Seed potatoes at McChesney's.

   E. L. Thornburg, of Albion, visited his brother G. F., Friday and Saturday.

   The band boys will give an ice cream social Saturday evening, May 3rd, the proceeds for the benefit of the grand stand to be erected on main street. Everybody invited to come out and have a good time.

  From all indications, summer has arrived without taking the precaution of annoucing her advent.
   This being so, every resident of the town should begin cleaning up his premises. Summer is the time to make the town beautiful. Those who are preparing to do painting should do it now, that the town may be made as attractive as possible for the summer months.
   But most of all, the general overhauling of back yards and alleys is imperative from a sanitary standpoint. The last few months have been exceeding dry, and the spring winds carry great clouds of dust all over the town.
   Refuse in the yards and alleys is one of the most prolific breeders of germs. With the present dry conditions of the country, these are caught up and carried by the wind, spreading the seeds of desease (sic) far and wide.
   Right now, the citizens should have the winter's accumulation of garbage, ashes and other refuse taken away, without the matter being urged by the authorities.
   A little precaution now may prevent a great deal of sickness later. Clean up your back yards, help make the town more attractive, and at the same time do away with the risk of having to pay a doctor's bill later in the season.

DIED - 2 a. m. April 20, 1902, Joseph W. Sprague, age 68 years 3 mo. 2 days, at the home of his son C. J. Sprague at Belgrade Nance County Nebraska, of dropsy. Mr. Sprague was born in Hartland township, Huron county, Ohio, Jan. 18, 1834 at which place he lived until April 29, 1884 from whence he moved to Nebraska. He was married to Martha Hawxhurst Jan. 1, 1858 with whom he lived until her death five years previous. He united with the M. E. church of Fitchville, Huron county, Ohio in 1858. After spending the winter with his daughter, Mrs. Dowman, in Cleveland, Ohio, he returned about eight weeks ago to the home of his son at which place he died. For some weeks he struggled with his illness but was confined to his bed which he kept for three weeks until the end. His suffering was intense in which time he was reconcilled to depart this earth and anxious to go, pleading with the Master for the hastening of his Home departure. His remains were placed in the Main cemetery of Belgrade by the side of those of his beloved wife, Monday morning at 10 o'clock.

   Lincoln, Neb., April 21 -- Section Director Loveland, editor of the Government Crop Belletin (sic), says.
"Nebraska winter wheat is in condition to stand more hot winds than that in any state in the west. The previous copious rains have left the plant in good order, while the lack of moisture in Kansas, Oklahoma, and texas has placed the grain in those ates in condition that hot winds will do great damage before Nebraska's is injured. Some slight damage will probably result from the winds of Sunday and today."

An ordinance to regulate the sale of malt, spiritous, vineous, mixed and fermented liquors within the corporate limits of the village of Belgrade, Nebraska.

   Passed the 25 day of April 1902. Approved the 25 day of April 1902.

(NOTE: It appears that this notice was used to determine format for another liquor license in 1904. Apparently the editor marked out names and dates, writing in others. As best made out - 1902 application was by Delmer W. Wineburg and 1904 application by Fred J. Pepper. Please make your own determination of details!)

   John H. Fulton, M. A., a graduate of Edinburgh university, and who was at one time professor of oriental languages in the Royal university at Athens, and in the Imperial university at Vienna, says: "Satan has his abode in Saturn, and it is there that he will start upon the forces of God in the year 1950.
