            Letter from Ponca
            Ponca, Neb., May 21, 1879
  Editor Journal:
   This little city is growing rapidly, and bid fair
to be the Missouri River city for these parts. Ponca
has a population of perhaps 800 souls, at least two
thirds of whom have located here since the completion
of the Covington, Columbus & Black Hills Railway to
this point, over two years ago. Here is the present
western terminal of this line.
   Mercantile enterprizes, religious and educational
institutions, and the various secret orders have their
usual representation here. Many very prominent gentle-
men live here, and to say that the city is the better
because of their presence is to reiterate an established
fact. Mr. Nathan S. Potter, of this city, has been
singularly fortunate in receiving the appointment as
Indian Agent at Ft. Peck, Montana, for all of which
much credit is due Nebraska's delegation in Congress.
All agree in pronouncing Mr. P.'s appointment a most
fitting tribute to a true, consistant gentleman, and
a friend to Nebraska's better interests.
   Judge Barnes, assisted by Judge Savage, of Omaha, 
held an eminently successful term of court here last w
week, but to the credit of Dixon County's citizens
and the able Judges, the term was a brief one. Judge
Barnes has just returned from Cedar County, where too,
he has completed a very excellent season at court.
Every Judge B. is giving the completest satisfaction,
and all unite in praise of him.
