Meade Co. Descriptive Booklets

While the booklet descriptive
of Meade county was on the
press and while it was being
bound many persons asked that
we print copies for sale so that
they could get some to send to
friends east. We there Or e
printed some extra copies and
have them for sale at 1Octs. each.
We have also ordered envelopes
to carry them without folding so

nation unin jured. These book
lets have advertisements of the
business men Of the county and
of the leading stock men. They
are profusely illustrated with
cuts of private residences, places
of interest and public buildings.
The descriptive matter is well
written and interesting as well
as answering the questions usual
ly asked by strangers. They are
such a book as your friends will
appreciate and keep to show Wis
itors. They consist of "a pages
of the matter described, bound
in paper covers, with Meade
county farm scenes on the front
and an artesian well on the back.
They will not last long and those

The Methodist Social.

Last Saturday the ladies' of
the Methodist aid society held a
social at Phelps opera house,
VII c h Notwithstanding h e
stormy weather was a success
from every point of view. The
social side of the entertainment
was enjoyable and the attend
ance was good. The receipts
were 10000 which was a very en-
courageing amount all things
considered. In the evening the
Won Prosky band came to the
hall with their instruments and
en1ivened the last part of the en-
tertainment with good music.
With pleasant company, well
loaded tables and good music
there could be no hinderance to
a good time.

Bjghorn mountains became nervous
as to the distance travelled, and ask
ed Bridser if it was not possible
that they had crossed the Oregon
trail without noticing it. Bridger
gave the Captain one long stare of
amazement, and without word
rode off parlayzed by such unheard-
of ignorance. Later he came to St.
Louis and one day sitting IN the
street an old acquaintance found him
alone, dispirited, apparently in con-
temptation of changed conditions.
Accosting him, Bridger said 81 am
glad to see you. I have been sitting
in this damned canyon all morning
waiting for some one to drink with. :"
AS Old age approached he left the
scenes of his early activities and
settled on a farm near Westport,
Mo-, where he died on July II, 1881.
His chief reputation was as guide,
and his knowledge of topography of
any country over which he travelled
was wonderful. Especially was that
true of comparative elevations of
places and passes in the mountain.
separatee by considerable distance.
1t is related that when the engineers
of the u. P. road were seeking pass
through the mountains, someone ad-
vised them to consult James Bridger.
They wrote the old man to come on
to head quarters, sending transpor-
tation via stage. He arrived and
asked what they wanted with him.
When told he cursed them long and
fuently for their stupidity in causing
to take such long trip. He looked
about the camp, picked up a large
piece of wrapping paper and piece
of charcoal. Sitting down at the
table he rapidly drew sketch map
of the ranges indicating the best
routes and lowest grades. On the
lines indicated by him the rails were
laid and no lower route has been dis
covered. The returning stage car
ried Linn back to his farm.

Uncle Joe Brannan Gets Good
News.

Uncle Joe Brannan, who has
been since we first met him here
in 1886, a constant worker in the
temperance cause has just heard
good news from relatives east.
A cousin of his whom he visited
this fall in Colum bus, Oh o,
writes him that the fight, which
said cousin organized in that city
against the saloon element, has
won by a ma jority of s, 400.
Then about the same time he
received a letter froma brother
in Monticello, Ill, who some time
age swore to a complaint under
which the officers of that town
siezed 5 dray loads of wet goods
and gambling devices and the
trial of which has been dragging
through all of the courts to the
one of last resort, has finally
won out and while Uncle Joe was
there the 5 loads were by the
sheriff taken out and burned.
The forces of temperance are
slowly but surely closing in on
the whiskey business and it is
doomed. It is likely that a law
will be proposed in Congress at
at the coming term which will
forbid distillers and brewers to
ship in territory which by vote
is dry any of their goods,

Hogs For Profit In Meade Co.

S. N. Rats of the Glenwood ranch
(the old Gray place)up the valley
has just closed year with Red Jer-
sey hogs. During the last past
year he has sold So, 900. 90 worth of
hogs on which he cleared an even
81, 100000. Is there any business
that will pay bigger profit? Mr..
Rats says that the red hog and al
falfa are the proper combination to
produce satisfactory bank ac-
count. We wish to add in general
way that hogs in this county have
from the first been healthy, there is
no trouble with cholera and the.
weather is about the proper thing
for young pigs so that the raising
of hogs Is both an easy and profit
able business on the farms of this
county.
Herbert Conger returned this
week from his pleasure trip to the
east and northeast. Herbert says
he had good time and enjoyed the
visit hugely and has taken his old
case at the Globe office.
Our exchanges both from east
and west bring sad tales of dam
age by the recent storm. The
destruction did not reach further
east than Mullinville, while to
the west it seems to have extend
ed to the mountains. The ice
and sleet are reported worse on
both sides of us than here. At
Bucklin nearly all of the tele-
phone poles went down with the
load of ice on the. wires, and the
telegraph lines Jared no better.
To the west not only are the
telegraph and telephone lines
down and business suspended on
the lines, but.the accumulation
of Russian thistles on the fences
together with the ice, and wind
resulted in the breaking of farm
fences. The fence wires and
thistles in many places c1oging
the roads, which with with snow
that fell at the closing of the
storm makes the roads nearly
impossible. In this country, the
storm did not do so much dam
age. Although many poles are
down. The phone company had
men out soon as the stoam was
over, and the main lines are
mostly repaired, so that they are
usable. Some short lines out into
the counry are not yet reached
and snch neighbors-hoods arecut
off from the world. Friday night
a snow began falling which con-
tinues up to the present, Sat
urday at noon.

Missionaries Return.

c. S. Hu1burt arrived home
from the missionary tour to the
Land and Irrigation Exhibition
at Chicago.
Mr.. Hubert reports on his
mission: that the Meade exhibit
was the only one from Kansas
and the one which attracted the
most attention. There were
many who expressed an inten-
ton to come out in the future
and see for themselves the truth
of the showing made. More
over the booklets were eagerly
asked for and kept, not thrown
down as others were. The book
let was among the best if not the
best there. The artesian well
was the real thing and caused
much questioning. The boys
did good servece and the result
will be seen for years. DIR.
Simpson remained in Chicago to
care for the exhibits and clean
up.
We stop the press to tell you
that DIR. w. w. Simpson arrived
home today from his missionary
work at Chicago. The doctor
came home via the Omaha Corn
Show and can talk interestingly
of either place, but his sympath
les as well as his hard workwere
with the Chicago Land and Irri-
cation exhibition.

Graves-P Palmer.

Married at the home of the father
Of the bride, Mr.. Elliott Palmer, in
Cliftonvill, Mo, Sunday Dec 5th
at I M. Mr.. Herbert D. Graves and
Miss Julia Palmer. Mr. Graves is
the oldest son of J. R:Grayes, pres
ident of the First National bank in
Meade. Herbert is one of /our
young men of much promise, born
here, educated in the Meade high
school and a graduate of the Salt
City Business College at Hutchin-
son. Miss Palmer is the daughter
Of one of the best families of the
staid old community from which
she comes and is not entirely a
stranger to our people. A year or
two ago she made a visit to her
sister, Mrs. R. S. Gerow and while
here endeared herself to our best
people, among whom she has many
friends. Herbert has always been
a quiet boy and steady young man
attending to business on his fathers
place and is now a thorough busi-
ness farmer. The News with the
two school mates of Herbert who
are working on the paper wish the
young people all of the pleasures
and success in life which shall be
f OF their permenent happiness.
The young people on their return
on No. were met at the depot by
number of relatives and crowd
of friends to greet them with good
wishes and help them rejoice in
their new found happiness.
Every week we give away a
large number of copies of the
News to persons who wish to
send them to friends in the east.
Each one sees some thing which
especially attracts their atten-
ton as an item they would like
TO have the folks at the old home
read. This brings to mind that
the Christmas season is coming
on and that many are thinking
what shall | send to such a friend
east. 1t strickes us that sub.
scription to the, News for the
coming year would be as well
come a present as you could
send. It would be interesting
as a paper if the recipient knew
nothing of this county and with
the added interest of receiving
news of the doings and progress
of the land of the sender would
be doubly welcome. 1t will also
help to bring you neighbors
from among your friends and
relatives of the east.
Col. d. E. Ballard returned to
his home in Washington, Kan.
sas, on No. 2 Saturday.
