1 Hi- NoRlHWh-SlKRN PUBLISHED EVERY FRIDAY AT THE COUNTY H*AT. GKO. K. BKNSOHOTKR, Editor atirt Publisher TEBM8:—*1.00 pkh teak, ip paid in ADVANC1 Entered at the Loup City Postofflce for trans mission through the malls as second class matter. Editor \Vright of the Ansley, Cbronieai-Citizeu mourns the death of a beloved father who died at hi home Friday, December 4. We ex tend a hand of sympathy to brother W right. The Times said last week that pa pers which were run with four home print pages sometimes used plate matter. Yes, and we know of papers with only two home printed pages using plate. For instance the Times contained a half column of plate last week. The fedral grand jury is stil! grinding away and at last accounts had indicted over twenty cattle men for illegally fencing in government lands. Among the list was a F. M. Currie who was at first said to be Senator Currie of Custer coirnty, but Tuesday’s daily corrects the error by stating that the fellow indicted is a Frank M. Currie of Dawson county . Fremont is having trouble with a Kansas City pack pedler. It seems that ttie city lias an oidinance which says that whosoever engages in such an occupation within the cor porate limits must take out a license The Kansas City man did not do this but went to work without a li cense. As he absolutly refuses to take out a license the courts will settle the matter. Tlic house which he is working for has sent on a law yer to plead his ease. At a meeting of ilie National re publican committee held in Wash ington I). C. last Saturday Chicago Was chosen as the place for the hold ing of the National comvention. Pittsburg and S'. Louis were rivals of Chicago for the convention. Pitts burg offered $100,000, Chicago $7.5, 000 and a hall, and St. Louis $40, 000 and a hall. The vote stood 4‘J for Chicago, 7 for Pittsburg and 1 for Si. Louis. The committee held an open session which was largely attended by republican members of the house. The date for the con- ! vention was fixed for June 21st. London society women who have j been over to America spending part j of tiie winter are now returning' home, evidently in a fit of jealousy | and disgust. One of them said to a World correspondent. “The Amer-1 lean women are splendid. They are j beautiful, refined and well dressed, j We are madly jealous of them for so thoroughly defeating us at home, \ but we ll acknowledge their good . p lints nevertheless. “But the men of America—bah! It makes me ill to think that I associated with them as long as I did.” Another one of j these belles after complimenting! the women of America goes off in the following strain: “What do 1 think of the American men we met? Well, l thought they were vulgar, uneducated in ttie things of society, stoop shouldered, undersized and dwarfs in comparison with our stol wart Englishmen. They think if they have a million, they are as good as any one and society seems to think 80 too. \\ hat a pity those j English madams did not get farther; west. We could have introduced ; them to many rneu who feed them selvo on pork and beaus, corn cake I and the like and tip the scales at j 300 or better Men who only have a few hundred to say nothing of a million, who not only think them selves as good but are as good, in ! this land of the free and home of the brave, as the fellow with his inheirited millions and has to hire some one to take care of it. The trouble with so many mer chants is that they look on advertis ing as an expense while in reality it is an investment The money spent in judicious advertising will bring returns continually. If invested properly it i- never lost. The ad vertising appropriation should he | as large as the business will justify, i IJefore the end you will find that , the businiss will justify more.- ! Falls City journal. Simplifying The Farm In one of tlie eastern dailies there lias recently appeared the following advertisement purporting to l>c taken from the columns of a west ern journal: Farm help wanted. Wages will he $0 a day. Breakfast will he ser ved in bed. Working hours from 10 a.m. to 2 p. m. All heavy work to be done by the boss. Cig ars will l»e furnished free. Any hand working the entire season can have the farm. During the last two or three years it has not been difficult to find instnaees where the crop was insufficient to do more than simply pa ythe labor item. We have in mind one instance where the owner of a quarter section was not able to perform labor himself, and hired two men by the year, paying them $-'50 per month and which made an out lay for labor of practically $ l ,000 or something over $0. per acre. This same farm was carrying a mortgage of $5,000 at 0 per cent, t.lius making the cash outlay over $8. per acre. Thirty acres of this farm was in grass upon which twenty very ordinary scrub cattle pastured. The owner possibly re alized 84 per acre front this land, so that 4,000 dollars or there abouts must be raised from 140 acres in addition to the ordinary living and running expences. Owing to the high wages paid by the farmer it will tend to check the movements of the young men from country to city, thus increasing the available supply of those who are obliged to work on farms. Our advice to young men who have been raised on the farm, who are obliged to work for the other fellow for a time yet, is to stay by the farm. While you maybe able to get living wages in the city, yet all things consid ered, you will not have half the comforts that you will have on the farm, nor will you be able to ef fect the saving in cash that you will if you stay in the country lometimes the wages offered in the city seem very alluring, but when iving expenses are taken out there is seldom very little left. If you re main on the farm and axe frugal in vour habits it will only be a few years until you shall have financed yourself so that you can start as your own boss. If you g« to the city the chances are a hu adred to one that you will be slaving away for someone through the remainder of your natural life. Deliver us from the drugery of the city work man.—Iowa 1 lomestead. Chas. Taylor, the genial and ac commodating Clerk of Howard county, brother of E. G. Taylor of this city, is the father of a fine pair of twins. Under the caption of “A Pair of Queens.” the St. Paul Republican says: “Take two” wa« the terse mes sage left for all bis friends by Char ley Taylor as he deposited several boxes of fragrant Havanas on the show cases of local cigar stores Tuesday. The secret of this lavish generosity was not Mr. Taylor’s majority in the recent election, al though that was certainly large enough to keep him good-natured until the end of his second term; neither were the prompt and patri otic responses to his suggestion that everybody step up to the cap tain's desk and settle their personal taxes at the bottom of it all. The j mystery was solved only by the cx i planation that two handsome and healthy daughters had that <lay ar- '• rived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Taylor aud were to all appearances well pleased with their choice <d parents. The event was so satis factory in all its bearings tliat the county treasurer felt the necessity of assistance in celebrating it. Needless to say, everybody respond ed with a will and the twin heires ses to the Taylor fortune begin life with the kindest regards of every smoker in town. Films of Astonishing Thinness.
