Poster of the Ladies' Cornet Band.
Under the direction of Clarence
Sageser , who , by the way , is as pro
ficient a teacher as can be found in
this section of the state , the Valen
tine Ladies' Cornet Band is making
rapid progress. The band meets
twice a week , and the interest they
take in their work and the aptitude
displa3red for the music would make
many a band composed of men
ashamed of themselves. The instru
ments played and the members of
the band aie as follows :
Tuba Mabel Ashburn.
B Bass Ada Stinaad.
Baritone Lulu Hooton.
First Tenor Emma Carlson.
Second Tenor Sarah Simpson.
Solo Alto Elsie Sherman.

Meeting of the Red Men.
At the last meeting of the great
council. Imp. O. R. M. . reservation of
Nebraska , held at Hastings , our fel
low townsman , C. H. Thompson , was
elected to the important position of
Great Junior Sagamore. This puts
him in direct line of promotion , and
ere long we expect to bow to his
eagle feathers and hail him as Great
Sachem. At the meeting of Sitting
Bull Tribe No. 22 , the local lodge , the
following chiefs were elected to serve
for the next six moons :
Prophet G. H. Q. Smith.
Sachem R. Anderson.
Senior Sagamore Walter Melten-
dorff.
Junior Sagamore J. W. Furry.
The various chiefs willbe raised to
their stumps at the lighting of the
council lire on the eighth run of the
twelfth sun , Cold moon , G. S. D. 409.
All good Red Men are. requested to be
present and assist in the august ceremony - :
mony attending the raising up of
those worthy chiefs.
John Dillon Coming.
We take pleasure in announcing
that arrangements have been made
for the appearance of the popular
comedian , John Dillon. That he has
been engaged for one of his inimit
able performances in Valentine will
be. welcome news to all. John Dillon
is a universal favorite. Some com
edians are admired only in certain
localities. Mr. Dillon never fails to
please. He has a new plaj' this sea
son that is making a great hit. It is
called "Bartlett's Road to Seltxer-
ville" and abounds in a world of fun ,
fully interpreted by genial John and
his clever company. The date is
fixed for Thursday evening , January
llth.
Notice to Business Men.
As we write we have before us the
letterheads of two hotels , a jewelera
lumberman , a general merchant aud
a druggist , all of which were printed
away from home : and yet , if one of
our citizens should presume to send
away for merchandise , each of these
men would roar like lions. It is true
that they can get stationery cheaper
in Omaha or other cities than they
can in Valentine , but we can also buy
their goods cheaper awa } ' from home ,
and we wish to give notice right now
that if this condition doesn't change
after January 1st , we will no longer
refuse the ads of department and
other foreign stores.
County Attcrney Breaks Shoulder Blade.
While out with tne coursing club
last Sunday forenoon , Andrew Morrissey -
rissey , our county attorney , became
separated from his companions , his
horse fell and he was thrown to the
ground so violently that his left
shoulder was smashed into fragments.
The accident occurred about twelve
-miles from town , near the reservation
line , and the injured man was brought
home in a bugg } ' , when Drs. Compton
and Lewis did all they could to r < T-
store the broken bones. At present
Mr. Morrissey is getting along very
nicelybut his accident is apt to crip
ple his left arm for lite.
Christmas at the Churches.
Christmas was observed at the
churches this year in a very appro
priate manner , and nothing was left
undone to please the little ones. Ex
cellent ' programs were rendered at
both the Presbyterian and the Meth
odist churches , the latter having as a
novelty instead of the old Christmas
tree which we were taught to rever
ence , a neat log cabin with appropri
ate decorations. The first named
church was beautifully decorated
with evergreens , a very neat "gable"
fronting the choir , and the house was
filled with old and young people.
The job department of this paper
had the pleasure this week of print
ing a nice lot of wedding invitations
for Mr. and Mrs. E. Stilwell , of Sim
eon , who intend inviting their friends
t the marriage of their daughter ,
Klla , to J. C. 'Rounds ' , on January 10.
Both the contracting parties are well
ib our readers.
