' A home talent dramatic company at Stuttgart, Ark., presented the cele brated Irish historical drama, “Robert Emmett," last week with W. D. Mathews in the title role. The local papers there give Doc. great credit for his rendition of Emmett, and say that he evidently missed his vocation, as he should be an actor. Doc. will probably throw his job press in the back yard, burn his pre scription case, and organize a dramatic company. If he should decide to star it we hope that he will not neglect to visit O’Neill and allow some of his profes sional companions, Odie Biglin and Sam Sample et al, to witness his performance.

A boun tiful supper was served at the Evans Hotel that was a credit to Mr. Evans, who, by the way, is noted for serving good suppers. Taken as a whole, the dance will linger as a pleasant memory in the minds of those participating, while the wish will grow stronger that the boys will entertain again soon.

Atkinson and Stuart are baring their regular semi-annual scrap. The ques tion this time is not county division, but a question as to which town is going to secure the most of the Boyd county trade. The bridge across the Niobrara river at Grand Bapids is not in good shape, and the residents of western Holt want the bridge repaired. The board about ten days ago appointed a com mittee, consisting of Mom and Hopkins to look at the bridge and see what could be done with it. The committee reported Tuesday and recommended that the bridge be moved three miles west of its present location. The report Was not accepted. A delegation was down from Stuart who desired to have the bridge moved west so as to bring it three miles nearer Stuart. A delegation was down from Atkinson and they wanted the bridge moved east abouthalf a mile, where it waa claimed the river wab narrower, and a better road could be had to the table land, but would be satisfied to leave it where it is. The board postponed action on the matter and a committee was appoint ed to yiew the bridge and the proposed locations. The board will also adver tise for bids for repairing the bridge in its present location, and also for its removal and erection on the proposed cite three miles west. A tender-hearted writer In an ex change gets off the following: “When the women all wear bloomers and their skirts are laid away, when their legs are no more rumors, coyly bid from light of day, when their petticoat’e for gotten, with its swishing whisking swirl, and there is less demand for cot ton, I’ll be sorry for the girls. I’ll be sorry for the Ismcs who at school are at their books—at the foot or head of classes—I’ll be sorry for their looks; for their ma’s will make their trousers, and, good heavens! don’t we know who were boys, but are not now, sir, that they’ll make a holy show! It is bad enough when Willie weareth pants his mother made, and it often knocks you silly Just to see the youtnful blade wearing pants that no man knoweth which is front or which is back—if he cometh or he goeth there is quite an equal ‘slack,’ But your Susie! O, ’tis galling, scalding tears will downward glance when yon hear the urchins calling, ’Say, where did you get those pants?’ You will see her youthful glowing, but by no dead cer tain rule can you tell if she is going or is coming home from school. There’ll be trouble, you’ll allow, sirs, there’ll be anguish for the pa’s when the daughters all wear trousers that are just revamped from ma’s. I am weeping as I write | this, and my tears fall like pearls till I scarce can see what I’m inditing for the poor betrousered girls.’’ We guarrantee this to be the bat Cough Syrup manufactured in the whole wide world.
