yania gets one good rain it would
soon spoil. 1t is not so in Nebraska.
1t keeps in good condition on piles
in open weather and in fact some
Nebraska farmers say it improves
the corn. Even where cribs are
built they are erected without putt
ing roof over them. Beyondthese
observations of the immense corn
crop, our tripwas uneventful, except
perhaps the privilege ofcrossing the
Platte river, the draining system OF
the state. We reached Lincoln at
4:2O, Wednesday afternoon. We
must leave the description Of this
place for future letter. Suffice it
to say it is the home of some Snyder
and Union County people. Among
them are A. X. Gift, the surveyor
of Nebraska and B. T. Parks and
family, former residents Of Middle
burg, and DR.. G. G. Meyer and wife
and Harry Harter and family of
Hartleton, Union Co., Pa. Before
closing it will be interesting for our
farmers to know that Nebraska
farmers are just harvesting their
oats crop. Some of the oats is cut
and bound into sheaves, but a great
deal Of it is cut as Pennsylvania
farmers cut grass and hauled away
like hay. G. w. w.

of this city were fused and nominate
ed ticket to defeat the Republican
gold elements. Among the passeng-
iers on the train was Ex-Governor
Holcomb. He took a seat immedia-
tely in front of the writer. The ex-
Governor was nominated the night
before for Supreme Court Of Nebr-
aska Oh the fusion ticket and on the
way down here to Lincoln, the heel
ers on the train gave Ho'comb ample
assurances of their loyal support,
and if the vote of those on the train
could have decided the matter, Hol-
comb would be judge. The ex-Gov-
enor is tall heavy-set fellow, not
very handsome, but he seems to be
in with the boys. The state of Ne
braska pays its Governor the mag
nificent salary of $4,000 per
year pennsylvania pays $4,000
per Year, and when Holcomb was
was governor, the legislature appro-
priated some money to pay the rent
for the Governors house. Some fel-
low has recently made the allegation
that Holcomb drew more money than
his rent amounted TO. If | could
only find that fellow, l would like
to send him to Harrisburg to give
him food for thought. Holcomb
of course denies the charge, but if
the state of Nebraska cannot afford
to pay more than s25OO as Gov
crnor's salary, they must expect to
be fleeced in some way. In Penn
sylvania a man can be Governor for
4 years at $4,000 a year, live on
the fat of the land and retire from
Office As a millionaire.
The scenery from Omaha to Lin
coin is nothing magnificent, but it
discloses an indisputable fact that
the corn crop of Nebraska is going
to be very large. The states of IL
linois and Iowa were the leaders in
this respect for many years, but last
year Nebraska had the largest crop
of corn. 1t leads al! other states.
We passed fields OF corn that EXTEND
ed as far as the eye could reach. 1
am told that farmer plants an en-
tire section of $40 acres in corn.
This land produces heavy crops Of
corn, a stalk bearing two aud three
ears of corn much larger than is
grown in Pennsylvania. l cut the
following from the Nebraska State
Journal: "The corn crop this year
in Nebraska is 50 large that all the
lumber in the state wouldn't make
cribs enough with those already con-
to shelter it ALL" Laugh
ed when 1 read it and accepted it as
Il huge joke. l am, however, assur-
ed that there is great deal of truth
in the statement. OF course, lumber
is imported to make cribs and the
Of corn is piled up in the
fields and hauled to the markets
whenever the price is acceptable.
This statement will seem "fishy" to
a Pennsylvania farmer, because if
only a small pile ofcorn in Pennsyl-

Joe Hanks has recently purchased q
new up-t0-date Viking wheel.
It was the happy @ pleasure OF this
of the Zarline School last Thursday
night, and from the way the pupils ac-
quilted themselves goes to show that
the teachers, Miss Leslie Branyon and
Miss Cora Elgin, have we'll rendered
their faithful services to the patrons of
the school. We would like to make
mention of all the songs, rccitatiOns,
dialogues, charades. ETC., but for tho
want of space we will not. Owing to
the large crowd present everybody
never got seated, and goodly number
failed to see or hear any of the pro-
grammc. There was n certain crowd
of worthless scAmps who didn't do
anything but steal, for we missed a
good buggy whip and wc heard of an
other fellow losing new buggy cush-
ion. The good book says, "thOu shalt
not steal" but regardless of the Bible
or the laws of our State, there is n GER
tain class of people that will continue
to do this which they know is wrong.

This is good weather for grumblers.
All winter it was too wet, and now it is
too dry, SO the grmmblers are making
good use of the time. They say if it

calamity, as there will be very little
other fruit.

He got up in his sleep and put on his

MIR. EDITOR: The Anderson Graded
School closed Friday, May 18th. We
think all who attended and inspected
the work of the children in the differ
cnt grades, felt much gratified with the
success Of the school and the patient
work of all the teachers. The cxcr-
cises i'll the Third Grade. taught by
Mrs. NOVEL;, consisted in dialogues
and speeches by the children and an
exhibit of their work in the way Of
maps. original stories and problems in
arithmetic. The singing was beautiful
and i'll perfect time. showing careful
and patient training. The children
were bright and responsive. and their
little voices rang ont clear and true in
the songs and choruscs. This teacher,
while training the minds of her pupils,
has not neglected the higher culture of
the heart and soul-teaching the little
ones courtesy, charity and love of the
true and beautiful. A lasting impress
sion for good has been made on thci,
young hearts along with their practical
studies and duties. a VISITOR.

The Veterans Pleased With Charles
tons Hospitality.
G.. ID. MORRISON

ANDERSON, 5. G., May 18th. 1899.
Editors Mtciiigcncrr: Please give
space in your columns for Il few old
Veterans to thank the kind, generous
hearted citizens of Anderson, who SO
kindly assisted us to visit the Charles
ton Reunion. the grandest ovation ever
rendered the Confederate Veterans.
May God bless the people of Anderson.
Through them we have partakcn Of
that we never dreamed of; we met
those we never expected to see again j;
we can not find words to express our
gratitude to the good people Of Ander
son. AS to Charleston we can only say
she overdone the thing. And while
we are loud in our praise for the City
by the Sen, we regret that one Of our
number should return home and under
rate the thing. Going, as lie did, on Il
complimentary ticket, free from any
expense, had he only eaten black mo-
lasscs, bread and water, any old hero
would have praised it. We will tell
the people what we had and no truth
full Veteran will deny it. Here is the
bill of fare: Boiled ham, boiled beef,
beef hash. Irish potatoes, rice. loaf
bread, corn bread, pickles, good coffee
and sugar. Wccat on nice table, had
new dishes, new knives and forks, and
think LAO men were served ut once.
We also had cots to sleep on. Gen. Joe
Wheeler inspected our lodging and
pronounced it good in fact, he snid in
our presence that Charleston was ahead
of all the reunions he had seen. Now,
Mr.. Editor, this is tho truth, the whole
truth and nothing else.
Long live the people Of Anderson is
the wish of your humble servants.
