"This is the way to bring people to your town. Make it the most charm ing and beautiful place on earth , make it the talk of the world , and then the world will come and try to live with you. You needn't be frightened if they do. They would find something to go to work at. Most of 'em would bring their knitting with them. " I A writer in an exchange springs the Hollowing : There is an old superstition about the weather which I find very few people know of , although I have heard it since childhood. It is that , however gloomily and dull it may be on Wednesday , the sun is sure to show itself , if only for a few minutes , as Wednesday was the day on which it was created. Whenever I have noticed it has been the case and itis certainly a curious coincidence. Grjund oil cake. ; * POTTER ' & E ASTERD AY. The charity coals went like hot cakes Saturday. TheW.B.

The bar of lied Willow county was increased by three , last Friday evening , Messrs. W. E. Mullen and A. J. Beecher of our city , and W. S. Phillips , Indian- ola , being admitted after passing the required examination. Failing to force his publication on the people , the publisher of the Bartley L. F. W. now threatens to compel those who "refuse" it , to pay for the time it has been thrust upon them. Such an effort to add insult to injury should be promptly frowned down.

The new democratic newspaper , the McCook Leader , made its modest bow to the public , last week. Messrs. Scott & Steinmetz are the publishers. The gentlemen issue a very creditable sheet , which enters the field with an encourag ing patronage , considering the times and the multiplicity of papers already established. A writer of society history says : Oui forefathers had fewer indoor % occupa tions than ourselves and more enforced idleness.

Hence the pilgrim with his licensed exaggeration , the minstrels and the whole army of jesters , japers , disours jong leurs , gleemen , ribalds and gollards all the tribe of those whom Pier Plowman calls "Satan's children" were welcome in the baronial hall. hall.An An irrigating ditch along the foot of the hills south of the river is a sure thing and work on the same will be commenced , next week.

County Clerk Roper indulged in some choice French language upon learning that some of the parties applying for and receiving coal from the county had been liberally supplied from other sources.

Jake Short has rented the old Sar- jent Hotel and ordered new furniture ; o furnish it and says he will conduct ; he business on the latest and most im proved plan. We see nothing to hinder.

Roberts spoke Sunday morning upon the condition of the farmers throughout the western part of the state and particularly Red Wil low county. The statistics furnished were from a reliable source and pre sented a most distressing state of af fairs. Mr. Roberts thinks that the supplies from the eastern part of the state , however liberal , will be entirely inadequate and recommends that an ap peal be made to eastern states.
