We were recently shown a crayon likeness of a brother of Miss Fannie Mackin, executed by Mrs. Ed. Short of this city. The likeness was taken
from one of Miss Mackin’s and is what is known as
an “ideal” work, that is, the features of the brother were made from a
sister’s likeness. Miss Fannie says the portrait is almost true to life. |

This edition of the
newspaper contains a significant review of all the local organizations in the
Clifton/Vining area. For
a number of years a custom has prevailed among newspapers to give, at least
once a year, a review of the business of their respective towns and
surrounding country…. The
old soldiers have a G.A.R. POST, with nearly every old veteran in the country
enrolled. They propose to keep up the music of the “Union Forever,” as long
as they live, and in order that the fires of patriotism may be perpetuated, a
post of the SONS OF VETERANS has lately been organized, which will in short
time have a large membership…. Vining,
like Clifton, is only about four years of age, having been laid out on the
advent of the Junction City and Fort Kearney branch of the K. P. railroad,
and is located only three-fourths of a mile west of Clifton, and is, from a
commercial standpoint, a lively business center…. |
