1 Now that Broady lias declined,
where will the democracy find a
candidate to tun aga:nst Judge
Post?
Free sdver and f ee trade are the
batde cries of the deinoc.acy. It
will be a .'.ee pass up Salt Creek
after the November election.
THE republican theory is, that
when the farmer pell his products
fur 1.00 he should be paid in money
worth HX) cents. The democratic
theory is that he should be paid in
a 73 cent dollar. Which do you
prefer to receive.
The republican party declares
that the Union soldiers should be
paid in a dollar worth 100 cents,
throughout the world, while the
democ acy claims that a 75 cent
dollar is good as he deserves
There is noth'ng at all surprising
in that, however.
Tl!E Banner, published at Athens
Oa., the official organ of the Al
liance of that state speaks hs fol
lows concerning the third party
movement in that state:"There is no
new south! Call it the south, if you
please.but not the new south. Not un
til the names of Lec and Jackson
11 nd of the immortal Jclf Davis
have faded Irotn the hearliof the
patriots. The political attitude i t
the south to-day is not unlike the
attitude she held when she called
upon her sons to sho-lder their
muskets and march fourth to bat
vrf Brrw.gr. Th -(did south
must not be broken.
Let us stand by the democracy.
IN a recent issueof the Journal,
after severely criticising theOmaha
WosJd-Herald for espousing the
cause as led by Edgerton, the editor
of that paper closes with the follow
ing words: "It is melancholy to
think of a man of bright prospects
like Mr. Hitchcock, throwing them
to the dogs." Notwithstandingthis
attack upon Mr. Hitchcock, the
Journal comes out in yesterday's
isHiie and makes a laborious and
long winded attrmpt to prove that
Kdgert'JU should be elert'-d. TlIK
Hkkai.I surmises that this dirdi of
cot! crow which the editor of the
Journal takes with apparent relish,
is, in a measure, repugnant to his
belter tast.-s, and why he has con
cluded to go over to the dogs also,
we are at a loss to account.
After making this remarkable flop
the ediior proceeds to take the
course always adopted by the van
quished, and charges Judge I'ost
with being a railroad man. This
Liniiiiliits to nothing in tin fact' of
the record which Judge I'ost has
made, and the unmistakable evi
dences of his meritorious services
in behalf of the people as evidenced
by Icx.Miiony of his neighbors of

Lace headdresses, or what were called
beads of lace, were very fashionable in
England in the reigns of Mary and
Anne, and the ladies of the court some
times paid very large sums for a tine
bead of French or FU-niihh hire, but tho
extravagance in this fragile article of
luxury was never carried to the same
ruinous extent as in France. It was,
however. proftiKcly worn during what
may Is) called the lnee epoch, and vas
even coveted as an article of adornment
after death.

THE OPPOHTUlttlY OF A
LIFE TIME.
Among other reasons why it is
better to invest in South I'ark than
elsewhere in the city, are these:
s
Property ie more saleable if you
wish to sell, more rentable if you
wish to rent; if looking for nn in
crease in value.no other part of the
city will compare with it in prospect
The 5th ward composed largely of
South I'ark, less'than three years
ago could hardly muster up a vote
at the last general election the vote
was l.'W and all were not polled. It
has been less than two years since
the city invited us into the corpor
ate limits, yet we haveoverone hun
dred newly built house- ond others
in process of construction, owned,
with few exceptions, by the parties
tiow living in them.
This part of the city has a store
water mums, electric arc iignts
church and school priveledgea and
,1 new cnurcii eonicr jusi nuu
of which the whole city is proud
I'lattsmouth's steady growth for
five years past almost doubling its
populasion; the advance stand it
hits taken regarding public im-
provements, the certainty of a new
fcsf VXO court house; the completion
of the great Missouri I'acific rail
way into this city, giving us anoth
er great trunk line and competing
market; the constant increasing
pay roll of the C. H. A J. shops, to
gether with many other well known
reasons, assure a steady and perma
nent advance in realty, which will
doubtless effect South I'ark more
favorably than any other portion of
I'l.ittainoiith.

It is not so much the speculator
as the permanent resident that we
wish to purchase this ilisirable
property. Out of over Eiohty pres
ent owners of South I'ark
properly none are speculators
bene e'l here an no fictitous values
and lots are selling at about the
price they were immediatly after
it was platted -a strong argument
why the present is a most desirable
time for investments. Much addi
tional information regarding South

I'ark may be had by calling at my
