John Q. A. Smith, who is a good
farmer aiyl an enthusiast on agricul
tural matters, and by the way a mem
ber of the Board - of Agriculture,
thinks that a special premium of $10
should bs offered for the poorest grain
crop in the county. He would like
to see the man .who .would .comeibr
waiJthi8 year and claim the prem
ium. We thiuk that the ten dollars
would remain in tho society's treas
ury, for there would, be no competi
tors for the prize. We have not ask
a farmer with regard to his crop pros
pects but what has enthusiastically
responded "never saw such crops in
my life," "never had a better pros
pect." "ray .grain of all kinds looks
excellent,' -&c, &fe. Everybody
claims good crops, and we believe
mey are unusually exeelent for ifi
there is the least thing the matter
with a farmer's crop he fs very apt to
growl Lagpod'deal about it, and say a,
good deal about half crops, no- crop at
all, and the like. But then John you
might offer your' premium; it would,
be more easily to decide on the poor-1
estcrop than, on the best because the
contestants would be so few in rium
;ber.

THE END OF VOLUME EIGUTKESV
With this number the Advertiser
enters upon its nineteenth year. In
reflecting upon its history, it is grati
fying to think that notwithstanding
the vicissltucteaand hard times thro'
which it baswoaed during the near
ly two decades-df its life, it has never t
beensuspended, but always liad suf
ficient life and Vigor to get out once a
week to visit the homes of its read
ers, the confidence and esteem of
whom'it always enjoyed a full shdre,
hence its support was always sure.
We could with pride make special
reference to many things connected
with the past history of the Adver
tiser, but let it suilice for the present
to say that It was always found advo
cating the right aud doing battle fdr
such principles as would most pro
mote the happiness and prosperity of
the people generally ; and as an advo
cate of local enterprises it has ever oc
cupied advance grounds. What the
Advertiser has been in thse re
spects in tho past it will continue to
be in the future honestly and con
scientiously so.
As a family paper its present con
ductors will improve it as financial
ability will allow, aud make it de
serving of a place on the table of ev
ery good wife in the county. Before
the volume we now enter upon ex
pires, if we continue to be blessed
with the prosperity we now are, we
intend to impro-ve the appearance and
value of the ADverI'isek by enlarg
ing it aud printing it on new type.
In tho mean time let its friends give
it the best support they call that is
all we ask. It Is as the people de
termine with a country paper. They
can either mako it or break it. It is
to the credit of tho people of Nema
ha that the Advertiser has run
right along uninterruptedly for eigh
teen years, and we assure tiiem that
it never felt stronger and more like
living than it does at present. We
thank our patrons for this healthy
state of affairs with us, and renew our
promise to spare no labor to acquire
and retain the Hupport and good wili
of all.

Our old friend, I. N. White, of
''Phelps, Atchison county. Missouri,
called last baturday, aud from him
we learn that 1G1 car loads, ofstouk
and -forty-three carloads of grain were
Esent out from Pheliw durinc the
(month of May. Phdlns Is the best
f ailroad station on the KS'C. St. Joe

Thfc above we clip from the Gran
ger oi the l2th ult. When we read.it
we were forcibly impressed with the
idea that Brownville should share, to
some extent, in the credits given to
Phelps,- or that Brownvillo contribu
ted largely toward making Phelps the
"best rajlroad station on the K. C,
St Joe & C. B. B: B.. and we pro
ceeded to investigate the matter.
Capt.Baily, of the Transfer Compa
ny, had just what we wanted-so far
as the grain freights are concerned,
ami had the kindness to furnish us
with the following statement show
iag the number of car loads of grain
with the number of pounds sent from
Brownville to Phelps station each
month, from the first of last January

to June 22nd : ,

We are not prepared to com pare fig

for all the months, and we can only
call attention to the shipments for
May as given in the above item from
.the Granger. Forty-three, car rloads
were shipped from Phelps in May,
twenfy'jive of which were "hauled ov
er there from Brownville, leaving on
ly 18 car loads received at Phelp3
from all other points ; hence we con
clude that if Brownville had a rail
road to carry her grnitl away she
would be a much better shipping
point than Phelps or "any station on
the K. C, St. Joe & C. B. R. R. be
tween St. Joe and Council Bluffs.
Then' there is another important
consideration which is this Brown
ville does not get nearly so much
grain, stock and other freight to ship
as she -would had we a road' of our
own aiid not.be compelled to pay trib
ute to Phelps. -The trado at present
between- Tecumseh and Humboldt
and other'points on the A. dN. road
and Brownville is divided considera
bly more than half way in favor of
the former places to the injury of
Brownville. When the time come3,
which wo think is not faf distant,
that the grain buyers of Brownville
can load cars from their own store
houses and elevators, without cross
ing the river with it, the shipments
of grain, stock-aud all. productions of
the rich country- around us, will bo
immense in comparison to what we
now contribute towards" making
Phelps a good railroad station.-
In the matter of the shipment of
stock wecould not-got tho figures cor
rectly as different parties atiend to it
and keep separate memorandas, but
from what we can ascertain with re
gard to the facts we are of the opin
ion that moro than half of the stock
shipped from Phelps wouldbe put on
the cars at Brownville had we a rail
road .
We call tho attention of our read
ers, and the special attention of those
who propose, or have been proposing,
to build our Trunk road, to our fig
ures as above given in connection
with the-disadvantnges under which
we labor, aifd Mie Immense pay there
is for the owners of a Trunk road as
proposed, is very porceptible. And
while notioing this matter we will
further say what we know to be true,
that what is applicable to Brownville
is also applicable to- other towns in
thiscbunty on the lineof the propos-
ed Trunk road. Nemaha City, Peru,
Aspinwall rind St. Derofn, are all
nearly, if no.t'quite, as good points for
the'grain trade as is Brownville, or
will be when -the Trunk road gets in
to operation.
THE BEST FLOUR
The best flour that comes to this
ranrket is made at Allen's mill. Our
citizens who care about what kind of
bread they have, and are acquainted
with Allens Flour, made by
Shaffer, the best miller in tho westr
alwa3's are particular to observe that
the sack has Allen's brand on it. The
popularity of Allen's flour and Allen's-
mill Is chiefly attributable to
the fact that he will have no miller
about his premises that is not a first
CiTASS miller, that prides himself in
seeing that none but the best bread
stuffs go on the market, that is accom
modating also toall customers.
Allen's business is increasing so ranch
of late that he has beeri compelled to
hire another miller of superior quali
fications to .assist Shaffer, the most
popular miller of the Nemaha Valley,
rind whoso flower always -finds the
readiest sale, and is therefore "better
prepared than ever to accommodate
customers and do grinding promptly.

A county seat cannot be moved
unless two-thirds of the votes cast are
for some one. place, and if two-tbirUs
aroforany place, should it not be

that the vote milst be 'taken with a

Has-the prohibition party a ced

it will take the microscope of envy to
give them significance?
rTo those who are circulating pe
titions asking the commissioners to
order1 an election to remove the coun
ty seat we would say that tho time
for working is sliQrfc, and if we would
be successful in the effort we mustex
ert ourselves. The petitions must be"
presented to the board at the regular
meeting, which is July 7th.-
We understand that whllepeti
tions asking for an electiori on tho re
moval of county seat are being circu
lated for names, a.man who lives in' a
little, almost unheard of. place, ha3 a
petition that the Commissioners will
not grant an election. So he is afraid
to let the question come before the
people. Don't believe in the majori
ty ruling; fe u'n Willing that two
thirds of the people of the county
shall say where the county seat shall
be.- We are at a loss to know where
to class such a man politically.
