Louisville.
Heing at Louisville a short time
last week, and always being desir
ous of giving evet body and every
town their dues, we feel tinder obli
gattont to express our exact opin
ion of the nourishing liltle town of
Louisville.
It is pleasantly located on the
southern slope of the La Platte and
is at the junction of three railroads,
the Rock Island, the M. I', and the
RAM. The Rock Island is on the
north side of the river but passen
gers are permitted to get on and off
at the railroad crossing, which place
is easily reached by means of the
free bridge which crosses the river
at that place and is the only one for
miles around.
Fully mhi people reside in this
place and they are active, energetic
workers, which is demonstrated by
the interest manifested in their own
town. Good brick buildings are
rapidly being built in the place of
the old frame ones and shortly it
will have nothing but brick on Main
street. The Hank of Commerce is
erecting a two story building of
pre-sed brick, the upper part to be
furnished up for a hall and to be
used by the I. O.O. F., which order
is very strong here. C A. M. inker
is having a new dwelling built
which adorns the south part of
town to no little degree.
A. G. I'aukonin is building a new
hardware and implement house and :
will soon be ready to carry on his
business on an extensive scale.
Louisville is represented with the
following business: Five general
merchandise, two drug and notion,
two blacksmith shops, two hotels,
brick works, stone ouarries. where
work can be obtained at anv time at !
ifl.75 per day, two lumber yards, two
elevators, one newspaper
three saloons and two
churches but three denominations,
one of which hold services in the
hall, they will probably erect a
new building soon; two barber
shops, one restaurant with Miles.
Drake proprietor; two doctors, J. A
Hassemier and J. W. Streight, both
of whom are enjoying a good prac
tice. A. G. ("line is a notary public
and insurance agent. Walter Cut
forth is the hardware man. Truman
Hall is the harness maker.
There are many other things and
persons worthy of mention btiti
space postpones them until some
other time.
The body of a dead man was re
ported floating down the river pa-t
here Saturday morning. The par
ties that saw it said it had a sandy
mustache and light whiskers. The
city marshal immediately tele
graphed to Cedar Creek to watch
for the body.
There are a good many covered
wagons crossing the bridge over
the Platte this summer.
There is a large force of Italians
stationed here to work on the It. A
M. railroad.
Our new school board is alive to
it business. We have a ten months'
school.and the teaches are already
employed. School commences
August
Just now ii line rain is making the
farmer feel good.

Crops of all kinds are about two
weeks late. The early spring rains
did it. Plenty of farmers are still
cultivating their corn. Usually
fields of corn are in tassel at this
time of the year. With a late fall
we will have a crop of fair corn.
Otherwise vice versa.

The Jolly Farmer Man.
I know a jolly farmer man, a tiller
of ye soil we've had them since the
world began, these sous of noble
toil. It was as late as yesterday tnv
farmer friend dropped in, as cheer
ful as a morn in May, to swap a lit
tie chin; to talk of crops and grow
ing herds, and asks the news in
town, or give Jus views in home
spun words on topics floating
'round
He hadn't very lone- to
stay, for sunny days in summer
were just the days for making hay,
ny every hay-seed hummer.
"The crops are fine," mv yeoman
said, "the oats and wheat are grand,
theilax is coming into hepd, and
corn's a bully stand. There's not
a runt among my shoats my steers
all feed in clover, and not a cloud
of trouble lloats the dear old home
stead over. The desert blossoms
as the rose, and sure there's plenty
in it for every willing man who
knows enough to work and win it.
For brawn and brain are in com
mand, as sure as I'ni a sinner, and

his leaky old tin cup with bitter,

oa the ship of state, short-sighted
eyes a blinking, and vows that all
her precious freight is steadily a
a sinking; who sows the seed of
rank distrust among his fellow men.
and kicks up such a cloud of dust
he can't wash clean again. No
thank you, mister printer man, I
don't want none of that, for I'm no
follower of Van, and don't talk
through my hat. I'm letting well
enough alone, the taritf and all sich;
I have no hard lot to bemoan, and
envy not the rich. I'm surely not a
fool let loose your pardon sir, I
beg- to go and kill the good old
goose that lays my golden egg.''
Oh, blessed be ye farmer man,
with sunshine in his soul, and may
the heaven's brightest span rest on
his final goal where demagogues
are quite shut out, with all their
kith and kin, and croakers, too, will
wail and shout because they can't

Why is it that
Strictly
Pure White Lead
is the best paint?
Because it will outlast all
other Paints, make a hand
somer finish, give better pro
tection to the wood, and the
nrst cost ol painting will be
less.
If a color other than white
is wanted, tint the Lead with
the National Lead Co.'s
Pure White Lead
Tinting Colors
These colors are sold in
small cans, one pound being
sufficient to tint twenty-five

to use only old and well
