THE HERALD .FLATTSMOUTII, NEBRASKA. THURSDAY, JUNE 20, 1872. FARMERS' COLUMN. Cootribationi to this Column are requested from the practical farmers of the county. ,-. . . Things In Central. The weather has very much improved since our last. Once more the sun shines on the just and unjust ; alike on the late corn just pecpiDg through, and on the early corn plum full of weeds, and its a Tery even "tos3 up," as to which crop will be the best next falL Geo. Francis Train, prophecies that flour, corn, wheat and cotton will double in value inside of ninety days. Should that be so and there is some grouud in Train's madness outside of politic! cur farmers may consider themselves as in luck, this time, for every chance seems now in their favor for a splendid yield of wualr grains. Train alio tells us that St. Louis will be the largest cify in the United States in fity years that, maybe, will aid us no I mean our children who will Borne day ship the products of their farms to this modern centre of the Uni verse at much less rates than it now costs to get to a market. Better than this, though, our farmers may set it down for a fuct, that withiu our day, and quicker than most of us think, we shs.ll have an outlet to the Fee board by way of Galveston or some southern port in Texas, and then good bye to long transits and high rates for shipping grain from Nebraska. Com petition will lower them, and manufacto ries begin to bring in mouths to feed tt home, so that our last days shall be bet ter than our Gist; and in the fullness if old ago under our own vine and fig tree3 we shall dwell in pcaca and prosperity, and laugh at the day3 when we wondered whether Nebraska was a good farming .country or no, and even doubted the chances of making a living at it some times. Advexll.te Your County. We all want more settlers in and around us; every merchant in town feels that, every farmer a3 he rides over the long, vacant stretches of prairie, on his way to and from market, knows this. We have the soil, the advantages of shipment, and the proximity of railroads, schools and churches. All we need now is the capital and labor to develop their wonderful facilities. In order to obtain these we should ad vertise our county. Sen! your home papers East, and your pamphlets and circulars. Not every one brings a har vest, but many will in the course of time b.ing forth fruits. T.'e v . It is said, in a Washington lispatch, that Senator Carpenter is soon going on a- diplomatic vi-it to Canada, in connec tion with the Wellington treaty. Jit. Plea-ant, Iowa, June 12. Second Diy. The Iowa Press Con tention was atten lfd by over one hun dred editors, the p.us.. of uiut-rcut sec tions of the State being well represented.

The new Land District created for southwestern Nebraska will he a great accommodation to the people of the Platte "and Republican Valleys. It is not decided yet where the Land Office will be located ; but everything goes to show that Lowell, on the line of the UurliDcton & Missouri llailro;J m Ne braska, is the inoat conveni.nt and uiost accptable place for the location thereof. Lentrthy petitions have been forwarded from residents of the I'latte and Repub lican alleys in lavor of the new Land Office being located at Lowell, and there, undoubtedly, it will go. star.

We learn that an excellent article of coal stone coal, we understand has been discovered on Sappa Creek, He publican River, in Harlan County, Ne braska. It is reported that a sackful of the coal has been brought in, but we have not got a sight of any of it yet. We eive the report as it conies to us. and will be able to give a more 6aUfactory report as soon as we have more authority. or have seen undoubted specimens of the coal. If the report as it comes to us is confirmed, it wiil be a glorious discove ry especially it the coal-beds are of such a character as to render them profitable in niiniug. Central Nebraska will then be far iu advance of what even the most sanguine expected. We will thank the discoverers, or any of tl o e ttY.o haveVpe cimens of the coal, to tend some of the jetty brilliants to our fanclum for irener al inspection, so that we niay make a good report of this favored region a new scource ot wealth contribution to our com mpn prosperity.'

No person can take these Bit ters according to directions and remain long en well, provided their bones nra not destroyed by mineral poison or other means, and the vital organs wasted beyond tho point of repair. They are a Geutlo Pargative asvell as a Tonic, possessing, also, the peculiar Cici il of acting as a powerful agcr.t in relieving Congestion or Inflam-? mation of tho Liver, and all the Visceral Organs. FOIl FEMALE COMPLAINTS, In young or old. married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the turn of lite, these Tonic Bitters have no equal. For Inflammatory and Chronic Rheuma tism and Jout, Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Bilious, Remittent and Intermittent Fe vers, Ilisenscs of the IJlood, Liver, Kid neys and Itiaddcr, these Bitters have been most successful.

She said Mrs. Har ris had sent her after their newspaper which my wife had borrowed. As wo sat down to tea my wife said to mo by name: "I wish you would subscribe for tho newspaper; it is so much comfort to mo when you are away from home " 4tI wt uld like to do so," said I. "but you know I owe a payment on the house and lot. It will bo all I can do to meet it " She replied: ."If you will tako this paper, I will sew for the tailor to pay for I subscribed for tho paper ; it came in due time to the shop. While rtstinir one noon and looking over it, I saw an advertisement of tho couDty commis sioner: to let a bridge that was to bo built. I iit in a bid for tho bridge, and the job was awarded to me, on which I cl-an-d $3(X, which enabled uio to pay for my hou and lot easily, and fur tho newspaper. If I had not subscribed for the newspaptr I would not have known anything aboit tLe contract, and could not have met my payment on my house and lot.

If you like lager more than you love me, juH marry it at once, and don't divide your affec tions between a woman and wine or woman and lager ; love and liquor have no affinity."

Finally a meeting of the indorsers was held, and Mr. Greeley put on his spectacles, took up his bond, and dolefully read over the conditions.
