HI Some lime since the idea of having a H salesday in McCook regularly at stated H intervals was suggested to us and brief r mention was made at the time of the H ! . .idea which in some placesis a success , HL as .following . from the Farmingtpn , K Illinois , Bugle , indicates : "Farmington' .s B first salesday was a success. There was Bl a large crowd in town all day yesterday , K all the merchants had a good business f\ and the street sales were a great success. Hitching racks were at a premium , even Hr the private hitching racks in the resi- V dence streets being loaded. On the streets eighty head of horses were sold ; K > forty head of cattle , hogs , buggies , Bf \ liousehold utensils , potatoes , and sev- WL - eral merchants added to the interest by WL putting up sacks of flour , suits of clothes B and other articles. " Hjt A Revised Came Law. B A thinking editor has revised the game K laws according to his own notion of B things , whether it will meet the sanction H of the lawmakers of the state or not. The B aforesaid pencil pusher summarizes in HPk this manner : Book agents may be killed K from October i to September i ; spring By poets from March i to June i ; scandal Bf1 mongers , April I to December i ; urn- MS brella borrowers , August I to November Iff I and February rte May i ; while every I4 * man who accepts a paper two years but 1 } when the bill is presented says , "I never \X ordered it , " may be killed on sight with- I T out reserve or relief from valuation or Wv& appraisement laws and buried without fist benefit of clergy. WixW ! ? Soaking Rains. Ku Nebraska was thoroughly soakedclose P $ of last week , the rainfall varying from pk two inches in this section to as much as m four inches in other localities. This B steady downpour has placed the soil in frm splendid condition , and all who have y& not already sown their fall wheat , have % * been pushing that work with all possible f speed , this week. The prospects are y.m now considered very encouraging for a yr * \ crop of fall wheat , indeed some think It | f certain. The soil has not been in so fine tjL condition since iSSo , and the farmers are | r putting in the grain with the brighest ! f prospects in view. ffi You Will be Entertained. vfr Homer C.
