ONeill Wanted Help
When we were in ONeill at the ed
itorial meeting Capt Cross--of Co M
3d Neb Vols told us he could not
use any more recruits Xn conse
quence ten or twelve Cherry county
boys joined the regulars and the rest
of us concluded we would stay at home
Ttiesday Capt Cross telegraphed for
recruits here Eleven men said they
would go and we wired for particulars
The Captain wrote back yesterday
asking for 15 men this morning to be
selected under certain- regulations
but failed to statex what1 they were
Result no recruits ONeill gott the
place Valentine- was- after and the
boys cannot be blamed for not helping
tKem out especially when they are
given no encouragement
Otas to Johnstown
On July 1 Mr J H Seats present
driver of the Sparks mail route living
near that place will move to Johns
town and commence driving the
stage We are sorry to
see Mr Sears leave this county as he
is one of our most highly respected and
industrious citizens To the patrons
of the Norden stage we can recom
mend him highly as a man who is
strictly sober honest and conscien
tious in the discharge of his duties
and bespeak for him a large patronage
in the express and passenger line He
will make his trips on time too and
that is a big item in favor

Several traveling fakirs have been

our-farmers- and ranchmen for gro
ceries to be delivered in the near fu
ture This paper in the past has pub
lished several articles in regard to
theBe traveling fakirs warning the
people that 99 times out of a hundred
money could be saved by buying of
our home merchants We publish this
week an ad showing that one man
alone could have saved 1429 if he
bought of home merchantp and1 there
is no doubt but what he would ha ve
received a better grade- of goods at
least they could have seen what they
were payings Kw Taking this order
as an average one and estimating that
they have sold orders to 100 persons in
this county they have taken from the
people of this county 1429 more than
they would have paid had they bought
