The Norfolk weekly news. (Norfolk, Neb.) 1888-1900, 1900-03-29

and while II seems rather fishy, it is
true. just lGl days ago lastj Friday,
while jim Manghimer was threshing he
covered mp Il hen with straw, and when
on Friday he uncovered her, he found
her still alive, though in n weak condi-
ton. The hen had lived that length of
time without food or water. She was
sitting on one egg when found, but we
did not learn whether the egg was still
fresh, but are inclined to believe that it
had seen better days.
The officers of the Masonic lodge of
this city received n telephone message
this morning announcing the death Of
j. l.. Avery at his home in Battle Creek,
which occurred yesterday. The
deceased was a Mason and the funeral
will be- conducted tomorrow afternoon
at 2 80 under the auspices of that order
All members of the Norfolk lodge have
been invited to attend. Mr.. Avery is
quite well known here, he having taken
considerable interest in county politics.
1t is expected that n number of Norfolk
people will attend the funeral services.
A gentleman who was in town this
morning, and who has been prominently
connected with a large wholesale insti-
tuition, stated that he had watched
closely the efforts of Norfolk business
men to get better freight rates and was
much interested in the fight being made.
He said that as soon as Norfolk secured
what was asked he stood ready to put
in a wholesale house that would bring
four or five families here and would
employ from 10 to 10 persons.
The enterprise contemplated would
handle several carloads of farmers
produce each month.

Battle Greek Republican: j. ID,
Hoover and JAS. Taylor went down to
Norfolk Saturday and ordered Of f. B.
Alderman a monument to be erected at
the grave of Clark Hoover. Mr.. Taylor
informs us that the monument chosen
will be cut out of blue marble and will
stand ten feet high. It's costs will be
$40 all of which amount has been
subscribed and only remains to be
collected when it becomes due. The
monument will be ready for shipmen,
about the first of May, and as that will
be near Decoration day, we should
think the erection of it might be post
poned until then and be made a feature
of the services on that occasion.
