Editor Nebraska Advertiser.
By request I send you the following items from this portion of the county:
The most important and cheerful item I call to mind is good health.
Wheat, rye and barley well harvested and stacked; some threshing done. Crops fair, and the seed healthy and well filled. Oats poor on account of rust and chinch bugs; some fields not cut at all. Corn and potatoes will be a full crop. Very little old corn in the country; no broom corn, flax, or buckwheat to amount to anything.
Fruit scarce.
- We have a reasonable increase in hogs and cattle in this precinct. Considerable new breaking done and the people hopeful.
We have a good Sunday school. Mr. Frank Wright lectures to the Bible class, illustrating from maps of Palestine and the Holy Land. Religious services every Sabbath. We have also a singing class who exercise in music every Sabbath evening, with David Frazier in charge. There is some talent of merit, and the little girls sing beautifully.
- A good spirit of sociability and kindness is manifested by the young folks. Some room for improvement yet, however, but they are on the right track.
- I emigrated in April with my family from Mount Pleasant, Iowa, and find a pleasant, friendly, good state of feeling among the people.
The Republicans completed the organization of a Hayes and Wheeler club Saturday evening the 12th inst. I will give you the constitution:
We, the undersigned, hereby organize ourselves into a society known as the Johnson Hayes and Wheeler Club; our object being to advance the cause and interest of the Republican party in the principles of equal rights and exact justice of and to all men.
We pledge ourselves to support with our ballots the nominees of the Cincinnati Republican Convention, R. B. Hayes and W. A. Wheeler, for the offices of President and Vice President of the United States. As, in our opinion, the only security for reform in every department of our government, we shall labor for a higher system of reform in our State, county and school interests.
The order of the meeting was then taken up by the chair calling upon several individuals to speak, which was responded to spirited by each person called upon. Mr. John Christy made some pleasant, strong, decisive remarks, which were received with applause from the audience. Mr. Stull, of Brownville, being present was called upon and responded with great force. His speech was a success and received with great applause from the audience.
