The Kearney Democrat makes the
bold assertion that Noah was the first
man to advertise ; he advertised the
flood and came through it all right.
The fellows who laughed at advertising
got drowned , and it served them right.
Ever since Noah's time the advertiser
has been prospering while the other fel
low is being swallowed up in the flood
of disaster. We have no sympathy.for
the "other fellow , " the example of his
illustrious ancestor should teach him
better ; there is plenty of room in the
sea of disaster and besides it makes no
room for the man who advertises. Ex.
The term "girlette"is floating around
among the newspapers. A "girlette"
is something that ba $ the shape of a
girl , but does not act like a girl should.
The "girlette" is a young person of the
feminine gender , anywhere from 12 to
20 years of age , that idles and dawdles ,
reads French novels , builds magnificent
castles in the air , falls in love with ev
ery good-looking man she sees a kind
of female puppy love spends whole
hours before the glass , entertains com
pany iu the parlor , chews gum , washes
her face and hands in cream or butter
milk , puts a piece of wedding cake un
der her pillow to dream over , tells the
other girls' fortunes with the grounds
in the bottom of a coffee cup , says "per
fectly delicious , awfully splendid and
ecstatically sweet" rolls her eyes like a
sick calf and imagines she looks angelic
and seraphic , stands at the tail end of
her class in school , never has her les
sons , cheats in her examinations , wrink
les her brow and thinks she looks intel
lectual when the fact is it only adds to
her natural idiotic expression. In fact
the "girlette" does many things , but
she does not keep mother. Ex.

An impromptu irrigation meeting
was held in the McCook Club rooms ,
Saturday evening , at which were present
gentlemen from Stratton , Indianola and
our own city. Those in attendance
discussed the popular project at some
length , when an adjournment was taken
until a date in the early future , when
by proper advertisement of the meeting
it is expected that delegations will be
here from all over this section of Ne
braska.
In the course of a discussion of the
benefits of irrigation in Harper's Maga
zine , Charles Dudley Warner points out
the tremenduous advantage possessed
by the farmer who is able to water his
crops just at the time when moisture is
needed. Irrigation is an invaluable aid
to agriculture in all regions not blessed
with an abundant and regular rainfall ,
even if the ditches are not opened more
than a single time during one or two
seasons. This agrees with THE TRIB
UNE'S position with reference to irriga
tion in western Nebraska. It is not
often that a season as dry as the last
will be experienced , but there will be
few years in which an occasional wet
ting will not vastly improve crops , both
in quality and yield. That improve
ment in ordinary seasons ought to be
marked enough to pay for getting the
water , if it is not extremely expensive ,
while in a season of drouth the ditch
water will prove the salvation of all
kinds of crops. Wherever it is possible
to get water , irrigating ditches ought to
be constructed. They will prove profit
able to the investors and of inestimable
value to the farmers.
THEIR SECOHD ANNUAL.
The 0. R. C. boys have settled upon
Thursday evening , February 5th , as the
date for their second annual ball and
banquet. The opera house will be the
scene of the ball ; the banquet will be
served at the B. & M. Eating House.
Reizenstein's orchestra will furnish the
music. Invitations will be out in a few
days. The members of the order are
making every provision for an event
which will equal any ball and banquet
ever held on the western division , so
that those who may be favored with an
invitation may anticipate something
"very silky. " The following members

TO Me COOK BUSINESS MEN.
THE TRIBUNE is a zealous , active re
presentative of your interests and of
every worthy interests of the city. It
aims to give McCook one of the best
newspapers in Nebraska. From a finan
cial standpoint it is doing all that it can
do to keep McCook where the city
rightfully belongs , in the very front
rank of the enterprising young cities of
the state. It is ever doing more than
it can afford to do. It therefore asks
the support of every business man , be
it much or little , in order that it may
continue during the coming winter
months to keep up its standard of ex
cellence that has been so frequently al
luded to and complimented by the press
of the state. It is common among
merchants to discontinue their adver
tising , or nearly so , at the begining of
the year , a mistake from a business
point of view and a policy of serious
import to newspaper business. THE
TRIBUNE , with the leading circulation
in the city , offers actual inducements to
advertisers , and believes that it can
make it appear to their advantage to
pursue a comparatively liberal adver
tising policy during the next ninety
day. THE TRIBUNE can give you good
value for your business , and will there
by be enabled to promote your business
interests , and the interests of the city
generally by means of support that will
make it a power for good in and for
the community.
All Over a Hog's Broken Leg.
The damage suit brought by George
Poh against Herman Thole came up in
Squire Colvin's court , Monday after
noon. Esquire Wells for Mr. Thole
raised the question of incompleteness
in the summons and the squire contin
ued the case until Monday.
It appears that Poh's hogs broke into
Thole's corn and damaged same to an
amount sufficient , in Thole's mind , to
warrant his impounding the swine.
Poh secured a writ of replevin , but be
fore the same was served the hogs were
released. In driving the animals home ,
it was discovered that one of them had
a broken leg ; and as Poh had paid for
the corn destroyed , he commenced the
action against Thole for breaking the
refractory hogs's leg.
And on Monday next another effort
will be made before the squire to adju
dicate this important issue.
Joe Cordeal appears for Poh.
INCREASING POPULARITY.
Under the new management the Cir
cle Front livery barn continues to enjoy
an increasing popularity and patronage.
The public appreciate the improve
ments made in vehicles and horses ,
which together with prompt and cour
teous treatment , make the Circle Front
the leading livery establishment of the
Republican vally. They have a fine
string of horses and every conceivable
sort of vehicle in use in this country.
Everything is kept in ship-shape and
their prices are as moderate as first-
class service and equipment and sound
business principles will allow. If you
have need for anything in their line re
member the advantages their establish
ment affords , and give them a call.

THE GAIT FOR ' 91.
Who has measured the pace ? How
many have calculated upon the amount
of energy necessary to make a record
for this new year ? Is it not an easy
calculation ? It certainly seems that
no lengthy arguments or philosophical
demonstrations are necessary to estab
lish the plan , and calculate the neces
sary strength. The purpose for which
the people of McCook should labor are
so apparent that all may know them.
The plan is co-operative and the
strength united action. There are glor
ious results in view. Shall McCook ,
as a city , secure them to herself in tote -
to , or be satisfied with a partial suc
cess ? The people of other sections of
the Union are uniting to secure immi
gration. Every effort looking toward
success they have made. Descriptive
papers filled with interesting matter ,
and illustrations of improved industries
are being circulated by the millions.
Immigration agents are securing cheap
transportation , and united effort is be
ing made to insure a great influx of
population to their midst. McCook
and Red Willow county are filled with
inducements to those who are coming
west. These inducements are laying
dormant. They need the magic im
pulses of a united effort upon the part
of the citizens. Let this effort be made ;
arouse an enthusiasm which will be
felt. This need not be considered a
boom speech , for no such ideas are ad
vanced. It simply means that there
are opportunities lying unused in our
midst which should be gathered up and
applied to furthering the interests of
the people. Every effort on their part
has its influence. If no effort is made ,
no influences are felt. Let the gait
for 1891 be set at a moderate pace , and
by constant effort the year which opened
so auspiciously will be crowned with a
success never before equaled in behalf
of McCook and surrounding community.
NOTICE TO TEACHERS.
By mistake the Teachers' Associa
tion was appointed on the third Satur
day in the month and not noticed 'till
too late to make a change.
If any wish to be examined on that
day , or if anyone has business with me ,
I will be at the brick school house in
McCook to attend to it. I trust there
will be a full attendance of teachers at
the meeting , as there are to be some
features of special interest. It is pro
posed at the summer institute to take
up the more practical parts of Com-
payre's lectures in a series of exercises
and there will be examination in it , tak
ing the place ofTheory and Practice. "
There will also be exercises in "Haw
thorne and His Friends' ' and in "How
to Teach. " Let those who have hith
erto been unable to take up the "Read
ing Circle" course do so now , if possible ,
that they may be the better prepared to
profit by the summer school. There is
no place for the teacher who does not
read , study and strive to keep abreast
with the times.
Each year is a campaign of education.
Let the campaign of 1891 be unsur
passed in the history of our schools for
the good , efficient work done. We who
are so fortunate as to live in the last
decade of a wonderful century should
be alive to the real questions of our
time. We should have a breadth of
interest , a nobility of thought , that is
better than any material prosperity and
is inherent in the highest fortune.
