If plans do not go awry, thirty North Platte men will charter a Pullman to mnko the trip to the Pacific coast to witness the Jeffries-Johnson fight. It is figured that tho trip can bo made for seventy-five dollars per man for faro and Pullman, counting thirty men to the car. Nenrly all those who have been solicited to make the trip have announced their willingness to go. Set a Good Pace. As will bo seen by an advertisement in these colums, the business men of Mnx well will adopt the cash system next month. Tho move is to bo commended, for cash buying is in the interests of the purchaser as well as tho seller the latter can afford to sell goods on n closer margin and in so doing tho for mer receives the benefit. Generally sneaking people buy goods on credit through force of habit, having con tracted the habit years ago, and not for lack of ready money. All will find too, thnt paying as they go will encour age economy. Attention. Tho Hub's Big Sale Is not n mark up sale, but on every item tho discount is taken from tho regular price.

It is not the policy of the W. W. Kimball Co., (capital $5,000,000), to spend great sums in magazine advertising which is the usual method of large piano manufacturers. The cost of such advertising is enormous and the benefits nnd restilts uncertain, but in this manner the name of their famous pianos will be indellibly impressed upon the minds of the people. This is the object of the advertising and in this contest both the dealer and the public secure direct benefit.
