Hie recently expressed opinion of Attorney-General Dilworth leaves no room for doubt that there will have to be a full boaid of county commissioners elect ed in each county in tho state this fall. Mr. J. Noyce, Mr. M. H. Strohm, Mr. G. M. Havice, Mr. Geo. A. Brown, of Red Cloud, Mr. Cook, of Thomasville and Mr. John Meyer, of Riverton, are among our list of new subscribers the last week. There will be a Sunday school picnic held in the grovo near tho Elm Creek Mills, on Thursday the 17th of Septem ber. AH who are intcrosted in the sab bath schooHwork aro requested to be in attendance. The entertainment at the Court Ilouse Thursday evening, was attended by some of our be.Rt citizens, and was a credit to its leader, Miis Towne, who is a lady of rare musical ability and ought to receive the support and encouragement of this community. A couple or grangers from Kansas came lo town laht Monday with wheat whioh they told, and forthwith proceeded to invest the proceeds in "fire water," which they imbibed until their courage Tf8 sufficiently elevated to engage in a fight. Unfortunately neither one was killed. We are informed that we -were mis taken somewhat in our statements last week in regard to the cause of Mr. Real's insanity. It was not, we are told, in duced by an over indulgence in strong drink, but was the result of a shattered constitution brought about by exposure and:hardsbips while in the army. We dropped into the Btore of Miner Bros, this week, and must confess were somewhat surprised to see the piles and stacks of new goods of every kind they have jukt received and which they have filled their large store room almost to overflowing. Tbey enjoy an immense trade and givo entire satisfaction. Mr. John Miller, who has been for a number of months connected-with the Valley House in the capacity of cook', has taken his departure to Kirwin, Kansas, 1'rom which place he writes us, desiring that the Chief shall follow him, a he wbhes to keep himself posted in the go ing6 on at red Cloud. John is a good boy, and proficient in his chores calling and we hope his lines may be oast in pleasant places. ''The boy stood oa the backyard fence, whence all but him had fled, the flames that lit his father's barn, shone just above the shed. One bunch of crackers in his hand, two others in his bat, with piteous accents loud he cried.. (I never thought of that!' A bunch of crackers to the tail of one small dog he tied; the dog in anguish sought the barn, and mid its ruins died, Tbe sparks flew wide and red and hot. they lit upon that brat; lbo fired the ci ackers in bis hand, and eke those in his hat. Then camo a burst of rattling sound the boy! where was he gone Ti Ask the winds that far around atrewed&its of meat and bone, and scraps ofclothnnfd balls and tops and nails and heskfi and yarn, as relias af tke drtadfci- bos: ibat burned his father's turn."" A few wordi in regard to the warfare that has been going oa between the Cniir and Argus, and we will drop it. Nothing is more distasteful to us than a controversy with a publisher, bat in this case it has been forced upon us contrary to our wishes, and we have reluctantly amistrd to carry it on. There u no friend hip between Mr. Kenney andoareelf, he has never treated us with common cour tesy, much less friesdabip, and now, without wasting farther space, we will only say that if Mr. Keenney feels ag grieved at any this, we have said about him and desires satisfaction for real or fancied wrongs or insults, we will accord to bhn the privilege of obtaining fall and complete satisfaction in any manner and at any time and place that may be agree able to him, and we hope that be has sufficient regard for the wUbea of bis few readers, to either bring matters to a "focua" or hereafter, to far :is we are concerned, eternally hold his peaoe.

Chief: Things is these parts begin to look a little dry, as we have not had any rain to amount to anything for two weeks, but most all crops are out of the way of any drought, and we feel pretty thankful for a good corn crop, al though late corn hat been cut a little by dry weather and will not be so good as early corn. My early "little giant" yel low corn has been ripe for a week, and i from two to three weeks earlier than any field corn I know of. I hhall take a load to market to-day. Haying has commerced and farmers are very busy puttinc up hay, but Cue windy weather lo'h'rs us some. The potato crop ill be light, and late garden vegetables will Le scarce this fall. We arc about all through with fall plowing The wheat crop was not very good and the talk is now that not mueh spring wheat will be sown next spring on ac count of chintx bugs. Penny Creek Sabbath school will have a picnic on September 11th. All Sunday school workers are invited. D. S. Helter. Inavale, August 25. 1S79. Ed. Chief: Ah a resident of Inavale, the banner precinct of the county, we beg the occupancy of a corner of your valuable paper for the purpose of airing our gossiping talents concerning these parts. Farmers are very busy just now plow ing, putting up hay, threvhiug, ic, plowing being being somewhat retarded by-the drought which to a certain extent is also injuring the corn. There has been a change in the affairs of the U. B. church at this (Mt. Hope) place. The Rev. E. A. Noble assuming the pastoral duties in the place of Rev. J. G. Martin, who with the well wihcs of aur people goes to the Niobrara Mis sion, Mr. and Mrs. Calton met with a pad loss yesterday. Their youagest child'be ing takes away by. that fell-destroyer, cholera infantum. We begin to realize that we arc on the verge of another oolitical campaign, and candidates will do well to remember that any underhanded schemes to gain politi cal preference, will be promptly-met with' disfavor, for we are kweply awake to our personal interest as well as those of'tht county at large. Hoping to be a little more entertaining in the future, il e. if- this be fortunate eaoagk to aawape thiwate feskcr, I subscribe myself yours anciently, rrTHAGOSSA A couple of the fair kx had a little Mt to up on Farmers Creek last Sunday night, we arc informed.

Etq., Editor Red Cloud Chief, Dear Sir: In aotwer to the solicitation of many friends of Web oter county to become a candidate for county clerk, I would reply that I most respectfully decline to become a candidate for any county office at this fall's election. Yours respectfully, John P. Bayha. Enough has alreidy been said to con vince the most prejudiced mind, that the only place to buy harness is at A. J. Rennccker's chop.

Lt. The Sidney l'laindcaler advocates a mounted police to patrol the north part of the stato until all tho outlaws are driven from our borders A band of polico would need a very efficient chief to outwit the orgatiixcd bandits of the border. Another straw which shows which way the windblown, is the following authentic information in regard to Kailroad bu-inc at this point. Duriun the nl week one thouKund five hundred and twenty-three cars, all loaded, have passed through this city over the B. & M. Railroad. Of this number mjvcii hundred and forty three earn loaded with wheat from the western partof the State, have passed through tho city on their way to Chic t go. Who says we can't rainc v, heat in Nebraska, ami that the B Sc M. is not doing a land office business? In round numbcis this makes just three hundred and thirty four thousand and thrci hundred and fifty buihels of wheat that have passed over the B. Si M. cince last Monday morning. This vas' amount of wheit ti cured at six ty cents per bushel, ha realized: for the farmers of this portion of Nebraska the sum of $207,327 50 Lincoln Journal Our Washington Letter. Washington. D C, August 27, 1879 J The political murder last reported from Mississippi has about it circumstances calculated in some degree lo soften the regret which would otherwise be felt at such an event Tho chief of these cir cumstances is that this affair will more clearly exhibit the fact that the so called Democratic party is as intolerant and des potic in feclinc as any despot that ever sat upon a throne, and that t' c exhibition of its oppression is limited only by the extent of its power. The man Dixon murdered recently by the Democratic party at Yazoo, Mississippi, was a Demo crat whose praises has been sounded by all the newspapers of that party ia that motion. He was a controlling man among Democrats, and probably better nieo'ally and morally than most of them. But he chose to differ with the party leaders in Yazoo county, and had become a lealer in an independent party movement, in that county, that county that still claimed to be of the democratic party. He was not in sympathy with the Republicans; his only political t-in, accordiug to the orthodox democratic creed, was that he was opposing the regular orginizition of the party. Being adjudged guilty of that by the Democratic inquisition, a contract was made with Barkdale to drivo Dixon out of the county Barks dale could not do this and in pursuance of his ontnet killed him. This is the whole history of the infamous transaction. It wa the act of the regular Democratic organisation, and every man who adheres to that organization is a party to the crime. And this is but another of the of the 60,000 tol'mcal murder? committed by that party within tho last ten years It has used the whip, the knife, the pistol, the shot gun and the halter, as mcrcilc- lv, as they were ever usd by :hc Spani-h Inquisition, as dc-potically as ever the Familiars of the Ilcly Offices cxerci-d their power. Fair minded men anywhere will not heritatc to believe that every American citizen who adhere to the regular organization of the Mi-called Dem ocratic party, and excuses tuch crimes, or supports the powcrthat commits them, is stained with blood. Thousands of Republicans who were tortured in "Castle Thunder" at Rich mond during the rebellion will learn wi'h Interest that the buildiug wa burned to the ground yenerday. Senator Bruce says he ha-s learned enough iu his investigation of the Freed- man's Band affairs, to fasten the guilt of embezzlement on prominent men in this city. 1 doubt very much if the Senator has made any such di-covery. Beyoud reckless and careless management, I don't -believe anything will be found against the controllers of the bank. Pre vious TBvestfgarion have shown that, and- the inquiry by the Senator's committee was the result of ignorant clamor rather' than any weH grounded'beliaf ia the ac tual criminality of any onr Ben California Pearn, Peachy, Applet, Grape.
