Owing to the big half-page bargain adv. of the Loup City Mercantile Co. the eighth page of this paper is this week printed at home.

The last day of March withessed the prettiest little snow fall of the winter, large flakes of the fleecy fall ing softly, without a breath of air to j carry them out of their straight | downward course.

It is a very chilly week when news papers are not asked to suppress more or less sensational news, whien on the w hole are better not published as reflecting unfavorably on the par ticipants. This week is no exception with the Loup City papers, but it is hardly necessary to request reliable new spapers to omit mention of such, as their publication would only tend to make more public, create a desire for distasteful facts and do greater harm than good. The Northwestern does not need hush talk along thesi jines. It prefers to build up rather than tear down.

Curry, west of town, who with his fair bride, have the best wishes of their host of friends for a happy and prosperous journey through life. Characteristic Letter From W. H. Kennedy Jn remitting to the Northwestern a little collatteral from his home at Marengo. Ohio, our good old friend, Bill Kennedy hands us the following fine vase of violets: “I can not afford to give up the Northwester: it reaches me regularly every Monda.. afternoon and when I read it, it almost makes me homesick to see Loup City once again. I see you are following out the scriptural teaching, “Multiply and replenish the earth.” 1 heard of a fellow once who being asked how many children he had, replied, “That he was naming them after the New England States. He had Maine, New Hampshire, Ver mont, Rhode Island, Massachusetts and a flattering prospect of Con necticut.” But you have not quite reached that point: you are drifting that way. Please tender kindest re gards to all the Loup City friends and Mrs. Kennedy joins me in warm est regards to yourself and family. Respectfully, W. H. Kennedy.
