An English Deed

We were shown an English
deed Tuesday by H. Lomax that
he had received from his mother
country for his signature. The
instrument was conveying eight
lots of real estate in England.
The execution of the deed was
all done by hand and its size was
remarkable. 1t consists of two
sheets of sheep skin, each about
20x36 inches and contains over
1000 words. The two pages
were fastened together with
seals and the upper margin has
several indentures which are
matched by an exact copy in the
magistrates or records Office
where the deed or indenture was
executed. The revenue stamps
on the instrument alone are
worth $50, an amount equal to
several lots that might be locat-
ed in Custer county.

Love the Farm.

The young man who marries
an industrious and sensible girl,
who is brave and true, and set
ties down to work and save upon
a Custer county farm, can sue
coed more frequently than those
who seek other occupations.
The farmers in Custer county
will be more and more the re-
spectacle element of best society.
There is no place where joy,
freedom, and love are more real
ICED than in the professions near
to nature. It will be blessing
to our country when the silly tide
that has set in toward our cities,
is stopped, and the young men
and young girls take Drawer
and higher view of life than de-
pendence and existence in cities.
There is no social, educational,
or religious culture in cities but
may be had on the farm. Around
Sargent are farm homes that are
an ornament to our country, and
where health, happiness and cul-
ture, are always in evidence.
Life on the farm need not be
drudgery. Too much of the as
sumed drudgery is lack of love
and plan in the work. If some
of the young men on the farm
would follow the successful bust.
ness man in the city to his weary
hours of accounting after the
days work is over, perhaps he
would less dislike the evening
and morning chores. There is
yearning in nearly all men OF
closed professions for the fresh
air, and singing birds, and free
dom of the farm. Love the farm
and make the farm lovely. -Sar.
gent Leader.

that no nomination will be made
for United States district attorn-

is for Harry Lindsay, chairman

committee. Senator Willard en-
dorses W. S. Summers, the pres
ent incumbent. A third candi-
date is W. F. Gurley of Omaha.
If this is true, it is only neces-

to "agree" to prevent a new ap.

1t has not been our pleasure in
long time, if ever, to enjoy
more pleasan' banquet than the
one at the Globe Tuesday night
given by The retiring members
of the County board, Messers
James Henry, Fin Morris and
Surveyor F. E. VanAntwerp.
The retiring members of the
board felt greatful to their CO.

county officers for the courtises
and happy associations in the

they adopted to express their APP
probation. The invited guests
consisted of the members of the
county board, the county officers
and few other guests, twenty
two in number.

familiar with the capacity of the
hosts of the evening had fully
estimated the capacity of their
guests and was amply prepared.
Indeed it was astonishing, as
course after course was placed
before them to see the era ming
process proceed and the rapidity
with which the oysters, celery,
fish, turkey, roast beef and
double load dishes of desert van
ished before that crowd. The
bill of fare was not only elaborate
but had been prepared by cullin-
airy artists capable of catering to
the tastes of the most fastidiouS
appetites. The dispatch with
which the dishes were served,
without ostentation was a mark
ed feature of the occasion for
which the walters are due great
credit.
Mr.. Morris assumed the role
of toast master of the occasion
and he performed his duties adj
mirably. Speeches from nearly
every one present were called
out and happy vein of humor
and logic was characteristic of
them all, High compliment was
paid to honesty, integrity and
business judgement Of the out
going members and to the present
board in general for. their enter
prising and progressive admins
tration Of the affairs of the
county in the year past. The
county officers came in for their
full share of compliments. 1t
was an occasion long to be re-
membered with pleasure and
gratitude by all present.

A Public Reception for d E Thompson

The Commercial Club of Lin
coin is making arrangements for
the citizens of Lincoln and the
state to tender to D. E. Thomp-
son and wife a public reception
on the evening of January p,
1908, in honor of Mr.. Thompson
having been honored recently by
the appointment as Envoy Elk
traordinary and Minister Plemi-
potentiary to Brazil. All rail
roads have made a one fare rate
to Lincoln and return to be in
effect at that time. The editor
of the REPUBLICAN has been APP
pointed member of the execu-
tive committee from Custer
county and all who desire to at
tend this reception will confer a
favor by notifying him before
the 10th of the present month.
This no doubt will be a brilliant
state function and the low rates
made by the rail roads at that
time will afford opportunity for
many to visit the state capita
and participate in the reception
without great cost.
