Tuesday noon the county commits
Isioners and male county officials were
entertained at feed prepared by the
lady county officials. From reports
received by the editors it was sure
some feed. We understand that the
gentlemen of the party are going to
entertain the ladies At an early date
in like manner.
Changes in real estate still go on.
Mrs. Anna Lorensen has sold her 80
acre farm three and q half miles
northwest Of Julesburg to Mrs. C. H.
Byrus of Potter, Neb. The purchaser
gets immediate possession. The C. H.
Rowland 13O-acre farm five miles west
of town has been purchased by Clara
West, of Denver. The Fred Chase
l66-acre place four miles east Of town
was sold to Ethel Hargreaves, a resi-
dent of Deuel. county. The Sterling
Smith farm was sold Monday to Mrs.
Grace Rood. This farm is situated six
miles west of town.
For boys that break their arms or
break their legs, the sens of T. r
Williams certainly take the cake.
! Some time ago the Grit-Advocate pub
, lshed the fact that one of Mr.. Wilt
! |am's boys had his leg broken three
; times in two years and another of his
boys had had his arm broken two
times in two years. Last week one
of his sons again had the misfortune
to break an arm. OF course, it is no
jesting matter but it does seem rather
. striking that in the same family two
!, boys could each have an arm or leg
broken three different times, in two
| tshort years.
Sheriff Thunderstorm will leave to-
! morrow to take three fellows to the
penitentiary, that is he will take them
There if the judge sentences them to
the pen. The three are now in the
. [county Jail at this place, two of them
Ebeing the Mexicans who were arrested
mot long ago for shop lifting in the
lstores here and the other one being
the man by the name Of Coleman who
recently bought some automobile sup
plies for his own use and had them
charged to George McCone. The three
prisoners have all pleaded guilty and
will be taken tomorrow by the sheriff
to Sterling, where, under the law in
Colorado, the judge can sentence them.
The prisoners thought they would pre-
fer this. rather than to wait in the
county jail until the October term Of
court.
G. A Arnold made business trip to
Omaha last week and returned by way
Of Holdrege, his old home, getting
there just in time to see the tail end
bf the Old Settlers reunion that was
being staged there by the Holdrege
Commercial club. Mr.. Arnold home
steaded near Holdrege just forty-one
years ago Monday and has seen both
good and bad business. A part Of the
program consisted Of floats show
ling how our forefathers used to live
and work. Sod houses were shown and
also log houses and the old-fashioned
wagon pulled by team Of horses or
by one horse and one mule, with rope
tups and wire tugs. Then came the
auto and the tractor and truck and
modern ways of doing things. Think
Of it. Cities now putting on cele-
brations to show the curiosity of a
plow being pulled by horses or a load
of grain being hauled in wagons with
. team. Verify, the times do change
