Rowley of Kennedy who has been in Cherry county for several years and is a success in the cattle business was * in our city last Friday to get a load of supplies. Mr. Row ley didn't forget the editor am1 by action more emphatic than a wordy visit made us realize that he wished us a happy and prosperous new year. We appreciate these efforts on the part of our patrons and during the coming year we hope to give them the best local paper that has hereto fore been published in the west. R. M. Faddis was a .pleasant visitor this week at the office of the DEMO CRAT and speaks words ot comfort and good cheer for the new year. Mr. Faddis , whose stock brand as R. M. Faddis & Co. , appears among our advertisers is one of the largest stock owners in the county. His brother-in-law , Wm. Steadman is a partner with him and their ranch is extensive with large numbers of cat tle feeding on their range. They have lately purchased the ranch of G. W. Burge which makes a valuble addition to their already large poss essions. Peter Wantz of Johnstown made us a pleasant visit last Saturday while he was in town attending to some land office business. Many ranchmen of this county are now do ing well raising cattle and life Is eas ier with them now than when they began here years go. Land was plentiful then : opportunities were numerous but hardships were many and privations were common to all who now live contentedly with sufflc ient incomes. These are the men who make a country worth living in and are entitled to some of the good things of life , B. B. Crouiu writes us a nice letter from Verona , Nebraska enclosing a dollar for another years subscription to the DEMOCRAT. We heartily ap preciate Mr. Cronin's kind words and. bis encouragement will help us to make a greater success thanformer ly. If everyone could scatter seeds of kindne s as some do our world would be a brighter place in which to live. The sparkling gems , the diam onds , pearls and precious metals are as nothing compared to our language which can be coined into expressions that are almost sublime and before -which melts every obstacle and all is at our command if we only emb ace the opportunity. There is no copy right on the English language , thank God. and it's free use in scattering sunshine will bring a sure reward to the user. The good will and wishes of the DEMOCRAT extends to the worthy people who show courtesies to us. Mr. Cronin is thankful for a bountiful crop and from the tone of his letter to us we know he is deserv- Mrs : Goldie Beed is visting at the home of her parents. Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Fettijohn.

" There is stored in the mind of every reader of this paper at least one story worth telling , for no life is without some experience , adventure or spice of romance out of the ordinary hap pening. Ever since the human i'cfogne began to wag , a clever tale has been keenly relished by all , but very few people who have something to tell gain the public ear through some partiality or because some one who happens to be a leading spirit does not give ear nor will he permit of friendship between that person and any of his friends for fear of a possible rival for their affections or smiles. So strong is this prejudice in some , that instead of wavering in the least , they will risk a complete som ersault of public sentiment which would throw them forever in the background rather than that some rival should gain an audience by thHr consent. Some haughty spirit vtfeild roam unmolested .where a high collar and haughty mien coupled with a sonorous voice and anexhaulted po sition was the idol of the masses if that were of constant duration. There comes a time when even those on the pinnacle of fame must look for the support of the people to main- tain their position. An empty head may rattle loud and lonj , * . bump up against competitors who may also be lightweights but with a diversion of ideas and changes in social condit ions , the crooked straw with the me andering course will no longer be an indication of "the way the wind blows. " Public sentiment does not always take a straight course and in cessantly follow it but is no less se vere in condemnation of a crooked path or guide post after having once been led astray by it.
