Postmaster Scott has the following notice above the delivery window , and he hopes the hint will be taken : " 'Nothing for me. ' Call your name when you ask for mail. ' " On account of the blustering state of the weather , the fair which was to have been held at Arapahoe last week , was post-poned until Friday and Saturday , October 12th and 13th. The frequenters of the depot witness ed an amusing , but futile , attempt by a tardy passenger to out-wind No. 81 , Friday. But Archibald moved out a little too rapidly for him. Daring feats of horsemanship were exhibited on the streetsMondayby some 'wild cowboys , " whose ability to ride was not impaired by the quantity of "tangle foot" they had taken. McCook experienced a little flour famine , last week , both groceries being entirely out. But , we are informed , there is a goodly stock of that very necessary article on hand now. J. M. Young of Washington , D. C. , connected with Postal Service , was in the city , three days of last week , dur ing winch time he weighed and took the average of the mail matter at this'office. He went on west , Saturday night. Jacob Daniels , Jr. , who has been visiting his son , G. W. Daniels of this place , started for his home in Beverly , \V. Va. , on Wednesday afternoon , Mr. Daniels was well pleased with Red Wil low county , and will have an abundance to talk about to his neighbors at home. o We were glad to see in our office on Tuesday , C. L. Nettleton , G. B. Net- Nettleton , A. N. Nettleton and Mr. Johnson , a gentleman related to them by marriage. They are pleasant gen tlemen , whom we shall be glad to pee whenever they have time to make us a call. R. P. Sharp , the Pioneer Barber of Red Willow county , who for some time past has been located at Indianola , has opened up a shop on Main Street near the Churchill House. Mr. Sharp is an artist in his line , and will shave to the satisfaction of the public. He will re move his family here in a few days , and will make McCook his home. The subject of Rev. Dungan of the Congregational church. Sunday evening , was : "Shall McCook have a saloon ? " The reverend gentleman fell it to be his duty "as'a minister of'.tho gospel to pre sent , this" important question for the carefully cpnsideration of the good people ple of our orderly little city. He dwelt upon , at considerable length , whether our people want a saloon or not , do our merchants , and-o'thers want jt , will it .be productive of .good , good order , etc. ' & < * W. H. Ilayden spent a short time in after bis business interests here. Sunday School will hereafter be lield at 10:30 , and services at 11:30 : , in the morning. Evening services at 7:30. : Rrv. Stuart Croclcctt will not hold services , Sunday , as has been reported. We will give due notice when he will be in McCook. The band boys held their inaugural ball in their hall , Wednesday evening , which was largely attended by our pleas ure-loving people. The music was fine , the floor in good condition , and a de lightful evening was enjoyed by all. They purpose holding another dar.ce in two weeks. _ Mr. A. Vincent , of Taylor county , Iowa , has purchased the cattle ranges and cattle of Mr. Keith and his son-in- law , Mr. Hoge , on Red Willow creek. Mr. Vincent is a young man with the appearances of energy and push , and he will be a valuable acquisition to Red Willow county. The attendance of Odd Fellows at the B. & M. Pharmacy , Thursday even ing , was not so large as was wished. After discussing the feasibility of es tablishing a lodge , the meeting author ized Dr. Johnson to get the signatures of such persons who would go into a lodge as charter members , and adjourn ed to meet again at call. Mr. C. L. Nettleton lias sufficient cause to look with pleasure over the advancement - - vancement of school matters in Red Willow County since he first was elected Superintendent. The school population has increased four fold and the School Districts from sixteen to thirty-eight. We hope that Mr. Net tleton will prepare a detailed statement for publication. Friday will long be remembered by our citizens as being one of the most disagreeable , dusty , windy days of the year. The wind blew a perfect gale , and real estate was on the move all day. The dilapidated appearance of numer ous fences , out-buildings and cliickcn yards attest the stiffness of the breeze. No. 39 was three and half hours late , breasting the storm. We learn from the Omahn. Herald that the B. & M. railway has just let the contract for twenty miles more of their Kenesaw cut-off , which will carry the line twenty miles beyond Mindcnthe , county seat of Kearney county , to which point grading is now in pi ogress and track-laying will soon be com menced. This is a fair indication that the road will be continued until it connects with the main line west of Red Cloud , and bring McCook several hours nearer Chi cago. cago.W. W. F. Wallace of our city , chairman of the board of directors of the State Band Association has been in corres pondence with the several members of thtj board , with reference to the prepar ation of a uniform text book , and the annual band tournament which it is proposed to hold. There is a feeling favorable to both , and it is expected that the board will meet at an early date to arrange for the preparation and publication of the book , and also to de cide upon the pla e of holding the first tournament. We rise to nominate McCook , as the prettiest and best point in the state for the meeting. The Bridge. Mr. George Hocknell returned from Lincoln on Wednesday , and brought with him a communication from R. 0. Phillips that the Railroad Company would transport the material for the McCook bridge free. Also that the company would give the right of way through' their land south of town , on t e condition that it * at the expiration of seven years , the land is needed by the R. R. Com- , pany. they propose to move the bridge to the cast section line at their o\\n cost. As the condition can make no difference to the people of McCook , the proposition will most likely be accepted , and work commenced at once. This will he peed news for-thc people south of the river. T A Pleasant Surprise. " " One'of the most pleasant events of the year in the social world of McCook was a surprise party given to Mrs. S. L. Green on Monday evening. The doctor was in the scheme , and , not be ing a woman , he kept the secret well ; and when the neighbors and friends of Mrs. Green appeared , her surprise was complete. The evening was passed very pleasantly , and , dancing being in augurated , it was kept up till a late hour. Refreshments were served , and their excellence was fully attested by the manner in which they were enjoyed. Among those present your society reporter noted the following : Mr. and Mrs. Wallace , Mr. and Mrs. A. Camp bell , Dr. and Mrs. L. Lee Johnson , Mr. and Mrs. W. W. Fisher , Mr. and Mrs. C. F. Babcock , Mr. and Mrs. T. B. Babcock , Mrs , George E. Hays , Mr. and Mrs. V. Franklin , Mr. and Mrs. J. F. Kcnvon , Mrs. Mcscrvc , Miss Brod- crick , Miss Vaughn , Miss Jennie Fisher , and Messrs.

The advantages of incorporation are many , and we shall not attempt to enter into particulars. The County Commission ers meet in Indianohi on the 6th of October , and if McCook is to be incor porated this fall , the petition should be presented at that time.

Our County Fair. The premiums offered by the manag ers of our county fair are very liberal and should bring out a good exhibit. But even if there were no premiums offered the producers and stockmen of Red Willow should take sufficient in terest in the fair to make it a success by exhibiting the best productions of their farms or herds. It is to be hoped that this view will be taken by the people ple of the county , and the fair be made a success in every particular. Ladies , Attention !
