FRIEND WEEKLY TELEGRAPH, E. WHITCOMB, Editor and Pro., 
Friend, Nebraska, June 8, 1888, Part Three

REV. DAVIDSON went to his new appointment at Algonia, Iowa, last Friday. 
The Congregational church is without a pastor at present but will be supplied 
in due time.

A couple of cases of scarlet fever were reported at ALLEN McLEAN'S, but the 
children are getting on so well that there are some doubts about the cases 
being that disease.

The ladies of the Congregational church gave a strawberry and ice cream 
festival on Tuesday evening. They were well patronized, and every one 
present had a first-class time.

A traveling bum contortionist was performing upon the street Wednesday 
evening, and for a ten minutes performance he succeeded in getting about 
three dollars out of the crowd.

We call the attention of our readers and patrons to this issue as a sample 
of a live village newspaper, and our friends will aid in getting their town 
before the public by sending copies to their friends in the east.

A couple of parties while out riding and speeding their rigs Wednesday 
evening ran over a child of THOMAS MOORE'S. Fortunately the child 
was not injured, but parties out driving should remember that the public 
streets are no place in which to test the speed of a horse.

The TELEGRAPH will be furnished new subscribers from now until after 
the fall election at the extremely low price of 50 cents. Twenty-two weeks, 
five and one-half months for only 50 cents. Do not fail to send a copy to 
your friends as well as to arrange for a like copy for your own homes. 
Notwithstanding the political campaign, the TELEGRAPH will give all the 
news first and then attend to politics afterwards, and in the latter it will 
always speak in favor of American labor and the American farmer 
and their best interest.

FARMERS ATTENTION
