A newspaper may lmom a town through its editorial and news col umns. but a critical observer looks at the advertising columns for substan tial evidence of push and life. To him they are thermometers register ing the intensity of public warmth: they are the puise which indicates the healthy condition of the healthy body of tlie people: they tell him whether or not the community is up to the times in business matters.- Ex. E. Brewer, in remitting from Salt Lake for another year and up to .Ian. 1, ltton, for the North western. I wishes his name classed among the subscribers who have l»een readers of the Northwestern since its birth Ail right. Father Brewer, your name has been placed on the honorary roll, i Who will be the next to add his name i to that list, it is growing, and when : we publish the names we want every one who has taken the paper from the date of its first issue to the present represented. ; Added interest was taken in the usual musical program at the Presby terian church last Sunday by the addition of another quartet to the old quartet, which is expected to be a permanent feature in the church services hereafter.

Come next Sunday and hear the music and see if it has not taken on more and sweeter tone. Mr. X. P.

The editor's son. Frank W. Bur leigh. w ho for the past three years i has been stationed at Fortress ! Monroe.

Owens desires to i call attention to the practice of some i patrons of rural delivery of placing i loose coins in their boxes each time : they desire to dispatch letters instead | of supplying themselves with postage 1 in advance of their needs. This practice imposes undue hardship on rural carriers in removing loose coins j from boxes and delajs them on the | service of their routes. The post 1 master, therefore, urgently requests j that patrons of rural delivery provide j themselves and keep on hand a supply i of stamps consistent with and in ad j vance of their needs. It is also very desirable that rural patrons place in i their mailboxes detachable cups of i wood or tin in which to place coins. ! when necessary, in purchasing sup plies of stamps. We print several notices this week j complimentary of Mrs. B. P. McKin | nie's great success in the musical world in the past, as Miss Tekla Farm, previous to her marriage to Mr. McKinnie. We also present a picture of Mrs. McKinnie. taken while in active musical life. The recital to be given by Mr. and Mrs. McKinnie next week Friday evening is sure to he the greatest musical event ever occurring in Loup City, and judging by thesuc j cessfu! sale of tickets so far. the 1 Presbyterian church will l>e filled to its utmost capacity to hear these talented musicians. Our people hav ing heard them in solo and duet work in the churches of our city and at various social functions of late know they will be given a rare musical treat. They will he assisted by Mrs. R. P. Starr.' Get your tickets early at C'onhiser's. The Northwestern will publish the program next week. i I Cure Nerve-Vital Debility. Weak ness. Drains. Rupture. Stricture. Varicocele. Blood Poison.
