WT. A. McAllister tells us of a Sew
ard man he met recently who had plant
ed five acres to potatoes and tomatoes,
in alternate rows. He made enough
from the potatoes to pay all expenses,
and has his tomatoes for clear profit
1,000 bushels at 25 cents a bushel, $250,
or $50 an acre. This shows the value to
individuals, of a canning establishment
1 near by.
. H. Watts is a good carpenter and
mason, and is besides a farmor of no
mean proportions. At least we judge so
by what we saw of his place not long
since. At odd times in the last three or
four weeks he has been engaged in put
ting up one of the most convenient
barns we have seen in Nebraska. 20x00
feet, there are seven double stalls and
one single one on each side, and the mow .
will hold 55 tons of hay. The studding
are 2x6. We noticed several good points
about the dwelling house. First there
is a cellar under the whole house, the
excavation being probably three feet all
around from the brick foundation. A
solid brick chimney reaches from the
cellar through the two stories and out
at tho middle of the roof. The cellar is
lighted by four small windows, one on
each side. Mr. W. tells us that he used
considerable paper, putting it on tightly
as he knows of no non-conductor of heat
or cold equal to it back plastering be
tween the studding (lathing up and
down), he says is an excellent thing to
help keep the cold out. Everything
about the house shows thoughtful care,
with a viow to durability and solid com
fort. What took our eye, however, more
than anything else we saw at Mr.
Watts's was his apple trees, 75 in num
ber and loaded down with fine fruit. If
every 160 acre farm in Nebraska had on
it as fine an orchard, nobody here would
grumble about a scarcity of fruit.
Piano. Organs and Sewing Muchiiips.
In all the creations of man's genius no
two are alike. For the purpose intend
ed there are all degrees of merit, from
the poorest to the best. The test of
merit is actual use, and, when you are to
be the purchaser, it is yourself that
should be satisfied, pleased, delighted
with your purchase. It happens that
these articles mentioned above are sold
mostly by canvassing agents. Some of
these canvassing agents are very fair and
attend strictly to the business of show
ing the good qualities of their own wares,
and, when necessary, the actud defects
of some others; all are by no moans
bad; other canvassing agents are thor
oughly unscrupulous, and make such
misrepresentations as they think will
secure a sale of their goods. What wo
wish to suggest is this: we are selling
pianos, organs and sewing machines. If
you wish to buy either, please notify us
in person or by mail, and we will place it
iu your house, free of any cost to you, or
any obligation whatever; we will fairly
set forth its merits, and, if you purchase,
we will guarantee satisfaction. All war
ranted first-class. Don't buy until you
see us or our traveling salesman, G. W.

An election haB been called by the
city authorities to be held at the usual
voting places iu the city, between U a. in.
and 7 p. in., Oct. 17th, for the purpose of
voting on a proposition to issue con on
bonds of the city to .the amount of 30,
000 to aid in the construction of wagon
bridges across the Loup and Platte
rivers, tho bonds to le issued iu sums of
31000 each, made payable to bearer, to
be dated Dec. 1, '87, due and payable 30
years after date, 6 per cent, interest,
payable annually. The bridge across
the Loup in to be in Columbus twp. and
within a half mile of the Cth principal
meridian. The bridge across the Platte
is to be within 80 rods of the place where
the present bridge is located. These
bonds to be in lieu of the bonds au
thorized to lie issued at the election held
Aug. 28, '86.
The plans and specifications are to be
approved by the county board and the
city mayor and council, and the money
arising from tho sale of the bonds to be
disbursed under the direction of tho
mayor and council to aid Platte county
in the construction of the bridges.
Considerable interest was aroused
last week by a claim on the part of the
U. P. R. R. Co. to lots in the central
portion of the city that have been oc
cupied for some time by parties who
supiiosed their title was perfectly good.
"We do not understand that the Railroad
Company are intending to make any
body trouble, but whatever there is of
looseness in the matter ought to be
settled now, while it can readily be done.
It seems that from the charter of tho U.
P. they were entitled to a right of way,
200 feet each side from the middle of
their main track; through Columbus,
400x2000 feet, they supposed they ac
quired right of way by condemnation
proceedings (of which there seem to bo
no records here), and by purchase. It is
a fact that tho town appropriated $1511
Nov. '65, to get the right of way for the
road, and this included blocks 89 to 95.
It seems now strange that they should
lay any claim, by right of way, to any
thing outside this limit.
Following is a list of lots deeded

has been for several years a member of
the town board, and fully understands
and is iuteresU-d in township matters.
We learn that he has rented his farm
for the coming year, which will give him
