On Saturday evening last there
came near being a big fire in this city.
The roof around the stove pipe or flue
in the shop of Johnny Smith caught
fire. Being early In the evening the
fire was at once discovered and extin
guished with but little trouble or
damage. Had it broken out late at
night the north side of Main street
would in all probability now be in
ashes. This should be taken as a sig
nificant warning to every one to be hs
certain, as it is possible to be, that
their flues and fire ducts are safe.
Hope has been expressed to us, and
we join in it, that our city council
will, if they have not done so, em
plo3 a person competent to judge of
fire arrangements, to examine in de
tail every fire flue in the business
portions of the city, and instruct the
marshal to enforoe rigidly orders re
garding protection from conflagra
tions. Timely judicious measures en
forced to pre vent fires Is better protec
tion than all the fire companies and
fire machinery. "A stitch in time

We traveled down to Nemaha
City Christmas Eve, just to see how
the new railroad town "panned out."
We found it alive, and, nearly every
body kicking, for a big ball was going
on, &n& fifty-five numbers out. Hoov
er's Hall was orowded and consid
erably too much so to extract from it
a great quantity of fun, so it seemed
to us; but we are not as good on the
"extract" as we used to be, and doubt
less the boys and girlB will rule our
testimony out. After spending a very
brief time in the Hall and noting that
the music was good ; the dust kicked
up by the dancers execrable: the
seats deficient; that the crowd were
generally sober ; that everybody was
peaceable and jolly, that all the girls
were a "chawin' candy," that many
of the gentlemen wore their pant legs
in their boots, and didn't give a darn,
and that the occasion was a financial
success ; we took our leave and went
directly to the Hoover House where
we found the office and parlors bright,
cosy and as comfortable as could be.
But this is the way it is at all times,
and any hungry, travel-worn traveler
would at once pronounce it a paradise.
The accommodations are first-class,
cordial and home-like. On entering
the dining room our eyes were de
lighted with the banquet tables all
spread and the innumerable good
things about ready for sacrifice to the
hungry dancers. About eleven they
came, and of course, did ample justice
to the supper they were all healthy
and ate heartily but there was plen
ty and to spare. After partaking of a
ferw delioaoies, such as bread and bat
ter, meats, turkey, candies, cake,
berries, nuts, coffee, pie, fruits and bo
forth, we retired to bed to dream of
terrifying R. R. collisions how could
we be supposed to dream of anything
else In a railrqad city where the con
tinuous screams of engines disturb
one's slumbers while the dancers
danced till the Christmas dawn.

The citizens of Fairview and vicin
ity concluded to have an old fashion
ed Santa Clans Christmas Tree on
Christmas evening. Accordingly
committees were appointed and they
went to work with a will and deter
mination to succeed, which they cer
tainly did.
Mr. Geo. Crnts- fcrnjshed the tree
from his orchard, a "beautiful apple,"
which was duly trimmed by the fair
youngladles of the vicinity, and the
presents were tastefully arranged so
as to have the appearance of a rain
deer loaded with toys and gifts. A
hasty glance through the groaning
tree (as it was literally full and many
parcels left on the table) showed that
considerable money and time had
been spent In purchasing and manu
facturing the articles thereon.
The exercises commenced by a song,
"Thoughts of Childhood," followed
by Prayer by Rev. H. Presson, after
which, and while he was speaking of
the occasion, Old Santa came out
from his hiding place, and mounting
his stand, proceeded to handout the
contents of the tree to whoever they
belonged to. Among the more valu
able we will only mention a few:
Miss CoraMcIninch received a fine
gold ring- and set of furs, Miss Anna
Blount eet furs, Miss Maud Minick set
furs, Wra. Dovil suit clothes, Mrs. E.
Allen Bet silver flower vases, Mrs. S.
Bryant large family bible, Jas. Kite
a very handsome guilt edged bible
presented by Security Lodge, S. W.
Kennedy tobacco set, Mrs. Mollle
Culwelllarga shawl, Mre. E. Bryant
bolt calico, Owen Monteith scarf and
mitts, Joel Culwell overshoes, D. W.
Pierson roll fence wire, and many
other valuable gifts, but time and
space will cot permit their mention.
Rev. Pressm received a handsome
box full of good things for the inner
man, viz: Dressed turkey, prairie
chicken, jars of peache3, cherries and
jellies.
After thetree was unloaded and the
song "Good Night" sung, the exer
cises closed". It was fully an hour be-
fore the audience left, as all seemed to

Budness continues good notwith

that piople have mostly adopted the
sensible plan of paying as they go.

We have no quarrel with the
Granger nan and no desire for such a
thing, but we believe that he should
make a little explanation of recent
editorials. A short time ago he de
manded ar the legislature a law that
would mike county warrants worth
their face; that when any person
held a warrant against the county for
one dollar, they could go to the treas
urer and get one hundred cents for it.
In a later Issue of the Granger he
sneeringly alluded to the efforts made
by the proper authorities to collect
the delinquent taxes, as an effort to
get their fees. Now if that sage can
in his wisdom devise any means by
legislative act, or otherwise, that will
make county warrants worth their
face in lawful money, without close
collection of taxes, he shall be our
Moses. Do

We were not one of the bappy
throng that gathered around the beau
tiful tree whose fruits were plucked
Christmas Eve, but we report what
we have heard time and again from
those were present, that the Christ
mas tree in Sheridan was a grand suc
cess. The bight of the tree, at a
rough estimate, was four and four and
twenty cubits and the distance around
was equal to three times the diameter
thereof. The committee demonstrated
their ability to make the evening a
pleasant one to the children especial
ly, and the older people seemed wil
ling to be classed with the children,
and seemed to enjoy the presents and
the fun as much as though the shady
side of life was yet in the dim dis
tance. A fund was raised for the
needy, if any such should be found,
and one family, every member of
which has been sick for weeks, was
made the recipient of a large number
of useful articles.

will be delivered Tuesday night, Jan.

course of leotures were not gotten up
for the benefit of the M. E. Church,
and is not a mercenary step, as some
have stated. The members of the Ly
ceum and R. R. Club decided to have
a course of lectures for the intellect
ual and moral benefit of the commu
nity, and as the church was to be the
place of meeting, the net proceeds
were voted to the trustees of that
churoh.
