city this week, and found the meTch-
ants all busy and with generally good
/ stocks.
/ Titus & Williams with their ample
general stock report trade excellent.
Terry, always full of ''go-ahead," dis
burses the cash for stock for one of the
buyers, and his store is constantly
thrOnged with cash customers.
Minick, with his very full and varied
stock, is. with his two efficient sales
men, busy from morning till bed time
waiting on customers.
Bender's, the only drug store in the
town, is well kept house, and sup
plies that meek OF woods" with their
drugs and medicines. Mr.. Bender we
have found to be pleasant gentleman
To deal with.
VIM. Drain has one of the neatest,
best stocked grocery establishments in
the county. Heis doing, as he deserves,
a good business. Honest, prompt, and
and gentlemanly, his is a favOrite
house.
Willing Bros. have the only hard
ware house in the place and it is jam
med full of stoves, tinware and all
sorts of goods to be found in that class
of business. They are always on the
rush waiting on customers.
TOurtelott, the veteran in the
mercantile business, has about finished
a new and capaciOus business house,
and within a short time viii have it
filled with general merchandise, cloth
ing, groceries, etc.
Squire Crother seems frozen to that
everlasting old shoe bench, and sup
plies the grangers with their boots,
shoes and harness, and repairs the
fractures of the same; and doesn't
mind, for a little recreation, to measure
intellectual lances with "a foe worthy
of his steel" upon religion or politics.
He did leave his bench long enough
the other evening to circulate a paper
for 4 company of Garfield Guards"
and was very successful in recruiting.
The anvils in the three blacksmith
shops were all ringing.
Dave Morton was putting on wag
on tire which had slipped off during
the lCet weather, and Dave could make
it stick if any smith could.
Grant Clover was shaping up horse
shoe; and he can shoe a horse to suit
us. which we fatty refuse to say for
every blacksmith.
Uncle Huntington has recently got
into his new shop, on his residence
premises. We did not get around to
see what he was sweating over, but he
has the reputation all the same of be
ing an honest and gOOdpOunder of iron.
Nemaha has three saloons, kept by
sam. Bennett, Phil Fraker and Nels.
Combs. We understand they do not
not lack for customers and 'draw
trade" immensely. We were solicited
to pitch into 'em." We shall do no
such thing. Those saloon keepers
are all bigger'n us, and We decline. The
fact is we decline to be a catSpaw. If
wants to go for" the saloons
they must do it on their own response
bility, so far as We are concerned. It's too
thin-this thing of showing an editor
forward to incur the curses and i'll viii
of saloon keepers, while the inStigatOrs
have not the courage to do what they
ask the editor to do. That's played
out"
Well what else is there at Nemaha
deserving notice. The Times is amply
able to do its own putting, at least SO
long as Doe. Andrews has hold of the
bellows. Lawyers, there are none.
DOctors-we charge them ten cents
line. However, we will say that Foster
& Andrews have a snug Office where
they may be found when not profess
iOnally engaged.
All, the hotels who always invite us
to take dinner with them. They are
all right. The Johnson House is well
kept, the grub being first class, the
landlord accommodating and the girls
pretty and attentive.
The Hoover House is widely known
for its excellent culinary preparations.
