Other Extreme This Week

the city Monday as a witness in
a final proof case.

ing the county fair.

county fair.
A committee of the board of
supervisors has been engaged in
checking up the Office of the
county treasurer the past few
days.
The uptown merry-go-whizz
started last Saturday night and
was more than literally patron
lied. 1t was free ride for
everybody.

herd Of very fine shorthorn

progressive stockmen of Custer

The squirrels in the park
born this last SPRING wonder
what's the reason for all this
noise and confusion both day and
night and they don't venture on
the ground very often.
Reese & Warehouses; herd of
Duroc Jersey hogs at the county
fair would be a credit at the state
fair. Parties that favor that
breed of hogs need GO no farther
to find the best individuals the
state affords.
The school rooms in Broken
Bow are pretty much deserted
this week and it's playing
hockey" in most instances. The
county fair is more of an attrac-
ton than studying and reciting
lessons.

man former Custer county citi-
zens, who areIno located at Paonia,

mems of pears, peaches, apples
and grapes on exhibition at the

Leavenworth Co., Omaha, real
estate dealers, was in the city
last Thursday having piloted a
bunch of prospective land buyers
to this section of the state. They
are large holders of land here
abouts and have quite a number
of farms listed with them for
sale.
These are the days Of big ears
of corn. Up to date the largest
one brought to this office was
raised on the farm Of A. II. Sims,
five miles south of town, by his
son, E. w. Sims. All the speci-
mems brought in were fine, but
one is a whopper. 1t is esti-
M ted the yield will be about
sixty bushels per acre.
John Collier. from near Ar
cadia, was IN the city last-week
and feeling pretty good over the
prospects of bountiful harvest.
For sometime he has been suffer
ing with a lame back, but had to
come to the county seat on bust
ness then, so would, have to
forego the pleasure of attending
the big fair, although he dis
liked TO do so.
Rev. Levack, who has been
pastor of the Baptist church the
past two years, preached his
farewell sermon last Sunday.
He has accepted a call of a
church at Nora Springs, Iowa,
for which place he will leave
next Tuesday. Mr.. Levack is a
fine Christian gentleman, an
able preacher and we predict for
him a successful pastorate in his
new field. He has had forty-two
accessions to the church here in
the past year.
