Material Improvement."
During the "old man's" absence in Col
orado a couple of weeks ago the Times
commented on the "material improve
ment" of The Herald, whJch assertion
was correct, we are pleased to say. How
ever, all the credit was given Mr. Louns
bury when it should have been
divided with Mr. Kniest as both of them
took much interest in the paper. And
what made the comment more pleasing is
the fact that this was the first favorable
mention ever made of Thb'Herald by that
sheet. We thought at the time what a
treat it would be to Times readers if Bro.
Ellis would take a vacation and that is
what he did this week. Mrs. Rustin, re
publican candidate for county superintend
ent of schools, has editorial charge of his
paper with the result of "material Im
provement" and we venture to say that
great family journal of morality and sun
shine would be appreciated by its read
ders if the present editorial management
was made permanent and Mr, Ellis run
for the supcrintendency.
At the meeting of the city council last
Saturday evening the mayor appointed W.

avail, as Kearney was selected after over
a hundred ballots. Alliance need not feel

C. W. Brennan went to Hemingford
Wednesday to form the acquaintance of
voters in that section of the county. It is
now evident to everybody that Charlie is
the strongest candidate the fusionists
could have nominated for the office of
county treasurer. He has been a resident
of the county for sixteen years and nothing
can be said against his character or quali
fications. He will receive a splendid vote
in Alliance and there is no reason why he
should not have the solid fusion support
throughout the county. Mr. Brennan will
make a clean, gentlemanly campaign.
