Incidents of Every Day Life Which Very
Few People Stop to Think About on
Account of Their Littleness
If rain counts for tinythinfj tho bluo
grnss croj) in this city is nssurctl. A
lain like Inst Monriny night's niny bo n
little inconvctiiont to somo persons
having low rcllnrs, but it wns gootl
thing ncvt'itholess. Did you notice
how nice the sti cuts and gutters wet o
:lciuu'd out Rubbish piles that have
laid around sincn last fall aro now on
their way to tho Missouri rivpr.Lnst
Monday was tho day to plant trees, but
we don't mind seeing many now ones
in our travels about. It would prob
ably ho a good plan for somo of our
people to cut down somo of tho old
cottonwoods and plant shade trees in
their place. This applies to the coutt
house yard also. Wo haven't the
slightest doubt but that tho board of
commissioners could get someone to
grub out tha old cottonwoods for what
wood theie is in thorn nnd furnish tho
maples and set them out instead.
They might not give quite as much
shade for a few years as is now nfl'ord
ed but in time they would makoa
grove that could not be excelled And
we believe it would not cost the county
a cent At least not more thnu the ac
tual cost of the trees As far as that i
concerned the eountycllieeisiiiight set
them out in their leisiuo moments.
They are an industi ions lot of fellows
who would no doubt be glad (?) to get
aehaueotodig holes for tices. That
would save tho county money. Then
the county could buy a fow axes and
lot them cut up tho old cottonwoods.
That would be just fun for them.
When a person becomos possessed with
the belief that ho is tho great "I nm
ntn ho" and wishes to dictate every
thing morally, physically, spiritually,
politically and otheivvise it is about
time for tho people tu liso up and
mito him There aio somo in all
towns who should bo smote lied
Cloud is no exception A man who
has not the capability of tcnli.ing that
ivciy man is entitled to his own belief
be it religion, political, aiiti-saloouical
or anything eUc, is too infinitely shoit
on bums to be considettd a poison of
sound mind. Wo believo everyone is
entitled to their own opinion One
man's opinion is all i ight necm ding to
his way of thinking, nnd another man's
opinion may be all right according to
his way of thinking But it does not
necessarily follow that ono man's opin
ion should contiol tho minds nnd ac
tions of n whole community. There is
one nice citilied tiling about Kcd Cloud
now and that is "tlio club "A plnco
to entertain stiangum when vis
iting in this city It also furnishes n
good excuse fot mat tied men who stay
out late nights The old rookery will
soon bo convened into quite a respect-

own old tumble down shacks nlnnc

after tho city election tho peoplo would
again couclude to look out for public

And money is what wo aro nil after.
It is what we print a puper for. It is
what a business man handles goods
for. It is what a saloon man sells
whiskey for. It is what politicians
