, A Gratifying Success ,
-The fair conducted in tlie Menaid
opera house , T'uesday and Wednesday
afternoons and evenings of thin week ,
by the ladies ( if the Congregational
church , was in t-very respect a most
gratifying success. There was a large
attendance arid generous patronage
of the numerous booths which dotted
the hall , each filled xvith a profusion of
handsome , useful and artistic articles ,
the elegance and quantity of which pei-
haps has never bi-en exhibited and of
fered for sale at any similar affair ever
held in McCook. Tin : tasteful arrangi'-
mcnt and decoration of the various
booths and the endless assortment of
pretty fancy things therein displayed
were a source of much admiration and
comment , and certainly the ladies arc
to be congratulated and praised there
upon.
upon.A
A source of amusement as well as of
profit were the nyjUer suppers given on
Tuesday evening by the married men
and < ) ii Wednesday evening by the
single men. These both passed off
with great ecat , providing a feature
strikingly unique in local annals. As
a future oyster supper by the ladies
will go the conif any realizing the more
from their oyster supper , there was a
spirited rivalry between the benedicts
and bachelors. Up to this time both
sides have withheld their returns , and
some fears are being expressed of
"loading" operations being practiced.
The special costumes in the gypsy
camp , the Japanese and Alaskan booths
were very attractive and gave a pleas
ing variety to the scene.
The ladies realized considerably over
200 dollars net , and feel quite elated
and satisfied over the success which but
justly crowned their persistent and
strenuous efforts.
Don't Know Jim !
Still they com'A traveling mat
named Harris , of MclJook , wants to.gt
to the United States senate from Ne
braska. Who is he , or where he came
from , or what his idea of making peoplt
' laugh is not know. Lincoln Call.
What * don't know Jim Harris ?
Well , we rather think we do. He if
one of the homesteaders of Red Wil
low county , settling there some ten
years ago. He's from Arkansas and
spells democrat with a big D. He
wanted the McCook U. S. office under
President Cleveland eight years ago ,
but when Grover found that Jim never
plowed his corn after planting it , he
appointed Sterling P. Hart to the place
Jim wanted. This didn't discourage
him a bit. He went to selling sewing
machines in Missouri , where they can't
read the machine contracts , and he has
been hiuart enough to keep out of jail.
Jim Harris for senator ? Don't you
believe it. He is after something near-
cr home , and if he don't wear the same
old suit of clothes that he did eight
years ago , and throws away that in-
. femal old tape , the aroma of which
would drive a strong man to drink , he
vrill come close , awful close , getting it.
-Jiui Harris for senator ? And still
people wonder at the increase of crime.
