A good many words of commenda
tion on last week's Journal have
reached these headquarters. We would
like to be able to print such a paper or a
better one every week of the year, and if
the good people of this thriving city of
central Nebraska will cause things to
happen that are worthy of mention, we
will endeavor to keep the record in
proper shape.
The last number of the National
City (Cal.) Record, has this to say of our
former townsman: "Mr. L. D. Clark is
building a handsome residence and barn
in the northeastern part of the city,
near the line of the motor road. He has
a fine location, commanding a splendid
view of the bay and surroundings, and
when completed he will have a beautiful
and attractive home."
The Journal job department ib pre
pared to furnish, on short notice, all
kinds of commercial work such as letter
heads, note headB, bill heads, statements,
circulars, envelopes, cards, dodgers, pos
ters, etc.; visiting cards; lawyers' briefs;
pamphlets; catalogues; sale bills, etc.
Satisfaction guaranteed. Orders by
mail promptly attended to. Address,
M. K. Turner k Co., Columbus, Nebr.
As we were going home at nine
o'clock Wednesday evening, we dropped
into R. C. Boyd's place of business, sup
posing that he was about to close for
the night, but he informed ub that he
was just beginning on a three-hours' job
of spouting, which he had to put up the
next day. If somebody don't take pity
on him, give him less work to do, or
Bend him a good man to help him, he
will find himself in the better world.
A game of base ball Sunday last
between the "Satanites" and "Turkey
ites" resulted in a score of 22 to 25 in
favor of the former, the game closing
with the sixth inning on account of
shere exhaustion of the players from
racing the ball all over the bottom.
Pete Davis made the most brilliant play
of the game a home run from a hit that
didn't quite reach the pitcher's box
thus gaining a record for himself for
fine base running.
jjeme xoung, wnose accident we
mentioned last week, is doing very
nicely. He says he was not trying to
get on the car, but was running along
side, fell into a hole, and the wind of the
train and the fall together drew him
toward the cars, with the result as given,
viz: the tearing of the flesh on the in
side of the right arm; he says if he had
not made an extra effort to throw his body
away from the train, he thinks his head
would have been cut off.
Even so talented a man as our young
friend Phelps of the Schuyler Herald
sometimes mak es mistakes. He says:
"The branch of the U. P. from Co
lumbus to David City, is an imaginary
one that is in no great danger of being
built. There seems to be no great de
mand for the road."
Time settles all these little matters,
and the Union Pacific, under the new
management, we imagine, will be found
wide awake to take advantage of this
link, as well as some others that could
be named, but need not now.
John B. Jackson, who has for years
been living on a farm in Platte county
Z miles southeast of Newman's Grove,
has concluded to try his fortune in
Washington Territory, going to Spokane
Falls, in the eastern part of the Terri
tory. That, he says, is a timbered
country, except in the valleys which are
very fertile, and government land can
yet be entered. He expects to go some
time daring the summer or fall and has
promised us to write to his old ac
quaintances through the columns of the
Joukkax, after he gets there. He sold
his farm of 160 acres to Banna Ericson,
late of Fremont, for $3Wa

THE MOTOR SYSTEM.
Sensible Words From Dan Condon.
Ed. Journal: Dear Sir: As it is a
long time since I wrote anything for
your valuable paper, you will excuso me
when I tell you I had nothing in my es
timation worth writing about until to
day while in Columbus I heard them
talking Motor railroad. Now, there is
nothing better to boom any locality
than unity of purpose. To that end I
advise the people of Columbus and
Platte county to unite as one man and
grasp this Motor system themselves and
build it before it is too late, for I tell
you if you don't some beardless boy from
Beacon street, Boston, will come and
build them in the near future, and
then we will say to each other ichat are
wc doing here? While I never was op
posed to public improvements of any
kind, I do say that if what has been
spent for waterworks in Columbus had
been reserved to help build those motor
roads in all directions from Columbus,
added to all the bonds we could vbte
under the law we could easily build fifty
miles of road, say 12 miles in four dif
ferent directious,all centering in Colum
bus; instead of having a population of
3,000, before tho next five years would
pass you would have a population of 10,
000, and to accomplish this, fellow-citizens,
you will have to bury your little
hatchets, shake hands over the past and
work for the good of Columbus and
Platte county. YTou must remember
that nature has done a good deal for
Columbus, and all she asks of her citi
zens is a little helping hand. I don't
expect to make it my home, but I will
always be glad to hear of her prosperity.
The benefit to be derived from the
Motor system is as much of a l)enefit to
the farmer as the merchant, when they
can send their wives to town and return
for 25 cents and not have to harness a
team to go ten miles on Saturdays,
often working hard all week.
So now, dear editor, I hope there will
be no faction grow up in your midst to
kill the best project ever offered.
Respectfully,
Dan Condon.

Things are not just what they seem.
In the spring the jolly fisher
Man doth hie him with a worm;
And with joy doth place the first one
On his hook to see it squirm.

Iiightly turns to thoughts of cream:
And her tender blue eyes sparkle
With a lovely ten-cent gleam.
