Mis* Nettie Conger's department is the only one doing business at the old stand this week, the reason there for being in the fact that her little >nes have a room down town and not in the big school house that had to keep closed on account of absence of warmth.

This farm consisting of 320 acres was pur-1 chased by Mr. Taylor some live years ■ ago lor ♦•‘.o0o.uo and the price he now receives is an indication of the in crease in land values hereabouts. A pretty good investment for Mr. Tay lor. when he purchased that farm year- ago. as it lias paid him a good ! income every year since, and now he clears up a nice sum of money above tiie original purchase price —St. Paul! Phon og ra ph-P ress. Rev Burleigh stated recently to the writer that with a wedding con summated last Friday evening lie had reached the even score of marital ties lie had performed in this com munity in the last few years, anu seem- to take pleasure in that sort of ministerial work. He also stated that after reviewing the record of divorces granted at the last term of our dis trict court, he was led to notice that so far as lie has knowledge, that out of over two hundred couples he had married, less than 2 per cent had been found in the divorce courts, and he was wondering if. investigation being made, it would net be found that by far the largest per cent of divorce seeking came from couples that had passed by the sacramental nature of the tie and became content with it as a civil contract before some official layman. A note made in the divorce courts on this point might lie of possible service in the study of the increasing evil tendency of onr divorce system.—Ilemingford Neb Journal.

Christmas Eve. when we receiv ed a beautiful scarlet and white quilt, the gift of a number of Loup City friends whose names are worked on it.

Ha and Mbs. J. Jambs. Owing to the heating plant being out of commission at the high school building, there has not, nor will there he any school this week.

A parly of Loup City young people | to the number of about fifty were the ] guests of Misses Eiva Zimmerman and Ella Taylor last Saturday even ing. at the hosnitable A. L.

We hear it rumored that many friends of the professor over the county are urging him to be a candidate before this year’s primaries for the office of , county superintendent of schools. A query to that effect received neither denial nor'afllrmation from him. The professor is one of the most promi nent educators in our countv. and while differing with him on political questions, we are willing to acknow ledge that, politics aside, lie would prove a very formidable adversary, should he decide to get into the j tunning for that most important, county office.
