Tho political social at the court

cided success in every particular,

parties were ably represented
the democratic by Mrs. Switzor

tain life. Tho party consists of

popular townsman, and a promi
nent merchant of Hemingford;
B. F. Gilman, county attorney
for Box Butte county, his wifo
and children; "and Miss Anna
Neeland. county superintendent
for tho same county. They aro
out for a good time and the
beautiful weather of the past
week has afforded ample oppor
tunity to inhale the pure oxygen
of the bracing mountain air. Of
course Herman has sjiared no
pains in looking after their en
tertainment, and no attraction in
tho way of mining wondqr and
rugged mountain scenery has
boon overlooked. Terry News.
A Suspicious Case,
The suspicions of tho Times
l'egarding tho intentions of the
Hemingford Herald proved to
bo true, as the paper came out
last week squarely for free sil
ver. The publishing of tho de
linquent tax list for this year was
awarded tho Herald very quiot
ly at a meeting of the pop board
of county commissioners last
week, which makes it appear ou
the surface as if somo kind of a
trado might havo been mado.
Well, the popocrats have beon
wanting an organ in this county
for some time, and now they
havo it. Tommy will bo strictly
in clover next November after
Bryan is elected to stay at
home. Alliance Times.
Well, well, Bro. Ellis seems to
Inyo another attack of cholera
morbus. So the "printing of tho
tax list was awarded the Herald
very quiotly at a mooting of the
pop board last week," was it?
Democrats never toll tho truth
so wo quote the following from
tho Commissioners Record:
