The Columbus journal., 1881-04-20

The railroad property Of Ne
brsska is to be assessed by the State
Board, on the first Monday in May.
Are the County Commissioners of
this part of the State going to send
representatives to see how 1t lie
-"Jim" Brindley and Chris. From
are fixing up their billiard hall in
fine style. They will also keep fruit
and confectionery, and with "Pretty
Chris" to shake up lemonade and
dish out the peanuts, are sure to
make Ii win.
The Schuyler Nescs says that
Columbus's request in regard to the
new route between here and Lost
Creek "is perfectly harmless and
win probably be granted Much
obliged, but why use the word
"probably?"
Travel between Columbus and
Lost Creek station 10 brisk, and
livery teams are having q big run,
and so 1t will continue until the new
road is built, when the horse Of flesh
and blood will have to give way to
the iron horse.
Our horsemen are making ar
rsngements to have q number-one
race course built this spring. With
what fast horses we have here and
those that would come, were good
purses offered, we could have one of
the best fairs In the State.
Now the city has three printing
offices we suggest the propriety Of
the city having its work done where
IL can be done the cheapest. Those
who work for the public are justi-
fed in having things done jnst as
economical as they possibly can be.
Having procured the services of
Jacob Gregorius to help me out on
Saturdays and Sundays. my custo-
mers will still fiud three chairs run
ming as usual these two days. Give
us a call at the well known Chicago
Barber Shop. H.Woods, proprietor.
David Carrig gave US a business
| call Saturday. Those who trespsss
upon his hay lands must take the
legal consequences. His patience
has been worn down to the quick.
"Don't turn to the right, don't turn
to the left, but keep in the middle
of the road"
Old settlers cheer us up with the
information that fourteen years ago
the spring was cold and backward
90 it is this year, and that they did
not SOW wheat till the middle OF
Nav, but were rewarded with q
Weld of % to 80 bushels per acre.
