THE MORAL. . OF IT.
We may moralize ns much as we
please about pain ; but the fact is ,
that we don't like it while it lasts ,
nnd that we want to get rid of it .is
soon as we can. Whether caused by
rheumatism , out , disordered liver ,
weak nerves , irregular kidneys , bad
blood , or anything else that is just
the reverse of what it should be , the
sooner it is out of the system the
happier we arc. Whether pain is
the result of imprudence or of acci
dent , or is sent aa a punishment for
our sins , may be a nice question for
the philosophers to argue ; but people
ple who are suffering want first to be
rid of the pain , after which those
who arc fond of argument may argue
the matter to their hearts' content
Above all theory , argument , and
philosophy , comes the delightful fact
that BROWN'S IUON BITTERS drives
pain away. Sufferers run no risk in
trying this medicine , the only com
pound containing iron which carries
I no mischief with'it. Those who have
used it will tell you so ; and you can
try for yourself by buying a bottle
of the nearest druggist. 7

The growth of Nebraska in material

Srow towns have sprung into life , vast
reas of now land has been brought un <

'ollowod the prairie schooners to their re
lotcat haunts. The largo and compara
ively neglected country north of the

ovcral years to como. The progress of

Nowhere has the growth of the country

statistics show. The present population
of the state exceeds 000,000 , nnd its
capacity lor supporting population is un

The fallowing facts are taken from the
innual reviews of the press in different
larta of the stato. No town or district
reviewed by the local press has been in
tentionally overlooked.

showing the substantial prosperity of the
chief towns. The county is located about
24 miles north of the southern boundary
of the state , and ninety miles west from
the Missouri river. It is in extent 24
miles square , and lies between York and
Thayer , Saline and Olay counties.
The natural water courses of the coun
ty are but few. The West Blue river
flows along its northern boundary for
about half its breadth , from the north
west corner , and affords an excellent wa
ter power. Turkey crook rises in Olay
county nnd flows across Fillmore from
west to cast , a little north of the center
of the county. In the eastern part of the
county the flow of water is sufficient to
afford n fair water power. Indian crook
flows across the northeastern part ; Sandy
crook across the southwestern nnd Wal
nut creek across the southeastern. The
four last named streams are hut small

Geneva is the county scat , located in
in the center of the county , eight mile :
from the railroad. It has n populutioi
of 400 , and the building improvement !
of the year amounted to $37,800.
Grafton is located in the northwester :
part of the county , on the railroad , nnc
claims a population of 400. A total ol
$29,300 was spent iu improvements dur
ing the year.
HExotor laid out $27.403 nnd Stautoii
$24,000 in now buildings nnd other im
provonionts ,
The remaining town ) , Momonco , Choi
sea and West Blue show n total expend ! '
turo of $53,000. Ilnturns from ail pro
ducts show a total of $450,085 expended
in improvements in the county during
the year. With a crop fully up to the
average , a largo increase in population ,
and freedom from destructive storms , the
past year was ono of the most prosperous
in the history of the county.
TJio Town of lAilIcrton.
Fullerton , Nancn county , has oujoyoi
an unusually prosperous year. The nd
vent of the railroad in the fall helped the
town wonderfully. The Journal claimi
that , considering ita population , tin
record will boat that of any town in the
state. The number and coot of improve
menU give ft total of $80,000 expended.
Continuing , The Journal says :
"There teems to bo no reason why 1' ul-
lorton should not continue to put on
no * ness' of life. The urroundtag country -
try is unsurpassed in fort lily. There are
competing towns within fifteen miles ;
no

of the county , and a market ns good ns

things to say that the town Bite is not
surpassed in beauty by any in the state ,
"Tho Nebraska Woiloyan university is
fast becoming ono of the solid institutions
of the town , and is nn inducement to the
better class of settlers to locate hero ,
where they can educate their children
under the shadow of their own homes.
"Tho country 'round about' is fast set
tling up with well-to-do farmers , who
seem to know how to obtain the best re-
suits from western fanning Under the
stimulus of immigration , the toarn must
continue to grow , until it becomes ono of
the loading cities of the stato. There IB
every reason why it should thus prosper ,
and no good reason why it shouldn t.

The town of Wayne in Dixon county ,
though still in her teens , has made hugo
strides toward maturity , the past year ,
Notwithstanding the stampede to now
towns in the neighborhood , the building
improvements for this year foot up § 48 ,

in keeping the town on its onward
march. The excellent water power in
the vicinity will noon bo utilized for
manufacturing purposes.
Ilarlau County.
The growth of Harlan county and her
chief towns has been most substantial
during the year. Lauds in the northern
portion of the county is rapidly increas
ing in value on account of the building of
the railroad. The now seminary at Or
leans nnd the opera house nt Alma ndds
two important institutions to these already
ready in the county , while the press is
keeping pace with the increase in popu
lation. *

The thriving metropolis of Johnson
county has made substantial progress
during the past year. It could acarsolj

ness prosperity. It is safe to say tha
there is not another town in the utat
which turns out their equal in type
graphy , make up nnd printing , while th
news and editorial doprrtmenta are nee :
oasarily of a high standard. Wo sn
this with no desireto disparage the prei
of nny other section.
The coming year will witness mar
substantial additions to the busine
,
buildings of the city. Among the ir
provonionts talked of , says The Journti
"is the erection a largo three story brii
hotel on the site occupied by the She

has a record of which she has good reason
to bo proud , n record that no county in

she received the silver medal at the stuto

board of agriculture. With such

There are five fine flouring mills in the

Mr. John Crouch , a subscriber of TIJK
; OMAHA BKK , referred us to the above in
state news in its issue of January 7th
which , as relates to North Bond , ia false
in every particular. Wo cannot compre
hend how TIIK BEE , usually correct
made such an error. The Flail gave
facts and figures showing the improve'
monts in North Bond to amount it
'S round numbers to 880,000 , nud , oven ai
'Sa that , it was § 10,00 too low. No mil
art was built in North Bend during tin
rtol year. This seems , on the face of it , t
old be purposely misrepresented , if not Tin
dn - BKK will cheerfully correct. [ Nortl

The attontipn of the statesmen a

that our beautiful native American cab
bagca are boint ; crowded out by the choa
"paupor-producod" cabbages of th
European continent. The latter are sell

kots , while the heads which have nprout
ed and bloomed in the free air tha
swoops over Long Island and New Jorao
bring only a paltry 10 cents. Has tli
American cabbage no friends in con

can republican institutions be presorvei
with cabbage on the free list ?
