The McCook Tribune MeCOOK , RED WILLOW CO. , NEB. , THURSDAY , DECEMBER 2 , 1886. BOX ELDER BLOSSOMS. It looks quite like spring. Here we are , just thawed out of a snow bank. Elder Maddox spent the Sabbath hereabouts last week. J. B. Piper took a trip to Alma , last week , and took in the storm at Indianola. We learn that Mrs. Turner is on the sick list this week. The winter term of school at Box Elder commenced Nov. 29th , with N. J. Chrysler as teacher. Rev. J. B. Piper filled the M. E. pulpit , at Box Elder , last Sunday morning' and evening. Rev.

Starbuck , of McC.ook , was visiting her parents , Mr. and Mrs. Weygint , the latter part of the week. A huge wave of pleasant memories come over us as we hear Joe Stephens' familiar ha , ha , ha , and Jim Kinghorn's tc , he , he. The Box Elder literary society is still pros perous , and is becoming quite an interesting affair. No doubt much talent will be brought forth and polished , that would otherwise lie dormant. The M. E. Sunday School of this place still continues to be well attended by diligent scholars and zealous teachers , a fact which wo are happy to note. For we believe that a community that can sustain a good live Sun day school , will never sink into oblivion. Nov. 30,1883. SOLOXN. PROSPECT PARK. O * Fine weather. Have you seen Dillon's new sled ?

Il linois takes the lead with 78 entries , while Nebraska is right on her heols with 73 entries. Hurrah for Nebraska ! yells a GKANGEI : . IN the recent "pernicious political activity" putterings of Grover Cleve land we have the measure of the admin istration to a nicety. It will be re called that the president , sometime since , issued a circular threatening to suspend any federal officer who partici pated in politics. Under that order he suspended two United States district attorneys , Ben ton of Missouri , was a democrat , and Stone of Pennsylvania , a republican. Recently , President Cleveland reinstated Benton. There upon Stone , whose case was identically the same , applied for reinstatement. President Cleveland refuses Stone's ap plication. Grover takes the bakery in making cute discriminations , in distin guishing the subtle difference between tweedledee and tweedledum. He has the distinction , too , of being about the only man in the nation who sees the lack of exact identity in the cuses. In other words , Col. Stone has chased the administration up a stump , beautifully. "YOUNG man , " says the Boston Post , "If you would be wise and successful , strive to go through life seeing , but not too much seen ; hearing , but not too much heard ; knowing , but not too much known. Have grit , but not too much gall ; be fly , and not too fresh. " FOR SALE CHEAP. -o- One new 3-seat , 3-spring wagon ; one second-hand buggy. Also , one 2-seat covered carriage , second-hand.
