EVERY property owner in Red Cloud,
and in every town in Webster county,
should aim to set out q number OF
shade and ornamental trees this sea.
son. There is no one thing that beauti-
fes a home more than nice trees. W.
hope this will be dOne::. this year. II
will certainly add to the value of your
property.
RED CLOUD wants a district fair. The
citizens called a meeting of represent
atives from the different counties, and
when they arrived the citizens of Red
Cloud had forgotten on what day the
meeting was called. This shows a re.
marsable degree of enterprise.-E.
We do not believe a word of it. It's
a fabrication.
THE Guard says that Judge Gaslin
thinks that u congressman has made
two mistakes, and they are voting for
Porter and trying to remove Mr..
Switzer. That begins to look as if the
judge would like to step into Lairdis
shoes. -Repubiican Valley Echo.
We don't believe the Judge would
take it. Oh no.
AT the railroad meeting at Smith
Centre last Monday night the various
delegates organized a railroad COM
pany, and adopted RED Cloud and
Kansas Southwestern" as the name
for the proposed railway. A deter
mined effort will be made to get the B.
& NJ. to put the road in running oper-
alton as soon as possible.
The CHIEF wishes to inform its
friends that it will take county war
rants or certificates at par in pay
ment of subscriptions. We hope all
that can, and nearly all of our sub
scribers are able, will call and give us
the amount due. 1t takes money to
run a paper, and $3.50 is a small
amount to you but means a great deal
to us. Let every body come.
S. S. HIrE made a "trip to Stockton,
getting back Tuesday. He, reports
railroad matters over there as hot in
favor of the branch of B. & NJ. from
Red Cloud to that place via Cora,
Smith Centre, and Cedarville.-Snath
Center Pioneer.
The Smith Centre folks are terribly
in earnest about the new railroad and
propose to have it built if possible.
CAPT. SEELY, the noted speaker ha,
been engaged by Garfield Post. G. A
R. No. so. ofthis city to deliver a lecture
in Red Cloud soon, on the battle o.
Gettysburg and prison life. This in
deed will be an interesting lecture fol
the people Of this city, as Mr.. Seely wa
in the rebel prison some twenty months
Garfield Post is to be congratulated on
getting this gentlemen to lecture fol
them.
A FIVE foot vein Of coal has been dis.
covered in Kansas. about sixteen miles
south of Red Cloud, at an average
depth of fifty feet. There is no doubt
but what there is plenty of coal to be
had in Webster county by simply
mining for it, evidence of which has
already been proven by parties who
have been prospecting. Let Red
Cloud make an effort ia put down q
shaft. A coal mine would be a big
bonanza for us, and furnish plenty OF
cheap coal.
THERE is some agitation in this
place in reference to starting q build.
ing association. A scheme of this
kind would be a great benefit to Red
Cloud if properly carried on, and We
therefore hope it will be a success.
Great benefit can be derived from a
building association, and many a poor
man could build a house and pay fcr
it in monthly installments. 1t would
provide homes for many who have to
rent and are not otherwise prepared
to build for themselves.
As THE state press association is 8
