Flint, who has been working for Drapers, and by the way one of the best harness and saddlery makers ever in Loup City, has accepted a position with the Des Moines, Iowa, Saddlery company, and left Tuesday morning for his new field of labor. We wish Mr. Flint the best of success. Owing to Editor Brown being elect ed to the legislature, which requires his absence three months at Lincoln, he has secured the services of Mr. Theo.

Frank some two weeks since sold his home near the Catholic church to August Szydzk, to give possession about the first of May, and bought the new property so as not to be homeless. C. J. Tracy now has his new cement business well in hand. His building is completed and he has over one hundred loads of sand on hand ready for business. Mr. Tracy has been rushed with work since the first moment when he began making cement blocks, and his orders have far ex ceeded his capacity for handling the work. But now with his better facilities he hopes to meet all demands upon him and proposes to put up a class of cement blocks that cannot be excelled anywhere. Mr. F. F. Foster has resigned his position with the Union Pacific and will start a new dray line here the first of the year. Mr. Foster has been railroading for over thirty years, but now thinks that has been long enough to entitle him to get out of that work and into something that will allow of his being at home all the time, hence will engage in the dray and transfer business here. His determination was accentuated by the frail health of Mrs. Foster, and his desire to be near and care for her at all times. Married, at the M. E. parsonage, Tuesday evening, Dec. 18, 1906, Rev. G. H. Wise officiating, Mr. Harvey O,Bryan, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. B. O’Bryan, to Miss Grace Benschoter, youngest daughter of Mr. and Mrs. O. Benschoter, all of this city. Harvey is at present employed as brakeman on the Union Pacific, between Grand Island ami North Platte. We under stand the young couple will make their home at Grand Island. The Northwestern wishes for this young couple a happy and prosperous jour ney through life. C. C. Cooper, our popular general merchant, has enjoyed an unusually big business the past year, and at present employs double the number of clerks he did a year since. On Saturdays, especially, his business place is a perfect beehive Of. industry from early morn till late at night, keeping five clerks, in addition to himself and Mrs. Cooper, constantly t in demand waiting on their ever in , creasing custom. So greatly has his trade increased that he has been com* pelled to put on a special delivery i wagon to handle the output of his store! C. C. Cooper has been a most liberal advertiser the past year, and his trade shows fy. The Coffee Club was entertained by Mrs. James McDonald last Saturday afternoon.

Miss Marie Strachan arrived Tues day evening from Fort Collins, Colo., for a visit over the holidays with the Misses Jessie and Cora Leininger. Pastor Wold of the Baptist church, with his family, leaves for his future field of labor the 29tli of this month, with home at Sioux Falls. D. Our good friend, Ben Nelson, the royal old-time sailor of Washington township, gave us a pleasant call on last Saturday, while in town on busi ness. Judge J. A. Angier returned Tues day night from the bedside of his brother at Beardstown, Ills. We un derstand his brother is still alive, but his recovery impossible. The Arcadia Champion speaks of a young man in that section of the country who husked 140 bushels of corn in seven hours and thirty-five minutes. Can't some of our husky huskers hustle ahead of that? The ladies of the Baptist church and aid society met at the residence of Mrs. Geo. Stork yesterday after noon and surprised Pastor and Mrs. Wold with a fine sectional bookcase on the eve of their departure for other fields of labor. We see by the Ravenna News that Frank Hedglin, the Boelus foot-racer, has a match on hand for next May with a runner named Donovan of Wisconsin, for a stake of $500 and the gate receipts. Just where the race will come off has not yet been decided. We understand the Germania Ver ein, a German club of this city, com posed of the best element of our Teutonic friends, passed a resolution at their last meeting, to be present ed to the village board by Jacob Albers as their spokesman, asking the board to relieve Marshal Benschoter of his sta'r, said resolution being the outcome of a most bitter feeling by the German element, arising from the unfortunate death of Gotlieb Laier on the 18th of last mdnth. A man at Kearney went home drunk Sunday and in a fit of rage struck his wife. He was duly arrest ed and after sobering up expressed regret for what he had done and plead guilty to the charge. He was fined $100, and at once proceeded to sue the saloon man who sold him the liquor. As a matter of fact we do not believe that any man gets so drunk as not to know what he is doing, unless he is so drunk that he can do nothing. Whiskey simply brings out the mean ness that is in a man. If he would strike his wife while drunk, he would feel like striking her when sober, though he might not do so.—Beatrice Sun. Poor African Land. Southwest Africa, which has been he scene of a disastrous and dilatory rar for nearly three years, is the only German colony favorable for European settlement, and this land Is so poorly supplied with water that an area of from 5,000 to 10,000 acres Is necessary ‘a keep alive the herds of even a small ranch. Canadian Governor’s Prize. The governor general of Canada, to show his interest in and encourage figure skating, has offered a handsome trophy to be competed for next season. The commission for the trophy has been given to a Canadian sculptor, Philippe Herbert, who has lately re turned from Paris. Good Season for Icebergs. There is something wrong np t.ound the north pole. Apparently t’s warmer up there this season than :or a long time, for never In the mem ory of sea captains has the North At lantic been spired with so many ice jergs. They have been chipping ofl 'rom the great polar ice fields like •rosting from a cake and have be ;ome such a menace to navigation ’.hat a half dozen steamship lines have ssued orders to the commanders of heir ships to change their courses to i more southerly one. This means ;hat most of the liners will hereafter abandon the short route followed dur ng the summer months. V/ho Wrote Mother Goose 7 Many people are under the impres sion that “Mother Goose’s” stories and nursery rhymes were written by some old housewife. This is a mistake. The real author wan a scholar of learning and renown, Charles Perrault, one of the first members of the French acad emy. He died In 1703, and though it te over two hundred years ago, hie tales still IIvsl May the fairies ever protect his MMl Davis Bankruptcy Case. The first meeting of the creditors in the Jason W. Davis estate bank ruptcy case was held on Monday and Tuesday of this week in the office of Attorney R. P. Starr, before the Hon. Bayard H. Paine of Grand Island, referee in bankruptcy. Attorney R. J. Nightingale represented the bank rupt, Jason W. Davis, while Attorneys Aaron Wall and R. P. Starr represent ed L. Hansen, a creditor, and Attor ney R. H. Mathew appeared for Mrs. Anna K. Davis, a creditor and wife of the bankrupt. R. H. Mathew was elected trustee of the estate, and as soon as he files his bond will take charge of the stock of merchandise at Rockville now in the hands of the sheriff. Claims of creditor were allowed and the question of the right of the bankrupt to $500 exemption was taken under advisement by the referee, with leave for both parties to file briefs.
