Communicated.
Fremont, Neb.,, Aug 10
On arrival here on Tuesday,
morning, August 10th. I-foundt
Mr.. and Mrs. Hibben and their |
two youngest children, on their
Garden City fruit farm. The
two older children whose native
city, is Missouri Valley, were
away on their vaca ion visit.
Robert, WHO was graduated
from the Fremont High school
is now travelingsin the western
states, will visit the coast be-
fore he returns. He had plan
ned to % to Ames, Iowa, this
fall, tus vas offered good wages
to work in a large Creamery in
Frs mont, during the coming
year, so he decided to acc-pt.
1.-The position, and will start in1
in September, for a four years
term at Ames, iowa.
Anna, with her cousin Ethel
Hibben, of Norfolk, Neb., are
spending their vacation liz Wa
bash, and Chicago. Anna will
graduate next year from the.
High school.
Mr.. Hibben's house sits back
from the street, and in front is
a large half circle shade drive
way with nearly 400 feet of
hedge in front by the road, and
is very pretty.
The Garden City school house
lis less than a block from the
Eibben home, and Mr.. Hibben
is one of the school directors.
His farm is two miles from the
city, but there are homes nearly
all the way, as Aeme 1T has
]'Deen growing foryears, and the
Hibben home is now only half a
mile from the corporation.
| A walk and a rest in the shade
of the rows of apple trees, all
laden with fruit is q delight. J
The rich Creamery milk they
gave me, ! greatly Appreciated:
By the way, Mrs. Addie Hobs
Morgan, of Chadron, Nebraska,
was the first organists-o of the
Baptist S. s., twosyears before
the church was organized. Mrs
Nell Cam Hibben was the first

One reason for the growth Of
Fremont is found in the fact
that her citizens are loyal to
their own town. A lady told
line that she and her sister had
been teachers for more than a
score of years, and never had a
silk dress, and the family never
bought anything outside Of the
; city of their home. They own
a very,nics property. An ageh'

It's Alive

"Here you are, ladies and
gentlemen, the most wonderful
sight you ever saw and for the
small sum of one dime, ten
cents, hurry and buy your
tickets and avoid the rush" IL
you hear some such hallahoo in
front Of the Evans livery barn
don't be surprised as o. E.
Evans and Herman LaDue
traded for a six legged steer
yesterday and they propose to
start on the road with it. A
man Came through yesterday
with the aforesaid steer, which
he had been exhibiting, and
being broke he traded it to the
above mentioned parties for a
valuable consideration, the con
sideration not being known ex-
cept to the interested parties,
and now the owners of the
steer propose to make it earn
it's own way. There is no fake
to the steer as it has two per-
fectly formed legs and feet
coming out at the shoulder and
as the animal is on the shady
side of ten at least there is no
danger Of him losing them as
he grows older. It is just one
Of the freaks Of nature.

marriage license, but as they fail
ed to answer the questions that en-
title marriage license to be issued
to them the Judge refused the re-

no undoing what little Dan Cupid
does. In the realms of love his edicts
are supreme.-Ocala Banner. They

Always remember no one can de.
base you but yourself. Slander, sa-
tire, falsehood, injustice-these can
never rob you of your manhood. Men
may lie about you, they may denounce
you, they may make your failings
the target of their wit or cruelty
never be alarmed, never swerve an
inch from the line your Judgment and
conscience have marked out for you.
They cannot, by all their efforts, take
away your knowledge of yourself, the
purity of your motives, the integrity
of your character and the generosity
of your nature. While these are left,
you are in point of fact, unharmed.

MarriaaeabIe Age Limit.

According to Russian law no per-
son over so years of age can enter
the bonds of matrimony. All civiliz-
ed countries fix minimum age for
marriage, but nowadays apparently
only in Russia is maximum age
laid down. The law in ancient Rome
was strict on this point, no man over
60 or woman over so being allowed
to marry.-London Chronicle.

Bell Telephone Company Gives Lien
to Secure Sinking Fund Bonds
Tuesday morning the reporter met
R. A. Weeks, one of the deputy coun
ty clerks. Mr.. Weeks was strongly
scented with choroform and was
asked if he had been to the dentists
The answer was in the negative. See
ing that the index finger of both
hands were wrapped up the reporter
asked if Mr.. Weeks had been on a
cat hunt. The answer was no. Then
what allied his fingers? Mr.. Weeks
reluctantly explained that he had a
monster mortgage to record, and to
keep from striking the keys hard and
thus wearing out the typewriter.
causing expense to the county, he
had blistered his finger tips with
chloroform to make them tender.
The reporter accompanied him to
the court house to see the mortgage.
1t was contained in a phamplet con-
tanning rs good-sized printed pages.
1t was from the Southern Bell e Tel
ephone Co. to the Bankers Trust Co.
and John H. Parsons, trustee, and
was given to secure a loan of $780,
100000, a 30-year first mortgage to
secure sinking fund gold bonds, due
January l. 1941.
This mortgage must be recorded in
every county in every state traversed
by the company's lines or where they
own other property, and the cost of
recording will amount to a fortune in
itself.
Mr.. Weeks is to record the mort
gage and Miss Fannie Bessant i sto
read it off to him. After the last
whereas" has been copied, the re-
corders will probably take a we'll
earned vacation-Starke Telegraph.
