The county commissioners meet on tomorrow. The City Council will meet on next Thursday evening. The foreman of the STATE HERALD, Mr. Charles Wolsey, is confined to his room this week by sickness. Look out for the next illustrated edition of the STATE HERALD about the middle of next month. Mrs. William C. Robinson has been quite sick for some days past, with pneumonia. The STATE HERALD will hereafter have a regular weekly contributor to its columns from Washington City. The farmers of Phillips County meet at Holyoke on tomorrow afternoon. Mr. W.R. Davis is now editor of the Holyoke HERALD, and gets out a good paper. - Logan County Advocate. Mr. E.H. Heller left for York, Nebraska on last Monday night, taking with him a number of copies of the STATE HERALD for distribution. W.R. Davis, of the Holyoke HERALD is making for that paper a name which the owner may justly feel proud of. - Sedgwick County Sentinel. A first class dentist will find Holyoke the best city in the west to locate in. Write to the STATE HERALD for further information.

Write to the STATE HERALD for further information. Thousands of fruit trees will be set this spring throughout the length and breadth of Phillips County The contest over the County clerk’s office was dismissed, on Wednesday of this week, at the instance of the plaintiff. Our old time friend, Frank Lewis of Venango, called at the HERALD office last evening, just to say howdy and left on the nine o’clock freight for Denver. Lee Witherbee, Lou Witherbee, George Payne and Swan Clint Nelson returned to Holyoke on last evening, having been permitted to give bond awaiting the decision of the Supreme Court of the state. TAKE NOTICE: Having to be absent from Holyoke for a short time, I would request all parties having business with me to make the same known at the Holyoke State Bank. -- Whitney Irwin. Remember the dance at Grand Army hall on tomorrow evening, for the benefit of Holyoke post, and let our citizens turn out in goodly numbers and show their appreciation of "the boys who wore the blue." S.W. Beggs and Whitney Irwin, leave tomorrow for Iowa and Illinois, in the interest of immigration. These gentlemen take with them some six thousand copies of the illustrated STATE HERALD for free distribution. The HERALD acknowledges a pleasant visit from Sheriff Dixon Buchanan of Logan County. Mr. Buchanan is one of the most popular officials in Colorado, as well as one of the leading men of the eastern half of the state. Throw sticks, stones, bits of sod, anything to damage character and the ultimate result will be damage to the man who indulges the devilish propensity - if, indeed, he have character enough to receive damage. Tonight the members of Hose Company No. 1 give a ball at the B. & M. eating house which bids fair to be attended by a host of our citizens. The membership of this company composes in large part, our very best citizens and the object they have in view is one that our people will cheerfully lend a helping hand. The what-you-call-him of the Tribune tells his readers that his foreman has taken a job on the water service. Let us reverse things and let the "so-called" editor handle the pick and the foreman manage the paper. No danger in trying the experiment - it may be better for the Tribune, and it certainly cannot worst that delectable (?) sheet. It may be well for us to chronicle the fact, here and now, that the STATE HERALD has a loftier mission to perform than giving notoriety to little eight by ten sheets that subsist on "bile beans" and "soothing syrup." The HERALD is here to do its part in building up our beautiful city and county, and not to recognize the slurs of "so called" journals whose every issue bears upon their pages some base falsehood calculated to damage the good name of our citizens. County Commissioner John C. Elder goes to Pennsylvania about the middle of next month, in the interest of immigration to Phillips County. Mr. Elder is an old resident of Pennsylvania and, if we may judge from the letters of inquiry he is receiving from that State, he is the right man to make the trip. He tells us that he expects to have a number of families accompany him back to Phillips County who will make their homes in our midst. Let the good work go on. The Holyoke Herald last week was a regular boomer. The entire issue was devoted to setting forth the advantages of Holyoke and Phillips County, with cuts of the principal buildings of the town. - Perkins Co. Sentinel. W.R. Davis, late of Chase County, but at present editor and publisher of the State Herald, Holyoke, Colorado, is in the city. His paper has entered upon the fourth year of its existence and for enterprise and thrift speaks for itself and of the town and country it represents. Mr. Davis is an old time Nebraska journalist and is well and favorably known throughout the state. - Omaha Bee. In the next illustrated edition of the STATE HERALD will appear the likenesses of the first couple who settled in Phillips County. It is also our intention, in that issue, to give the names of a number of the pioneer farmers of this county, together with a brief sketch of their lives. If the citizens of Holyoke can boast of any one thing more than another, it is that we have as agent of the B. & M. railroad located here, a gentleman in the person of Mr. A.B. West - courteous and accommodating to the rich and poor alike. In the bustle of the daily routine of business, he never forgets to be a gentleman and we so often meet with men occupying a place of much less importance who to use a common phrase, "feel their oats" that we chronicle and boast of Holyoke’s good luck. Move your other agents, officials of the B. & M., but leave with us your Mr. A.B. West, a faithful servant of yours and a well wisher and worker, for the best interests of our city.

McBeth, Register EDITORIAL The editor and proprietor of the STATE HERALD desires to return his thanks to the businessmen and citizens generally of Holyoke for the very liberal manner in which they have patronized the HERALD since it came under his control. The duties of a journalist are arduous and, at times vexatious, but where one sees his labors are appreciated by the people among whom his lot is cast, the roughness of the profession is removed and sun shine lights his pathway to duty. and while I make use of the columns of the STATE HERALD to thus publicly thank its patrons for their liberal patronage bestowed, let me go a little further and say, now and for all time to come, while I stand at the helm of the HERALD, that no ring or clique or individual shall dictate to its editor the course it is to pursue. The HERALD shall, in politics, support the nominees of the Republican party and in my labors for the building up of Holyoke and Phillips County, it shall be my aim and ambition to so conduct the columns of this paper as to secure "the greatest good to the greatest number." Again, kind friends, I thank you. -- W.R. DAVIS CORRESPONDENCE JOTTINGS FROM 6-44 The HERALD’s boom issue was a grand success. Success to it as it is bourne on its mission eastward. Wheat sowing has began in this burg. What would eastern farmers think of such doings in February? According to late Pennsylvania dispatches the wild west will have to take a back seat in the blizzard line. We were in error in our last weeks statement that two school districts exist in township six. Half of this school territory which is three miles in extent, should be credited to township seven, whose residents are up to the average in intelligence and moral worth. A pleasant dinner party was given last Wednesday at the home of J.H. Zoll on sec. 1, and the menu provided put to flight all lingering doubts on the part of the guests as to the productiveness of Colorado soil. Rev. Hoffman was the guest of Ira Worley over Sabbath, missing his route on the way thither, his bicycle was his companion while he walked over a mile on a prairie by-road. A basket social will be held at Fairview school house on the evening of Friday, 21st, at the close of the literary exercise. Come and share your best girls lunch, young man or see some other fellow do so. -- L. M. R. MEADOW LAWN As it has been some time since I have seen any items from this vicinity, I will send a few. Most of the farmers are busy sowing small grain and plowing for corn. The La-Gripp is gradually subsiding and we have no regrets at its departure. There was a sale at James Jefferson’s last Monday Frank Wilson of Holyoke was seen in our vicinity last Friday. Robert Cummings and wife were in Champion the fore part of last week. Tommy Cunningham has purchased him a new buggy and he says all he needs is a good looking girl. Robert Elder and wife have returned home from Denver, where they have been the past three months. -- NEUTRAL SIX FORTY-FOUR A slight snow this morning. M.N. Worley has gone to Nebraska for corn. Thomas Lydiat has taken a homestead in the hills. S.S. Worley was in Sterling last week. The young folks reported a pleasant social party at the home of F.S. Borland and sister. I see several loads of wheat going to the Champion mills. I wish someone would see the necessity of a Flouring mill at Holyoke. Mr. John Whitney of York State who has been visiting his brother has returned to home, he likes Colorado very much. -- PRUDENCE FRENCHMAN VALLEY Farmers are still busy putting wheat ground in good condition. The La-Gripp has left our neighborhood. We are glad to see that W. Moore prefers his homestead to clerking in a store. Neighbor Axelson got back with his carload of corn and barley last week. Paoli gets one of our neighbors this week, Mr. Alvin Larson. Miss Kate Hamilton has returned to Denver. Water is rising in the Frenchman. Our Superintendent Mr. Timberlake was visiting our school last week, he is working earnestly to advance our school interests. Stock of all kinds look well, the buffalo grass being so well cured the stock have done well on it all winter. -- HOMESTEADER BEACHVILLE ITEMS We’re busy don’t talk to us. School closed in District 44 for a time indefinitely. John Cronquest departed from these diggings last Friday. We miss you John. Charles Peter stayed with Frank Burkhalter last Saturday night. Oscar Troutman returned from York County, Nebraska last Wednesday evening. Oscar is going to - well I guess farm this summer. George Peterson and family left for Republican City, Nebraska, to make it his future home. The HERALD was a dandy last week, and we think it is the finest country paper in the west, subscribe and get the news weekly from Beachville. -- OLD MISERY FAIRFIELD CLIPPINGS Farmers are busy. Rev. J.W. Auten is at Fleming this week. Miss Emma Stone was the guest of Miss Maud Auten a couple of days the past week. H.C. Boggs and son Jimmie were up in the Platte River country last Monday. Homer Auten of Wakeman was visiting at home a few days of last week. L. Tinkel was in this vicinity last Monday. Ed Anderson was in Holyoke the latter part of last week. August Johnson came in from Denver last Monday, he has a claim in this vicinity and has been improving the same the past week. Mr. Sigfried Anderson and sisters Ida and Emma were pleasant callers at J.W. Autens last Wednesday evening. We understand that Mr. Swanson’s well will have to be sunk deeper on account of the sand. A few evenings ago we notice some cattle eating and destroying feed belonging to other parties. We think this looks bad on the parties owning the stock as feed will be exceedingly scarce in this vicinity the coming spring. -- MIGHTY PETE Ad - GOOD NEWS! General Stock of Hardware At Bed Rock Prices. Having purchased the Stock of Hardware of Mr. P. Raymond at greatly reduced prices, we have concluded to give our friends and customers generally, the benefit of the reduction. Call and see us and be convinced that we SELL at BED ROCK PRICES.
