Wayside Notes
Hot Hotter Hottest
The celebration at Georgia passed off
all O K The weather was made to
order for celebration purposes the
crowd was good sized and good na
tured and everybody enjoyed them
selves to the full Nenzel furnished a
good delegation including Ed Sattar
lee and after looking Ed over carefully
we accused him of changing his tonics
but he said no it was only the effects
of a quiet conscience and plenty of
good grub
At no time in a residence of nine
years have Ave seen stock in a finer con
dition on the range or grass so good in
the sand hill3 and the few who have
J crops of corn planted all boasting of the
prospects of a good crop rI his will
aelp to svell the Battle cry of a ful1
dinner pail
When the children of Israel longed
for bread
The Lord did send them manna
And when Bill McKinley needed a
head
The Devil sent him Hanna
Reports say the owners of the town
cite of Georgia are about selling the
same to parties in Chicago who will
locate here and engage in business
We are often asked When is our
convention to be and wThat officers are
to be elected this fall Tell us and

COUNTING TIES
A good many of the unthinking par
asites of the railroad corporations will
soon have a lesson that they will re
member during the remainder of their
lives Many of them have sold their
souls to these cods of commerce who
will without the least compunction now
be cast adrifi although the have spent
their lives in the most adject slavery
to the interests of the corporations
When they come down the road for a
back door hand out treat them kindly
They are no earthly good to anything
but a corporation and now that the
corporations have sent them adrift they
vail be added to innumerable throngs
of m en out of woi k TLey cannot bar
ness a horse or hold a plow Thev
dont Know a pumpkin seed from a
celery plant and they are too old to
learn The farmer will have
J port them as he supports tens of thou-
sa nds of other non producers
There is a persistent rumor to the ef
fect that the accoucting offiers of the
Union Pacific Southern Pacific Oregon
Railway and Navigation company and
the Oregon Short Line are to be con
solidated
It is gcccially believed thatsome im
portant changes are about to be made
in the accounting department of the
Southern Pacific Railroad company
Several officials in the auditing depart
ment of the service have received no
tices requesting their immediate ap
pearance at Omaha What the out
come of iheir trip will be ig hard to say
but the close affiliation of the Union
and Southern Pacific roads seems to
point to the fact that there will be a
consolidation of the Union and South
ern Pacific accounting departments
