peef felly solicited .
We do not read anonymous letters and com
munication. The name ai.d addrers of the wri
ter are in all cases indispen? le. as a guaranty
of icood faith.
Happy New Year's to our patrons
and reader, one and all, and many re
turns of the brighteetholiday of the year
toallofvou.
Senator Hitchcock, ever alke to
the interests of tho he representsvahai
introduced a bill to amend the lawknawn
as the "Timber Act," extending the
time from one year to three years, and
making other improvements to the orig
inal law which will bring the thing with
in the possibilities of' a poor man. The
changes proposed ought to be made, and
doubtless will be.
On Saturday there will be a meeting
of the Board of Managers of the Webster
County Agricultural 8ociety. It is im
portant that every member of the Board
be present, as business of importance
wiN come before it. If wc are to have
and hold County Fair?, it fa hisih'v im
portant that suitable grounds be pro
cured before land increase in value to
mch an extent as to make it difficult if
not impassible to get a place for a Fair,
and take such other measures as are ne
cessary to put the Socioty upon a sub
stantial basis. It won't do to be behind
any county in the Valley in anything,
and if we are to have a Fair it roust be
the best one in Southwest Nebraska.
We have faith in the officer and mana
agcrs of the Society, and believe that
t they can and will make a success of
whatever they take in band.
