The suggestion that an old settlers'
association bo formed In Lincoln coun
ty seems to have struck a responsive
chord, for already forty or more
have handod In their names and date
of settlement to Tho Tribune,
This association is not limited to
residents of North Platte, but to coun
try rosidonts aB well; all that Is neces
sary for membership is that you have
resided continuously in tho county
slnco January 1st, 1882.
Ono enthusiastic man who sent in
his name suggested1 that after the as
sociation is formed, that relics of pio
neer days bo solicited from raombors
and that these relics be kept In a per
manent building to bo orected in tho
city park. This is an excollont idea,
for as tho years pass theso relics would
become more quaint and. valuable.
Tho plan to hold an annual associa
tion picnic, to which tho families of
tho members aire to take part, is also
heartily endorsed, for it will bring to
gether tho old-timers in larger num
bers than ,In any other way, and Just
think of tho fun thoy will have re
calling tales and incidents of tho early
days.
There aro a number of old timers
down In Cottonwood, Peckham and
Gaslln precincts, also at Maxwell and
Brady, aiii sovernl nl other parts of
tho county. Wo want them all as mem
bers, so send in your namesl old
scouts.

ency to result In bettor sorvieo of
omployos to tho ustomor ns woll aa

taking department of Ginn, Whito &
