Dear Editor :- There has been so much said about hard times in settling Nebraska that I would like to say a few words to show that life in those days had its bright side. It seems to me the years from '57 to '62 were the happiest ones of my life. All were neighbors then and were able and will- ing to work. the earth yielded plenty and family ties were unbroken.

From a January issue of the Lin- coln State Journal we clip the follow- ing story of the late Governor Butler: Driving from Pawnee City to Omaha to attend the legislature of 1866 and to be sworn in as governor with two members of the legislature from his county, the governer met a cattle deal Ex- jer on the prairie, who owed him a tri- fle of $8,000, and stopped his team to
The governor remarked that he had party so that if one was robbed there would still be enough to get home on, and he handed a bill to each of his fellow travelers and thrust the bal- ance into his vest pocket.
The morning after his arrival at the old Herndon house at breakfast, the governor suddenly exclaimed, "There, I left that vest with the money in hanging on a chair. Wonder if the chamber maid will find it? But every body was honest those days and the governor lost nothing.

It will be a matter of general inter- est to the people of the state that the next annual meeting of the State His- torical Society, occuring next Janu- ary will be devoted to reminiscences of the first territorial legislature of Nebraska. It is very desirable not only to have all surviving members present at that meeting but to collect in the mean time all possible data with reference to all the members and the acts of that body. It will be a great help if those who can. will send to the society photos and pictures of the members and any papers, letters, manuscripts or books relating to them. Some members are living in other states and it may possibly take sometime to find them. Information relating to such will be thankfully re- ceived. The following is a list of the members and officers as they were then apportioned:

THE HALF BREED TRACT.
The boundaries of this land were as follows: Beginning at the mouth of the great Nemaha and extending west along that stream to the mouth of the Muddy, thence west about 10 miles, and from the mouth of the Little Ne- maha in Nemaha county west 10 miles and from the two points this made viz: 10 miles. West of the mouth of the Muddy and Little Nemaha rivers a line was drawn connecting these two points, running northwest and south- east about 10 miles west of the Mis- souri river. The people for whom provision was thus made were a mix- ture of French and Indian blood and their names were given to several lit- tle towns along the Missouri river within this tract.
This land was purchased from the United States in 1861 by the following thirteen persons:
A. Barada, Goulet, Mike Manett. Douville, Frank Carrion, John De- roin. Joe Deroin. Barnaba, Soudeaur. Steve Story. Charles Rulo, Piquot Jule and Robideaux.
Through the kindness of S. B. Robst of Humboldt, we have been en- abled to give our readers several facts concerning the early history of Pawnee county that were gleaned from Edwards centennial history of that county.
The first sermon preached in Paw- nee county was by Rev. David Hart. of the Methodist Episcopal church, at the reoidence of Henry Shellhorn.

Publisher's Announcements.
A S announced elsewhere, beginning with this number THE PIONEER RECORD will hereafter be used by the State His- torical Society to publish its proceedings and many of the papers that come into its possession that they are unable to publish in the bound volumes. By the use of the RECORD the society hopes to awaken more interest in historical matters through the state. By the use of the matter furnished by the Historical society the publishers hope to make THE PIONEER RECORD of interest to all parts of the state alike. Heretofore it has of necessity been more or less local in its contents.
NOTICE :- Each member of the Territorial Pioneer Association who is fully registered by or before August 15, 1896 (not later), will be sent a ticket of admission to the Nebraska State Fair, and its amphitheater and quarter stretch on Tuesday, September 1, 1896. At ] o'clock that day there will be a reunion of the pi- oneers on the State Fair grounds,
We wish to call especial attention to the communication of Librarian Barrett, that appears in another column. Hereafter all persons interested in either the State Historical Society or the Territorial Pioneer Association may be sure of getting well authorized news concerning their organizations in the RECORD.
VOLUME THREE :- With this number Vol. 3 of THE PIONEER RECORD closes. It was started to advertise a local pioneer pic- nic and stir up an interest in pioneer matters in Richardson county. It has succeeded so well that Richardson county now has three old settlers and pioneer societies and these kind of as- sociations are becoming popular all over the slate. It has con- stantly grown in favor with the pioneers since the first number was printed and we close Vol. 3 with the endorsement of the Ter- ritorial Pioneers and the State Historical Society.
SUBSCRIBE NOW :- With the August number THE PIONEER RECORD begins Vol. 4 and with the improvements in contempla- tion it has been thought best to raise the subscription price to 50 cents per year, but as an inducement to every one who reads this notice to become subscribers. subscriptions will be received till August 1, 1896, for 25 cents in silver or two cent postage stamps, but after August 1st the price will be raised to 50 cents a year.
