Hugh Ralston paid the taxes for the
Rock Island syndicate last Saturday on
their land in this county, amounting to a
little over $ 1,500. 3Ir. Ralston was well
satisfied with his assessment in this coun

fata quite so well in Keith'county, some
seoos there being as higk jus $40.

The ball to be given on the evening

Some of the foreign holders of Keith
cauaty land have "caught it in the "neck"
pretty heavily this year in the matter of
taxes, the amount on some sections being
as high as $80. This is owing very
largely to the school tax, quite a number
of districts haying voted the full limit, 25

Throughout the whole of the south
eastern part of the county, wheat and oats
are looking splendidly, and the farmers
are very busy planting corn ; and when
you consider that each of them is prepar
ing and planting from 75 to 100 acres, it
is an evidence that we are surrounded by
a farming community, and that the name
"ranchemen" is a misnomer. The rains
we have had, and are having, delight the
grangers' hearts, and they go to their
work with an energy born of the hope
that they wili.reap a bountiful harvest.

If any of the readers of this journal
have occasion, when on either business or
pleasure bent, to pass through the south
eastern part of the county, they should
not fail to visit the equery of Mr John
Watt of Deer Creek canyon. Excepting
the stables of Hon. Wm. P. Cody, Mr.
Watts has the fiuest horse ranche in the
county; and his horses are superior to
anything found in this part of the country.
He is engaged principally in the breeding
of trotting and carriage stock, but has
lately imported the celebrated Percheron
stallion, Mouton, weighing 1900 lbs.,
splendidly proportioned, he is a magnifi
cent specimen of the equine race. Any
one visiting Mr. Watt, will meet a per-
the consumer paying the freight both
ways, besides commissions and profits?
By being manufactured here, we would
get the benefit of the manufacturers'
profits, besides the increase of wealth and

We believe that a soap factor' .on a
small scale could be made a profitable
industry at -this point. .The surplus
grease from butcher's stock is prac

at Missouri River points being so low as
to scarcely bear shipment It can be
utilized at home in the manufacture of
soap, saving, freights and laige profits to
jobbers and dealers on this necessity.
Some of our leading citizens are talk
ing up canning factory. An improve

market for its products, as immense
quantities of canned vegetables are con

mining regions. Our soil is peculiarly
adapted to the raising of vegetables of
superior quality, and the jield is enor
mous. In commencing these roanufacturies, it
is not necessary or' advisable to go in on a
large scale ; indeed the tendency is to
commence on. too large a scale, investing
too much money, and the enterprise
proves a failure because of inability to
pay interest on the investment. Com
mence small, the main object being to
produce as good an article as can be made
elsewhere, and there will be no danger of
finding sales at a fair profit.

Decoration Day or Memorial Day,
Which?
Our attention hus been called to the
heading over the program of exercises
for May 30th. In the original as written
by A. H. Church the heading was "6. A.
R. Programme for May 30, 1888," but it
n as printed "G. A. R. Program for
Memorial Day." Is the latter correct, or
should it read "Decoration Day ?" Is the
question. W. M. Taylor, ursine all sol
diers of Curtis to turn out on Memorial
Day says: "The 30th day of May is Dec
oration Day and the Sunday previous is
Memorial Day." In the ofhcial call of
the W. R. C. of Nebraska, General Order
No. 3 commences : "On Mav 30th. the
Grand Army of the Republic will observe
the nation's memorial day."
The Omaha Republican alludes to the
30th as Decoration Day and in another
place in the same article as Memorial
Day. .
In recent proceedings of the W. R. C.
in Lincoln the following sentence occurs :
'A -general order of the national and slsp
one of the department W. R. C. were
read, pertaining to the beautiful obser
vance of memorial day, when every gar
den is robbed of its choicest bloom to
mark the resting places of thousands of
heroic soldiers."
From these expressions it is evident
May 30th is alluded to both as Memorial
and Decoration Day. Correctly speaking,
however, we believe that the 30th of May
is Decoration Day, and the Sunday pre
vious Memorial Day.
