Two farmers started to market with thirty

at two for a dollar. The second became sick .
on the way , and the first farmer took all the

dollar and the others two for a dollar , he sold
them of course at five for two dollars , but •
found it hard to explain to number two how

MEETINGS.
Menard's Hall was a brilliant scene of jol
lity , last Friday evening , when the hall was
filled with tho merriest masqueraders and
most vivacious visitors , the latter occupying
the stage , which was specially seated for
their accommodation ; while tho floor spark
led with fairies and knights , presenting a per.
feet kaleidoscope of tinsel and gold , fair
women and chivalrous men. Tho costumes
were in the main rich and elegant , being re-
lieved by a sprinkling of jesters and humpty
dumpties in their less costly , but mirth pro-
yoking garbs of uncouth proportions and va-
riegated colore. " Everything passed off as
merrily as marriage bells. The music was
the best ever played at a similar occasion in
this city. Master of Ceremonies W. J. Hills
managed every feature with commendable
smoothness ; and grace , in which ho was ably
supported : by the floor managers , Messrs. F.
E. Kennedy , Geo. B. Berry , Ed. Jordan and
Lou. W. McConnell. Lunch was served at
Swartz's ' Restaurantf and this feature was in
keeping with the rest of the affair , an excel-
lent spread was served in good style , and
heartily enjoyed. All in all , the masquerade
was a success of which the promoters , one
and all , can feel proud. Below we give the

hurt our town any , and may do the county cr :
good. Indianola has demonstrated in the , n
past that she will hold her own. The farmers tli
know where they can trade to their best ad1
vantage , and so long as this place holds the d
trade | of the county , just so long will we conin
tinue to move along upon the solid basis that
is being built up slowly but surely , and which
will stand against thewinds of adversity
which are sure to come to every place in time. * • '

LOCAL POLIJICS.
Tim local Mutation , as regards tho Mayor
alty , , at least , seems to havo crystallized in
Dr. S. L. Green. The doctor is one of our
first settlers. Is agentleman of careful judg
ment and excellent business ability , and will
make a conservative executive , who will have
In mind tho city's best interests and most
rapid advancement At tho earnest solicita
tion of many friends the doctor has reluctant
ly consented to be a candidate for that Im
portant ofllce.
As one of the councilmen from the second
ward , Mr. F. L. Brown , who is now filling ,
by | appointment , the unexpired term of Coun
cilman ( Dixon , resigned , in a very acceptable
manner } , is prominently and favorably men
tioned. , The interests of the second ward
and , of tho city at large , as well , will bo In
competent , keeping shall Mr. Brown , who has
reluctantly j consented to allow his name to be
used , in that connection , be the choice of the
ward.
Tun TitrauKE's suggestion for city trcas-
urer . , Mr. E. C. Ballew , is meeting with grati
fying approval fiom many citizens. His rec
ognized competency for the oflice makes him
a . very desirable candidate , and it looks ' as
though his friends would present his merits
.
in no uucertain way at the April election.
,
There is no room for improvement in the se
lection j of a candidate for city treasurer.
While Mr. Anderson is not making any
cauvas for re-election , there is . a. general feel
ing ! favoring a lecngiiition of his efficiency as
city clerk , dining the inst year , by investing
,
him with the honors and emoluments of that
office for another term. He has made a com
petent and reliable clerk , one of the very
best the city has ever had. His re-election
would not be amiss.
Candidates for the other first and second
ward councilmen , as well as for the remain
der of the city offices have not fully material
ized ; though the "woods is full of 'em , " they
stick too close to the timber for accurate enu-
meration and description.
It is now stated that Mr. C. T. Brewer , who
has 1 been regarded as a prominent candidate 1
for mayor , is out of the race entirely. But
then Charlie is a sly fox , and a legacy of dee
feat does not daunt him.

Our New Plan.
We , the physicians of McCook , have been
forc to adopt a new plan with regard to
our collections for the following leasons :
1. We have found it impossible to collect
more than a small portion of our accounts. c
2. We have repeatedly found that our bills tl
have ' been "left until the last , " and we have e
thus trequently been compelled to borrow
money from the banks to pay our running 0
expenses. - c
3. This lias been canied to such and extl
tent that we are forced to stop practice un
less our patrons appreciate our services in a
more substantial manner. For the forgoing t
reasons be it hereby
a
Resolved , That hereafter we will do
strictly a cash practice , and whenever any
one of our patrons becomes delinquent , he .
*
shall be notified , and unless satisfactory set-
tlement be made within thirty days thereaf

Mr. E. L. Gill who cries more big stock sales
than any other man in Central Illinois anil
probably more than any man in the state , In
forms us that the sale of August Droll , Esq. ,
on last Wednesday , was one of the best ho has
cried this fall and winter. The sale amounted
to over $10C00 and the property brought good t
prices. A large portion of the stock espec.ally \ \
the horses , was imported and registered. We &
are glad that Mr. Droll realized well at his n
sale , but every one acquainted with him will
regret to have so good a farmer and citizen
leave us. Eighteen years or residence among
us has made us thoroughly acquainted with
his worth as a man and citizen and heightens
our regret at his departure. We cordially re
commend Mr. Droll to the people or McCook
and HcdV/illow county , Neb. , adjust the sort
ot a man to tickle their virgin soil and make
It laugh with u teeming harvest : to aid them
in the improvment of their live stock and as
sist in all material improvements. Paxtou

Mn. Blaine's selection for the state depart *
ment will probably bowl Tom Heed out of the
speakership race. To place him ut the head
of the house will bo regarded as concentrating
too much political power in Maine , and tho
stock of the western candidates will rise in
consequence. McKinxev looks like the com
ing man now , and it i& said that tho adminis
tration is in favor of him. it is not probable ,
lowcver , that the president will mix up wita
the contest.
The year 1:83 ! is to be a great year for the

jesomething marvellous.
