Complaints reach us, not 011I3'
from our subscribers In this county,
but from adjoining counties, that Tun
Aiu'KitTJSKK occasionally foils to
reach them. To all such we have but
one reply : the" papers are mailed reg
ularly to all our subscribers; the
printed address is pasted, cut, and put
upon each 'paper by one of Dick's
mailing machines, and there is hardly
a possibility of its making a mistake.
If you do nol receive your paper, the
fault is not ours.
Wo.call tho attention of bur read
ers to tho adveitlsement of "Fall
Goods?' at'McPherson's store, In this
city.- During the past week a very
largo stock of new goods was received,
and having occasion to examine their
tock of boqt and shoes, wo think
they excel in beauty and style any
goods of'tho kiml-yct brought to this
city ; and we endorse the language of
tho advertisement, that "they are
very htylislrnml the latest novelty in
to market." Ladies or gentlemen
wanting a pretty and fashionable shoe
bhould call at MoPherson's at ouce.
The Nebraska City JScivs of last
we.ek says.:
Dr. ,T. 5". Converse, tho gentlemanly
superintendent, of tho Nebraska It.
Co., was In the city this week, and
paiil out over $7,000 to our different
merchunts to whom tho road was in
debt. All the employes ou the road,
we also understand, were paid up In
full to tho 1st of August, 1S7G. 'Tis
generally considered, though not pos
itively known, that the B. &M. have
a certain amount of interest in the
road now, which, if such be tho case,
we feel aured that hacked by so pow
erful 11 company, and Dr. Convorso at
tho head of tho division of tho Ne
braska It. W. Co., we see no reason
why bucccss should uot be theirs.
On the outside of thi paper our
readers will find Horace Greeley's let
ter to Samuel J. Tilden, complete, in
which ho arreigns Mr. Tilden as being
at least the accomplice of ballot-box
pf uffrrs. As Mr. Greeley was the late
Democratic candidate for tho Presi
dency, it h fair to presume him to be
good authority the very best, in fact.
Those rho would not seriously con
sider the allegation-: of Mr. Greeley,
with all the facilities he had for
knowing sucli things better, per
haps, in his day, than any other man
and his indisputable reputation for
truth, candor, and fair play are office
seekers who want, "in," or political
tools and fools who do not want to
know the truth. They would rather
believe a Ho'.

Keep in mind that our Agricul
tural and Mechanical Fair will com
mence at the old fair grounds, at
Brownville, on the 20th of Septem

premium wheat, corn, vegetables,
wares, stock, etc.
During the past few days we
have noticed quite n number of immi
grant wagons pass through our city
going we6t. Nebraska is a good placo
to come to now, for her crops of corn,
wheat and vegetables are absolutely
enormous in vield.
The executive committee of our
County Board of Agriculture, having
in chargo the fixing up of the fair
grounds, will meet in this city Satur
day next for the purpose of letting
contracts for repairs on building, re
building stalls, etc. All seem deter
mined to have a good fair this fall.
non. O. P. Mason, in response to
an invitation to address the people of
this county at the Republican mass
meeting to be held In this city on the
23rd inst., says he cannot at thl time
promise to do so, and adds: "I regret
this the more as I have, and always
shall have, a very kindly feeling for
tho people of Nemaha.'' It is univer
versally hoped that tho Judge will so
arrange as to be with us on that occa
sion. Mr. Tom Richards of tho firm of
Richards & Smith, attended the ptow
ing match in Lafayette precinct last
Saturday. Ho informs us that the
display of people men women and
children present, was imposing, and
reminded him of a fourth of July cel
ebration. The people came well pre
pared with "grub," and an immense
table was set filled with plenty of
good things to eat for all. There was
agreat number of plows of different
patterns on hand and considerable
plowing done, and all good work, but
owing to a defect in the machine to
test the quantity of power necessary
to operate Ihe respective plows, it was
impossible to render a decision as to
tho best, and tho people left as they
came, no doubt, all having tho opin
ion that their plow was at leastt as
good as any.
On Saturday evening in company
with J. S. Stull. Esq.. of this City, we
attended a Hayes and Wheeler Club
meeting at Johnson, Washington pre
cinct. We tarried for tho niirht at
the residence of Mr. A. J. Wright, and
were most pleasantly entertained.
During our travels over the oountry
on Saturday and Sunday, through
Brownville, London, Douglas, Lafay
ette and Washington precincts, over
portions or" the couuty that wo had
notseeu for years, we were constantly
gratified at the improved condition
of the country in every direction,
and in our mind we involuntarily
contrasted tho present mairnificent
display of farm houses, and groves of
timber, scattered in harmonious reg
ularity far over tho prairies, with a
time wo well remember, when the.
monotony of tho virgin surface was
unbroken save by an occasional shan
ty of the squatter, few and far be
tween. Wo had a good opportunity to see
the splendid cornfields of the north
west part of the county, aud the pros
pect Is most cheering indeed. Dur
ing a residence of nineteen years in
southeastern Nebraska we-uever saw
this staple crop in better condition
nor nearly so much covering the sur
face of the earth aud we have seen
many a good oorn seasou too, and im
mense crops. Wo might digress here
and iudnlge in -surmlsinga as to what
will bo done with the3e townships of
corn, but we will only eutor a regret
that thero are not moro hogs and cat
tle in the couuty to' consume it.
We were much gratified when we
entered the Bplendid school house at
Jolufaou to iin4 so" large' aa auUlene
of ladies and gentlemen out to hear
our friend Stull Iecturo bn the politi
cal topics of tho time, and to see bo
much real interest taken in political
matters.
The people of Johnson are wide
awake tho Republicans have aHayes
and Wheeler club in earnest operation,
and the most hearty enthusiasm we
have seen during tho campaign we
witnessed at this club meeting.
Many short pertinent addresses were
made during the meeting, chiefly by
old Republicans, Independents, Liber
als, antt-monopolists, etc., and the
theme was "we can't go Tilden and
Hendricks," and the Democratic can
didates were denounced by these
reading, thinking farmers as "rebel
sympathizers," "railroad lawyers and
monopolists," and "bond specula
tors." Tilden and Hendrloks do not
stand remarkably well out at John
son a3 pure men and great reformers.
Tho executive committee will In
vite Judge J. S. Church to deliver the
next address before the club, which
will be on Saturday evening, 26th
inst., and he will bo thero of oourse
if possible. The Judgo is heart and
soul In the work the Republican
nominees, Hayes and Wheeler, are tho
kind of men that ho can most hearti
ly and conscientiously support, and
ho has the harness on. Tho people
of Johnson will hear an able and
convincing address from Judge
Church.

was considered that those of the

subscribing to the constitution and

Teachers' formal Institute.
The Normal Institute at Peru com
menced Tuesday, August loth. It is
hoped that many teachers will take
the advantage of the opportunity of
fered. The Institute at Hastings was very
well attended over eighty teachers
and county superintendents were
present to participate in the exercises.
The couuty superintendents showed
commendable zeal in urging the
teachers to attend, and they were suc
cessful In inducing many to attend.
The success of district institutes de
pends almost wholly on the interest
and energy of the county superinten
dents in working it up thoroughly.
Thus far no complaint can be laid
against any one for lack of zeal in tho
cause.
The entertainment at Peru will not
cost to exceed $2.75 per week, and
may be reduced by teachers bringing
their own bedding to $2.35 per week.
There is no point In the State where
teachers can receive better advantages
than at the Institute at Peru, as they
have access to, and free use of, the li
brary, cabinet and apparatus.
Teachers coming the first week, and
remaining through the institute, will
receive a certificate good iu any coun
ty in tho State, provided they pass u
satisfactory examination.

Hard Times Crop Trospect Xehras

Warsaw, Mo., Aug. 6, 1876.
Editor Nebraska, Advertiser:
During these universally stagnant
and depressed times it is but natural,
perhaps, that we all think that "with
Mfi" "in this place" times are harder
than anywhere else! While thero
may bo "variations," to use a slang
phrase, tho "good times" of which we
once all boasted, are not now to be
found anywhere! You think iu Ne
braska in Nemaha in Brownville
that times are duller, business more
stagnant, crops poorer, prices lower,
people more discouraged, and the gen
eral out-look darker, than anywhere
else! You don't know anything about
It! Go from home. Seeaud"rubup
against the world" outside for a time,
and you will find it to be a fact, that
twenty places and localities are worse
off to where you will find one better.
Nowhere in all the broad land are
such crops to be found as In Nebraska
this year! Take caro of them ! They
will all be needed elsewhere. During
the past three weeks I have traveled
through tho counties of Atchison,
Holt, Buchanan, Dekalb, Davies, Liv
ingston, Linn, Macon, Randolph,
Audrian, Boone, Gallaway, Cole,
Manitau, Morgan, Cooper, Pettis,
Johnson, Henry and Benton counties,
Missouri, and with the exception of
Atchison aud Holt, I havenotseon as
much good corn in all the trip, as can
be found in a single county in Ne
braska! The crops generally, with
the exception of gras3, are poor. I
write this, not disparagingly to other
portions of country, but to urge Ne
braska to tako caro of and save her
magnificent crop of this season.
There will be a demand for it.
Politics are warming up quite live
ly in this State. The thing is not all
one-sided by any means, as many
would suppose. There is a strong
greenback element in the Democratic
party, who will not swallow Tllden's
hard-money reform. Cooper organi
zations are being gotten up "all
around," and this fall's election will
show an astonishing falling off from
old democratio majorities. Tho old
Liberal, or Greeley faction, from the
Republican party, is nearly all for
Hayes and Whoeler back in the old
lines. Under all these circumstances
it will not bo safe to bet on Democrat
io majorities in Missouri this fall.
Vidi.
Frnit-Growersj Attention.
Maj. D. H. Wheeler, Plattsmouth,
Secretary of tho State Horticultural
Society, sends us the following :
The State Horticultural Society
have decided to make an exhibit of
the fruits of Nebraska at the Compet
itive Exhibition, of pomological pro
duots at tho Centennial Exposition,
commencing September 11th, 1876,
and havo selected as delegates to at
tend with Nebraska fruits, Messrs.
Ex-Gov. R. W. Furnas, of Brown
ville; Hon. J. Sterling Morton, of
Nebraska City ; Stephen B. Hobson,
of Mt. Pleasant, and Hiram Craig, of
Ft. Calhoun. It is the desire of the
Horticultural Society, that Fruits
from every county in the state should
bo collected for this exhibition. Col
lections should be made as early
as September 1st, and sent to
John Evans, Omaha : A. G. Hastings,
Liucolu; R. W. Furnas.Brownville ;
H. Craig, Fort Calhoun, D. H.
Wheeler, Plattsmouth, or J. W.
Moore, Nebraska City.
Tho fruit should be carefully pack
ed and named, and each apple, peach,
pear, plum, or bunch of grapes, wrap
ped In a paper, and then packed close
ly in a box or barrel, with a layer off
fine cut oat straw, making holes In
the boxes or barrels that tho air may
circulato freely through tho package.
It Is hoped that every man who has
auy fruit at all will make a contribu
tion of some of the best for this Exhi
bition. Our young State has, In three
successive exhibitions, been awarded
medals, for the fine exhibition, of
her fruit. At this one there will be
present as spectators and critics, the
representatives of nearly evorv nation
of the earth, and it therefore s'tands us
in hand to make this the best exhibit
we have ever made, and thus retain
our well-earned reputation of being
the premium fruit State of the United
States.

says wheal was only moderately ac
tive. Tb?English markets were dull
and easy, New York was dull and in
active, and Chicago receipts were very
light wit smaller shipments than
expected. There was only a moder
ate local Jemand. The new wheat
Is just beginning to come in, but has
not been through the sweat yet.
Nevertheless there is a disposition to
encouraga it, and 90c was bid for No.
2 spring lellvered the coming week.
Corn wra less active and easier, de
clining abut ic per bushel, chiefly as
a consequaice of large receipts. Liv
erpool wra unchanged, and New
York finr but quiet. The advices
from the torn belt indicate that the
prospects ire improving, and the peo
ple wbooie interested in having low
er pricessay that the corn crop of 1876
will bo tie largest ever kuown in spite
of wet in weeds. For this reason
they nrestill on the selling side, and
claim toexpect an additional depres
slon frcm higher freight rates next
month. No. 2 sold at 4545c, and
high nixed at 45o. Oats wery very
quiet at 10c for No. 2. Rye was in fair
demand and steady at recent ad
vance. The receipts were liberal, but
the ofTe'ings of No. 2 were soon taken
at 51c. No. 1 was nominal at5152c,
and rejicted at 43o. Barley was more
active md stronger early, closing qui
et and easier. The offerings of Sep
tember were larger, and early some
of the shorts seized the opportunity
to fill ii, but after the flury the mar
ket rulid quiet. September sold and
closed with sellers at 75c. Tho past
week's cattle market differed from
that ot the week before only in the
degree of dullness. The course of
prices ha3 continued downward, and
we have to note a further aggregate
decline of 2o3oo in poor to good
qualitiis, and of 1014o in choice to
extra. Even at the extreme low pri
ces at which the stock wbb pressed
upon the market, trade from the
openhg to the close of tho week was
stagnant lifeless. The dally receipts
largely exceeded the current demands
and tae supply In the yards steadily
augmsnted until Thursday, when tho
accumulations amounted to between
8,000 ud 10.000 head. This number
was .-educed somewhat during Friday
and Saturday, but enough common
andraedium cattle to meet the prob
ble vauts of the trade for several days
to ccme still lie in the yards awaiting
buyers. During the week there was
perbips a half-dozen sales at prices
above $4.90, about that number being
reported at $5.005.20 for extra grad
ed steers for the European markets,
but the prevailing figures were $3.75
4.50 for common to prime shipping
steers, $2.252.75 for Texaus, and
$2253.00 for nativo stockers. The
Hog market opend dull and drooping,
and remained in that condition to the
ead of the week. The supply was
not much in excess of tho recent av
erage, but neither the local nor east
ern trade seemed to requiro many
hogs, aud prices steadily eased off un
til the market has sustained a decline
of 3040o per 100 lbs, heavy grades
Buttering more severely than light.
Sales ranged from $5.75C.3o, closing
figures being. f6.906.25 for common
to prime heavy, and $6.1o(,6.30 for

Mrs. Empson has a nice flower gar
den in front of the house, a good veg
etable garden back, and tako !t ell to
gether, the old people are living Very
comfortable and cosy; and their house
is quite an improvement to London'.
Amos Bacon'g house, although
not yet completed, is Improving the
appearance of London.
Mrs. Smith, an old resident of
this place, and who has for a few years
past been living at Sterling with her
daughter, has been here on a visit for
a few months, and has been very sick
at the house of Amos Bacon, is some
better.
A daughter of Geo. Ashley,
while riding on horae-back, her horse
was frightened by soma boys, throw
ing her off and breaking her arm.
She was brought to Dr. McGrew's res
idence, where sho now is stopping
until her arm is healed. Boys who
frighten horses, endangering life and
limb of people, should have -some se
vere discipline administered to them.
Mrs. Dr. KJmberliu and daughter
are visiting at Rev. Blackburn's.
Summer, with Ha suqshlne and
showers, birds and flowers, dreamy
twilights, harvest-moons, and. all its
inspirational influences, is about over.
Has our communings with nature,
during this lovely season, drawn us
heavenward, and made us more like
the angels?
The financial condition, the pros
perity of this nation, considering tho
huge proportions of the difficulties to
encounter, exhibits a marvel of wise
statesmanship. Grant was the man
for the time.
.Men are so slow to learn that
every man has rights as well them
selves; and there never can be peace
until each man has his rights rights
given him by the author of his exist
ence, and not interfered with by bis
fellow man. Clamoring for peace at
the expense of liberty and justice will
only Increase the antagonism which
Is at work between liberty and tyrau
ny, truth and error, light and dark
ness. Remember, "The Prlnco of
Peace came not to bring peace, but a
sword." This apparent contradiction
is witnessed daily in the most mag
nanimous characters, the most gentle
natures, the most lovely and pure
lives, contending, struggling, fight
ing for truth and justice. Natural
greatness, as well as a lofty character,
is reached through warfare.

By request I send you the following
items from this portion of the county :
The most important and cheerful
item I call to mind is good health.
Wheat, rye aud barley well har
vested and stacked ; some threshing
done. Crops fair, and the seed healthy
and well filled. Oats poor on account
of rust and chinch bugs; somo fields
not cut at all. Corn and potatoes will
be a full crop. Very little old corn In
tho country; no broom corn, flax, or
buckwheat to amount to anything.
Fruit scarce.
We have a reasonable inorease
in hogs and cattle in this precinct.
Considerable new breaking done,
aud the people hopeful.
We have a good Sunday school.
Mr. Frank Wright lectures to the
Bible class, illustrating from maps of
Palestine and the Holy Land. Reli
gious eerViceS every Sabbath
We have alsd a singing class
who exercise In music every
Sabbath evening, with David Frazier
in charge. There Is some talent of
merit, and the little girls sing beauti
fully. A good spirit of sociability and
kindness is manifested by the young
folks. Some room for improvement
yet, however, but they are on the
righ t track.
I emigrated In April with my
family from Mount Pleasant, Iowa,
and find a pleasant, friendly, good
state of feeling among the people.
The Republicans completed the
organization of a Hayes and Wheeler
club Saturday evening the 12th inst.
I will give you the constitution :
We, the undersigned, hereby or
ganize ourselves into a society known
as the Johnson Hayes and Wheeler
Club ; our object being to advance the
cause and interest of the Republican
party In the principles of equelrights
and exact justice of and to all men.
We pledge ourselves to support with
our ballots the nominees of the Cin
cinnati Republican Convention, R.
B. Hayes and W. A. Wheeler, for the
offices of President and Vice Presi
dent of the United States. As, in our
opinion, the only security for reform
in every department of our govern
ment, we shall labor for a higher sys
tem of reform in our State, county
and school Interests.
The order of the meeting was then
taken up by the chair calling upon
several individuals to speak, which
was responded to spirited by each
person called upon. Mr. John Crls
ty made some pleasant, strong, decis
ive remarks, which were received
with applause, from' the audience. Mr.
Stull, of Brownville, being present
was called upon aud responded with
great force. Ills speech was a success
and received with great applause from
tho audieuce.

Harvest Ib over at last. Crops
are good and folks almost forget all
about politics and all other troubles.
D. B. Lake, G. W. C. Tt install

Considerable sibknesa among
children and several deaths have oc-
cured hereabouts.
So London does not want for
help-, yet "the help comes from such
low trash and scum that the good Is
all lost." London need never fear of
having help from any higher Intelli
gence. They are London's affinities.
I was about to Indulge In a wor,d
of praise about good oitizens in this
locality, but remembering that there
is one man in the neighborhood wl o
keeps a gun ready to uro in case a cer
tain neighbor steps on his land, and
another man who presents ashot-guh
and refuses to allow the constable to
subpoena him, so will say nothing ex
cept that both these men are going to
vote for Tilden ond Hendricks.
The Methodist quarterly meeting
at this place was well attended last
Saturday and Sunday.
The lawsuit between Day and
Snurr was decided in favor of the lat
ter. I learn that Day has taken an
appeal to the district court.
MIsb Alice Paris will resume
teaching at the Linden school house
in a few days.
H. O. Kearns broke his head(er)
last Saturday.
I learn that a certain man in this
county, who has often expressed his
faith in tho grange, and believed It
Would do away with tho abolition
party, and reinstate the good old De
mocracy, will not admit that the
grange to which he belongs has wink
ed out, but says it is only taking nl
rest through the heated term, and
will not meet again until after Tilden
is elected. DoubtlesB that rest will be
"long and sweet and when they meet
again It will likely be "over on the
other shoro."

Having a .few spare momenta I
thought I would drop you a few
items :
And now harvest is over, and
the musical threshing machine is
heard in the land. The yield of grain
is not so good as the prospect Indicat
ed a few days before harvest com
menced ; but thehu8bandman Bbould
be thankful that it Is no worse.
Corn is looking splendid, and af
ter tho. bountiful raina of late, bids
fair to make much fatness in the land.
That bourbon plagiarist that you
spoke of lust week is reported to be in
doubt as to how he will take his mess
of Tilden crow. Probably if it i3
fricassed he can pin back his ears and
go it-blind.
We see Peru is still progressing
Mr. Cooper has just finished a neat
and tasty residence.
Mr. Muts has built a new fence
around his premises.
Mr. Wiles is preparing to build a
stable.
S. S. Moody and his obliging
clerk are bifty supplying customers
with dry goods and groceries.
Esq. Smith still hammers Iron
and dispenses justice with ah Impar
tial hand.
Marshal Daily contemplates
moving baok to his farm. A good
farmer, neighbor and citizen a man
that is not ashamed to xun a harvest
er or follow a plow.

We saw some very fine early
peaches In market the other day, rais
ed by Mr. J. Stanley. By tho way,
what is the editor of The Advertis
er going to do for his peaches and
cream.
Reform Is now the Democratic
Shiboleth. When they were In pow
er did they ever aitempt any reform ?
let us see what they have done de
feated tho homestead law as long as
possible ; winked at polygamy , in
Utah ; murdered unoffending citizens
In Kansas ; Inaugurated and carried
on the late rebellion ; Backed orphan
asylums; starved Union prisoners;
murdered officers of the general gov
ernment; attempted to inaugurate re
bellion in loyal states; kindled incen
diary fires In some of our large cities ;
assaeslnated a President; hallooed for
Jeff Davis, and still continue to mur
der men for opinions sake. Talk
about reform. If tho Democratic par
ty will try to reform its ku-klux and
White leaguers in its party, they
would be entitled to the thanks of the
civilized world but for God's eako do
not ask us to vote tho Democratic
ticket until then.
