II. DILLH.VBACK, County Agent. 8ATURDAY NIGHT CROWD. The Globe took a hand In advertising the movies last week with result that a big, crowd came to see the five reel attraction. It was cool enough so that people- who desired could drive to town in buggies.

It was not an exclusive automobile night. The only objectionable feature of the show was that it took so long to run off the films. Away past midnight the town was full of people. Stores were going full blast. The pictures probably should have been started earlier in the evening.

Care should be taken to avoid the reputation of being an "open wide" town on Saturday nights. 0 MILL CREEK ITEMS. The Harry Taylor family and Mr, and Mrs. Henry Dutton took Sunday dinner at Wm. Buttericks at 1 1owa Point.

Ben Brown, aviator, circled over White Cloud Saturday afternoon, as everyone stood on the outside and gazed at him. He looked like a huge bird. He spent the day at Margraves Ranch, carrying passengers up for the novelty. More than twenty people went up for this airy visit that afternoon from the ranch. more years, proof-reader of the patent office technical copy, we discovered that none of the allurements of life In a big city can efface- the pleasant memories he holds for old White Cloud.

He likes to think of her when at his desk at home, as tucked among the hills away back there in Kansas, on the banks of the ever-flowing, ever-muddy Missouri. He admits that the muddy old Potomac has nothing on the Missouri, when it comes to mud. He often wonders while in these reveries, if they ever think of him, if they really believe that he barkens back to the old days, in spite of the whirl of modern, high pressure liv ing. A splendidly preserved man of 75 years. His hair like the driven snow.

A bronze Q. A. R. button in the lapel of his coat, he would attract attention anywhere. But he Is a quiet man lie is free from 'the things that sometimes characterize men.

He has been away from Washington about Bix weeks. Ills first stop was Colum bia, remaining there two weeks; he went' to Chicago, from there he went to Plattsvllle, his old home town and birthplace. There he remained but one day, but in' that time he found three of his old school-mates and his entire day was taken up with them, from there his journey took him to Duluth and Proctor, there he remained twelve days. Duluth is the greatest lake shipping port for iron ore. While at Proctor, he ited with a daughter; from there he went to St Paul, remaining one night and then on to Omaha, where he stayed two days then, he came to White Cloud, coming in on Saturday, he remained until Wednesday.

He left Wednesday for St. Joseph, St. Louis and thence on to Washington. Mr. Grumley says that the latest statement by the public printer shows that there were 4,700 people employ ed at the government printing plant He has been there regularly since 1874 He enlisted from White Cloud, July 7, 1863, in the cavalry branch of the service.

He says that living condi tions in the crowded centers of the East have assumed serious propor tions. A fact especially where society is highly organized. When at home in Washington lie lives with a mar ried daughter. Mr. Grumley has been twice married and both wives have died.

He spoke of feeling like a man without a country, sometimes, as he traveled about seeing so many unfamiliar faces. He said another interesting thing, too. Mr. Grumley says that his and mother lived In the little house now used for a shoe shop by L. Harness.

That the Congregational church cf White Cloud was born in that humble home, long years ago. As the old soldier, printer and veteran proof-reader rose to go we clasped hands. He was from the East, it seemed like meeting an old friend al though it was our first meeting. We trust that' many years yet remain for comrade Grumley who has wrought so faithfully and well for three-fourths of a century. NUZUM'S FERRY BOAT ITEMS.
