"Jim" Scott returned from the
west, Sunday. He looks in excel
lent health, and is as lively and good
humored as ever. He wouldn't
have believed what he knows now
about that country, haying seen it.
He left with us a nice sample of his
corn and potatoes, raised on Phil.
Cain's farm.
Anderson has shipped one or
two cars of fat hogs east every week
during the summer, thus far. He
says the shipments through the pork
season this fall and coming winter
will be lighter than for the last four
years, owing to the short corn crop,
and the location of so many ship
ping stations contiguous to Colum
bus. If yon want to get seed for early
corn select that which came earliest,
and of that take the ear nearest
the ground, aud then take the ker
nels next the stock, or at the big end
of the ear. One who knows says
these will mature ten days earlier
than those at the little cud. There
is not nearly enough attention paid
to seed grain.
President Hayes, Gen. Sherman
and Secretary Ramsey passed west
ward on a special train Friday even
ing. Their arrival was rather un
expected, and but lew of our cit
izens had the pleasure of meeting
them. A conversational meeting
between the distinguished gentlemen
and citizens during the short stop of
the train was greatly enjoyed by all
present.
Farmers are busily"" engaged
making hay during intervals of sun
shine. When not too wet they cut
their com, nud thus, rain or shine,
provender is provided for the win
try days that are fast approaching.
Oue of our tanner? had his corn-put
in shock last year for a dollar an
acre; ho found, by feeding it to
milch cows, that it pays big. Other
farmers will find the saint; by trial.
See the advertisement else
where of the A. & N. for low fare

The prospects for an extensive aud
interesting agricultural fair aud ox
position were never brighter. There
are now sixty-four race horses on
the grounds, among them some of
the best trotters in the United States.
Among the novelties are a steam
chicken hatchery and an Indian war
dance.
David Anderson declares there
is somo honest and virtue yet left
in the farmiug community of Platte
county. Last Saturday he paid one
of our staid farmers $100 for hogs.
On Sunday he received by mail a
remittance of .$5 with statement that
a miscount had been made, and the
ovelus was thus honorably refund
ed. Lawyer Post unites with Mr.
Anderson in the belief that honesty
has its reward, even iu this world.
Rev. J. Q. A. Fleharty, who has
been in charge of the M. E. church
for the past three years, will be, by
the usages of that church, at the
coming conference given some new
charge. Since in charge in this city
he has labored faithfully. His ex
ample of strict moral rectitude and
close application to the business
and interests of the church, doubt
less, will take with him the best
wishes of our citizens for his future
prosperity.
Potatoes are destined to become
one of tho great, paying crops of
Nebraska, and every farmer's sou
and daughter should be taught to
know all they can, concerning their
culture. By the way, wo want Juo.
Tannahill to tell whether the eye of
a potato can bo divided for seed, for
instauce; suppose a potato has
twenty eyes; ordinarily, people
would (if they wanted to make the
greatest possible use of them) plant
twenty eyes. Would you cut tho
eyes, and plant the sections?
Geo. W. Brown, Esq., formerly
of this county, is, we notice, the
choice of Boone county's delegation
as representative for the district in
cluding Boone, Valley, Sherman and
Custer. George had good training
in a law school, and in Nebraska his
experience has been 6uch as to make
him acquainted with the needs of
the people iu the line of just legisla
tion. Besides, he is an earnest ad
vocate of anything ho takes an in
terest in, and would honor himself
and his constituency in the conduct
of his office.
"The Palestine Journey,'' at the
Congregational church next Sunday
evening, will include the descrip
tion of tho following places and
events. The shrewd stratagem at
Gilgal; the remarkable siege of Jer
icho ; the unfortunate man among
thieves; Bethany, Jerusalem, and
the Battle of Gibeon, when the Sun
and Moon stood still. Maps and
diagrams will be used as helps. A
special invitation to attend is given
to those who are not usually atten
dants upon any church iu the city.
Even body welcome.
The Boone county Argus of
Sept 3d, gives an accouut concern
ing one Nels Oleson's being charged
with kidnapping and seducing a
young girl named Mary Johnson,
living near Newman's Grove. He
had agreed to pay costs of suit, &c,
and .$25 to the parents, and return
their daughter. Oleson said the
girl was hid on Timber Creek. A
crowd of Norwegians, armed, and
provided with, a rope, proceeded
thither with him, when he changed
bis mind as to her whereabouts and
said she was at Scotia, Greeley
county. Some of the party escorted
him to Greeley co., with the de
termination to hang him if he fails
to produce the girl.

The resolutions on the nomination
of U. S. senator, passed by the Co.
Convention, were well presented by
Win. McAllister, chairman of the
delegation, but there were too many
ready to y'c the other way, to hope
for success.
A. M. Post was appointed as a
member of the committee on resolu
tions, and helped to secure the in
sertion of the plank on railroad
legislation. At one time, during-the
early part of the convention, af
ter tho organization had been
completed, when the "Ins" were
anxious to proceed at ouce with the
nominations, and when there was
an evident disposition on the part of
several members, at least, to decide
upon a platform of principles before,
rather than after nomination, Mr.
Post made an excellent little speech
in favor of a full, calm consideration
of principles applicable to the needs
of Nebraska, as a platform for the
Republican party, and then the nom
ination of candidates who would
best represent those principles and
carry them into effect. This, how
ever, being not according to the pro
gramme, was not approved, and the
principles were tacked on the tail
board of the baud-wagon as usual.
E. A. Fullford of Creston pre
cinct was in town Saturday morning
and was accosted by two Democrats,
one of them an ex-senator, the other
G. V. Hines of the Era, who told
him they understood he was a dem
ocrat, and thought he would be a
good man to canvass Creatou pre
cinct for the party. Fullford was
roused at once, aud wanted to know
by what authority they claimed h;m
as a democrat. -Why, said one ot
them, weren't you brought np a
southerner, aud weren't you in the
Rebel army ? He said ho was. Then
they went on to chide him about
deserting the ranks, when he gaye
them a blast that the will perhaps
not soon forget. He had been a
member of the party, and denounced
it roundly for its meanness, aud its
spirit of lawnessneos, and said that
he had becomo so thoroughly dis
gusted with it that he left it. He
had been District Attorney' in Loui
siana at one time, and had 120 in
dictments against the Ku KIux for
crimes committed, which he purposed
prosecuting, but was compelled to
leave the country. After telling the
two democratic leaders that they
were on the old rebel track he left
them to their thoughts. Doubtless
they will be more careful as to whom
they accost for party purposes.
-
There is generally more made in
the transfer of farm products than
there is by the original owner, and
farmers are coming to realize the
fact that it is to their interest to
know the market value of their pro
ducts, and be careful in making sales.
If you have butcher's stock of any
kind, or a quantity of butter, eggs
or poultry let the dealers kuow by
postal card or otherwise; in the
meantime keep well posted yourself
on the markets, and the relative
value of your product, aud when
you are offered a good price, sell. If
you know the exact weight also, it
will not be out of the way. In a
little bit of wool, 1,000 pounds, sold
in Columbus oue day, a dealer made
just $-10, iu about five minutes, only
weighing the wool. Tho farmer had
sold to him at 21, when another
dealer came along and bought of the
farmer (as he supposed) for 25. This
is but ono of many illustrations of
the importance of knowing the value
of products you havebr sale.

Valuable Fa:ts from a Safe
Source.
The affairs of this country havo
become so extended that it is only
by a carefully prepared synopsis in
the form of figures that one can hope
to understand what is really going
on. Hon. A. R. Spofford, the Li
brarian of Congress, is the only man
who has the facilities at his com
mand for collecting complete na
tional statistics and he does it with
the greatest care and accuracy. His
latest issue, "Tho American Treas
ury of Facts," has been sent us by
Messrs. H. H. Warner & Co , pro
prietors of the valuable Warner
Safe Remedies. This book is a min
iature cycloptedia in itself, contain
ing, in addition to a vast amount of
national matter, about all of value
that has transpired in this country
during the past year and reflects
credit upon the compiler as well as
upou the enterprise of Messrs. War
ner & Co. in selecting it.

John Williamson lost a child,about

There are any amouut of chinch
bugs on the corn. It is difficult to
tell which has done most damage,
the drouth or chinch bug. Corn,
however, will be much better than
anticipated.
The shower at Columbus on Aug.
15th, was a mere mist here, hardly
sufficient to lay the dust. There
was no rain her3 of any account
until the 23d. Since that'time there
has been a good deal, which helps
corn and grass very much, besides
putting the ground .ju condition to
plow. A good deal of hay was put
up before the rain commenced, and
much was cut laying on the ground.
At this time (Sept. 5th) it seems to
be clear once more. For the reason
of the light crop and the amount of
hay spoiled, it will be scarce here.

Democratic Co. Convention.
The Democracy of Platte will
hold their convention at the Court
House, Sept. 11, 2 p. m. The pri
maries arc to bo held at the usual
voting places in the several pre
cincts, where the polls will be open
from 2 to '1 p. m. Tho representa
tion will be as follows: Columbus
7 ; Butler 3 ; Bisraark 2 ; Monroe 1 ;
Shell Creek 2; Walker 1; Hum
phrey 2 ; Stearns 2 ; Shermau 2 ;
Creston 1; Pleasant Valley 2; Lost
Creek 2 ; Burrows 2 ; Looking Glass
l;Woodvillel.
We give the above summary for
the special benefit of our Democrat
ic readers, and as a matter of news
more or less interesting to Repub
licans. The only object ot this convention
is to select delegates to the State
convention which is to he held at
Hastings, Sept. 15th.
Of course the convention, thus
constituted, can not fairly authorize
itself to do more than select these
delegates, and this will necessitate
another convention and another se
ries of caucuses and primaries. Who
is responsible for this additional
expense?

The display of Auroras was very
fine on both evenings, and the num
ber of meteors moro than usual,
especially on the 10th at 1 a. m.,
when they seemed to shoot from a
point in the north in different direc
tions, bearing a feeble resemblance
to the great shower in 1833.
The mean temperature of the
month has been higher than the
same month for tho past five years,
except 1S78, and tho maximum
height of the thermometer has only
been equaled iu that period on one
occasion in the same mo. in '78.
On 16 days the thermometer at
mid-day ranged in the shade from
90 upwards and 7 of these from
100 up, and though this intense
heat parched the ground and dried
up the crops, yet almost as much
rain fell the latter part of the mouth
as fell in tho samo month for the
past 4 years combined.
