Mellor and J. W. Long were doing business at Central City last w eek. It is clamed Mellor took no chances this time, but hitched his socks to a bed post with a log chain. It does not pay to take chances with a Central City hotel. The creamery business of Loup City is undoubtedly of greater advantage touur people in a financial way than dreamed of.

Take your hat off to the i cow. Shelt m Clipper: George Fleebe, of St. Mich.th as a pulpit orator and as a wholesouled Christian gem Io nian. Rev. Madely left for conference at Iloldreage this state, Tuesday morn mng, where he goes to surrender his credentials as a Methodist minister, and will cast his fortunes with the Presbyterian denomination, for whom he will preach hereafter. Rev. Made ly has taken this step only after mature consideration and when one knows his reasons therefor,they cannot blame him in the least. He has been a Methodist minister for sixteen years, and one of the best pulpit orators and active work ers in the church, but having been raised under Presbyterian admonitions and with that belief inculcated in him from boyhood, he could never wean himself from its teachings, and is one of th; strong reasons for the contemplated change. Then again he has never felt satisfied with some of theforms of government of the Metho dist which is auother cogjnt reason for his change of base. The writer at this time desires to add to the feelings of his large number of personal friends a sorrow that he is not to be with us any longer, but honors him for doing as his conscience dictates. He has been pastor of the Methodist congregation here for the past four years, and we believe we are safe in saying that no man has made more or warmer friends during alike period than he,and with one and all wish him the utmost sue* cess w4erever he may cast his lines. 4 CHURCH DEDICATION.
