the same , both of which arc now under
the control of J. J..Dunbar , who has a
fine lot of pole teams , saddle horses ,

sells horses. Stabling for 50 head.

from him between Cambridge and Arap-
ahoc , has recovered his mules and $50

afforded him great assistance in the
matter. Atwood Citizen.
The manipulator of the paste , brush
and scissors of this office takes the lib
erty to remark that the luscious grape
will grow in this country. Mr. Watts
of the Sappa , brother-in-law of J. W.
Howell , lays on our table the proof in
the" shape of a number of bunches of
an excellent taste and flavor.
An exchange makes the following
very truthful remark : "An honest man
will pay for his paper before he orders
it i stopped a scoundrel sneaks off and
lets 1i 1 the postmaster notify the publisher
that i the paper remains in the post office ,
because 1 the person to whom it was sent
has 1 left for parts unknown. "
Something bearing an anatomical
likeness 1 to the genus homo in its out
lines , got off the trucks of the first-class
coach attached to No. 40 , Monday , and
wandered blindly and aimlessly river-
ward. It was so paralyzed by dust and
the rapid motion of the "cannon ball"
upon reaching this station , as to be al
most unable to navigate.
The buzzing bee doth now manipulate
,
his plycrs to the detriment of the leaves
on tree and bush. The absorbing ques
tion among those of our citizens who
are blessed with' these products of the
nursery is how to put a quietus on the
too busy bee , or at least how to put a
stop to the depredations of the afore
said insect. Suggestions are in'order.
W. M. Irwin has taken down his 10
foot Enterprise mill and replaced it
with a 12 foot Woodmanse , to run a
feed grinder. He thinks the Wood-
manse is the best self-regulating , strong
est , less noiseless and lightest running
mill in market. Call at his residence
miles northwest of McCook and in
spect the mill. Will put up a 12 foot
Woodmanse at same figures asked for
10 foot Enterprise. .
Annie Sevenker , who came home
from : Denver three or four weeks ago '
sick with fever , died at the residence
of her parents , a few miles northwest
of town , early Monday morning. The
remains were laid away in their final
resting place on the homestead of the
parents of the deceased. The transi
tion from the exuberance and glow of
liealth to the paler of death , we are re
minded , is terribly rapid betimes.
The Lincoln Land Co. has set aside
the entire block in which the water tank
on ' the hill is situated for a park , and
will proceed at once to plow up the en
tire place , preparatory to setting out
trees , etc. , this fall. It is proposed to
set a double row all around the block
and also on each side of two walks
which are to be laid out diagonally from
the four corners. The remainder of the
square will be planted to grasses and n
shrubbery , and will make a handsome
/lace , if proposed plans are carried out.
A little fracas occurred m the Colvin
House , Monday , resulting in S. M. Bow
man's head coming in contact with a
ase ball bat in the hands of the pro- tl
meter of that hostelry , to the diminu tltl
tion of the personal beauty of the first tl
mentioned. Bowman was intoxicated
md became abusive and pugilistically
nclined being desirous of wiping up at
Jic floor with Mr. Colviii's manly form
as a result. The b. b. b. aforesaid
somewhat cooled Bowman's ardor , and
quitted the premises. Bowman is a
uiet , peaceable fellow , but is uufortu-
lately given to drink at times. $

The Apron Fair and Festival given
y the members of the Ladies' Union
A
the Opera Hall , Thursday evening
last week , was , we take pleasure in
innouncing , a pleasant and profitable
me. The display of aprons by the Un-
on was very creditable , embracing all
radcs from the demure little gingham
the handsome hand painted satin , B
vith lace trimmings , and many tbought- ei
ul housewives took advantage of the in
iccasion to lay in a stock. The literary clA
3reface was fair , but the length of time A
ccupied in preparing the tableaux de-
racted from their effect. Altogether ,
he evening was enjoyable and it'is to w
regretted that the attendance was w
lot larger. be
There id now.on exhibition at fche real
estate office of A. C. Towne some speci
mens of sod corn , broom corn , diffei tut
kinds of grain , etc. , that arc uncxccpj
tionally fine , and ones that would do any
of our more pretentious eastern coun
ties proud. With the amount of moisture - i
ture that has characterized this season ,
Red Willow county will come to the I
front in grand style. j
Connection with the wejl was made , '
Tuesday , and upon starting the pump
b'roke , but was speedily repaired , and is ,
now doing its accustomed work. With
this change in the way of procuring the , |
'
water , the quality of that liquid ought ;
to be greatly improved. The company | I
ought to put in another engine and
pump. When the one now in use breaks , j I
the people are liable to be without water j
until the needed repairs are made. This j
can be done without a very great outlay i
of money , and will strengthen the sys-
tern.

H. C. Rider whiled away a few days
in Crete this week. Mr. Rider has erect
ed 23 buildings at McCook this summer ,
and transacted a large real estate busi
ness. He says that he now proposes to
take a little rest. He just returned
from a visit to the mining camps of
Colorado , where he says everything is
dull and business at a stand still. After
taking in the state fair , he will start
for New Orleans , do up the cotton ex
position and take a trip through the
Southern States returning via New
York. Crete Vidette.
A meeting of the land agents of the
Valley took place at Orleans at the
office of R. S. Hendricks this week.
There was a good attendance and some
good work done that may result in con
siderable benefit to the Valley. The
news of our unprecedented prosperity
has reached parts of the east , and the
cry is "to Nebraska. " We can look
for a good immigration this fall and
winter. Our local land agents are maks
ing strong efforts to secure their share
of the coming flood of seekers of homcb
in the far west Orleans Sentinel.
For the information of the public ,
Postmaster Scott requests us to publish s
the following letter from the Chief
Clerk of the railway mail service ai
Omaha. He desires to state that one
hour is all the time the office is requir
ed to be kept open for the delivery of
mail on Sunday , and that any longei
time is a matter of accommodation on
his part :
OFFICE CHIEF CHEIIK R. M. S. , w
Omaha , Neb. , June 3d , 18S4. c
Sill : I should think if you should open
your office from 12 to 1 ou Sunday it would be
sufficient. It would be well if you would give
'notice through the paper at your place that
the office would only be open at this hour for
the delivery of mail. One hour is all the time re
that is given people here to receive their mail.
Respectfully , reB

There never was a time perhaps when
the necessity for paying small bills was A
more imperative than the present Ev
ery man feels that he should have 11
every dollar that is due him. and the bi
failure of persons to pay small bills biai
who are able to do so , tends to tighten ti
financial affairs and produce individual
and general stringency in money mat
ters. If every person would reflect how
d
many debts only a dollar or two would
liquidate , and how much a community
would be benefitted by a general pay
ment of small accounts , we think a key
would be found to unravel and remove
much of the complaint of stringency in 01
money matters. Therefore , if you owe cc
this office anything we would be pleased
to have it paid in at once.
