NEWSPAPERS: THE STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado: 18 Jul 1890, Vol. III - No. 49 http://files.usgwarchives.net/co/phillips/newspapers/sthld1890/90jul18.txt Donated by: Vicki Conklin 17 Jan 2005 ====================================================================== STATE HERALD, Holyoke, Phillips, Colorado J.H. PAINTER Editor & Publisher 18 Jul 1890, Friday, Vol. III - No. 49 Page One LOCAL LORE It is our purpose to note the arrival and departure of all guests to our city, and request those who have visitors to inform us of the fact. Local news items are always thankfully received. Mrs. H.J. Porter and Mrs. W.C. Powers are visiting at York, Nebraska. Miss Carrie Dakan is spending a few weeks with friends at Holdrege, Nebraska. P.J. Dempster went to Republican City, Nebraska, this week to try a law suit. A. A. Spahr took the train Wednesday evening for Des Moines, Iowa, on a business trip. W.C. Powers spent a few days at Grant, Nebraska, this week and at his photograph gallery has samples of some fine work done by him while there. C.C. Washburn was elected, on Tuesday evening as Representative to the Grand Lodge of Odd Fellows, which convenes at Denver in October. - Watermelon Mr. J.F. Forbes, of McCook, Nebraska, arrived in Holyoke Tuesday morning and takes the position of Train Dispatcher, left vacant by Mr. Kenyon's removal to McCook. *+*+*+*+*+*+* We are sorry to say that our worthy City Mayor, J.F. Kenyon, has decided to leave Holyoke. He has accepted the position of Train Master, at McCook, Nebraska, and took charge of the office last Monday. We are glad to hear of Mr. Kenyon's promotion in his line of business, but dislike to lose as good a citizen from our town as he had proven himself to be. MARRIED - Crowner & Strickland: At the residence of the bride's mother, July 16th, by Rev. H.B. Cook, J.W. Crowner, of Holyoke, and Miss Myrtle Strickland, of Emerson, Colorado. May peace, plenty, happiness, and long life be the lot of this young couple. Mr. Crowner is one of the B. & M. boys and they will make their home in Holyoke. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Our worthy coroner, L.P. Lewis and wife returned this week from their pleasure trip to the western coast. He reports a very pleasant trip and his son L.P. Lewis Jr., of Holdrege, was greatly improved in health by the trip. They were in a railroad wreck that shook them up considerably but injured no one. While delighted with the scenery and pleasant trip, yet Mr. Lewis returns to Holyoke thinking even more highly of eastern Colorado than when he left. *+*+*+*+*+*+* A jolly crew, and a captain too, assembled in Judge Lee's office yesterday afternoon. Conductor John C. Coleman, of the Burlington & Missouri, took to himself a life long mate in the person of Miss Mabel Roberts, both of the fort of Phillips County, Colorado. The crew of the conductor's train, which runs into Cheyenne were present to affix their official signatures to the happy ceremony. - Cheyenne Sun. Another of the B. & M. boys has gone and tied himself up for life. May his matrimonial train, on this long life run on which he has started, consist of palace cars that shall run smoothly, without jolt, jar, or wreck and reach their destination in safety. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* We are from the Denver Republican, that our postmaster, E.E. Brannon, represented Phillips County in the meeting of the Republican State Central Committee, at Denver, last week. We were not aware that a committeeman had been appointed for this county, as that fact had never been made public, or at least, if so, we failed to notice it. We have no doubt, however, but that Mr. Brannon well represented the interests of our county. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The News says the HERALD pours cold water upon the proposition to irrigate. We do nothing of the kind. The HERALD was the first paper in the county to agitate this question and we still stand ready to do all we can to aid any undertaking that has a reasonable prospect for bringing about the desired result, providing the interests of the farmers are as well represented in the undertaking as the other business interests of the county. The farmers if anything, are more interested in the matter of irrigation than any other parties, and they should be well represented in any move that may be made in that direction. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Williams, of the News, evidently had an attack of the night-mare while writing his article on the HERALD this week. His mind was so ill at ease, that he imagined he saw "aiders and abettors," "masters," and "annexes," over which, continually hovered, what he calls "sombro shadows." Poor man, it must have been a severe attack sure, but we trust his nerves will recover from the shock soon, so that he will be able to give us his second lesson in free trade. We would answer his article but, unfortunately our education in interpreting night-mare dreams has been sadly neglected, and, of course, we are at a loss to know his meaning, if he had any. Then we always make it a rule, never to take advantage of a mans affliction or infirmity and this article evidently resulted from such a cause. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* We stated in our last issue, that we were satisfied the County Commissioners would not favor an appropriation for the purpose of aiding in advertising the state, and, at their meeting last Friday, they took action upon the matter and refused to make such an appropriation. As we have said before, there is no doubt but the plan proposed for advertising the state is a good one, but we feel that the Commissioners did right in refusing to burden the county with any more tax than is absolutely necessary at this time. The county is not in such a condition that the farmers can afford to pay out money for advertising, when they need every cent they can raise for other purposes. We can appreciate the zeal of some of our citizens in this matter, but to carry out their zeal in this case would require something that this new country is not burdened with, money. Our zeal in such matters must be governed, to a large extent, by the size of our pocket books. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* We are sorry to see the building and Loan Association of this place is not performing its object as designed. Two many withdrawls of stock lessens the capital. It looks as though it must sucome soon. - News We wonder who read the proof of the above. Bro. Williams is wrong in finding fault with the Building and Loan Association. The members withdrawing from the Association are doing so on account of the closeness of money matters and their need to use their money in other ways, and not on account of the management or workings of the Association. His fears that it must succumb soon, are groundless, as in spite of hard times, there will be enough stock-holders stay with the Association to make it a success. TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The annual Teachers Association of Phillips County will be held at Holyoke August 4th to 15th, under the management of County Sup't., C.B. Timberlake. An able corps of instructors have been secured and no pains will be spared to make the Association a success. It is the desire of the Superintendent that all teachers and all others, interested in educational matters, attend the Association. Those desiring to make arrangements for board and lodging should write Mr. Timberlake. In addition to the course of study to be pursued there will be two lectures. Hon. Fred Dick, State Superintendent of Schools, will be here and deliver a lecture August 5th. Thomas J. Gray, principal of the State Normal will lecture on August 7th. The program will be printed next week. Attend the Association and you will profit by doing so. BEACHVILLE Farmers are busy harvesting. Jim Blackstone of north of town is working for F. Sprague. A.B. West, of Holyoke, took in the sights of Beachville one day last week. Mike Coatney, of Badger Corner, was in this vicinity last Wednesday. Albert Young, of Holyoke was assisting Oscar Troutman in getting their harvester in repair and shape for the coming harvest. Owing to some of their grain being rather short to bind, they set their brains to work and in a very short time made a dump apparatus to take the place of their binder apparatus. They have applied for a patent and if they succeed, the writer is to get $50,000 for this write-up. Eureka Alliance will meet once every two weeks instead of once a week. The next meeting will be held at the Trego school house on Wednesday evening July 23, 1890. We understand that district three has hired Miss Williams, of Arapahoe, Nebraska, to teach their fall term of school. James Bryant, of Bryant, Colorado, was in this vicinity last Tuesday evening. Mr. Butler tells us that a red cow of his strayed away about two weeks ago. Any information leading to her recovery will be gladly received by the old gentleman. Oscar Troutman has put down a large cistern, and put up other substantial improvements about his new house. We feel the faint pulsations of the coming political campaign to take place this fall. Capt. Mason was in Julesburg last Sunday on business. Mr. and Mrs. Oscar Troutman and Mary Peter were the guests of Mike Mowry and family last Sunday. - OLD MISERY Ad - TO THE FARMERS, We have been disappointed, as well as most of our farmers, on the outcome of this year's harvest. We had anticipated an abundant harvest and had figured accordingly; we bought largely in the eastern markets and have our store crowded with fresh new goods. We now see our mistake as our farmers will not reap as they expected, and in view of the fact that there is no money in the country to buy these goods, we have decided to take young cattle same as cash in payments for goods for a limited time, at the GOLDEN EAGLE CASH STORE. We are truly yours, B.A. HOSKINS, Mg'r. Page Four Ad - CREAMERY IN HOLYOKE! $300.00 Bonus Given to Start The Enterprise.
