Fred Schneider disposed of his
farm of 1913 acres near Camp Doug
lass to an implement dealer of
Wonewoc and took the nipple
ment business in exchange, max
ing very profitable deal. He
received $1,000 for his farm and
turned over stock, implements,
crops garnered and still in the field
in fact everything, to the pur-
chaser for 81, 800 additional, realiz-
ing $500 therefor. He has al
ready moved to Wonewoc with his
family and assumed charge of the
implement trade. Wonewoc is a
f1ourishing little town of 1900 on
the Omaha and Fred has the only
machinery depot in the place, con-
sequently no opposition. He is an
industrious, hustling fellow and
we are sure he viii, be successful
in the venture.
He would terrorize the neigh
bors in a most outrageous way,
break the wide worlds standing
records in athletics every day;
while in pugilistic circles he would
wipe men in the dust, and show
master tricks at fencing-laugh
at every cut and thrust. He slew
tigers in the jungle and scalped
redskins on the plain; he chased
lions DER the mountains and har-
pooned them on the main; he
could break bucking broncho,
yes, and rope a Texas steer; sling
a bowie knife or Ratchet, throw the
boomerang or spear. In hair
breadth fights he gloried, did this
worthy son of Mars; and could lick
his weight In wildcats, kick them
higher than the stars. But his
shoes were in his pocket and his
face was CHASTITY white; he was
silent as an oyster when he climbed
the stairs at night.
The Lecture Course committee
believes that in John Temple Graves
it has secured the first orator of the
country, and hopes that Lancaster
will show it's appreciation of the OPP
portunity offered. We have had
no speaker of Mr.. Graves class since
the days of Vending and Swing.
This is the only lecture on the Lee
ture Course" and ought to be liber-
ally patronized. The committee has
been criticised by some whose intel
lectual interest cannot be aroused
by concerts, on the score that the
course should consist of about four
lectures, with one concert or other
entertainment. We rely on these
critics coming to the fore and giving
John Temple Graves a big audience
outside of regular stockholders.
Surely the merit of the man deserves
this mark of appreciation. Though
Lancaster may not want Gas we be-
lieve it does nOt) a course of lee
lures, yet it does want a first-class
speaker to give variety and zest,
and in John Temple Graves we have
the man. Reeds opera house, Fri
day, Dec. 18th.
