to be a man of letters thoroughly in
formed, and an able speaker. He
handles his subjects with ease and
convincing arguments, but some OBJ
jectlons might be taken to his asser-
tons in his first lecture, that the
world has not progressed IN two
thousand years, but rather retrograd-
ed in the arts and sciences.

Madame Gerster, the opera singer,
says champagne strengthens the voice.
That is what the police say. A crowd
of men wilDgo to a champagne sup
per as quiet as kittens, but when they
go home they will hang their feet out
of the window of the hack, and sing
and yell so the noise will stop the
clock IN a church steeple. There is
no doubt that champagne strengthens
the voice.
Mr.. IL Footc having severed his
connection with the Bank OF Kimball,
leaves to-day accompanied by bis wife,
for a short visit with friends at their
old home in Lawrence county, N. Y.
Mr.. Foote will return in about two
weeks and arrange for future business
in Dakota. The citizens of Kimball
deeply regret that business affairs ne
cessitated the removal of this estima-
BILE couple from our midst.
We are impatient for spring to
come so that our streets may be grad
ed and sidewalks laid. Wading
through the mud every time 1t rains
is neve very pleasant, and when
people have to do it year IN and year
out it becomes decidedly disagreeable.
The town was incorporated last fall,
but not in time to do much in the
way of improvements, but two and a
half years of stopping around in the
mud will probably be sufficient in
centivc to put down walks at the
earliest possible day. Come, gentle
spring, come.
There is a young man in the Sey-
enth Ward who goes to see his best
girl every &anday night. Last Sun
lay night they We're alone in the sit
ing room, as usual, and the CONVEX
alton had ceased for want of u new
+. Inject. Suddenly the young lady
l. 'led up and SAID: "By the way,
A. .hur, have you hcal | of the new
ri, that Stanley has discovered in
Ces sral Afrlca:" A, hur thought
for :, moment. and the A, sand, "lyky
no, Nellie, what Is the name OF it::n
She drew his head d. XII and wins
percd In his ear, 9TH, Kissmelonga."
lie took the hint and kissed her so
long that she turned i'll: tx III the face
and her mother had to ',ut her to bed.
This should be uning to the
young ladies, for q ma is very quick
to take 4 hint.-Pec Is Sun.
The worst swlnd e that has ever
been Wrpetrated u,'on the farmers of
McCook county is that Of an cas- ern
cloth merchant, who is sending an
agent through Dakota soliciting or.
ders for clothes, &c. They usually
sell what they term 3 package, for
$50, and take a mortgage for the
amount on cattle horses, etc. The
goods bought are really not worth
over 1875. Farmers, you had better
go slow. Give reliable me chants
your orders for such goods a, d YOU
will not get stuck. One fs1 DOR south
Of Montrose bought o pae x qe, Civ
ing a mortgage sor $s5. ftcr the
goods arrived and he had o. .ened and
saw the same, he brough lie bundle
to Salem and wanted the agent to
take them back, but he re used, say.
ing: "The whole lot IL no: worth $25,
and I would not give you that sum
for the bundle. l show ed you the
goods, and you knew wi at you was
buying" OF course, IS ne held a
mortgage against the armer, he will
have to pay it.-Pionc er Register.
Another spring Is b ere and with its
arrival comes almost numberless du-
ties to all our farm rs in this new
and comparatively 'mdeveloped ter
ritory. Would it not be well for
every farmer to i'm yrove all the odd
moments by sticlia g here and there a
willow, cottonwool or maple slip in
the ground. 1r 1--we years You Will
