The Democrat says that our villain
ous lies ( ? ) regarding those suppositious

ing imperative.
The Democrat flies to the defense of
those suppositious ( ? ) pets of that relig
ious journal , again in the late issue

recognize the existence of one's friends
is nothing short of refined cruelty. Ter
rible to contemplate.

is digging on the divide northwest of
town , at a depth of seventy-five feet.
The bone was entirely petrified , and
from the size of the fragment shown us
the rib evidently belonged to an animal
whose race has long since been extinct.
These "finds" open up a long avenue of
speculation.

n this section.
The representatives of the different
wholesale implement houses who are
creditors in the LaTourette failure , have
jeen playing an amusing hide-and-go-
ieek game. One enterprising fellow
ivould have a drayman haul a lot of mow-
jrs , etc. , away and hide them in a barn ,
: overing them with hay , only to have
mother representative equally as wide-
iwake as he , rustle around , discover
; he plant and have it returned to the
nemises , and attach the same. The
awyers and draymen have had quite a
jic-nic.
The City Engineer of Lincoln was in

it the first crossing north of the track ,
md runs to the top of the hill at the U.
5. Land Office , where a cut of three and
me-half feet will have to be made when
he work is completed. This will take
L considerable sum of money , toward
vhich the Lincoln Land Co. has sub-
icribed $75. The work will have to be
lone by degrees , as the city is not in
inancial condition to complete the work
n one year.
REAL ESTATE Wm. Fruin disposed
if his deeded quarter , three miles north-
rest of town , last week , for $1,100.
ihe Fred Carter claim was sold , last
reek , by H. C. Rider to R. E. Campbell
if York State , the consideration being
! 250 cash , and two mules and'harness
nd a spring wagon , the outfit in which
he Doctor and wife drove from North
'latte to our city. The Doctor alsoin-
ested in some other claims in this vi-
inityin addition to loaning a few thous-
nd dollars , on real estate security , to
arties in town.
Through courtesy of R. H. Hamiltoi
we are enabled to peruse the "Preuiiuu
List of the Red Willow County Agri
cultural Society for the Third Annua
Fair to be held at Indianola , Neb. ,
Wednesday , Thursday and Friday Sep
tember 2d , 3d , and 4th , 1885. " Acas
ual glance reveals the fact that nom
but Indianola merchants arerepresentec
in the ads. to be found on every alter
nate page thereof. This fact needs ex
planation , as we are credibly informed
that the ads. lack $15 of paying for the
list , and this amount will perforce have
to be made good by the society , whicli
fact could have been changed , had the
proper solicitation been made , had the
existence of the small hamlet of McCook
been recognized. If we understand the
matter aright the fair is supposed to be
for Red Willow county , and we take
this occasion to suggest that McCook is
a ' 'wee small" part of the same , which
fact she is fully capable of demonstrat
ing. The list on the face is palpably
unfair in its showing. It is voluminous
to a fault makes an attempt at being
too comprehensive for a fair.

and all kinds of Building Material.
The announcement of the failure of
W. C. LaTourette , our pioneer hard
ware man , fell upon the ears of our as
tonished people , like a stroke of light
ning from a clear sky. Being consid
ered one of the most substantial of our
business men , the idea of failure was re
motest from the minds of all. We do
not know what occasioned the crisis ,
future developments may make the
cause more clear , but from all the data
we are able to gather , the failure is most
disastrous , and none are more profound
ly pained to chronicle the event than we ,
out of personal regard for Mr. LaTour
ette , and in view of the unavoidable ef
fect such occurrences have upon the busi
ness community. The liabilities aggre
gate over $21,000 , while the assets will
not reach more than $10,000 , hence the
haste of creditors to secure themselves
by attachment , garnishee , etc. The
store which has been closed for a num
ber of days was opened up this morning
by Ed. Marquis , manager * for Pratt &
Lawson.

Bakery.
After complimenting the editor here
of , ( for the payment of which well and
truly to be made , we bind ourselves , as
signs , heirs , etc. , ) Bro. Bishop inad
vertently , we take it , gives himself
away , pleads guilty to having wilfully
prevaricated concerning our 4th of July
celebration. It appears that we were
mistaken as to the author. And it
further appears that the Courier's re
porter mentioned the fact that the cel
ebration was "tame , " upon which Bro.
Bishop based his inconsistent remarks
about drunkenness , etc. Why our ru
ral friend at the county-seat must be so
accustomed to having every day Sunday ,
that the sight ot'one intoxicated indi
vidual both disorders his nerves and
magnifies his imagination. We accept
the Courier's apology , with this admoni
tion , "Go thou and sin no more. "

One of the imperative needs of our
jity is an association of our business
aen for the purpose of buying and es-
; ablishing a market for grain. We sim
ply state a fact when we say that valua-
) le trade is lost to our town through our
'ailure to provide such a market. The
? armer will most certainly go to the town
vhere he can sell the products of his
? arm , and there do his trading. While
> ur great distance from market and the
imited amount of grain in the country
nakes it impossible to ship grain at any
; reat profit , still the trade thus drawn
.0 . town will largely recompense the busi-
less men for whatever outlay they may
nake.

hop. He will keep constantly on hand
