NEBRASKA CITY, Nov. %.
Editor Aduartiser THAT early part
Of November, 50 pceticaHy conceived and
beautifully described by the "star' poet
Of England, Alyander Smith, has come
and gone:
"Tae shrinking day that Sometimes comes
in =ia.er's front, SO fair 'm5ng It's dark peers,
It seems assragsier from the files Of June,
which in ITS wanderinss had lost It's wits
Aud half its beauty; and, when it returned
Finding its old companions gone away,
It Joined November's s7oop, then marching past.
And SO me fraI thing comes, and greets the world
WItba thin crazy smile, then bursts in tears,
Aud az the whiie Thirds within its hand
Anew balf-witberod d5wers."
With The stately steppings Of Decea.
Der in the distance the approach Of Winter
IS proclaimed. Already the heavens are
dark with storm clouds. a few featbery
snow-lakes are blown through the air
The nights are chill. Men move with
~qui5Sened pace, or the blood freezes in
their veins. Every n prays that the
good Lord may deliver US from so severe
a winter as was experienced last season.
The people viii be better prepared to
withstand the sereritie Of such a winter
as the last one. It's rough experiences
have taught them IN sunshine to prepare
for storm. The large and bountiful crops
Of the present season have enabled our
farmers to build sheds and stables for
their cattle and horses, and thus render.
3beir stock much more comfortable
Produce brings nothing scarcely in mar
ket, but on the other hand labor is cheap,
and carpenters and laboring men mus,
live and must nave produce. The far
mer can always turn his surpIoss produce
into improvements, which will be worth
something by-and-by when times set
be.ter, Even a poor market may be
turned to a good a%ccountin This way.
Wbat our ely and the Territory need
is more liberal tgadesmen, more enter
prIsinc and liberal merchants. Is it.
right, is is fair and honorable dealing for
lhe meroban. to pay. say fifteen cents per
bashel for corn in goods, and charge
twenty cents per busheI cash for tie
same {? The merchant should be satisfied
with making a fair profit on his goods,
without making a double one of from the
farmer. lie should pay tie san's price
for produce IN goods that he sells IL for in
cash, Otherwise he is iliberal and hog
gish, for he wants to make 2 double
profit, and that at the expense Of lie
hard earnings Of the farmer. Farmers,
mark ali such merchants.
The cold weather Of the past few days
has nearly sileuced the voice of improve
meat IN u city. 4 goodly work IS,
however. nearly completed in the cree
ton OF a magnificent block of brick, on
the site formerly occupied by Bank Hail
and buildings adjoining. under the pat
ronage and auspices Of the order Of Odd
Fellows and F. & A. N. Upon the
whole we have no reason to complain Of
the amount or quality Of Improvements
made in cur city during the season just
past.
Teams are constantly passing to and
from the salt mines fifty miles west of
this place. Undoubtedly there is a mine
Of wealth out there. and when properly
developed viii prove highly important
and advantageous to The trade Of both
Nebraska City and Brownvllle.

that his presence was Immediately needed

Platte Valley Bank still remain in statu
qpo.
