Will Ryan, who lives on the west
side of Buffalo creek and south of the
Wednesday, and phoned home for them
to drive to Red Cloud for him. They
replied that the bridges were all wash.
ed away on the creek and the fences
were strung around every which way
so that they couldn't come after him at
present. and he would have to lay up
in Red Cloud until the water w~entdown
so they could ford the creek. That's
the way it rains in this neck % woods.
Rev. A. "A. Gresham nOunce last
Sunday that he would preach the com
ing Sunday morning upon the subject,
Our Schools" This Is IA timely sub.
iect, inasmuch as III schools open the
morning following. 1t will be of great
interest to parents. scholars, school
boards and teachers-in fact to all who
feel an interest in the preparation OF
our young people for their life work.
Rev. Gresham is an old teacher and an
experienced schoolman, and is well
qualified to talk o the subject. 1t will
be practical. Go and hear him.
The school board has rented two
rooms i'm the Damerell block and the
high school will occupy them this win.
ter. 1t seems a shame tnat with the
amount of idle money there is lying in
the banks of Red Cloud and Webster
county there is no one with enough
pride in their home town to purchase
these school bonds. The investment is
as safe rs the country itself, and peo-
Pile who have money lying around in
old shoes, socks, and tin cans might
be making at least enough to pay the
tax on it if they would dig il up and
buy the school bonds.
The baseball grounds have been fixed
up i'm nice shape. A new grandstand
has been erected in the northeast cor
ner of the grounds, the diamond has
been scraped and everything isin read
mess for a big tournament. The games
today and tomorrow should be well
patropized, as our boys have gone to
a great deal of expense To make every
thing comfortable for spectators. The
new layout of the grounds will give
the outfielders a much better chance,
and, while the diamond has a slight
slope that may bother the boys for q
while, it will be equally bothersome to
the visiting teams.
