Official Paper of City and County.
We liad a call, from Thomas IM
Young, Western Agcu't for the Tole
do, Wabash and Western' 'Railway
this week!.' While -working in the
interest of tuat company, he la es
, pecially instructed to look over the
ground of theQ., M: & P. Railroad
Survey. .
" Judge A. W. Morgan,' on account of
.ithe press of business in his Court,
ent in his resignation as Director to
the Board of the Q.., 3tf. & P. Railroad
Company. The Directors at the late
., meeting accepted the resignation of
- Judge Morgan, and in compliance
' -with a petition of the Stockholders of
' eald company in Browuville, appoint
ed Jarvis S. Church of Browuville to
fill the vacancy. -
In Otoo county there is a running
fight between the District and County
Clerk: , The County Clerk claiming
.' to exercise the duties of both offices
and the District Clerk contests his
" right to exerciso duties of District
Court clerkship. The last Legislature
consolidated these two offices except-
ing Nemaha and Douglas counties,
and the clerk of Otoe declares the law
void as being unconstitutional.
There has been a very good looking,

erected in .North Star. e did not

learn by what society. This is a much
'..needed improvement in that village,
and speaks well for the intelligence
' and good morals of the place. When
' the Q., M.v & P. Railroad thall run its
cars to that point, it will create a stir
and bustle which will agreeably eur-
prise" the good people, arid perhaps
drive old Mrs. Scott .from her lair.

. publication of the Advertiser just two
- years with this number. ' We now
r wish, before entering upon tho third
to have a general settlement with all
. -pur patrons ; and before the new year,
1S70, we wish to balance up the books
" with every one, and take a new de
' .'jarture. We have been highly grati-
fied with the result of our labor for
the public good. ' We "Shall devote the
baJlance of this week in settling up.
Those having accounts against this
office will'p lease postthc.ni up for set
tlement. Spending a few moments in Phelps
City this week, we found that Messrs.
Lett & Cowles of Brownville, had
opened a large branch Drug House on
. Main street, where Lon Thurman, the
head clerk, was dispensing the pills
and filling prescriptions to an appre
" ciatl ve public. The Thompson Bros, are
. extending the length of their store
building, making it 120 feet in length.
George Harmon has nearly finished
'. one of the finest two-story brick stores
in the county. A neat, tasty and com
modious Union Church building is
about completed, and several very fine
residences are nearly finished. This
, town of b.ut one years growth is as
- Burning magnificent proportions, all
' owing to its railroad facilities and the
agricultural wealth surrounding it.
Gen. Prentiss and Col. King, of
Quincy. III., are speaking at various
points in Atchison cnunty upon the
subject of the Q., M. & P. Railroad,
and the proposed subscription of Atch-
:ison county thereto. They were at
INorth Star on last evening, and will
' be at Sonora on the evening of the
17th, and at the Lahue School House
on the evening of the ISth.
They held a rousing meeting at
.North Star. The Brownville Band
.enlivened the occasion with their
presence. R. V. Mulr was called to
the Chair, and David Flack made Sec
:retary, . Gen. Prentiss and Col. King
addressed the meeting with good suc
cess. At the close they prcposed a
resolution to ask of the County Court
an additional $500 towards the survey,
"and appointed a committee to wait up
on the Court to solicit thi3 further do
'nation. There wa not a person pres
ent opposed to voting the subscription
' of $150,000 to the road. ,
The Omaha Herald, followed by the
Brownville Democrat, has gone into
-winter quarters on Railroad matters.
"We are sorry to leain of their discour-
,'agenient. There is one course more
needful for them to pursue. Instead
of pounding away at random where
rood can ixwsib.y come of it. if

they would just inform themselves
more minutely of "what Railroad men
are doing ; of their plans, hopes and
prospects, and then work in harmony
With these several interests and enter-
'prises, they Would accomplish more
for themselves and others than they
are now doing. If they have not the
business tact and enterprise to do this,
the sooner they are in winter quarters
i the better. Men who have been suc
cessful in life ; men of large and va
ried financial experience ; of good
judgement and executive ability are
at the head of our railroad interests ;
and it is simply irritating to have
men who have not yet established any
jsound financial ;basls in their own af-
. -fairs, dictating a course of action for
men who have, by long experience,
learned to rcly.cn their own. judge
jnent. T'e, ourselves, have been im--patient
at times, but "we thought It
tta'part of prudence to look at the
inciter in the light of those whose
"business it was to build the roads ; to
look at their plan ; find out the vari
ous clj-oTU they were reaching after,
and the methods by which they pro
pose t accomplish the end they had
ia view. With the ligh t we have u p
cn the subject, we do not propose .to
o into winter quaiters by no 'means,
What we do propose, is to york to
. tom purpose; to work with those
who control the action of the company.
To publish the plan of operation
Would be to defeat tho measures they
lave in view ; and so if we do not in
form the public of all we kuow, of what
the several companies are doing, it is
beeauo wo have too great interest in
their success. - On our part, there will
be no let up uatll our roads are com
We attended the regular meeting of
the Q., M. & r. Railroad Company,
held in Quincy last week for the pur
pose of actuating for ourself and the
public what the company were doing,
and if possible, what they expected to
do. ; ;. .'
The survey is not yet completed.
There are two surveying corps in
the field at work. One commenced at
WestQuincy going west, and theoth
er at Brownville going east. The for
mer has run one hundred miles, and
the latter about eighty miles. They
are within sixty-five miles of each
other. At the present rate they will
complete the survey by the middle of
December, and finish up the office
work by the first of January.
, The right of way has been secured
on the eastern line.
The cost of the survey will be not
r & (.-,- s m
iar irom wu.wu. mere nas been as
sessments made upon the capital stock
to the amount of 1 per cent., besides
subscriptions of counties in Missouri
ana me cuy or quincy, wnicn are
sufficient to pay for the survey.
1 he company is not idle. It has its
plan of operation, and if successful,
the coming winter, as there is good
reason for expecting they will, it will
be in shape to put the entire line from
Quincy to Brownville under contract
in the spring.
We are satisfied that they mean
business. ' We are satisfied they are,
and will push the matter just so fast
as prudence and economy will warrant
men of sound judgment in doing.
If the counties through which the
road will pass do as well as some have j
and a3 well as there is hopes that they
may, the road is secured beyond a per-;
adventure.
All we now ask is the co-operation
of every man interested that they be
hopeful and let the company do the
work in their own way.
We have a letter of recent date from
a business man in Mendota, Illinois,
making inquiry as to the price of corn
in Nebraska, and if there is any for
sale. The same innuiry was made of
m
us in Quincy last week, and they were
much astonished to learn of the prob
able quantity and the present price.
The farmers of .this county know
that we do not think it good economy
to sell corn at any price : but if thev I
will sell, wo would advise them not
to do so at present prices. Corn must
be higher in the spring if not long be
fore. We consider it ruinous to sell
now for less than fifty cents a bushel.
Many a wagon load of the best corn
we ever saw, daily stands begging on
our streets for thirty cents a bushel.
Our most successful farmers feed their
com to cattle and hoes and market
them in St. . Louis or Chicago. In
this way they scarcely ever realize
less than one dollar for every bushel
of corn they raise. In this way they
put in their own pockets the large
profits of corn buyers who stand be
tween the producer and consumer.
The fewer of these the farmers support
the better for themselves and all con
cerned. A moments reflection ' and
good planning will pay in agricultural
pursuits as well as in any other cal
ling; and we know of none who so
much neeed what their labor is truly
worth as the farmer.
Gen. Prentiss and Col. King ad
dressed theCStizens of Brownville at
the Court House on j-esterday after
noon upon the subject of the Railroad
from Quincy to Brownville. The
meeting was a large and an enthusias
tic one, and resulted in largely inter
esting our people in that road. Gave
them new hone and fresh courace.
At the conclusion resolutions were
adopted pledging us to assist in can
vassing the county of Atchison, also
to secure from tho city of Brownville
a subscription of $20,000 to-Said road,
upon condition it be expended in
Atchison county. Col. Furnas acted
as President of the meeting. The fol
lowing were the resolutions proposed
at the largest meeting ever held in
Brownville, without a dissenting
voice :
Jlc8olvcd, That we will co-operate
with the friends of the Q., M. &. V.
Railroad in Atchison county, and
work to assist in carrying the vote for
the subscription to said road.
Ecsolocd, That O. B. Hewett, Dr.
McPherson, J. 8. Church, A. P. Cogs
well and Dr. Blackburn be appointed
to assist in canvassing Atchison coun
ty. . ' :; .
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
meeting that the city of Brownville
should subscribe $100,000 to the capital
stock of the Q., M. & P. Railroad, the
proceeds to be expended in grading,
tying and bridging in Atchison
county. .
We left Brownville on last Tuesday
evening at 6 o'clock P. M., took a
sleeping car and the next morning at
7 P. M. waked up in Quincy, having
traveled from rheTpsCity to to St. Joe
over the St. Joe'and O. B. Railroad,
and from St. Joe to Quincy over the
Hannabal and St. Joe Railroad.
During Wednesday we attended a
meeting of the Board of Directors of
the Q., M. & r. Railroad Company,
after which we took the cars in the
evening and the next morning found
us in Brownville, thus spending but
one day from home, and that in Quin
cy, the place of our business. For
such convenience the public are in
debted to the energy and good man
agement of Gen. Craig, the liberal
and accommodating President of the
two roads. This is considered the
cheapest, the safest and the most ex
peditious route to any part of the East,
and the amount of emigration and
travel pouring over this road this fall
to the West is truly wonderful.
Thomas Morton, the wheel horse of
the Nebraska-City 2Veu. has disposed
of his interest in that establishment
to Wm. M. Hicklan. Mr. Hicklan is
represented to be a man of enterprise,
energy and capital, and intends to is
sue a daily and weekly edition, for
which purpose he has ordered new
material throughout. As a Democrat
ic journal, the Xcw$ has taken the
lead of the others in this State, and
hereafter we are assured it will not be
a whit behind the ehiefest, tho Ad
vertiser not accepted. ' We shall . see
what we shall see
Sad Accident.
We learn that on Saturday, Nov,
6th, on Mr. Higgins' farm near Glen
Rock, Johnathan Farnum, while ad
justing the feed tape of a separator,
was caught by the coupling of the
tuinbling.rod, while the machine was
in full motion. . Bracing' himself
against the separator, he remained till
all his clothes were torn from his body
when the coupling hub, in every rev
olution bruised, mangled and tore his
person frightfully. Every possible
effort was made to stop the machine,
but it could not be done, till the body
received what we fear will prove a
mortal injury. .
Ilrldgc Bond Election.
e are pleased to learn that the
County Commissioners have heeded
our suggestions of yesterday and have
ordered an election the question of
issuing bonds to raise money to re
ouiiu me uriages wasnea away in
Otoe County. Of the result of such
electiou we have no fears, whether
the democratic organ and politicians
favor it or not, and we rejoice in the
prospect oi naving tne cr' for more
easy access to our market answered.
The business men of Nebraska Citv
have lost already by the loss of bridges
more money than will be required to
replace them ; and we have no fears
that the call of the Commissioners will
be responded by a favorable vote from
every one of them, and as ' Nebraska
City polls three-fourths of the vote of
the county and pays three-fifths of the
taxes, we feel confident the authority
to issue the bonds will be granted.

We had the pleasure of meeting
Hon. George Crow, of Nemaha coun
ty, who was in our city on business.
Mr. C. is a progressive farmer, and
feels interested in successful and prac
tical agriculture. He says that he has
his farm entirely enclosed with a fine
hedge fence, six feet high, and part of
the farm divided into fields, with
hedge fences. tWe ere glad to hear of
thi3, and hope many more will follow
the good example set by Mr. Crow,
Central Union Agriculturist.
