Our merchants did an immense Atwood - wood business , Monday One man from that point bought a bill of $225 worth of goods.

I Have our business men ever c erod that they could save more In hav ing their insurance rate decreased , than an effective fire organization would cost them.

Loomis - is of the Willow. Mr. Loomis dropped in , last week , and made our acquaintance , and before departing , subscribed and paid for four copies of THE TuinuxE.

McPherrin was arrested last Saturday at McCook. by sheriff Miles , of this county , on a charge of setting the prairie on fire on the east side of Deer Creek. Mr. McPherrin claims to be innocent of the act and that he will prove it to the satisfaction of all , on the day of trial. The crime is one that | * deserves punishment if the guilty par * 1 ties'can he found. Faber. j ] The Superior Journal refcis to the inexplicable - ' , ( to action of * * two explicable us ) young i dudes oPthe first water , " ' of that vil- ; lage. Thece dudelets have not sworn ' , to forebear from the use of the fragrant weed or liquid lighting for a month , but have actually agreed not to speak to two , certain young ladies for the specified time. Such a thing is unprecedented in McCook. Why our average ' -di.tlet on the eye' ' can't refrain from conversation - : sation with our winsome , fascinating < lassies more than 24 hours , and a fortnight - i night of such abstinence would kill him. ] NOTIGR ! * * * . ii All persons indebted to we arc requested to call and settle before the ith day of Jamia ry , 1885.

With an improved ticket board people will be sure of their scats , there being no possible chance for mistakes. The Union Sunday School gives an entertainment in the Congregational Church , to-night , for the little folks. All interested in the little ones , and in Sunday School matter ? , should be pres ent. The program will doubtless be interesting. An exchange remarks. "Don't become excited , we will be accommodated with a little winter in due time. ' ' We should smile were the thermometer not down so low as to forestall the cracking of such a thing. 13 decrees below-zero indicates an atmospheric condition very like winter. Mr. and Mrs. Ed. Fitzgerald of Sout I McCook hailed the advent of a bouncing - ' ing boy baby into their household , last Thursday. The stranger is a lusty litj tie Celt of 12vV pounds. West McCook also received an addition of one to her population. A girl to Mr. and Mrs. Thos. Mclnroy. Both the Oberlin papeis are of opin ion that a daily stage line between Mc Cook and Oberlin would be a paying in vestment. When the importance and extent of the travel and traffic between these points are considered , that such an enterprise could be ought else but a paying out1. F < "MHS improbable. On Januaij .at , 100. ) , a penalty of 5 per cent , will be added to all unpaid taxes of the year 188 i , and interest ' computed at 10 per cent , per annum after said date.

Extensive preparations are being made for the Masonic ball and supper , 1 to be > eld in the B. & M. Dining Hall. , to-night The ladies are vying with ' each other in the matter of dress , and the party that will assemble on this oc casion will be the most brilliant one. in all probability , that has ever come to gether in our city. And apropos , in the matter of stylish dress our ladies are unapproachable. Crete Xurseries offer of their own growth one hundred and twenty acres of nursery stock , carrying a good supply of Apple , Pear. Cherry , Plum , Peach. Apricot , and all the reliable small fruits. Forty thousand Evergreens of our own growth. Ornamental trees and plants. Hedge plants , Eussian mulberry , Catalpa - talpa and Forest trees. Those who ap preciate the advantage of dealing with home nursery should send for a cata logue to E. F. STEPHENS , Supt. , Crete , Xebraska. The crew on Xo. ? , indulged in a humorous performance , some time since , at Hastings. It seems that Xo. 3 has . about two hours time at Hastings , and that the crew take advantage of the fact and indulge in a "little snooze , ' ' to be awakened at the proper time by certain parties. On this particular time the operator , who , it appears , had also thrown himself into the arms of Mor pheus for a season , upon waking , and evidently supposing that the train was late , rubtlcd around and informed the train men that they were 20 minutes late. Agreeable to which , the train was rapidly gotten under headway , and had reached the neighborhood of Blue Hill or beyond , before they ascertained that they were an hour ahead of time. The performance is unprecedented. More ? Xo more. The railroad boys are making prepar ations for holding a serial hop in the Opera IlallrXew Year's Eve. The boys are having some handsome programs printed at this office. NOTIGR. All those persons knowing themselves to be in debt to Lytle ( Bros , are requested to call and square up accounts before the ist of January , 1885. Coal thieves seem to be numerous 'and active these cold nights , concluding from reports of a number of our citizens concerning the unusual and dispropor tionate amount of coal the } have been buying lately. Friday evening , some parties were attracted to the plethoric coal bin of the Colvin House , and de liberately drawing a wagon along side of the same , they filled their wagon and quietly drilled away , without exciting ! any suspicion. We might note other in stances. Just here we desire to call at tention to the fact that our diminutive bunker of black diamouds is protected by a charge of dynamic death and de struction , not conducive to longevity. Others have equipped themselves with shot guns , but we will not speak of it , as a charge of bird-shot insinuated into the fleeing form of one of these thieves may create a healthy impression. Toilet Soaps at Metropolitan Drug Store. Store.We We failed to note the arrest and pun ishment $10 and costs of the shoot- ist from Frontier county , last week. The individual giving the assumed name of Jones , was an unerring shot with the revolver , and after taking on board a super-cargo of a beverage of hell , he was in a superinduced mental and physical condition which made the shooting into private residences , snufliing of street lamps , etc. . a very ordinary exploit. It is i a wonder that no one was killed by the I fool's reckless shooting. A simple fine j is inadequate punishment for such an offense the endannerinsr of an inno- i * < * cent life and nothing short of impris onment comes near recompensing or expiating for the crime. This high handed outlawry should be tolerated no more. Hand Painted Toilet'Sets at Metro politan 1 Drug Store. School closed for the Holidays , Wednesday evening , and will open again January nth. 18S5. 31 r. Stephenson , the present- principal , whose term of employment ends with this term , we are informed , has accepted a clerkship in the t County Clerk's office , and will move to the county-scat as soon as the weath er permits. Mr. Stcphenson , with his able assistants , has gotten the different departments of the school in good work ing order , for which much credit islue. . The only change in teachers , we have it from a director , will be in the princi- palship ; but Mr. Stephenson's successor ser has not yet been decided upon , or at least is not given us for publication. Hanging Lamps at Metropolitan Drug Store. We take it as being the imperative duty of every citizen of this town to as sist in the enforcement of its ordinances rather than in defending those who transgress against them and outrage the dignity of its every law. If the idea goes forth that no matter what crime may be perpetrated against the peace , property or lives of our citizens , 'tis on- Jy necessary to engage counsel to escape with a small fine , we are likely to have more like the proceeding's of last week. How much of thi § earth's treasures will pay for the loss of one noble life at the hands of some drunken maniac ? Violins and Cases at Metropolitan Drug Store. There is no one day in the entire year that is so full of meaning and benedic tion to all men , Christian and non- Christian , as Christmas Day. and no day that should be and we presume will be so. universally and joyfully observed. The little ones ( and larger ones as well ) should be remembered , not necessarily with a costly present , but with some memento within the means of the don ors. If there are any deserving poor whoso hearts can be made glad by a gen erous gift from the bounty of the more provident , let it not be withheld. Positive Corn Cure at Metropolitan Druir Store. A Meadville. ( Pa. ) girl bet her lover fifty kisses against a winter wrap that Blaine would be elected. She loses the wrap and he wins the rapture. That girl will insist upon a fair count , too , if she has to go over it a dozen times to make sure of it. Any person having a Timber Claim , near McCook , for sale , t-hould call on H. W. Pike. PERSONAL POINTERS. | i W. II. Ilayden made his accustomed visit to McCook , Friday. { f Mr. IJnywanl , representing Seaman , t was in town , Tuesday. . Fred Pitney and Mrs. Kneff , teachers of the Culbcrtson schools , were in town. Saturday. Mrs. Ed. Hocksworth went down to Superior , Monday night of last week , where she will visit her friend , Miss Mamie Valbehr. I. J. Starbuck informs us that his law partner , J. B. Jennings , is now in Hamburg. Iowa , quite ill with the fever. George Chencry toou a jaunt out to Denver , the first of the week. George , we understand , has resigned his posi tion with Ilayden & 'Co. A. P. Leech has been absent , a num ber of days at Lincoln. Mr. L. is on the qui vive for some droppings from the Democratic sanctury. Messrs. Criswell , Ashmore and Suave ly of the legal and judicial talent of the county-seat , transacted business before the land office , Tuesday. S. E. Solomon editor of the Cullert- fion Sun , was in town on business , and found opportunity to invade this sanc tum and form our acquaintance. W. D. dimming , familiarly known by the abbreviated title of "Seotty , " came up , last week , from Ked Cloud , where he has been in the employ of the B. & M. , and will spend a number of days in town. L. Mor.se of Bcnkclman stopped over in town , a few days the first of the week , on his way down the Valley after corn. Mr. Morse thinks this kind of winter requires more than hay to keep cattle comfortable. Postmaster Harry Jones of liits.sell , Frontier county , was in town , two or three days , last wi-ck , a witness on a land suit. Litigation over disputed cor ners and lines is becoming a common occurrence and will become more so and more bitter as land incicases in value. A. E. Powers , editor of the Stock- ville Faber , was in town on business , Monday. A. E. says that they ( some individuals unfriendly to Mr. Powers ) arc actually threatening to put another paper in Stuckvillc. And still we mourn. Mr. Shipman , a young man from Chicago cage , was in town. Monday , laying in some supplies and furnishings fur his claim , up in Hayes county , recently cntcix-d by him , in the vicinity of the D\ers. Mr. S. made us a pleasant call , during the day. Mr. II. C. Rider , the projector of the We-'t McCook interests , is absent at Lincoln. II. C. doubtless wanted tosci- \\hich way the cat would jump at the meeting of the Democratic State Central tral Committee , Tuesday. It seems to be a question with Dr. Miller and J. Sterling Morton , ' 'to be or not to be. " The longest pole knocks the persim mons , and who manipulates the longest rod will appear. The murderer of Eugene Sherwood , Jonas > .elson. was taken by a number of citizens to the tree at which he bru tally assassinated Shtnvood. and sus pended to the nether end of a good piece of hemp , after which the body was mu tilated by cutting the man's throat and .shooting into his body. Xelson deserv ed the hanging , but the cutting and shooting was barbarous and unmanly , to put it mild. Xo man should let hi ? animal nature get away with him to the extent of making a barbarian of him. no matter how great the crime. Hand Painted Moustache Cups at Metropolitan Drug Store.
