The sermon of Rev. H. L. Powers
last Sunday evening was specially in
tended for young men, the text being
from Zechariah 2-4, "Run speak to this
young man." The subjects dwelt upon
were the greatness of the power of young
men, physically, mentally and in in
fluence; the high honor shown to them,
angels are earnestly concerned for
them, Christ died to save them to
the uttermost, ministers of the gospel
labor in their behalf and parents follow
them with their unending love; the liv
ing message is to tell them of their once
happy home, of the counsel and example
of their parents, that life is very prec
ious but uncertain, and that there is a
better world beyond; the dignity of
Christian character, which brings joy to
the home cercle, gives dignity to society
and honor to the church. A large con
gregation was present.
The thoughtful husbandman is
busily engaged now, on occasions, in his
work-shop, looking over plows, harrows,
seeders, cultivators and harness, so that,
when spring-time comes for sure and
all, he will be abundantly ready for the
work which will then fall to his lot all
in a heap. "A stitch in time," applies to
the farmer's work as well as it does to
that of the good house-wife, as likewise
the fact that "delays are dangerous" or
at least, sometimes, expensive. Nebras
ka, so it seems to the Journal observer
today, can reasonably look forward to
the coming season as one of abundant
crops. Get the live-stock to eat and
help the building up of manufactures
for a better local market, for all your
farm products.
As to Those Journals.
Mr. Editor: We notice in the last
issue, in regard to the Monroe package
of Journals said to have been lost, that
we would hear something drop if it oc

Some people have a notion that the
way to advance the business interests of
a town is to create an exaggerated idea
-of its importance; magnifying a thousand
fold (less or more) its actualities in
short, lie about it, in the newspapers,
play the world as "suckers." Thero is
such a thing as "putting the best foot
forward," which, of course, is all right.
Reasonable people expect this, but to
represent things away beyond what they
are, is a wrong theory to act upon, and
produces disgust. Take your town just
as it is and make the most of it, by
honest, hard licks in its favor. Build up
all the interests you have here; encour
age others to come that will find an un
occupied field of work and will them
selves prosper; talk, work for the town
and the whole town. When prosperity
is general, all have a share in it.
The towns of Nebraska are all pretty
much in tho same condition they need
manufacturing industries to make bettor
home markets. The local trade of the
larger towns, owing to the increase of
railroads, is being cut off by smaller
towns springing up, and nothing but
manufacturing and jobbing interests
which will bring money from the outside,
will answer as a substitute. The way to
do anything is to, at least, begin consid
ering what ought to be done, determine
on what can be done, then go to work at
the doing of it. All talk will not ac
complish much. "Go ahead, boys," is
never so strong a phrase as "Come along,
boys." A little factory right on the
ground is much better than a big castle
in the air.
We are pleased to hear that most of
our country schools are taking quite an
interest in preparing matter for the
state exhibit at Fremont on the 29th of
March. Work of this kind should be
general in our schools as a regular ex
ercise. We are of the opinion that the
directors could not expend the small
snm which the paper costs, for a better
purpose. Written work in our schools
will give to the exercises a conciseness
and definiteness of exercises greatly
needed. Indeed the solution of the
great "language problem," whioh has
troubled teachers so long, seems to lie
in this direction. We hope soon to see
these written exercises become a part of
the daily program of every school in our
countv.
Notice!

Bros, old stand, Columbus, Neb., on Sat

Last Thursday at the meeting of
the City Council, R H. Henry, super
visor for the township being present,
the bid of Wm. A. Barnett of Dayton,
Ohio, for our bridge bonds was accepted.
On the city bonds, 330,000, the premium
offered was 3270; on the township bonds,
310,000, a premium of 390, interest ac
cruing from Deoember 1st, 1887, to be
long to the purchase. All around, this
is considered a very good sale and the
city and township authorities are en
titled to no little credit for it. The
work of spanning the Loup with a perma
nent bridge will go forward as soon as
the season opens. Good enough.
