-Sackett & Crouch, of the Albion
mills, are as true as steel to their
engagements.
Billy Arlington, the mirth-pro-
voking Billy, must be heard to be
appreciated.
If you want TO keep out flies and
bugs, go to Hunneman's and order

"A Polander with what looked
like a young and very small alligator
attracted some attention Saturday.
The heavy rain in Columbus
Sunday did not extend to Pat MUIR
rays or TO Shell creek-so we hear.

mans topic at the Opera House next

The southern road which is now
in view, built, will bring Us an other
from the north which ought TO be a
| lhlTu, independent line.
The U. p. has probably got
through with her Platte Co. surveys,
but the people are immovable, and
more and more will vote for the
Lincoln & Northwestern bonds.

drv goods, boots and shees, hats
and caps, ladies' and gents neck
wear, etc. etc. Remember the place,
opposite the p. o.
Miss Ada Millett placed upon
our table last Saturday a choice COL
| lection of most beautiful flowers
Callers on Monday admired them,
and eastern men wondered that such
rare colors should appear thus early
In Nebraska.
Lightning struck Mr.. Knable's
dwelling-house in the southern part
of the city Monday morning, punch
ing a hole in the roof and knocking
the windows out, but doing no
special damage except shocking the
family.
1t is said that Columbus dealers
are shipping hogs by way of Omaha
to AtchisOn. With the proposed
road they could go direct to Atchi-
son and save to farmers the half a
cent pound that goes TO the rail-
road by the present route.
WIN. Becker sells the Pierre
pont & Tuttle post-hole digger, "the |
best thing i'm the business" Three |
10 one against the post augur and |
about ten to one against the spade.
Don't invest in anything else till
you see it.
-Messrs. Zimmerman and Henry |
have been authorized, by the Music |
Hall Association, to contract for
necessary scenery and fixtures to
put the Hall in first-class shape. |
Mr.. Fonda has the contract. He is |
an artist and theatrical expert.
We are told that special induce
ments are being held out to some of |
our citizens between here and Jack
son, by L. Z. officials. If that is the |
game, it may as well be understood |
that il won't work well. Platte Co. |
farmers are not a gullable class.
-Barnum's horse, Peacock, weight |
100 lbs, has the best "action" OF |
any large horse we know of. His
walking gait is five miles an hour,
and we judge his trotting is low
down for his weight. Farmers who
want large active horses will do |
well TO call on Mr.. Barnum.
&C. W. Westcott, who with his
family came to Nebraska this spring,
locating on the Rickly farm west of
Jacob Ernst's, has finished planting
l50 acres of corn, nearly all of which
has been dragged the second time
he has, also, 80 acres of wheat and |
l5 of oats, besides one of potatoes
all of which look well. From ap-
pearance, he is determined to give
Nebraska a thorough trial this year.
Success TO him.
ID. c. Loveland, we are inform
ed, is at work throughout the coun-
ty, against the Lincoln & North
western Railroad bond proposition.
We should like to have him reconcile
his present course with his avowed
principles in his canvas for repre-
sentative last Fall. For him,
individually, we have the kindest of
feeling, but when he undertakes to
defeat project of great importance
and profit to the county, he should
remember that his action is subject
to the severest criticism. "Veritas,"
in a communication which we pub
lish to-day, has something to say.
