corner OF Howard street present . pecu.

and they are covered thickly with dust.
while through the chinks can be seen
the blinds, also thick with dust. and
mouldsring away with age. Those shut
ters and blinds have been In exactly the

years. During that time no human foot,

As this is the last issue before the
election Of the members 70 the Con
stitutionsl Convention VIC wish to say
. word 10 regard to the importance Of
having out . full vote throughout the
county. Ii is not rs to whether this
man or that man is elected, or that
Republicans or Democrats triumph.
These things are secondary. 1t is
more than probable that there will be
no opposition to the nominees Of the
Hastings convention, but whether
this he so or not, turn out and vote,
get your names on the polling list, and
chow the outside world that there is
somebody living in Webster county.
II it should be a good day for seed
ing or farm work generally, there will
not be half the vste Of the county
polIed, unless there is more interest
shown than there ever has been in the
past elections. 1t will poy in dollars
and cents ty poll q full vote. 1t
helps the credit Of the county TO such
extent, to make q good showing at
the polls that We only wonder that
any man thinks that he can afford to
remain away. The election returns Of
evrey county 10 the State are publish
ed throughout the country, and are
carefully scanned by business men and
in financial circles. The veriest SIM
pletou cannot but know that the cred.
it ola poFulous county is much better
than one sparsely settled. other things
being equal. But, it will be said, the
census returns will show the popula.
ton. This is true, but a hundred will
watch for and read the election returns
where q will ever see the census
reports. And, besides. if our asses
sors return a population equal to ten
times the number of votes cast, there
will be doubts expressed, as to the
reliability of the census. We repeat
that it is not to secure the triumph or
defeat Of any man or party that VIC
beg Of the citizens to turn out to a
man. but, because it will be a person
sl benefit to every voter 10 the county,
to do SO.

Now that spring is here, the people
generally are aroused from the de-
~spendency and glo IN that has hung
over the country devastated by the
grasshoppers, last year. and all are
taking hold with a determination to
win back the losses Of the past. Bus,
mess is getting lirelier, and the uni
ye1s.! feeling a Is tia. 4! The M 44eFa j. b 1ss,;
seeded in wheat and other grains. and
the breadth of Of corn will be nearly
If not quite equal to that lost last
year. A large number Of the farmers
wal not be able to cultivate as much
land as they intended, owing to the
scarcity Of seed, and in some cases, to
the condition of their teams. Through
the aid Of the State Grange. and
private subscriptions every farmer will
have enough seed, to grow all that is
needed, for subsistence and future
seeding, provided the season is any
where near favorable, and may have
been able to procure seed for all the
ground they wish to pu, into grain.
The future looks bright, and there
is every indication Of favorable seas
on ahead. Calsmitie. like that of last
year seldom follow each other two
years in succession. A season Of
prosperity will canse the past to be
forgotten, and u people having
known the bitterness of adversely will
be the better enabled to pprec late
the good that is sure to follow.

ARE NC to have an Agricultural
Society organized. and a county fair
next fall, or arc We going to acknovl
edge that We have not the enterprise
and life that was shown TWO years ago ?
Our Leighboring counties will outstrip
US in everything that pertains to agri-
cultural and farming interests unless
We wake up and do something for
ourselves.
Let Us form an agricultural society
at once. and make preparations for a
county fair the present season. If it
is generally that the county is not able
to do that. let US make an attempt to
unite with an adjoining county and
hold a District Fair. Suppose We
propose to 60 in with Nuckolls county
and hold q fair at Guide Rock.
While We would much prefer 10 have
a society and fair of our own. We can
see that more or less good could be
accomplished by uniting with Nuckolls
and holding a District Fair. We offer
tue suggestion and would like to hear
an expression of the people upon that
subject.
What say our Guide Rock friends ?
The Red Cloud chief., 1875-03-31

The next State Fair will be held 10
in Omans, sometime 10 September.
With the opportunities before the
people of Webster county il viii be
strange if somebody does not make IN
attempt TO place specimens Of all tic
productions Of the Valley on exhibition
at that Fair. 1t will be but little
trouble to make IN extra effort to
raise fine samples Of grain. and veget-
ables, and it will more than repay the
cost 10 the profit to the prducer. The
Nebraska State Agricultural Society
is wide awake to the interests Of the
State, and will 10 the future, as ia the
past, do a great amount Of food by
encouraging a better system Of cul-
tivation and improvement among the
farmers.
