Both North Platte and Kear iney will make an effort to secure jthe next state irrigation conven tion.

Arrangements have been com pleted whereby W. J. Roche will give his concert at the corner of Spruce and Sixth streets on Satur day, Nov. 28th, from 1:30 to 4 o'clock p. m. Mr. Roche has pre pared a very choice programme and we trust he will be accorded a large and appreciative audience. The receipts ot the concert will be de voted to charitable purposes. John Burke and George Dow len will on Monday next open a flour and feed store in the Bratt building on Front street. The firm will handle flour ieed and hay and sell hogs and cattle. The location is an excellent one for this business and the wagon scales re cently put in makes it convenient forthose who have produce and stock to sell. The concert.and dance to be given by the cornet band on Wed nesday evening of next week will undoubtedly be a very pleasant af fair. The concert will begin at eight o'clock and last one hour, and will be followed by several hours' of dancing. Ever' citizen should invest in a ticket and thus help the boys to purchase music needed for the series ot street concerts to be given next summer. The Patterson & Alexander grading outfit is building a six mile irrigation ditch on the east fork of the Birdwood which will water about 2,500 acres of land. This ditch, will be the property of C. L. Patterson and John Hinman and they expect to sell a sufficient number of water rights to pay them handsomely for their in vestment. The principal part of the land under the ditch is owned by an Omaha party. The Bachelor Maids' Club. which has a membership of about twenty-five young ladies, will hold a session at the guild house next Monday evening. The committee on programme promise the mem bers of the club some pleasant sur prises, and the members are look ing forward to the meeting with great expectancy. Members are al lowed to invite a limited number of friends, so the attendance promises to be quite large. The session will close with a collation. The Bank of Paxton closed its doors last Saturday. This bank has been run on the most conservative plan possible and we understand closed its doors simply to quit bus- and is tully able to pay up its itors and will do so as soon as can be arranged to open rs. xnis is tue Jast ot the n this county.
