Winter is coming and Won will

be compelled to provide shoes for
your family. When you count the
cost you will find it a considerable
sum. Seeing that this is the case,
remember that John M. Honahan,
opposite the post-ofice, sells boots
and shoes, made in the best manner,
of the best stock and at very low
prices. 25w2
"A social party at Jacob Ernst's
on Friday night of last week was
attended by about thirty couples.
and a good social time is reported.
Rain or shine, fair or murky, when
the folks of Nebraska set out to en-
joy themselves, they scarcely ever
fail, their health is so abounding,
and there is such exhileration in the
atmosphere.
During the past week the JOUR-
NAE has been indebted to j. Judd,
c. II. Davis, A. Russell, T. c. Cain,
III. F. Snider, p. III. Kelley and Mrs.
ID. G. Davis, for that substantial aid
which is requisite in all kinds of
business enterprises. The JOURNAL
cannot refrain from expressing graf
ification at the good words of our
good friends.
Hon. G. w. Lehman came down
from the west Thursday, returning
Saturday evening. This was the
first time he had seen his hotel build
ing since the fire. He thought that
the department, aided by citizens
and farmers, had done very good
work in saving the property, and
expressed himself as very grateful
for their services.
Those who have plenty of corn
and few hogs will do well to re-
member that pork is bringing
good price. The hog is maintain
ing his place as the favorite meat
product of America. Keep him
healthy and treat him we'll and the
farmer will be sure to get ahead
with him. On him he can ride
to the front, financially.
John Hammond's team last week
passed over deep ditch, one side of
the buggy going down, letting John
out on the ground, where he was
dragged quite q way, under the
buggy and to one side of it, doing
him no particular harm except TO
scratch his left ear, and fill it so full
of sand that he had to pick it out
afterwards with q stick.
M. E. McIlvsin, representing a
Cincinnati safe company, was in the
city last week, and of course called
at newspaper headquarters to dis
pose of one of his safes. We didn't
make a deal with him, but we did
get from him very graphic descrip-
ton of Colorado and Mexico, with
whose affairs he is very well &C.
quainted. In an hours talk with
such a man more information can be
gained than in a months reading.
We notice that j. j. Blodgett, an
old resident of Platte county, is q
candidate for sheriff on the republi-
can ticket in Seward county. From
those well versed in Seward county
politics We learn that the republican
ticket will have no trouble in sue
ceeding. Mr.. Blodgett was always
regarded here as a good, faithful
man, and one of those strong. even
tempered and steady natures that is
just the mettle for an executive office. |
AT a meeting of the Engine Co. |
Thursday evening, all members |
three months in arrears were drop
ped, leaving Is in company of up
wards of So 1t is suggested to us
to say that firemen are exempt from
jury duty and poll tax, which two
facts ought to be sufficient induce
ment to join the Company, aside
from the property interest that all
have at stake. Property owners
should see that the company is again
filled.
The last number of the Nebras-
ks Farmer is of more than usual
interest, one of the best articles be-
ing from the pen of Mrs. G. S. Reed
of this county, "Suggestions on
making butter in cold weather."
which we shall try to print next
week. A lengthy article on "Sor-
ghum manufacture on large SCALE"
will be found interesting by those
engaged in or about to engage in
that business. The numerous small
articles and paragraphs are just such
as are adapted to the needs of Ne
brsska farmers and stock rsisers.
Some one the other day shot and
perhaps fatally injured very valua-
BILE colt belonging to Hon. Guy C.
Barnum. AT the time, it was in his
pasture, near his dwelling. 1t was
an animal that Mr.. Barnum would
not have taken hundred dollars
for. This is very annoying to Mr..
Barnum, who is an exceptionally
