One year ago our town presented to
the traveller but little Of local interest, or
showed many signs Of activity. To-day
it stands among its sister towns. q fast
growing village, having within itself the
wealth and talent necessary to success

neighbors, SO callsd) along the line Of
railroad.
To-day We have . population of about
500, and daily our numbers are increas-
ing. There are some two OF three re-
ligious organisations, besides flourish
ing Union Sabbath School, which are
each in its way, helping to keep up a
good standard of moral add religious
sentiment. The education Of our youth
-. "-s s:-e~sA.~ ..A -. so.s;nx ycsr
will see greater efforts 10 their behalf.
The secret societies C: the day are we'll
%patronized here. The Grange has CON-
menced its work under favorable auspices;
the Free Masons meet weekly at the Ma
sonic Hall. while the Good Templars are
earnestly engaged in their work of re-
deeming the weak and erring from their
cOurse of self abasement,
Our hotels are now crowded daily, As
spring opens many farmers are stopping
here. Or passing through along the valley.
No reasonable man visits our town
but to admire its location, and speak a
favorable word for its future prosperity.
The settler coming to our town will
find our merchants affable and obliging,
ever ready to wait on their customers
with %politeness, and offering goods ss
cheap As in any place in the valley.
They are men who have long been in the
business, and who know what the people
want. and also where and when to order
it so as to accommodate the demand.
The legal and medical professions are
well represented here, and We feel our.
selves safe in their hands as far as human
sgeney is concerned, while With the ad-
vancement Of our town, which Is iiaevita-
Ute, We hold out the hand of welcome to
others who may wish to abide with us.
Among the mechanics we have car
p~enters. blacksmiths, masons, painters,
shoemakers. etc.. who are always on
hand and ready for a job. We still have
room for other professions and trades,
which are and will be needed. Persons
who are contemplating moving west thi.
spring, would do well to visit Webster
County, Nebraska, and prove Us whether

fastidious. Lands are yet cheap for those
who wish to buy, while Uncle Sans
domain, Of which he is making = fine
gift. is by no means exhausted.
Our advantages are daily improving,
and our citizens are striving to make our
town, not a noise and tinkling sound,
but u genuine. earnest, wide-awake com
mnnity which will draw to itself the bone
and sinsw of our over-populated eastern
cities and villages.

EDUCATIONAL

To THE Grief :-Our young State is
advancing rapidly in everything that
pertains to improvement in the arts and
sciences IS we'll Is developing the natural
resources Of the prairies. We look with
pride upon the influx of immigration
which daily throng our streets and bid
them welcome. They come from nearly
every northern state. and the Canad.a.
They bring with them their own ideas of
labor, Of thought. and principle. These
must be moulded to agree 10 the main,
that we may BY uniting these several
parts into one grand whole. have q COM
munity which feel for the interest Of the
whole, and work Tor the moral and intel
lectual good Of society. Our Own county
is rapidly gaining in population, aud
amid the settlers who are here, va have
those Who left pleasant homes in the
east, and who were surrounded by many
privileges. which they must for the
present forego. Many Of the youth have
left homes where these privileges Of OBJ
tanning a good education we're excellent
and where they we're daily improving
them. Here they not only miss those
opportunities but look with anxiety to
the day when they may here too. hear
the sound Of the school bell, which shalt
regularly call them to scholastic abors,
ut least two-thirds Of the year. Our
common schools are doing good work 10
nearly every district, and va do not cast
. single reflection against the noble
work which they are performing. But
We are already beginning to feel the need
Of something more /; IN advance in tie
ranks Of improvement is Necessary, 10
our village and in the county. Red

enough for two large schools, besides I'd
