R . : / THIRTEENTH YEAR. MCCOOK RED WILLOW COUNTY NEBRASKA. FRIDAY EVENING , FEB. 1 i895. NUMBER 27.
The Reasons Why.
To THE PUBLIC :
As several persons have asked me why
I have started to build a church at Mc-
'Cook during a season of depression such
as we are now experiencing , I would request -
quest your permission to make reply
through your paper , and in reply to that
'question I will say that i find the Epis
copalians of McCook have been talking
of building for ten years , but have not
done so notwithstanding they have enjoyed -
joyed the blessings of several good years.
Now we have an exceptionally poor year
and we must build. I have been sent in
charge of these missions mostly because
x building was to be erected at McCook
this year. Again we only require $300
'now as we have the rest of the money on
hand. Suppose each man in McCook
who is working will give me one dollar ,
1' I can go ahead with the work and comM -
M plete it and have no debt on hand. IVill
the men of McCook do it ? Had Idream-
ed they would not , I should not have
started my ladies out to collect it.
Most respectfully yours ,
R. L. KNOX.
i Was a Success.
The Hard Times ball that came off ,
last Friday evening m the A. 0. U. W.
temple hall , despite the very severe and
inclement weather , was a distinct suc-
i cess. There was quite a numerous attendance -
tendance , and the costumes were many
i of them wonderfully and fearfully made.
Resides those iii costume there were
many spectators , who seemed to enjoy
the incongruous scene quite as much as
r 'the dancers. The music was very y satisfactory -
factory and the dancing was continued
until a late hour.
t
Prizes were given for the most original ,
unique costumes. Miss Della Johnston
carried off the lady's prize , a jewel
. basket. Arthur Douglass was awarded
the gentleman's prize , a silver collar butt -
t
iron box.
g r
The affair was indeed gratifying
throughout , and Messrs. Curtis , Jordan
and all others connected therewith are
be congratulated upon the successsful
' .iutcome of the same , both in financial
and social features.

Young man , did you ever know of a
slipshod-farmer , a half-baled lawyer ,
sleepy merchant , or any undecided
man of any kind who amounted to
anything ? Do you know of a man any-
here who dilly-dallies , hesitates , or
hems and haws , to do anything , get anywhere -
where , or accomplish any great thing ?
On the other hand , don't you know that
the man of decision , the positive man ,
the one who knows what he intends to
do , and goes vigorously to work to do it ,
s the one who succeeds ? Then don't
shillyshally , or become befuddled at
any time on any question. Be a yes erne
no man ; be honest with yourself and
with everybody else and you will suc-
ceed. The world does not regard an
undecided man who never knows where
he is at ; but it loves the one who stands
squarely up for what he believes , and
votes his sentiments at the polls without
wavering. Don't permit yourself to be
classed among the doubtful on any ques-
ion. Be a man of character and stand-
ng. Men of energy are in demand
everywhere ; so if you hope to go to
the front , stand squarely on both feet
and look the world in the face.-Eldora
Republican.

sary blanks to fill the requirements of

lattire and now in force. Blanks will

If , as Colonel Mitchell ofthe Indianola
Courier i , endeavoring to make apparent ,
the farmers of Red Willow county are
so strongly opposed to voting county
bonds for feed and seed , surely nobody
else need rend their under garments in I
this matter. But this matter needs unbiased -
biased , non-partisan consideration , and
if those sought to be most henefitted do
not want it , why that settles it.
Representative Lamborn , like several
others , was not elected speaker of the
house , but he has something almost as
good. He has been chosen by the state
banking board as the temporary receiver
of the Bank of Wilcox. Ex-Governor
J. W. Dawes was first selected , but he
declined to serve.-Lincoln Journal' J.
This section of Nebraska narrowly escaped -
caped a blizzard , Thursday. A terribly
cold wind prevailed from the northeast
and was accompanied with considerable
snow. This morning was the coldest of
the winter-i6 degrees below zero.

home from Kansas with a number of

A ministerin amadjoining town recent-
y startled his congregation with the fol-
owing language : "Before the stewards
ake up the collection , I would like to
make a few remarks. There are over 200
persons in this house counting sinners
and saints , crooked and straight , big
and little , male and female , not incluing
the crying babies. If each person here
thinks my sermon worth the price of a
glass of beer or a nickel cigar , five red
tens of a dime , let him pay that amount.
If each pays a nickel it will make a total
of $ io this evening. This repeated every
day in the year would pay my salary.
A sermon that isn't worth a nickel isn't
worth coming to hear , and a person that
will beat the Lord , the preacher or the
printer , is a goat of the most odoriferous -
ous . " '
Alfalfa is a curious grass , but a paying
one , says an exchange. It is better than
bank account , for it never fails nor
goes into the hands of a receiver. It is
weather proof , for the cold does not inure -
ure and the heat m tkes it grow the bet-
er. A winter flood will not drown it
and a fire will net kill it. As a borer it
s equal to an artesian well. When grow-
ng there is no stopping it. Begin cut-
ing a twenty acre field and when your
ast load of hay is handled at one end of
he field the grass is ready to cut at the
other end of it. For filling a milk can ,
an alfalfa fed cow is equal to a handy
pump. Cattle love it , hogs fatten upon
t and a hungry horse will want nothing
lse. Bees will leave all other blooms
for alfalfa. If your land will grow alfalfa -
fa you will have the drop on dry weath-
r. Once started on your land alfalfa
will stay with you like Canada thistles
or a first-class mortgage , but only to
make you wealthier and happier. Put
up a windmill plant and try it.

Try Sub-Soiling.
The subject of sub-soiling is attracting
a good deal of attention and is a very
encouraging indication. It shows that
the .people are beginning to study
the situation ; that tile ) are seeking to
solve the problem of dry weather. Sub-
soiling would be of special value in this
country , because there is rarely a spring
when we tlo not have several soaking
rains. If the soil is loosened to time
depth of two feet it will usually become
moist to that depth during the months
of May and June. Our niost dangerous
cnontii is July. Witir the soil thoroughly -
ly saturated withn water to the depth of
twenty-four inches it will be an exceptional -
tional season that the corn : crop will not
pass through the nmonth of July comparatively -
paratively unhurt and receive the fall
rains iii time for its maturity.
A Happy Birthday Party.

Besides time good time enjoyed by the

ice cream , cake , candy , fruit , etc. , were
served , and filled the cup of joy to the
brim.
