   Joe Palmer was at the county seat Saturday..

  -- May 31st the last chance for those bargains at McChesney's.

   S. H. Pearson, an old time friend of B. J. Ainlays, who is traveling salesman for Adams & Kell Co. of Omaha, visited from Saturday until Monday morning at Mr. Ainlay's.

   Mrs. Victoria J. Smith, died at her home in Fullerton, May 16, 1902. The interment was made in the Main cemetery near Belgrade. The deceased was a mother of Mrs. Frank Hodges of this place.

   Mr. Chas. Callaham, editor of the Sidney Telegraph, has sold his plant to Fred A. Gapen. Mr. Callaham will go into the banking business with a first national bank. This is the first case on record where an editor ever made money enough to start a bank.

  B. F. Smith has just completed one of the neatest systems of water works on his residence property that we have seen for some time. He has all the conveniences in the way of water system that one would wish for lawn and house purposes. We would like to see more of our citizens adopt a plan of waterworks as it would add much to the convenience of their homes and keeping of their lawns with but little cost. W. C. Horton did the work.

   Earl Nickerson and Miss Doil of St. Edwards, spent Sunday with friends in Belgrade. Earl like all other nice young men, has his troubles. In winter he has to battle with snow drifts and in summer it's rain and mud, but he shouldn't be discouraged if his guardian angle (sic) is with him. The school children will not complain because their teacher was late getting to her school Monday morning. The reward is worth the punishment if he did have to apologize to the frowning parents and take a dip in the water tank.

   Died: -- Monday, May 19, 1902, Mrs. A. J. Snelson, at her home 2 miles north-west of Belgrade. Mrs. Snelson had been a sufferer for some time with an absess of the stomach, but was not confined to her room until Monday and her sudden taking away was a shock to her family and many friends. She was 26 years old. As the end drew near, Mrs. Snelson called her husband to her and said: "As it is Gods own will, I am ready to go." How sad it is to be in a death room and hear a youg (sic) wife and mother bid good bye, and as their life goes out, you are praying that their spirit may go to rest with Jesus. The funeral was held from the M. E. church Belgrade, Tuesday morning, conducted by Rev. F. Dubois, interment made in the Main cemetery.

   The party which was to have been given at Mr. Reeves the 15th of May, was postponed on account of rain.

   We have church and Sunday school at the Red Wing school house every Sunday. Sunday school at 2:30 and church at 3:30.

   Red Wing school will give an entertainment and social Thursday evening May 29th. All are cordially invited.

   The young people of this community meet at Mr. Wards, Friday to practice for the entertainment.

   I wish to express my sincere thanks to the good people who rendered their kind assistance during the sickness and death of my wife. May God bless you all.

   L. A. Palmer, who recently disposed of his paper, the Unadilla Union, to join a colony seeking a fortune in Idaho, returned recently, and was not bashful in dubbing the company promoting the plan apt in the art of ... Mr. Palmer says his ... was a stony road to travel.

   A. Wisconsin ... , James Minor, of Ramsey advertised for a wife. He got one, Miss Carrie Hansen, of Chicago. They met on Sunday, were married on Monday, Carrie found the farm lonesome on Tuesday and fled. James applied for a divorce on Wednesday. This is almost equal to Mother Goose's epitome of life of Solomon Grundy.

   This is summer; at least the birds have come and the oysters have gone. But we are reminded, whenever the sun withdraws his countenance from us for a few days that everything depends on him after all in this part of the world. It may be summer according to the almanac, the birds, Rev. irl Hicks and all the other authorities, and yet a cloudy day will send us all shivering to cover. We need a good deal of sun here; it is not whoolesome without him. The sun and the wind have had sweep over the western prairies for a long time and when we exclude them or they withdraw themselves by chance, we spoil. A house ought to be sunny, in the west. There can be too many trees immediately around a house. Heavy, large trees, overhanging the roof and shutting out both sun and air, make a stagnation, a closenss that renders even hot weather harder to beat than the full sweep of the sun. And the chilly days that sometimes ...
