Why don't you put a few asuas oft thoso ioy places on your front walk. Ashes prevent slipping, and will thui prevent solos from ascending upwards. Also prevents disagrooablo language which generally rosults from suoh slip pory placos. Tho Guido Rock Signal says Red Cloud has a blgsonsation, but you must go away from homo to get such nows. This woathor is tho male ingot somo mon, principally tho lo and ooal mon, Tho cold nap Is about tho longost In our oxporionoo of Ne braska winters, Somo of our secret sociotico nro considering tho subject of public Installations. This Is tho tlm of year whon tho plump little quail says to tho toast, "I'm onto you." One man, who don't know a thing about it says we will imvo a storm during the holidays.-Somo morohants try to get a sampio of everything In their store it tho show window. If thero Isn't room In tho windows, walks in front are gen orally appropriated. Tho small boy and tho suiunoy olub are quite promi nent features around our city at pres ent. Tho broom factory has moved, t tho Gulllford building. You shouldn't bollevo all you hear th&so days. Tht gossips and. scandal mongors aro out ia forco and woo unto be who Incurs the enmity of thoso classos. Don't tell all. tho rumors you hear, for the truth. If a nowspiipof published all the ra mors handod in it would have few sub suribers and numoroun libol suits. Tho tltno for swearing off will soon be hero. Tbo toy stores arojoaded to the iuuz.Io this year. Tho ico harvest still continues and tho quality gots better every day. Evoryono who has a suit able placo is putting up ico this year. That lira boll tower looks liko It needed a Hag polo or cupalo on top to com ploto It, With tho first thaw some back alloys, In placos, will produco a sower gas smell, but as long as cold, woathor lasts slop will freozo. If the rumor starters don't let up we will havo to start a rumor column t keep up with tho timos. If wo should partios mentioning rumors will be men ioned as respomiblo for tho truthful hobs of tho samo. How would your namo look in print as responsible fcr some of thoso stories you havo been tolling about your noigbbor. "Changed HU Mind."
