Official City andCounty Paper.
THE Trenton Register is a very neat
little exchange bj Morse & Britten , the
initial number of which is before us.
PRESIDENT CLEVELAND'S message is
the most verbose one on record. He is
" evidently trying to "even up" on his
* short and sensible inaugural address.
THIS land of liberty will some day be
called upon to decide who are-lhe right
ful possessors of its fruitful lands , those
who live thereon and improve the same
or landlords.
THE nezt great question which will
confront the people of this republic is
i that of the relations of capital and la
! bor , which seem to be becoming more
and more strained each 3'ear.
Ax effort is being made already to
repeal the civil service bill , by the pres
ent congress. The great difficulty seeuis
to be the inability of thu average bour
bon to pass muster and secure the
spoils which to the victor belong.
Hence the whyness of the endeavor to
repeal the law.
THE New York Tribune has been
pondering on the lessons conveyed in
that popular song about my "Grand
father's Clock * ' and observes that old
men and old clocks are prone to stop
short , never to go again , on the advent
of the first severe weather in December.
The sudden cold searches for a weak
spot in the human and time keeping
machineiy and when it finds it pounces
upon it , and men and clocks , that seem
ed to be going on as well as ever , sud
denly conclude their labors. The unex
pected departure of Vice President
Hendricks , . H. Vanderbilt and B.
Gratz Brown , all hale and hearty , though
past their meridian strength , within a
. few days of each other , gives emphasis
to the theory.
THE death of B. Gratz Brown is an
nounced. He was long a central figure
in Missouri state politics and in 1863 ,
after. , having seen active service in the
army , he was elected to the United
States Senate , and in 1S70 he became
Governor of the state. En 1872 he was
nominated for the Vice Presidency , with
Horace Greeley at the head of the ticket.
He was a bold champion of anti-slavery
and was during his political career one
of the foremost men of the state. Mr.
Brown had lately been appointed Master
in Chancery in the United States Court
and was engaged on an important rail
road case when he was taken ill. At
first it was thought the attack was a
slight one , but Saturday symptoms of
heart disease developed and his condi
tion soon changed for the worse. He
died at Kirkwood. a suburb of St. Louie ,
Sunday morning. Gazette-Journal.

VAILTON NOTES.
We understand Grandpa Brown is
recovering from his severe illness. We
also note the recent arrival of his
daughter , Mrs. Harol&on , of Colorado.
She was an early settler here and Js
greatly surprised at the changes and
progress this section has undergone.
Solon MoCroskie's family arrived ,
last week
We think D. W. Clements must be a
hunter of the olden time. He has al-
ready brought in three deer from the
chase , besides wolves , jack rabbits and
the like. Mr. Clements has some very
fine hounds.
Mr. Wickwire was looking'after his
Yailton interests , the first of the week.
We learn that Mr. Frye has been
quite ill of late , but is now improving
and will be on deck soon. He is teach
ing just south of Yailton.
Mr. Beas'lcy , of pioneer days , spent
a season with old friends , last week.
The enrollment of Yailton school ,
including pupils from outside the dis
trict , reached thirty-eight names , and
it will probably reach forty by the first
of January.
Preparations are being made for a
Christmas entertainment at this place.
Hope it.will be a success. RALPH.
The following communication , which
was handed us too late for publication ,
last week , is duly presented at this time.
Those interested will understand its
import :
Box ELDKK , ISKU. . Dec. 10th.
To TIII ; McCooK TKIIJUXK : Noticing
among the Box Elder Berries tent by "X. O.
Good" ' to the Courier , that it was predicted
that "the man who promised the half bushel
of apples for each conversion would-find it
finite expensive , " we desire to say to " .N" .
O. Good" and to all the other "Berries' ' who
have been converted , that we have made
arrangements with Messrs. Shaw & Boyer of
Indianola to furnish all the apples necessary ,
upon the order of Mr. John AVelborn. There
fore present your claims to Mr. W. who will
deliver the apples. It may be expensive , but
as these are not the same apples of which
Eve ate and gave Adam , it will certainly be
harmless to mix a few apples with so many
berries. Box EI.DEI : AIMM.ES.
Important to Blacksmiths.

We have just received a shipment of
the celebrated Cumberland smithing

j THE CRETE NURSERIES.
! One of the most important and exten
sive business enterprises of which the
1 city of Crete can boast , is that of the
Crete Nurseries. The Globe , believing
that'its readers arc ever interested in all
enterprises which are of benefit to our
city and country , as well as the state ,
h/-taken pains to give in this issue
s 8Je facts in regard to the business
do'nfe by the Crete Nurseries in the past
year , and its present condition. The
other day it was the good fortune of a
Globe representative to visit Mr. E. F.
Stephens , the genial and energetic su
perintendent of the nurseries at his
home , and inspect thecity delivery
grounds with him. Mr. Stephens has
just completed the erection of a neat
and substantial office. It is a building
30x16 feet , and two stories high. The
lower part is divided into two rooms ,
one for a general and the other for a
private office. Thete will be well fur
nished with office furniture , and are ar
ranged with a view to convenience.
The upper story consists of four appart-
ments which will be used as sleeping
rooms. The cost of the building with
its furniture will be § 600. Near this
building is a delivery shed , where ship
ping cases are made and stock prepared
for shipment. We found men here sort
ing seedlings which were to be sent east.
Mr. Stephens has about filled a contract
with eastern parties for two and one-
half millions of these seedlings. lie in
formed us that western seedlings were
regarded as much better in every way
than those which could be procured in
the east , since they are larger , of a
healthier growth and free from insects ,
especially what are known as plant lice.
The Crete nurseries have at the present
time 210 acres of growing nurse'ry
stock , and are using in all 520 acres in
the business. They own 102 town lots
in Crete which are recrved exclusively
for ornamental stock ; in addition to
these they lease 200 lots for the same
purpose. The company has recently
purchased seventy-eight town lots.
Many lots in our city , which last year
produced a.crop of weeds , this season
are producing $150 per acre. The
stock sains during the past year amount
ed to the enormous sum of $40,000.
Six salaried agents are constantly cm-
ployed and forty local agents. In the
nursery here from foity to seventy-five
men are required the year around. It
was a surprise to us to know that in the
past year 50j GOO feet of lumber had
been used in the manufacture of cases
and in improvements. The business of
the nurser } ' is rapidly increasing , and a
visit to the grounds cannot fail to im
press one with the fact of its success.
Mr. Stephens by his push and energy
has brought the business to its present
prosperity , and it is _ sure to increase
proportionately in the future. Crete
