P. Sullivan retires tod.iy from thi
b ) t\rd of count- ' commissioners , hon
ored and respected by all.
For six years lie has been a mem.be :
of the county board , having been nomi
nated and elected by democrats in < '
three cornered fight. During thnttihu
he has made scores of warm friends b }
his honest , conscientious work for the
county , and not a few cordial cue nics
from the same cause. Always true tc
his friends he was still truer to his con
victions of right , and , never allowed
personal matters to stand between him
and his duty to therpeopjov
When Commissioner Sullivan first
took his seat he foirid the county
floundering m a confusion of debts , but
he soon inaugurated a financial policy
which has slowly but surely raised the
credit of Cherry county until it stands
well up toward the head of the list in'
this state. At the close of his first
term hefwis prevailed upon to run
again , and was elected against strong
opposition. His policy of economy and
ousiness principles was continued
lespite the roar of -dodger.s and
had he wished it is probable ho would
have received the nomination again
this year.
From first to last he has .worked for
*
*
-
court house for Cherry county , and
most of his enemies were made by this
course of his. To him more than any
ther one man is due the victory of last
'all , and his only regret at leaving his
office now arises from the fact that he
, vill not be on the board to in a meas
ure oversee the construction of the
building.
None but-good words are heard for
, he retiring commissioner , friends and
'oes alike giving him credit for having
he courage of his convictions. Would
hat all officers could retire with as
; oed a record.
. II. Nye , a feeder and shipper of
Fender , brought in a car of- cattle of
his own feeding that sold for a very
satisfactory price. Mr. Ne has been
over a considerable part of Wayne ,
Thurston and Cuming counties within
a recent date and finds that there are
far less cattle fattening this year than
last. It is quite true , however , that the
number of head is likely equal to or
even greater than last year but the vast
part of the holdings are oung animals
that are being roughed through the
winter to be either sold to the feeding
trade next season" go , inio the feed
lots later on. Iirhis-o nnioh'-Lthe out
look for decent prices-oil futrjfcattle for
some tims to como are mcfstrflattering
and he thinks that Jhose-who are in the
business this year will reap a reason
able compensation for their labors The
season to date has been dry and cold
nearly all the season , the condition
most desired for putting on llesh High
priced stock cattle a year ago and cor
responding low figures on the i nished
product following , caused the small
feeders to diop out this season and sell
out their crops rather than run the risk
of fattening cattle for market. On the
other hand the supply of hogs seems to
be rather larger than usual especially
in Wayne and Cuming t ounties , while
n 1 k irston county , as near as Mr.
N\e is able to judge , the number is just
about as large as last \ ear. They
raised a good crop of corn in that sec
tiou the past year , but about twenty
per cent of it is yet in the fields. Uough
feed of all viml.s is plentiful and stock
of all kinds will be well suppl.e i
throughout the wiliter. OroveivJour

that he would join the crowd this

approval :
Filled with a desire to benefit myself
and fellow citizens I hereby resolve
tiiat during- the year 18J ! ) I will strive"
to make my paper better than ever ;
that I will support none but good men
for office : that I will give every sub'
scription account over two years old
to attorneys or collectors , unless pro
vision for its payment has been made.
I won't drink nor use profane lan
guage ; I will not refuse to take a
dollar for.a year's subscription.
