What
is the matter with Wymore
To
the inquiry, "What is the
matter with Wymore?", the
response must be "Oh she's

little city is putting on style
lately, but it is eminently
becoming, and Wymore is about
as lust a seven year old as
Nebraska or any other state
can show.

Mud Showers In Nebraska
Wymore,
Nebraska, April 26. -- The
tornado which devastated this
section on Tuesday was the most
picturesque affair ever witnessed
in this state.
Though
no loss of life resulted as
far as reports thus far indicate,
forests were rooted up by the
mile. Great holes were
dug in the newly plowed fields
and wire fences were ripped
up by the thousands of feet.
The
most extraordinary freak of
the twister occurred on the
farm of John Wells, ten miles
south. There the snout
of the big cloud switched about
in a 50 acre field, striking
no less than a dozen times.

Wymore
and Southern Gage
Special
Dispatch to the World Herald
Wymore,
Nebraska, November 22. -- A
visit to various parts of Gage
County during the last week
has demonstrated the fact that
our county has the largest crop
of winter wheat growing ever
planted in one year, and all
look very promising.
The
corn crop of Southern Nebraska
is being cribbed as rapidly
as possible. Half the
farmers are through gathering
and the hands that aided them
can now be had to assist those
who are not through. If
the rain ceases and weather
settles fair and pleasant most
of the corn will be gathered
by Thanksgiving day.

Wymore Art Exhibit a Splendid Success 
The Wymore schools art exhibit opened Friday and continued during Saturday. Many visitors, considering the downpour of rain, inspected the numerous exhibits, but in order that everyone will have a chance to see the work those in charge have decided to open from 2:30 to 4 p.m. today.
The exhibit is one of the best ever shown in Wymore, and Prof. Lee stated it was the best he had ever seen in his many years' experience of teaching.
The work shown covers 280 sheets of mounted cardboard 22x28, representing every pupil from every grade in the schools here. It was selected from the regular daily studies, and not made with a view of being displayed.
All in charge of the exhibition are very proud of the result of their efforts and deserve all of the praise which was liberally given by those who saw the work.
