- Very welcome, the glorious sun
shine after a fOrty-eight hours rain.
- Chills and fever are in order now.
- Grief is for the one who falIeth
into the trap OF the Independent
party"
MIR. Peter Redfern and family, of
Ohio, have been visiting his brothers
and friends in this part OF Nebraska.
- The Independent ticket is very
weak but the vote of fool counts as
much as a wise mans. If any are fool
ish enough to be caught with the bait
of corruption, " rings" and 're-
form" of the "incorruptibles."
Mr.. R. Williamson Journeyed
down into Missouri and took Unto
himself q wife, then returned to Ne
braska. But be wilt make Missouri
his home for a time.
Election day draweth nigh. Re-
member the responsibility of casting
a vote in a republic. Think well. and
you will surely vote the Republican
ticket. Believe not the ISLANDERS con-
cerning the men who have been wise
ly chosen for that ticket; they are the
wicked words of the enemy.
"A doubling Thomas" concern
ing the fruit said to be from Nemaha
county and exhibited at the State
Fair? Why, there is fruit enough in
the orchards of London to make a fine
display at State Fair. True enough
the half is not told" Many ORCH
ards were not represented at the fair.
Edgar r. Barrow and Maggie
Nible are welded fast" and are not
yet out of the enchanted atmosphere
of the honeymoon" This event
took place about three weeks ago, and
at the time was duly chronicled. But
the "nOtice, " with other items, failed
TO reach THE ADVERTISER office. BY
the way, when John Harding is en-
trusted with so important q package
as the London Items, and he for
gets to deliver them, is il not right to
ask the reason why ," Is there any
"cause" in Brownville that draws his
attention from business -? Has cupid's
arrow reached his heart, and he is
dreaming of wedding rings" and
"hOueymoons ?" Alas alas if it be
so ; some other way must be found of
sending items.
Elder COnnard preached two ser
sons in the Methodist Church last
Sunday. He gave US the ''best wine"
first. The soured dregs of sectarian-
ism is not swallowed with much of
relish after a draught of the waters Of
life. He talks of giving a series of
meetings in Brownville. Go and
hear him. Do like the bees-extract
the honey and leave the refuse, to be
"buried" with the "stu5ble" of pet
hobbies He has some good ideas as
well as some very narrow.
- Dora Lockard has been very sick
at the residence of Ed. Berlin.
- Mrs. Amos Bacon is very sick.
The Republicans have a splendid
ticket. 1t is to be hoped that every
Republican will work to elect every
man on their ticket; and not be IN
wise enough as to sulk, and pout, and
remain idle, because each man is not
just the one ne wanted. 1t does not
need much argument to show that
when there is more than one candi
date, but one can have the nomina-
tion. ThO-e falling, and their sup
pOrteTs, should yield gracefully to the
one chosen, and work for his election,
and not begin the cry of betrayed,
corruption, rings, and the like weak
arguments. That is the batt!e-cry Of
the ''incorFuptibles." They have no
principles; they want no principles,
and boast that they don't. They
want men, not principles. Yes, and
look at their men. How long would
a republic exist on the foundation Of
men, not principles ?" Not twenty
four hours. There must be founda-
On-principles on which to build
republic; and if the men who will
carry out those principles are not
morally just what could be desired,
there are refOrmatOry sources, other
than turning and joining hands with
the enemy. Be not deceived The
enemy will be bringing his religious
and temperance tests, and il the can
didate cannot pronounce his shibbo-
leth, let him be accursed. Now tenn
peranoe and religion are not the cues
tions at issue; it is political sound
ness. One OF the candidates, the one
for County Judge, I guess has got
religion" little, for he took poor,
shivering negro, clothed him, and
made him comfortable. God bless
him for that. He shall have my vote.
- Mr.. John Heiks has received his
fine lot OF nursery stock, and is ready
TO deliver it to those who have taken
bills for it, and to furnish to others,
too. Mr.. Heiks has taken one thou
sand dollars worth of orders this fall
The people are determined TO have
fruit, and Nebraska ls the place f0T 1t.
