
all connected with the university yet
through its organ the Literary Maga-
zine, an interest has been excited
throughout the city. There is much to
write about in this western land, many
messages to be told to the world. and
there is no reason why Lincoln, the
Athens Of Nebraska, should not pro-
duce those who may tell these mes
sages to the world. / for one believe
that 10 our midst are writer's as good as
the best. All they want is little more
self confidence. Let them select home
themes and write with heart and soul
and success will crown their efforts.

Of subjects and handles them we'll,
Miss Katharine Melick OF the university
has written some exquisite little poems
She has imagination and true poetic
instinct. Her work in the university
papers is always good. Mics Flora Bull
lock is another writer that does good
work. She writes both verse and prose-
Some OF her prose work is especially
strong and invigorating. Miss Anna
Prey, member Of the English club Of
the university, does some fine things in
the way Of humorous writing. She has
the knack Of writing thirgs that are
irresistibly funny. Sometimes she
writes pathetic sketches that are as
delicately drawn as pastel painting.
Her mother, Mrs. Frances Prey, does
some excellent writing in verse.
IT
Miss Louise Pound is fine writer
alec. Some Of her papers that have
been read at the clubs this winter have
been Of very high grade Of merit. She
writes on literary subjects and is thor
Jughly saturated with her subject.
Miss Sarah Harris is a clever and
earnest critical writer, her art criti-
cisms being an especially high grade Of
work. She has had the advantage Of
travel and is a close observer. She is,
perhaps, the best authority on art in the
city.
NJ. De Lewis who writes over the nom
de plume Edgar Thorne, writes musical
verse and puts things cleverly. His
poems appear frequently in the Lincoln
papers and in the state papers.
IF
Mrs. John p. Maule has written some
dainty and entertaining children's
stories. She has talent in that direct
ion.
j. w. johnson has written some
Swedish dialect stories that have been
widely read.
Frank Parks is another young man
who has entered the domain Of litera-
ture and he has had considerable sue
cess.
c. Smith, who writes the "On the
Other Side" articles for The COURIER, is
an entertaining and clever writer. He
draws good pictures of what he sees
and that is the true secret OF writing
after all.
IT
Peter H. Thompson, Of the university.
is young man OF much promise. He
has written but little as yet, hut what
he has turned out has been polished
and Clearly written. His little sonnet,
Song and Singer" in the Nebraska
Literary Magazine, was a dainty piece
Of word painting. He is still very
youthful, but he has the true poetic
instinct. He has poetic face, fine eyes
and the usual nervous temperament.

There are many other good writer's,
but in this short article but few can be

LITERARY LINCOLN.

The writer's in Lincoln are many. 1t
could not be otherwise in q city OF 90
many colleges and universities. There
are few names that stand out prominent.
ly a. yet beyond the local horizon. but
there are names that Sill some day have
q wide fame. In the university are a
number Of writer's that show remark
able talent. 1t the city also are num-
Der who have the writing fever and the
work produced, some of it, is better than
amateurish.
~
Perhaps at the head of the list of the
writer's Of Lincoln the name Of Miss
Villa Gather should stand. She is a
strong writer. She has ideas and she
knows how to express them, and to ex-
press them well. As critic she is fear
less, and has the knack of seeing things
as they really are, and Of writing them
80 that other people may see them. lie,
dramatic work compares most favora sly
with work of like nature on the great
Chicago papers and without a doubt
she has a great future before her. She
states thing strongly. She is one OF
the most original writer's in the city.
tt
Among those who write verse is A. l..
Bixby. Who does not know Bixby?
That man of infinite good humor, the
laughing philosopher. His writings are
always read by everybody in the city.
He has the knack Of writing that which
will interest everybody and he says what
he has to say in such an inimitably
funny way that the man whom he is
holding up to ridicule must perfOrce
laugh at himself. As a poet he writes
things that will make people laugh.
Once in a while he will write the most
tenderly pathetic verses, but usually he
will start out on a pathetic theme, and
then as though he were ashamed to
show any feeling. he will with two or
three sentences of slang or funny ex-
pressions take all the pathos out of the
poem. His book 'Driftwood" has made
him many friends, and has brought him
into notice among the people Of the
state.
Fl
Herbert Bates, of the state university,
is also a writer of much strength and
originality. His work has not appeared
in this city to any great extent. He
has written some most exquisitely beau
tiful poems. One published in the
Nebraska Literary Magazine some time
ago was very strongly written. He
writes Of the sea great deal, that being
his favorite subject, although he has
caught the spirit of these western
prairies we'll, and some of his best work
has been in the line Of western scene
painting. Mr.. Bates is a true poet; he
appreciates poetry wherever he Gees it.
He has high appreciation Of the beau
tiful in music and art and he gives ex-
preston through his poems to the
appreciation he has for these things.

Myra. E. Olmstead also writes verse.
