Mrs. Andy Anderson of the hub returned home the first of last week after a short visit with foreman Erickson's people at the section house. Several loads of shelled corn from the western part of this precinct were marketed at the Platte on Saturday of last week. E.

Several from this community have been in attendance at the revival meetings in the new school house in Hinman the past week. The postollice at Hcrshey has been moved across the street into Stimsonville and is now presided over b- the new postmistress Mrs. L. Strickler, who will carefully attend to your wants in that line.

Goodwin's little baby is slowly recovering from a serious illness of short dura tion. We are pleased to note that Mrs. Dan Gibson's arm is mending.

Mr. Smith has shipped the goods to his home in Missouri thus leaving the town site building at Hershey vacant. Merchants for some unknoAvn couse don't hang out long at that place. W. W. Scott, of North Platte who organized the Sunday school at this place, -accompanied b State Superintendent Currens of the Presbyterian Sunday Schools from Omaha, visited our Sunday school last Sabbath. They both expressed themselves as being well pleased with the workings of the school and also with the large at tendance and the deep interest manifested by all who take part in the same. Mr. Currens is a very pleasant talker and interested the school for a short time with a short but well worded address. We hope that his visits to this place will be frequent in the future. Pat.

KEITH'S BLOCK, OPPOSITE THE UNION PACIFIC DEPOT AYER'S Cherry Pectoral SAVED HIS LIFE So says Mr. T. M. Reed, a highly respected Merchant of Mld dletown, III., of a Young Man who was supposed to be in Consumption. "One of mv customers, some vears ago, had a son who had all the symptoms of consumption. The usual medicines afforded him no relief, and he steadily failed until he was unable to leave his bed. His mother applied to me for some remedy and I recom mended Aver's Cherry Pectoral. The voting man took it according to directions, and soon began to improve until he became well and stroii"." T. M. Reed, ilid dletown, 111. "Some time ago, I caught a severe cold, mv throat and lungs were badlv inflamed, and I had a terrible cough. It was supposed that I was a victim of consump tion, and mv friends had little hope of recoverv. But I bought a bottle of Aver's Cherry Pectoral, took it, and was entirely cured. Xo doubt, it saved my life." I. Jones, Emerts Cove, Tenn.

Dr. McCabe, of North Platte, was called and gave very little encouragement as Jensen was bleeding inwardly, but by a lucky chance the bleeding stopped, and Chris is doing quite well though not yet able to get home. This was a very close call and only one man in a hundred would have pulled through, and Chris seemed to be that one, upon which point we con gratulate him. 15.

HY FRANK SOBREKA. The one who wrote the following stanzas was passionately fond of the stuff to which he refers. He w-ab also a souperior poet. He was not to blame for his appetite, for it was. no doubt, inherited. But he was guilty in the first degree of the annexed lines and should suffer accordingly- The Tribune prints them in order that an outraged pub lic may hunt him up and enforce the WE PAY CASH 100 CENTS ON THE DOLLAR AND SELL CHEAPER THAN ANY HOUSE IN THE CITY.

This is nothing unusual. 1 often go to church and it usually does me no harm. It is true a man takes his life in his hand, so to speak, when he enters a tabernacle in win ter weather, but it is one's duty to go. You sit by the open window and absorb the winter atmosphere that frolics around you and in wardly envy the congregation near the stove. Chilled by the icy breath, you ponder involuntary of a climate where heat is abundant and where even the most haughty blizzard would burn brown. There is nothing that develops more lux uriantly in the field of imagination than contrasting ideas. In sum mer you long for the bracing winter winds and as you sit by the window in the sanctuary and get the brac ing winds you have longed for fan tastic pictures of a hotter clime neutralize the effects of the sermon. Cold and comfortless you think sadly of the story of Sadrach. ATcr1i-i1i -1H-1 A 1 tori ti ( m r nrl oti v them in the delightful refuge furn ished by the fier' furnace. Janitors will have much to ans wer for in the Sweet Bye-and-Bye. It is easier for a needle to go through a camel's eye than it is for a janitor to stop an air-hole. The deadly determination of the average janitor to admit the sin tossed Blizzard into the society of church-going people may be the correct thing, but it is hard on the circulation. Yet if there is any way to bring about a radical change in the life of a Nebraska Blizzard, let it be done. The conversion of a Blizzard, utterly given to worldli ness. into a gentle disciple of at mospheric peace is a consummation devoutly to be wished. I am will ing to suffer the pangs of neuralgia that are now drilling me full of holes if by it I can bring one Bliz zard to repentance. I am not a bad man naturally and when a Blizzard smites me on one cheek I turn the other also. It is the best way to act under the provocation and gives the first cheek time to recover from the blow. It is not wise to strike a Blizzard, anyhow, and it is equal ly unwise to admit a full-grown one into a moral atmosphere. I am thoroughly convinced that the only way to do a Blizzard any good is to take him as a child when he of Nebraska.
