GREELEY.

M. ] Miller went to Glidden last
week.
Oscar Miller sold horse to the Au-
dubon buyers Friday.
James Eagan had straw hauling
the first of the week.
George Campbell, of Melville, was
rustling stock in Greeley Wednesday.
Frank Duvall struck bargain with
the local buyers and did not ship his
hogs.
Melvin Masterson delivered three
fine young horses to Harm Rice last
Tuesday, receiving just Sl28t per
head for same.
Watch for the assessor, for he is
going to put each one of US in a sweat
box this year. We shall have to tell
all we know and then some.
Kane William has been enjoying a
visit during the last two weeks from
his friend John Killion, from Neb-
raska, who returned Saturday.
The special meetings at the Union
Baptist church, did not, as was in
tended, close Sunday evening, but
will continue throughout the week.
Greeley patrons of the Blue Grass
Creamery, regretlosing Noah Crane as
their hauler. but extend theirfullest con-
fidence to his successor, Mr.. John
Reed.
Mr.. Otis Largent, of Adair, accom-
panied by his lady, Miss Maude
Boehme, of Audubon township, spent
Saturday and Sunday with the Kness's
in east Greeley.
A very severe attack of neuralgia
FRUSTRATED Mrs. John Eagan We'd
nesday. DR.. Fulton was summoned
from Audubon, under whose skill the
patient is now convalescing.
In the gray twilight of Tuesday
evening of last week, Ira Johnson's
coy bachelor home was burned to
ashes. He was fortunate in that he
rescued all his personal belongings
except some seed corn and binder can
vas. Defective fue arrangements
seem the cause of the disaster.
The substance of certain Divine's
remarks was that if the bible said that
Jonah swallowed the whale, he would
have still believed it. We think such
blind believing hopelessly buries the
truth and makes the church an empty
meaningless thing. The bible warns
US against such a puerile attitude.
We attended religious services few
nights since, and listened to a very
good sermon that came from far away
beyond great heap of velvet, plush,
tawdry ornaments and feathers which
completely hid the minister from view.
We ''rubbered" rudely, but only now
and then could we catch glimpse of
the preacher as his right hand shot
out beyond the trembling protuber-
ances of that fashionable winter hat.
THE HUMOROUS SIDE OF AN.
AWFUL DOUBT
I'm sad tonight and full of grief,
And nothing brings to me relief
But thoughts OF my departed Bet
| fear she's gone where can't get.
| can't find out just where she went
And that's what makes this awful rent
Within my sad and sluggish heart
| can't see why she did depart
Land sakes," that makes my whole
frame SILVER,
For we'll / know she could not swim.
If that's the case her chance is slim.
A FIRESIDE THOUGHT.
How gently falls the snow
Upon the frozen world!
The brooks that days ago
Through verdant woodland puzzled,
Are sleeping silently
Beneath the naked trees.
Thus sleep my joys today
After Life's cruel freeze.
Oh! will they wake once more
AS wake the brooks in spring?
And on some sunny shore,
Again will my soul sing,
And rove the summer fields,
. OF peaceful happy thought?
'Tis so. My hard heart yields
Oh Love, what hast thou wrought!
The Baptist minister, Mr.. c. V.
Bentley, was seen hurrying southwark
Wednesday morning, january Is.
We wondered. Early in the night a
bold band of ninety serenaders made
such a noise as to wreck the south
side of our township. Investigation
revealed the fact that Mr.. Bentley had
been called to the l.. G.. Schweneker
home to officiate in uniting Mr.. Berley
A. Railsback and Miss Gusta Schwen-
neker in the bonds of matrimony.
1t was quiet ceremony, performed
under propitious circumstances and
followed by sumptuous dinner. Mr..
Fred Boehme and Miss Gertrude
Schweneker, younger, sister of the
bride, were groomsman and brides
maid. After passing the remainder of
the winter with the groom's parents,
this young couple will begin life ser
iously in the city of Stuart.
Toward an island far away
Glides bark far DER Lies sea.
May it reach the fragrant shore,
And in some calm harbor moor.
