We ac knowledge a pleasant call Irom this genial and companionable ge n tl e m an. The Burlington yards are filled with huge walnut logs sawed from timber in the north part of the county and being shipped to eastern markets. This is the most valuable timber grown to day. Walnut is very scarce and is becoming more so. A man with a walnut grove composed of trees of good she has a bonanza Ml The young lady of whom we recently spoke without mention ing any name as having made a pert remark to a kindly old lady who remonstrated with her for the manner in which she was holding her skirts , has sent us a perky little note saying it isn't true.

Even though the admonition is not a daily necessity in Falls City such crowds as have been on the streets for several Saturdays past make it necessary for people to keep to the right in walking. Last Saturday afternoon a report er had great difficulty in making his way down stone street be cause of the fact that the other fellow persisted in walking on the wrong side. Walk as you drive turn to the right everybody and see how much easier it is to get along. Trade with the business men who extend an invitation and heart- welcome through the col umns of the papers. You are positive that he wants your trade and is not too close and penurious toask for it. The business man who is too close to ask for trade in the home paper might be too close to give down weights or full measure. The wide awake business man is ever offering in ducements for trade. Watch the columns carefully and tell them that you saw such in his adver tisement. He will appreciate it every time. Oranges ISc per dozen at Har- low's. James Morris came tlo\vn from Stella Sunday.

Meyers of Ilamlin , Kan. , will preach at Silver Creek next Sunday morning and at Preston Sunday evening. There are still a few who are in arrears * on subscription. Either call or send us the money. The account is due and the money is needed. Rev. Smith has fixed up a novel and successful shower bath at the Elks quarters. He tried it with somewhat startling results last Monday. When court convened one morning last week the following ex-sheriffs were seated b } ' the lawyers table , Alex Kerr , Riley Wilson , W. P. Fergus and John Hossack. A prominent lawyer said on the street the other day that he had been practicing law for a great many years and the present jury was composed of the most representative men Jic had ever seen in all his experience. The Tribune acknowledges the receipt of a fine calender from that enterprising , willing firm , Cooper & Linn , of Humboldt. As usual the best is none too good for these gentlemen and this sea son's calender i s certainly a beauty. In after years when the future publishers of The Tribune go to the old files of the paper to republish - publish what happened ten or twenty years ago , let the follow ing be recorded : On Sunday , January 28 , 1906 , several picnic parties enjoyed the warm and balnvy day in the woods , kicking the dead leaves about , eating pickles and pic , and lying upon the brown sod watching the fleecy clouds lloat lazily across the sky. Here is a problem for the school boy. A farmer has a twelve gal lon pail full of milk , a little girl calls with a five gallon pail and asks for five gallons of milk ; at the same time another little girl comes with a three gallon pail and wants but one gallon. How is the farmer to measure the one gallon of milk with the three pails ? The first one sending in the answer will be credited with a year's subscription to The Tribune. Falls City boys showed up well in the base ball averages last year. John Holland was rated as tied for third place in first base fielding averages though he should have been counted first as the two men ahead of him played in a very few games while Hol land played" in 124. Jane Gett- man was first of the outfielders in the eastern league with an average of 87. Next year we will publish the averages of Ruegge , Sears , Poteet , Follinger , Cornell and the other boys who arc so sure to make good in fast company. \ Fine new crop Rico at Harlow's . * .
