A North Platte Boy Honored.
Arthur Strahorn, ot this city,
who lor a year past has been cm
ployed m the east part of the state,

Numbering Houses.
Six or eight years ago the city
cauncil passed an ordinance or
dering all business houses and
residences to be numbered. This
work was taken up by a party, but
little was done. R. II. Langford
has now taken up the work and is
making a canvass ol the city. He
carries with him a sample of the
number plates which he selln, the
strong point of which, in addition
0 its beauty, is that it can be read
is easily by night as by day.
We believe residents will take
kindiy to having their houses mint-
iercd, for by this means a stranger
. an be intelligently directed to any
'muse which he desires to find or
ie can easily find the place himself.
Phe expense of the number plates
i slight.
In connection with house mini
iveting, we understand Mr. Lang-
1 ird will probably issue a. city di
ectorv. Mrs. Kate Connelly has gone to
Cheyenne, where hhe expects to
make her tuture home.
Talk about clean walls, every
'iody can have them all the tunc at
very little expense with Wall Paper
only 5 cents a double roll. Newton
lias it at that price.
