EDITOR JOURNAL Not having
noticed anything from here in your
valuable paper for some time, |
thought an occasional few lines
would not be amiss.
Thoroughly appreciating the splen-
did sleighing our citizens are spend
ing their spare moments in the most
delightful of sport sleighing, and the
merry sleigh-bells may be beard
jingling far and near, but we fear
it will be woe unto Platte Center,
when this snow melts, it being in so
low situation that some suppose it
will be washed down to the Loup.
Valentines Day is past and still
our Postmaster is constantly hand
ing them out.
And what has become of our Hon.
Co. Superintendent, is echoed from
ear to ear.
Miss Mary Steinbaugh of Watts
vile, has been paying the family of
Mr.. William Bloedorn a pleasant
visit the past week.
Last Saturday was busy day for
l. Niemoller, Esq, our grocer, and
yet he was not to be found at his
place of business.
Again one of our citizens joined
the bonds of matrimony Mr.. George
Brown, his amiable wife being a
lady from the east.
We learn that Mr.. Lynch of the
firm of Hayes & Lynch of your city
intends going into the grocery bus
iness at this place ere long. 1t af.
fords us much pleasure to welcome
Mr.. Lynch to our business circle,
and we wish him much success in
the business, he is about to engage
in at this place.
1t seems that the U. p. railroad
company are meeting with quite a
number of accidents this winter es-
pecislly on this branch, having run
over q span of horses of Mr.. HEM
essey and COW belonging to q Mr..
Fielder, and breaking something on
an engine all in one week.
We learn that Mr.. Timothy who
has been teaching our school will
close his engagement March lst. So

Newnan's Grove.

The early storms last fall found
most people unprepared-stock
without shelter, corn in the field,
&c. The warm spell which FOLLOW
ed was well improved, building
shedding, gathering corn, blowing
and other fall work. But much
corn still remains in the field and
much less plowing was done than
usual. The severity of the winter
makes fodder scarce; most of the
straw in the neighborhood will be
fed as carefully "a hay, and scarce
at that.
1t is thought that the winter indi-
Gates good season for crops, but
fears of the chinch bug are enter
tanned, and it is question of much
interest what crops will be safest.
Perhaps the JOURNAL or some of its
contributors can advise. 1t is ad-
mitted all round that the chinch bug
did more harm to the crop last seas
on than the drouth.
George Hovland is doing business
in his new store, "a building that

gathering at the Opera House for a
night OF amusement, by the steady
revolutions of our cylinder press the
JOURNAL edition was being printed,
so that a notice in last weeks paper
was impossible. There was not so
large number i'm attendance as
upon many previous occasions of the

success. But our particular object

MIR. John Harris, the gentleman
who has been engaged in this city
upon the invention of machine for
the manufacture of rope and who
since the completion and patenting
of the same has interested himself in
efforts looking to the establishing of
a factory at this place. is now about
ready to make practiced test of the
utility of his invention. A large
machine capable of turning out rope
from clothesline to inch i'm size at the
rate of % to 30 feet q minute has
been built aud placed in s. G. Long,
shores big wind mill building, and
SO soon as the yarn which has been
sent for, arrives will be set in opera
ton. Mr.. II. claims that with bis
machine, rope can be manufactured
from any description of yarn, and
feels perfectly confident that the test
will demonstrate its perfect success
and practicability in every respect,
after which he hopes to be able to
form a stock company here for the
manufacture of rope upon a large
scale, or, with like object in view,
secure the assistance and capital of
some individual as a partner with
himself. The JOURNAL has pre-
viously spoken encouragingly of an
undertaking of this character, which
ifproperly managed would no doubt
result in good to the city and county,
and we hope in the near future to be
able to announce as a certainty that
q rope factory will be started here,
and that the enterprise shall have
such healthy inception as shall
insure it position in the front rank
of the business interests of Colum.

Gambling leads to bad habits
and generally to worse associations.
Young men should avoid the excl
ting amusement by never beginning
it, and married men who have en-
gagged in it, should have strength
of will to quit it at once. 1t inva-
riably leads to other vices and we
want no better evidence of the fact
than the case which recently occur
red in this city with one who has
been induced through the losses
thus sustained to commit a crime
which in his previous life he would
have shuddered at the mere thought
of doing. By his crime he afflicts
dear wife and family. How sad the
picture! Everybody should culti-
vate will power, and make it strong
enough to resist forever the desire
to engage in it.
