THIRTEENTH YEAR. McCOUK RED WILLOW BOUNTY , NEBRASKA. FRIDAY EVENING FEB. 15 1895. NUMBER 89 ,
Mistaken Economy.
In letting the contract. for the county
pnuting to an irresponsible sheet of in-
'considerable and gratuitous circulation ,
the county commissioners have at best
followed a mistaken idea of economy.
The price of the contract is below cost ,
below the dignity of coolie labor , and
the service the public may reasonably
expect will be miserable and worthless
-and useless , The people of Red Willow
. 'county are entitled to good service in
this important matter , and they should
pay a fair price for the same. It is not
the duty of the county commissioners to
let the printing to an incompetent sheet
simply because the irresponsible hired
lackey on the dodger of uncertain issue
quotes figures that would put to shame
the veriest pirate that every scuttled a
ship. The service rendered by this
semi-occasional guttersnipe , two years
sgo , invalidated the tax sales , and put
the county in jeopardy. And if by some
.misfortune it should survive long enough
to butcher the delinquent tax list , next
fall , another egregious and nullifying
blunder may be expected.
Such economy is not expected by the
people from the commissioners , but good
service is demanded. Good servise requires -
quires honest , faircompeusation. Neither -
er good service nor fair compensation
are secured under the present contract.
It is a case of mistaken economy and the
i county will be the loser.

The Valentine Dress Ball.
Although the attendance was not quite
so large as hoped at the Valentine dress
'ball given by McCook lodge No. I , Star

cleverness iii their conception and preparation -
aration , and the total effect was gay and
amusing. Miss Maude Doan's costume
was formed out of flour bags from the
McCook roller mills , and she was accorded -
corded the prize of two big round dol-
Zars of our fathers. The lodge may feel
; gratified over the success of their dance.

The Lady Editors.
In addition to the splendid literary
success attained by the King's Daughters
in the edition of the Times-Democrat ,
last week , it must be gratifying to know
that the ladies knew how to "rustle"
and that the news from the counting
room is also most encouraging , about $75
being realized front the edition for charitable -
itable purposes.
The editress , Mrs. A. J. Rittenhiouse ,
and her corps of able and energetic assistants -
sistants in both editorial and business
departments , are hereby congratulated
upon the success of the enterprise.
Publisher Barnes is also entitled to his
modicum of praise for his goodly share
in the mechanical excellence of the
edition.
The New Board.
At the annual meeting of the McCook
Cooperative Building and Savings Association -
ciation held on Monday evening Messrs.
J. F. Ganschow , J. E. Kelley , U.J. Warren -
ren , F. M. Kimmell , W. S. Perry , T. B.
Campbell , J. A. Wilcox were elected
members of the board . of directors ,
Messrs , B. B. Lownian and Frank Harris -
ris holding over and completing the
official board of nine. The officers are
T. B. Campbell , president ; J. F. Gan-
schow , vice-president ; F. A. Pennell ,
secretary ; W. I ? . Lawson , treasurer. A
new series of stock was declared open.
AT THE CHURCHES.
Usual services in the Methodist church ,

Episcopal services will be held in Mc-
Connell's hall , next Sunday , by Rev.
Knox. Morning hour i1 , evening S.

It is to be hoped that the day will
never come in the history of this community -
munity when a respected citizen who
has risen by his own industry and force
of character and ability from a lowly but
honorable vocation in life to one of
great influence , honor and profit , can be
insulted with impunity by an obscure
and irresponsible failure. The world
will be much worse than it now is when
it fails to respect honorable success from
the humblest beginning. Abraham Lincoln -
coln has a no less enduring place in the
affections of the people of America because -
cause he split rails. Supt. Campbell's
present splendid success is in no wise
clouded by the fact that he was once
the ablest section boss on the Burlington -
ton system.
The Willow Grove precinct relief com-
niittee have opened rooms under J. F.
Ganschow's shoe emporium , where goods

A thoroughly intelligent , active , well-
bred woman will never indulge iii idle
gossip , simply because she has plenty to
think about without it-occupation sufficient -
cient of brain , tongue and bands-and in
this lies the only cure. Educate the coming -
ing generation ; show them that the active -
ive life is the happiest , because the most
useful , instill into their earliest lessons
the utter folly and consequent sinfulness
of idle chatter , and above all , never gossip -
sip in their hearing , and the root of the
evil will be reached.

The Bond Question.
I-loldrege , Neb. , Feb , to , 1895.
Friend Kinimeli : I understuml there
is some opposition to voting bonds under
the new law to aid our farmers in securing -
ing seed and feed. I do not know from
what source this opposition collies , and
cannot imagine why any one should oppose -
pose any fair and honorable means by
which our people may secure that which
will enable tlcetic to get seed and feed for
spring use. Without such help I don't
see how our farmers are to put out crops
and find feed for their teams , as private
means are wholly inadequate to such
purposes. L have heard that some oppose -
pose it because , they say , the bankers
will make money by it. To all such I
would say , how can any hank or individual - ,
ual make anything , svlcen the law plainly
stipulates that the permanent school
fund is to be invested in these bondsand ,
should this fund run short , the law stipulates -
ulates and says that tfie bonds cannot be
sold for less than their face value.
Others , I learn , say that it is simply a
scheme. If to aid by personal work any
plan that will assist our destitute people
in procuring that which will enable them
to till the soil and provide means for
their sustenance and those dependent on
theca for a living now and in the future ,
is aimp'y ' a aclicme , I have simply this to
say , all should be glad to engage in such
a scheme. This law provides means by
which each county can take care of its
own people , and any one who refuses to
help biniself and neighbor in time of
disaster and trouble , is unworthy the aid
and assistance the destitute among our
people are now receiving from their loyal
and generous countrymen from almost
every state of our common country.
Of course , to vote bonds on the county
will impose a tax on some of our people
who will receive no direct benefit frouc
the proceeds of the bonds. I refer to the
business men of our cities and towns.
But they should be willing [ and I believe
they will bej to bear their share of this
burden , on the principle that if the country -
try don't prosper , they cannot. Any
means that tvi11 aid the fainters to grow
large crops , raise plenty of cattle and
hogs , is also an aid to the businesss prosperity -
perity of the cities and towns.
This is no time for us to dally , and to
charge one another with all kinds of
schemes. We need aid and assistance.
Let us go to work loyally and patriotically -
ally and do all is our power to 1iut Red ; f
Willow county where she belongs , in the
front rank amusng the counties of our
great and growing young state. Lay
aside all personal and political feeling ,
and work for a common end-the pros-
nerity of all the people and every inter-
est. Some of the counties have already
called their elections. This [ Phelps ]
countycalled their election , yesterday.
I I regard it as a matter of business , a
means to an end , that end the prosperity
of our people and county. As such i
trust all will regard it. I hope this will
meet with your approval , and if you
deem it of sufficient importance , publish
it in your valuable paper. Withi kind
regards I remain , very truly yours ,
