LEBANON DOTS.
Our ground hog winter has about run its
race.
The Red Willow county precinct that gave
the largest republican plurality in November ,
1890 , lost heavily in population , last fall. We
are now recuperating.

clare that ho was driving with both hands.
There was a poor , lone , bare-footed kid came
to J. 0. Cumming's residence , a few nights

Mother and kid all right. J. B. about wild.
Mr. John Kiser with his wife and three
daughters ( hi there you old batches ) has just
moved in here from Nemaha county , bringing

I overheard a late member of Lebanon Al-
iance ask their very able Secretary why he ,
be inquirer , had been expelled from the Al-

with our efficient road overseer to have 100
acres broke , this spring , and he will bring bis
wife and kids out here to live , next fall.
Our ex-double , ex-county commissioner is

The same confiding souls are also told that
after the 4th of March Lebanon will get a
'ostmaster that does not dabble in politics.
A resident of this precinct who does not dab
ble in politics will be a prize for Barnum in
deed.
Every farmer in Red Willow county's pro-
inct thai , gave the.largest republican majori-
y in November , 1890 , is anxiously waiting for
. Frost to leave mother earth so they can go
o seeding and while the majority of us Lords
of Creation are short on lucre , wheat , oats ,
corn and praties and long on thin horses and
cattle I believe every one is making a heroic
effort to till every acre possible and I must
confess that the crop acreage is going to be
away above anything I thought possible six
weeks ago. JAKE HARMON.
