with whom they traded. The most
common way OF describing this re-
gion 100 years ago was as The Coun-
Gil Bluffs by which name the fur
traders meant the shores OF the Mis-

the Indians out of the way. The
making Of Nebraska would aid the
northern project, therefore the south
opposed it.
There was the slavery question. In
the year 1920 a fierce dispute had
risen between the north and the south
over whether Missouri should be adj
mitted as a slave state or a free state,
1t was al last agreed that Missouri
might come in as slave state, but
that the rest OF the country west and
north OF Missouri should be forever
free. This was called the Missouri
compromise Under it Nebraska
would have come in free, Now the
south feared making more free states
That was another reason why il OPP
posed the making Of Nebraska.

were 10 go 10 grove about two
miles from the school house
We started from the school house
al about 9 O'CLOCK and reached the
grove about 10 o'clock. We had taken
ropes with us so as 10 put up swings,
The boys put one big swing across
the creek. While the boys were doing
that some Of we girls were laying
out a ball diamond; while the teacher
and the rest OF the girls were
clearing off a place where we would
eat dinner after while. BY the time
we had finished our work it was
about II O'Clock. Then the children
that were 10 play ball chose sides.
While we were doing that the women
folks were getting dinner ready. By
the time we were through choosing
dinner was ready For dinner we had
salmon, and potato salad, sand
witches, pickles, pork and beans,
devilcd eggs, oranges, bananas, ice
cream, lemonade, cake and cookies.
II was about o'clock when we fin
ished dinner. Before we started play
ing ball we all went over to the swing
and had a swing. We soon started to
playing ball Just after we had started
playing we heard cry from one Of
the smaller children. We all ran TO
see what the trouble was. There in
the hands OF the smallest child was

tore my handkerchief into stripes |

when we heard another cry. This
time some OF the children had fallen
into the creek. They were taken to
