McCook weekly tribune. (McCook, Neb.) 188?-1886, 1884-09-11

the shape OF number OF lunches OF
an excellent taste and flavor
An exchange makes the following
very truthful remark: 'An honest man
will pay for his paper before he orders
it stopped scoundrel sneaks off and
lets the postmaster notify the publisher
that the paper remains in the post office,
because the person to whom it was sent
has left for parts unknown"
Something bearing an anatomical
likeness to the genus homo in its out
lines, got off the trucks of the first-class
coach attached to No. 40, Monday, and
wandered blindly and aimlessly river
ward. 1t was SO paralyzed by dust and
the rapid motion of the ''cannon BALI
upon reaching this station, as to be al
most unable to navigate.
The buzzing bee doth now manipulate
his plyers to the detriment Of the leaves
on tree and bush. The absorbing ques-
ton among those of our citizens who
are blessed with these products of the
nursery is how to put Il quietus on the
too busy bee, or at least how to put
stop to the depredations of the afore-
said insect. Suggestions are in order.
W. NJ Irwin has taken down his 10
foot Enterprise mill and replaced it
with II foot Woodmanse, to run
feed grinder. He thinks the Wood
manse is the best self-regulating, strong
est, less noiseless and lightest running
mill in market. Call at his residence
II miles northwest of McCook and in
spect the mill. Will put up II foot
Woodmanse at same figures asked for
10 foot Enterprise.
Annie Sevenker, who came home
from Denver three or four weeks ago
sick with fever, died at the residence
of her parents, few miles northwest
of town, early Monday morning. The
remains we're laid away in their final
resting place on the homestead of the
parents of the deceased. The transi-
ton from the exuberance and glow of
health to the palor of death, we are re-
minded, is terribly rapid betimes.
The Lincoln Land Co. has set aside |
the entire block in which the water tank
on the hill is situated for park, and
will proceed at once to pillow up the en-
tire place, preparatory to setting out
trees, etc., this fall. 1t is proposed to
set double row all around the block
and also on each side of two walks
which are to be laid out diagonally from
the four corners. The remainder of the
square will be planted to grasses and
shrubbery, and will make handsome
place, If proposed plans are carried out.
A little fracas occurred in the Colvin
House, Monday, resulting in S. NJ. Bow
mans head coming in contact with
base ball bat in the hands of the pro-
prietor of that hostelry, to the diminu
ton of the personal beauty of the first
mentioned. Bowman was intoxicated
and became abusive and pugilistically
inclined-being DESTROYS of wiping up
The floor with Mr.. Colvin' manly form
as a result. The b. b. b. aforesaid
cooled Bowman ardor, and
he quilted the premises. Bowman is
luiet, peaceable fellow, but is unfortu-
lately given to drink at times.
The Apron Fair and Festival given
~ the members of the Ladies Union
n the Opera Hall, Thursday evening
If last week, was, we take pleasure in
pleasant and profitable
me. The display of aprons by the I'm
on was very creditable, embracing all
grades from the demure little gingham
% the handsome hand painted satin,
With lace trimmings: and many thought
'ul housewives took advantage of the l
occasion to lay in stock. The literary
preface was fair, but the length of time :
in preparing the tableaux de-
racted from their effect. Altogether,
he evening was enjoyable and it is to '
