The newspapers of a town are its
looking glasses It is here you see
yourself as others see you You smile
on them and they smile back at you
you frown on them and you are repaid
in kind They are thp influx of a
town If the town is doing buiness
the newspapers will show it in its ad
vertising columns If the merchants
are spiritless shiftless fellows whoes
stores are jumbles of junk and jam
j the newspapers will show it by the
lack of space they take If you want
the world to know that you have a
live town you can only let it be known
through its newspaper1 Gordon

Col J T Oglesby receiving and
and shipping Indian Agent located at
this point has received a most com
mendable piomotion to the position
of Special U S Indian Agent with
headquarters at Washington D C
He will go to take his new position as
soon as his successor who is aho a
Georgia man fi es his bond and comes
to take charge of the government pro
perty at this place Mr O came from
Georgia to take the present position
and for the past two years has been a
resident of our city during which time
he has conducted the government bus
iness in a manner that well merited
his liberal promotion He is a genial
gentleman which together with his
social and pleasing manners has gain
ed him scores of friends who reirret to
see him depart and hartily congratu
late him upon his promotion The
best wishes of the Independent go
with the Colonel in his new location
The third annual convention of
the Nebraska State Irrigation Associa
tion is to be held at Sidney Neb on
Wednesday and Thursday December
18 and 19 The ablest speakers of
state and national reputation will be
present and discuss the subject of ir
rigation A better opportunity to
become familiar with this great ques
tion will never present itself The
question has settled down to this
point the lands of western Nebraska
must be irrigated or people will be
compelled to abandon their homes
Other counties are awake to this fact
and are making desperate efforts to
secure systems of irrigation What
is Cherry county going to do In
order to intelligently consider the prob
lem of irrigation we must first become
familiar with the subject Would it
not be advisable as a first step to
elect delegates to this convention and
as many men as possible who are in
terested in the future welfare of the
county to attend This convention
will certainly be a great educator and
the Independent is of the opinion
that a mistake is made if Cherrv coun
ty goes unrepresented Each county
official and member of the legislature
is entitled to a seat and each village is
entitled to five delegates Everybody
is invited to be present Something
must be done Who will net
