The commercial committee was instructed to purchase a King road drag and put it in operation at onoe. In connection with the farmer's insti tute to be held in Columbus some time after the first of the year, prizes will be given for the best corn exhibit, one of the speakers at the institute to act as judge. The candidates are as follows: Twenty ears will form an exhibit. For the best twenty ears of yellow corn the first prize will be $5, second prize $3, third prize $3. These prizes will also be given on white corn. Another prize of $5 will be given for the beet'twenty ears of any corn outside of the two prizes mentioned. As farmers are now in the corn field they will have a much better opportunity to select what they wish to compete for the prizes with than later, and this is the reason for those in charge of the institute bringing this to their at tention at present. The committee in charge of the corn contest is John Gros- nickla'us, Albert Stenger and J. H. Drinnin. Prof. W. W. Waters who established the Columbus Commercial College here four years ago, has found it necessary to increase not only the teaching fore but also the equippment in order to accom modate the large number of students who have registered for next term. He has associated as half owner, Prof. L. A. Carnahan, who is well known to the school men of Nebraska and is ranked high in the profession, having been a county superintendent as well as city superintendent of schools. He is re garded as one of the few good penmen in the state. This college has made a phenominal growth, and is one in which the citizens of this section of the state have every confidence.

Holly Mills who was the manager of the Sense Hester store and had went away for a roam, came back on Satur day and will stay' in our city until he gets a better job than managing a store. The Polk County Telephone Associa tion has asked for a fraacfJfae to enter Central City. The new line fol lows from Stromsburg to Central City via Polk, where a switchboard has al ready been installed. The County commissioners of Polk county have called an election for the purpose of voting bonds for an electric railroad in one third of the precincts in the county. They only ask for fifteen thousand dollars in Osceola precinc t. On account of the diptheria scare at Osceola the preachers have decided that there will be no doings there on that day; the lid is on closer in that little city than Governor Mickey succeeded in putting it on in Omaha on Sundays for the drug stores-run there as usual. Oscar Mustard of south Silver Creek in Polk county was in the city on Satur day. He was accomaaaied by John Dwyer and it is presumed that John was along to keep Oscar straight not withstanding the fact that Oscar knows his "Fs and Q's" pretty well when he comes to this live city. There is something in a name after all judging by the way the good people of western Polk, on the line of the exten sion of the railroad west from that city.

Frank Fentress sold out all bis be longings in Polk county near Osceola about a year ago and moved with his family to Oregon, but they are back .now and we guess that Frank did not like a country where it rained every day in the year, and also he did not want to get webfooted and so they came back to Nebraska. They are not going to settle south of the Platte for Frank likes to get somewhere sometime, and he will settle between here and Norfolk. Oifi, Mrs. Augusta S.
