Allen of this city re cently received an old keepsake from his uncle, Win, T. Allen, who resides at Columbus, Neb., which is of great interest to nil liberty-loving Americans and at the same time traces Mr. Allen's family record back to a man who in this age would see much that fails to equal the standard of liberty he distinguished himself for. Tho relic is in the form of a razor that was tho personal property of General Ethan Allen of Revolutionary war, fame, in his letter to Mr. Allen which accom panied the heirloom, the writer says; "This razor most be kept in the Allen family. It was handed from Ethan Allen to John J. Allen,' your great grandfather. He handed it down to his son, John B. Allen. Your grandfather, Allen, my father, gave it to me and I to you. Please care for it and hand it down as an old relic of the Allen family. Your great grandfather Al len, was ono of the 12 men that marched into Ticouderoga under General Iithan Al len. Ethan had 3O men all told. In that eventful attack he left iC men to guard the boat, four at the road crossing and four to guard the back gates, that left him 12 men with which to take the fort, which he did, including 64 prisoners, all stores, arms and ammunition. And all this in the words that will always livo: "In the name of tho great Jehovah and the Continental Con gress." The rare old relic is as bright and serviceable as a modern razor and no doubt will often shave the face of the Allen of today. The razor was, left at this office by Mr. Allen and may be hean by those interested, Around the World. The Herald hereby acknowledges with thanks a copy of Rcv.E.C Horn's work en titled, "Around the World.'' The edition contains a narrative of a tour of the globe by Dr. Horn, whom, it will be remem bered, started on that interesting journey while a resident of Alliance. The writer centainly was at his best on the trip and it can be plainly seen in his descriptive writ ings that little of interest escaped liis eye. The book is illustrated with scenes of foreign lands and people that will interest everyone and in short the volumne will find a prominent place in many libraries. In tho introduction, Dr. Horn refers to this paper, which published his foreign letters, as follows: "Being under exclus ive contract with The Alliance Herald as its "Around the World" representative, numerous courtesies were extended by the press, bp our consuls, and by the officials of transportation lines throughout the thirty-thousa'nd-mile journey, space for bidding individual mention."

And the wonderful develop ment of that new country has been due not 111010 to natural advantages than to tho presence of such men as Editor O'Keefe, whose push and enterprise have carried the tidings of goods things in western Nebraska to all the world.

Also want to congratu late you very heartily upon the splendid appearance of this number.

It is a production iu every way to the honor of its editors and shows that the business men of Alliance are fully alive to tho merits of the great advertising they, as well as the city, get from such an issue. The writer can hardly realize from the trips be used to make commercially through that territory in the eighties, that such a growth is possiljjc, and although not from Missouri, I must admit I am be Having by seeing the great progress your nowspapcr shows has taken place, Toll our good friond Smysor he still re tains his good looks and youth, which is evidence that alkali water will ,agreo with a democrat when taken in homeo pathic doses. Regardless of politics, the other officials of Box Butte county show a remarkable degree of good looks and since your lady superintend ent of schools is a partial product of Omaha educational institutions wo re alize the attainment which will accrue to teachers and scholars under her supervision. 1 bavo suggostod to sev eral of our bachelor attorneys that you bad a few 'Waiting for a Home' in your locality and if tho 'Hnrrolfull,' as you illustrate, is a sample of tho bounty of ydur laud you may not bo surprised to see a few of the aforesaid bachelors emigrating to Box Butte county. We shall hope in due course of time that those two Htth Misses, Sarah O'Keefe and Agnes Newberry will convert Master Glen Miller to pure democracy if hu has not nlready been started tho right way. Those members of the Bar Tenders' Union are a handsome lot of fellows. I should make a guess that they had originated from Omaha. In this issue you make it appear that the editor U a busy man and by the way he tfots busy when hs visits the Jack sonian banquet in Omaha wo shall pre sume that the photographer caught him at his real work. Wo shall sinceroly hope the good work .vill go on and you will find it expedfent to issue this great advertising Herald quartorly. Po not forget" your friends when you do. Wc shall hope to meet you at the state con vention in Juno and hope to find that the morning after November 5U1 yon can cover tho .outside pages of your Herald with roosters iiuten.1 of Indians."
