Jc Gross came down from Mad ison Monday, and westward went his way. He has been wanting to make the trip the last ten years. No doubt J he will find a wonderful couutry, but for solid outcome we don t believe Nebraska can be excelled. J. K. P. McCallum and wife of Madison have been married ten or a drzen years, without offspring until recently, so .the Chronicle reports. This equals the case of Mr. and Mrs. L. Jewell of this county. We have heird of several other instances of the kind iu Nebraska. Drs. Marty n & Schug have enter ed into partnership. Their card will be found elsewhere. The Journal cannot add to the reputation of these gentlemen, for ability, skill, fidelity and attentive care, and commends them as ministers of mercy to those stricken with pain. The attention of all citizens inter-e-ted in the deliberations of the com ing legislature ic directed to the call published elsewhere, and signed by our representatives elect. The meet ing may be made a very profitable one if citizens will turn out, and dis cuss live issues of the hour. Never growl because a newspa per fairs to give every scrap of news, so long as you take no pains to give the editor information. The average editor isn't a medium, or a mind reader, but gets his news just the same as a milkman gets milk, by pumping. Johnson Co. Journal. A correspondent has sent us a couplet touching the action of some of the democracy in certain portions ot the state, which says that "tney would vote for Tilden or a kangaroo, ind mortgage heaven for a beer keg or IWO. Vjur curreiuuucui mo the bow pretty long, but perhaps he regards himself as justified by poetic license. When monsters in human form are allowed to run at large after the commission of oue horrid deed, there is uo telling who will be the next victim of their base passions. The theory of punishment for crime rests upon the right of society to defend itself from injury and destruction. Too much leniency to criminals is too little protection to the weak. Sod houses are disappearing all over Nebraska, and good frame, brick or concrete houses taking their place. It will be only a few years when the sod house will be something of a curiosity. The Journal is still of the opinion that those contemplating the erection of buildings should in vestigate the merits of concrete,where gravel and sand can be had in abund ance. A notice of the quarterly confer ence of the Re-organized church of Latter-day Saints, was handed in too late for publication last week. One service was held last Saturday after noon, and three on Sunday, at their meeting-house on 10th street. Some of our people do not seem to know that this church is not iu any way af filiated with the organization under the teachings of Young, Taylor and others, and that the tenets of that body are opposed by their church on the grounds that they are a perver sion of the true gospel of Christ. We learn that Martin Bloedorn's team ran off Friday last, breaking the wagon iu several pieces. One of the horses was found no traces, as yet of the other. No person injured Thousands of-people are looking we-tward for new homes and largei enterprises. If you have any such am g your friends send them yourj local newspaper for a time. Every copv will give them a more correct idea of how things are here than they can gain through a letter. Try it. A Fable. During a drouth, the people came to a preacher who didn't believe in the physical results of prayer, and de manded of him to pray for rain. He turned the edge of their demand by promising to pray, if they would agree upon the time when they wished the rain to come. Alliance Meeting. Platte County Farmers' Alliance to be held at Platte Center, Saturday, December 16, 'S2, at 10 o'clock a. m. All subordinate Alliances are reques ted to send delegates. A special iu vitatiou to farmers. A good attend ance is solicited. Neils Olson, Pies. 31-3 S. J. Wheeler, Sec'y. Oil I Tor Jim Jleellaff. To the citizens of Platte county: You are respectfully requested, irrespective of party, to attend a mass meeting to be held at the Court House in Columbus, Saturday, Dec. 23d, at 2 o'clock, p. m., to discuss what legis lation you wish to have enacted, at the coming session of the legislature. W. A. McAllister, Chas. Schboeder, 32-3 ' -Frank North. Attention. In pursuance of a resolution of the City Council, passed at its regular meeting on Dec. 218S2, 1 respectfully invite the tax-payers of the city of Columbus to meet in the City Hall on the evening of Saturday, Dec. 1G, '82, to discuss the question of submitting to the electors of said city a proposi tion to bond the city to pay off its in debtedness. J. R. Meagher, Mayor. Ottest. A. B. Coffroth, Clerk. This is a pretty good showing for a young town, but Nebraska is grow ing briskly every where, aud the older cities must put on a little more stir, inject a little more energy into busi ness, strike out into wholesaling and manufacturing, if they want to keep ahead of the curreut. We clip from the Madison Chronicle: " For the month ending to-day, there has been shipped from this station 25 cars of corn, 15 cars of oats, 3 cars of wheat, 1 car of potatoes. 13 cars of hogs, and 1 of brick; total, 51 cars. The ticket sales amounted to over $700." JIohcv Waved i Jloney Made. Call and examine my large stock of hardware and stoves.

I guar antee quality. I guarantee satisfac tion. C. D. Barlow, 32-tf Next door to State Bank. The Kendalls. A full house greeted the Kendalls Monday evening, aud their rendition of Guy Manneriug was a rare pleas ure to the lovers of Sir Walter Scott's romance. The play is written to give particular prominence to the charac ters, Meg Merrilies, Dominie Samp son, Guy and Julia Mannering, Henry and Lucy Bertram. Mr. Kendall, as Meg Merrilies, left nothing to be de sired as an interpretation of the weird character ; Henry Russell as Dominie, was simply "prodigious." The other parts were all well sustained, and the large audience were well pleased. The Kendalls have always been great favorites with Columbus people. Thanksgiving day was more closely observed than usual in Colum bus. Some of the business houses were closed during a portion of the day. Uniou services were held by the churches, Rev. Wilson preaching the sermon from the text "O give thanks unto the Lord, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the people." The chief subjects touched were, the object of meeting together; thanksgiving to God not a modern idea, as far back as history carries us the people gave lhanks to God for food, raiment, and deliver ance from enemies. We have great reason to be thankful for the blessing of the past year. God has blessed U3 in our religious capacity as Christians, the Father of love and mercy has watched over the great work in our country, the church has flourished in all parts of America. He has giveu us bountiful crops, and prospered every branch of human industry, He has protected us from the ravages of foreigu enemies, and kindly preserved us lrom civil discord.

Farmers are busily engaged in husking corn, except a few who have finished. Cattle are in fine condition for the time of year, and the object of most of iur farmers seems to be to improve the quality and increase the quautiSv, which of course is very wise. One of our herd boys is having some trouble of late. A boy who i herding for Messrs. Gene aud Burns has been assaulted several times re cently by a family of Polauders. Yes terday about 1 o'clock p. ra. he was seen going home at the rate of "2:40" and when he arrived he rushed into the house almost exhausted, aud his looks were evidence of foul plav. His ?tory told is this: "A Polander boy of about twelve summers came to him with a shot-gun on his shoulder, tar ried a short time, using very obscene language, then going away a short distance turned and fired ou him, sending a volley of shot all around him,'f but fortunately none hit him. If this be trne, the law should take hold of him and teach him to find some other target than this poor, inoffensive herd boy. Thanksgiving passed off very quiet ly with us. A young Mr. Brown and Miss Louie Reed were visiting at Mr. Getts'. Miss Reed is quite an intelligent young lady. Also Miss Swartzley of Columbus was the guest of Miss Laura Butler ou Thanksgiving, and visited our school the following day. Our school, beiug taught by C.J. Garlow, is in fine progress. The Bismark Union Literary Socie ty was reorganized the lGth nit., with C. J. Garlow, president, C. W. Getts, secretary, Mary Weisshand, treasurer, Wni. Weisshand, Louis Heideu, mod erators, aud Wm. Weisshand, janitor. Meetings are held every Thursday night. The program for each night consists of declamatious, essays, de bate, queries, music and occasional select, reading. The question for de bate last Thursday night was Jiesolv ed, That compulsory education should be adopted iu Nebraska. Affirmative Thomas Wilson, C. W. Getts ; nega tive Miss Louie Reed, C. J. Garlow. Decision in favor of negative. The next subject for debate is Resolved, That a man will do more for his wife (or intended) than for his mother. All peaceable persons are iuvited to attend the society and participate. We now have about twenty-five active members and would like to have twenty-five more. Our object is to make it one of the best societies in the county. . Respectfully, Dec. 4th, 18S2. Zebhy. Real Estate Transfers. Reported for the Journal for the week ending last Saturday, by Gus. G.

The little congregation which had gathered at the school-house Sunday dispersed, somewhat disappointed, at the announcement of Mr. Calder's inability to be present. Mr. Jos. Stuart, we understand, is thinking some ot making Dakota his future home. Mr. Stuart has proved, in all bis dealings and intercourses, to be a gentleman, and we regret to have him bid farewell to us so soon. But, if the Dakotabs succeed in capturing him, we will congratulate them on their success, as they will find him to be a genuine good citizen, in favor of every movement that is calculated to advance society. Mr. Robt. McKeown, another of Pleasant Valley's progressive men, will soon take his departure for Nuckols county, where he already owns a farm. Mr. D. J. Drebert, P. M. of Hum phrey, has moved the U. S. mail into his new office, a pretty frame struc ture. Mr. Calder, the M. E. preacher, is now living in the parsonage, which has recently been erected, in Hum phrey. Rev. Pangburn of Creston address ed a congregation in the new scbool house at Humphrey last Sunday night. Yodnc Reporter. Nov. 30, 1SS2. Platte Center Items. Mr. Editor : Many thanks to Dr. Lease for the diagnosis of the calf aud hog disease, and to you for publishing it. The Journal thus renders servi ces to farmers nt.'d stockmen which are worth many times the subscription price ot the pnpp r, and by thus mak ing it a helper you will no doubt meet with appreciation in the waVjOf new subscribers until the Jourval be comes an indispeusible visitor iu thousands of homes. Y'our short notice of the Sabbath -chooj concerto! Platte Center,though those interested feel grateful for even that, is haadly sufficient for the occa sion, aa quire an assembly was pres ent and a considerable uumber, old aud young, participated. It was held iu Wm. Bloedorn's new store bnild iug, and the room,"of "considerable size, was well . filled. We noticed whole families from Lost Creek, Shell Creek, Granville, Postville and from the neighborhood of Platte Center. Rev. A. Heurich couducted the servi ces, and Rev. A. J. Wright led iu the devotional exercises. Quite a num ber of the teachers aud scholars of the three schools iuvited contributed to make the occasion interesting. Good siugiug accompauied by Mrs. Bloe dorn's organ, declamations, dialogues, readings and short addresses made the time fly. Not to be lengthy we will onh mention a few particulars. Misses Price, daughter of the Platte Center miller, sang finely "Strike, strike for the Victory !" Misses Steuhens rendered "I gave my lite for thee," and Miss Armstrong sang a beautiful solo, "Scatter seeds of kind ness!' but a little fellow by the name of Arthy Williams "brought down the heuse." A collection of something over 5 was taken at the close. Thus euded the first concert of these three schools, aud it was so good that many say, as the musicians : "Da Capo.'" (repeat). It was suggested by Mrs. Nickersou, superintendent of Platte Center Sab bath school, aud the sequel shows that her idea was a good oue. Vim. Communicated. lemocrutic Record. The following is submitted as a re ply.to much that has ot late been said by democratic newspapers and cor respondents upon the record of differ ent political parties. I cam'i 'ly beli eve that u well informed demo crat will deny its entire truthfulness, or that a worse record could be writ ten of any other party. A record of the writhing slave and tor turing rack, The guarding hound and bloody lash, The pantina steed and swearing train. When the chase was won with human game. Such 6ft the fate of true Caucasian brave, Though to the manor born, if bred a slave, With anus unclad and feet unshod. And blood was left upon the iod. And onward bent with feebler bounds, Aud onward came the racing hound-. Adown the jrleu 'uetth waving vines A death shout rose to the morning pines. The tun went dov n on his blood aud clay. Where the black-winged vultures round their irey. The word went round aud all believed That death and democrats one slave had freed. Such the good old time before the war. When they held power, the hound and lash was law, And the slaves rtyins; to this free land. They hounded to death at the South's demand. A ti.ue there-was, from me no harshness could arise Against the meanest thing that crawls beneath the skies, I've learned to hate democracy what'eer their claim may be. And deal them nlow" for blow, when they strike against the tree. Long they ruled with vulture and hound, In meanness now thev are more profound, They bred rebellion that cursed our clime. Ami cursed the defenders of our shrine. They hate the free, their recoril is a shame. I've bent my bow: such traitors are my game. " That cvpherinj; old fraud of Gramcrcv Park, And the shot-gun fraud of the sunny South, With seat state and vote stealing and cypher conspiring. With bloody shirt, red shirt, and ku-klux disgiii'sin. Their crime-cursed creed, disgraced in all its arts. Has left the mark of Cain upon their hearts. rik-ro.N, Nov. 2.S 1SS2. D. D. D. Letter L.It.
