The Joiknal clubs with all the lead ing papers and periodicals published and will save its readers money if they will order through this office. If you have friends in the east who want to know about this county order a copy of The Journal sent to them. It will prove a good investment. Superintendent Southworth informs us tliat while at Lincoln recently he ob tained a promise from State Superintend ent Ooudy to be present at the next teacher's institute of Sioux county. This will be good news to the teachers and all interested iu school work. I Ajorrespondent fron? Lower Run. NiafWater precinct informs us that a party of friends and neighbors of Com missioner J. A. Green gathered at his home on the 8th inst. to help him cele brate his 51st birthday. A pleasant time and a good dinner was enjoyed by those present Tbe January state apportionment of school funds for Sioux county is 485.46. The notice has been received by the county treasurer and the amount will be received in a few days, when it will be divided up among the various school dis tricts of the county according to the number of pupils therein reported to the county superintendent. We desire to know what is going to be done in the way of crops the coming season, and to this end we shall take it as a favor if the farmers will tell us what acreage of crop they intend to put out as soon as they have their plans made. The indications from what we have heard so far are that a greatly in creased acreage over last year will be seeded the coming season and we desire to get the most reliable information possible. Saturday and Sunday snow fell to the depth of About five inches. No wind accompanied the snow and it lay evenly distributed over the ground. The weather got pretty cold, the mercury toing down to 21) degrees below zero Sunday night and it has been pretty stiff winter weather ever since. Such weather helps to get the land in good condition and the result will be seen next season when Sioux county shows up the biggest crop ever raised in northwest Nebraska. The editor of The Journal expects to start the first of the week for the east ern part of the state to attend the meet ing of the state press association and to purchase pew type, printing material and paper stock, and will be absent about two weeks. In our absence P. H. Brink- erhoff, the foreman of The Journal office, is authorized to receive and re ceipt for money and attend to the wants of all customers, and he is capable of satisfying all. An effort is being made to organize a trotting curcuit composed of the towns of Valentine, Gordon, Rushville, Hay Springs, Chadron, Crawford, Harrison, Hemingford and Alliance, and a meeting has been called at Chadron on Thursday, January 27, 1892, and it is desired that all who can attend should do so. This is a matter of importance in connection with the agricultural society and the management should see that the society is represented. It is also an indication that a good track at Harrison should be made. The remark is frequently heard that a oulvert or small bridge is needed on some of the roads. It would be welljor the road overseers and those interested to look up the advisability of filling in with earth. It is a well established rule of railroads and all companies who have much grading to do to make earth fills wherever at all practicable. In a coun try like this the filling serves a double purpose. It makes a crossing as good or better than a bridge and it also makes a dam to bold the water and the washings from above and the result will be that in a few years a number of acres of land will be leveled up in good shape, whereas if a bridge had been put in it would never be good for cultivation on account of the steep banks. A bridge also has to be repaired and renewed while a good strong Oil is a permanent arrangement Call for Sugar Beet Convention.
