Mrs. Lula Pheasant has gone over to
Pierce, to spend q few weeks visiting her
brother Il. E. Pheasant, N. d.
II. l.. Mickey, one OF the prominent
farmers OF the valley, was EMO ying the
sunlight spd shadows of Columbus last
week.
Mrs. Jennie Rathbun came over from
Columbus, to visit with her mother and
to look after her real estate interests.
She was like tho pilgrim, and could just
tarry for Q night.
Mr.. and Mrs. Will Carson drove over
to Columbus last Saturday, and back on
Sunday. Will gets about all the riding
that he can stand anyway for he is the
R.F. ID. carrier out of Osceols, but he
took the good lady OF the house over to
consult one of Columbus's physicians.
County Judge b. H. Campbell has
been carrying q pocket book that looked
q though an elephant stepped on it, it
was fiattened out 80, but it was replen-
ished last week, for the Judge issued the
necessary papers to we'd to Miss Ida Belle
Erickson and Joseph o. L. Hirsch. snc
to Miss Effie Aida Carlson and Mr.. Her
man A. Jones.
Among the distinguished pOstmasters
that were present at the Chicago q. D.
p. convention, besides the gentlemen
from Polk, was Postmaster Carl Kramer
OF Columbus. Carl was delegate to
the N. W. A. convention at Peoria, ILL.,,
and Chicago lie in the same state, and so
two birds could be killed with one stone,
or it did not cost much extra to take in
: both of tho shows.
Polk county Prohibitionists are wond-
erfully pleased, that they are going TO
get "Our Charlie" C. q. Lindburg of Polk
for state auditor, and Henry T. Hocken-
berger OF Columbus for secretary of state.
The ticket is q good one that was endOrs-
ed at Lincoln last week, and more espe-
cially these two gentlemen that We have
mentioned. Don't forget to vote for
them in the primaries in September.
The Jsrmin's have q doctor in the
family now, Ernest G. Jarmin, NJ. D.,
and last week the state board of health
granted him his license to practice in the
state. We are glsd to say that Ernest
passed % good an examination before
the board as any of them. and besides
Ernest, George G. Flippin of Stroms-
burg, also received license to practice.
and We presume his single will read,
George g. Fippin, n. D. Stromsburg,
Nebraska.
There are to be numerous celebrations
of the Glorious Fourth in Polk county.
Every city is going it alone. Some OF
our people are wearing the Silver Creek
booster 4th buttons, but when the whole
matter is sumed up, it is predicted that
Columbus viii catch more Polk county
people 1t their celebration, than any
place within fifty miles. Special trains
arc provided, and all roads lead to that
city on the 4th. Now then, put that in
your pipe and smoke it.
There will be no celebration OF the
Fourth on the east of US in the county
this year, and the probability is that
there will be none west of Omaha until
you get to Osceola, and so this burg is
getting ready to give the visitors the
time OF their life" We doubt very much
n there will be much of q celebration
vest OF Omahs until You get to Colum-
bus, and those people over there are to
have q red hot time. All the people on
valley will 60 to Columbus.
