Next spring he in tends to engage in the sorghum business on a quite extensive scale. Tho World wishes him success wherever he may go. Leigh World. Miller Walford, an old soldier, has moved from Leigh to this city. He has been engaged jn tho manufacture of sorghum syrup, and expects to make that his business here. We believe he will do well, as there is no sorghum mill close by, and it is, an industry that pays well on the investment. Ernest Slattery, a fine looking young north Nebraskan, a former Co lumbus lad, arrived in the city Sunday evening for a few days' visit among old acquaintances. His home, Chadron, is just now pretty lively with comers and goers, more or less interested in the movements of the Indians. -Miss Nettie Anderson gave a party at the residence of her father, to her many friends last Wednesday evening. About twenty couple were present to watch the old year out and the new year in. Card playing and music was the order of the evening; supper was served from 10 to 12 o'clock, and everybody present passed an enjoyable evening. We cannot refrain from saying that The Farmers' Club, as conducted by our farm neighbors, is one of the most in teresting and profitable organizations imaginable, whether considered as an association of neighliors meeting for pleasant social intercourse, or as citizens engaged iu the same occupation and met for mutual instruction ami profit.

He tracked his man to the bluffs, and thence to where he hauled the wood. He said his folks had told him to gather drift wood on the creek, but he had hauled away wood that had been piled up, and to get at it, had taken down a wire fence. Mr. Luschen don't want any more of this kind of work around him. The next man who under takes it will find himself in a hot box, and George after him. Suit has been brought in the United I tvnv ai.

'he constant demand of the traveling nNic to ttie far est lor a comioruiiue andt the same time an eeonou'.cal inodeXf traveling, has led to the estab lishment of what is known as Pullman Colonist Sleepers. These cars are built on the same gen eral plan as the regular first-class Pnll man Sleeper, the. only difference leing is that they are not upholstered. They are furnished complete with good comfortable hair mattresses, warm blankets, snow white linen, curtains, plenty of towels, combs, brushes, etc., which secure to the occupant of a berth as much privacy as is .to be had in first class sleepers. There, are also separate toilet rooni9 for ladies and gentlemen, and smoking is absolutely prohibited. For full information send for Pullman Colonist Sleeper Leaflet. E. L. Lomax, General Passenger Agent, Omaha, Neb. Daaran. The new year came in with storm. The days begin to grow longer and the winter may grow stronger. The town of Duncan just now pos sesses more than ordinary physic-al aid. Two doctors are dwelling and practicing within her liorders with a diploma, or without, is not yet ascertained. The post-office at this place has been made third-class. Money orders and postal notes can lie had, and thus it is more convenient to the people in the neighborhood. Our town affords many resources that could .be developed and operated with profit. The best kind of brick clay in abundance, also sand and water, wood and coal as cheap as anywhere in the county, and unemployed labor in any amount. A party of three men from the east stopped here last week with the inten tion to investigate the hills north of town to ascertain whether they contain anything precious. s- The Farmers' flub.

The New Year was ushered into this valley Wednesday evening three hours ahead of time, with old Boreas as usher. Boreas remained over New Year's day with us. John McGill, jr., moved with his fam ily into the city last week. Mr. McGill has had great Buffering of sickness and death in his family the past year, him self just recovering from a long siege of typhoid fever, during which time his business and stock suffered. We com mend him to the good people of Colum bus. Al. Butler of your high school has been improving his vacation, herding a bunch of cattle on the farm of O. Nelson in Colfax county. Farmers are hauling large loads of wood past here; something unusual; the wood is for fuel and comes from Shell Creek. Scarcity of corn cobs is the reason. It was George Kirkmau that got the new wagon instead of M. Sheedy, as your scribe had it last week. Mr. S. will consult the columns of The Jour nal to assist him in finding what he wants liefore purchasing a wagon. Its a boy, at C. .1. Wagners near Platte Center, is what was wnfted through the air Sunday. Mr. Wagner taught our school last winter and we heartily congratulate him on his new ac quisition. Pete Gongerty, cousin of O.

Mr. Fret! Dierks of Saunders county has made a Hying visit to relatives in Platte county to Mr. Heulmnnn, E. Steinhaus and R. Kranse; at the latter place he was permitted to take the mid wife home who had just brought either a little boy or a girl not to offend we will let the reader guess and will not tell, because really, Mr. Editor, your writer don't know which. Mr. E. Steinhaus is suffering some in hie chest, having pressed it too hard against an auger. A. G. Quinn of Platte Center suffers tho very same thing, hav ing pressed too hard against a bent water pipe. We will trust that either case is not serious. Mr. Julius Held opening the store door the smothering fire burst out iu smoke and flame suddenly and scorched his hand and neck somewhat. Dr. Okey was called and reports it not of any serious consequence, if well tended and he knows how.

Mrs. Clark Cooncy nnd sister, Mrs. W. A. Davis of Nance county were again called to this city last week on account of the illness of their father, Edward Hays, who is seriously afflicted with dropsy. ,nie'editor of the Iowa Homestead is personally known to many of our readers, and into the publication over which he presides he has the faculty of getting more of practical worth to the square inch of white paper, than any similar publication we know of. life is too short, and the demands of our west ern farm life are too many and urgent to waste time reading eastern farm period icals mainly taken up with something appropriate only to their own locality.

Fiedler was about forty-seven years old, leaves a family, and no reason can be given for his rash deed. No weapon could be found, but his throat was cut and tho body had been mutilated by hogs, before found.

January 26 is set as answer day. In any event, those who hold warranty deeds from responsible parties I need have no fear of results. l-?hie business and professional men of Platte and adjoining counties, which, of course, includes everybody who has business to transact with newspapers, or through newspapers with the public; all who wish to reach the public for purpo poses of tl ir own individual concern, are hereby .nformed that we will dupli cate the prices of any of our contempo raries. This refers to advertising and to rates for job work of all kinds.

We have no old job-presses, and do the best ot commercial and legal printing. tf ner as to make us wonder if we bad been dreaming that "times were hard" in Nebraska. The new secretary, Mr. Dickenson, assumed the duties of his office, Mr. Clark the president, being absent, the vice-president, Mrs..l. H.Reed, presided, and the program was carried ont to the letter. Mrs. Stewart's "Current Events" were very interesting ami this feature of the program proves to lie lietter than we had anticipate!. The next meeting of the club will lie held nt the home of Mr. A. H. Ives, Sat urday, Jan. 31st. We aim to meet at eleven o'clock a. m. and not liegin the exercises until after dinner, but since the change of time, the memliers have not been so prompt. When the meeting was at A. C. Pickett's a great many of the members were so late that they did not get there at all. At every meeting there is to be a question-box, into which any number can place questions that they wish dis cussed at that meeting if possible; if not, the executive committee will assign the questions to different members of the club for the next meeting. This is for the ladies just as much as for the gen tlemen. Reporter.

Tho weather this winter has been very much appreciated. Martin Reagan has adorned his place with a new wind mill, and as the lowing herd comes slowly o'er the lea, they eye it with the sincerest joy, and even the ducks' quack is louder and clearer than before. Martin it pays to make such improvements, as will bring joy to your domestic animals. Johnnie Pittman and Otis Clark at tended the dance New Year's eve at Fitz's hall. Joe Drinnin is feeding one-fifth of a car load of cattle. Last Saturday night was a magnificent evening for the party at Charley Moore's. What is the matter with Fred Stenger that he does not get his corn shucks ex terminated? Well it was not a surprise to us, for we were expecting it Ed. We think it quite wise in you to accept a fair young bride as a New Year's present. We are glad you intend to bring your better half and live in our vicinity. Cyclops wishes you much joy and happiness through your journey of united life. Lute Steward did not attend the minstrel show the other night "Oh no!" Wm. Lockhart and A. C. Pickett have again swopped buggies. The Reed alliance gave a dance New Year's eve at Fitz's hall, the participants tripped the "light fantistic" toe till the we sma' hours. Dr. Willy, who has been attending little Harry Erb during his sickness, re ports him as fully recovered. It is a shame that some farmers allow their bogs and other animals to ran at large, when they see they are doing their neighbors injustice and damage. CrcLors. reported. The last alliance meeting of this dis trict was a success; the meeting was called to order by the president; they also changed their night of meeting to Monday night instead of Saturday night, this gives the boys a chance to go to town on their favorite evening. The Bug must announce the true oc currence at the alliance meeting lost Saturday night. Johnnie Marshall was present until order was called, when he immediately excused himself and desert ed the house, John not being a member, it was undoubtedly known that ho was aware of what was coming. Jacob Guter was down to Schuyler last Monday. The Bug has faintly understood that Miss Annie Galley is going east on a visit. By this, George would be elected to bach, but he has the advantage of many other young bachelors and that is, a receipt for making biscuit without soda. Mr. Price of Richland, has sold his farm for which he received 830 an acre. Mr. Price nnd wife left Tuesday for Virginia, where they intend to remain the rest of their lives; they also took the remains of his deceased son, George, along with them. We noticed John Marshall was plow ing Wednesday, the last day of the old year, and reports that the ground plow ed as easy and to us much satisfaction as it did last May, but on some occasion we failed to see him in the field New Year's day. Who is Isaac Scott and what caused him to board at James Marshall's last week? James Marshall sold twenty of his hogs in Schuyler Monday at 4 cents a pound. It has recently lieen learned that John Galley has purchased the Hollingsworth farm where he has been residing for the past five years. Willv Meayes. jr., had a valuable buggy whip stolen from him while in Columbus New Year's eve; this district is not composed of any such people. June Buo.
