The young men who receive promo
ton are the young men who don't drink
on the sly. They are not the men who
watch for the clock to strike y, and
leave their picks hanging in the air.
They are not men who growI if they are
required to attend to some. duty five
minutes after the bell has sounded.
They are usually the men W 10 pay the
closest attention to the detail S of their
business; who account they W, re trying
to work for their employers interest,
instead of trying to beat him a every
crock and turn. They are the men who
give closest attention to every tactical
detail, and who look continually to see
whether they can do any better Or not.
This class of men are never ont of
job. They are scarce; they never loaf;
and they do not ask for their pay two
or Three weeks before pay day,

Sam is very jovial sort of a funny
man; he enjoys fun. Did you ever hear
the laugh of a non cOmpOS nlentiS person?
Sammy has that laugh down pat.
He will start the gurgle and at

to match, but there he falls down.
Sammy, buy a clowns mask and when
the awful funny part of your last
suicidal act gets in its work on your
Liliputian intellect clap on the mask and
your antics will please your ringmaster.
You would loom up immense as a Gias-

ADJUSTMENTS.

The skating rink, under the manage
ment Of Mr.. r. ID. Parker, of Beloit, is
again the leading place of amusement
for our young people. Mr.. Parker is an
experienced skating rink man, having
successfully run the rink at Beloit for
the last few years, and has gone to the
expense Of buying new skates and lay
ing hard maple floor in Cases hall.
With these advantages, and his gentle
manly management, there is no doubt
but what his success will be without a
precedent in this city. He intends to
inaugurate a series or Polo games, BY
cycle riding, Racing, and other attrac-
tive features, which will come in regu-
lar order. The first attraction will be
a Fancy Dress Carnival on Friday
evening, Jan. 10Th. y fine pair of
club skates will be pre-
sented to the lady appearing on skates
in the most unique costume. Every one
should attend this Carnival for it will
be novel and pleasing.

Tie AdrOcdte, published at Atwood,
Colorado, by John w. Wilson, shows
thrift and prosperity, and the REFLEC-
TOR is pleased to learn that John and
Homer are doing well in their new
home. As to the town and country in
which they are interested the AdrOcate
says: The new town of Atwood is not
only the best town site on the Denver
and Omaha short line, but is surround
ed by the largest area of first-claSs agri-
cultural lands, and will be the largest
and most pOpulous town on the line.
No other town on the road is so favobly
located, with as large territory natu-
rally tributary to it, as Atwood. This
fact is conceded by all who are familiar
with the geography of the country.
The valley and table lands are rich and
free from injury by alkali beds. The
fine valley of the Pawnee unites with
that Of 1.-THE river at Atwood, rendering
Atwood an objective point for another
railroad in the near future. Now is
the time for enterprising farmers and
business men to settle here and start in
with the onward development and
growth of the country

en- the Judas to the men who elected
him to the Office of County Commission
er, some three years ago? In giving
the county printing solely to the Gazette,
did he not know that he was flying in
the face of nearly every voter in the
county? Did he not know that the
people generally favored the plan of
giving the printing to the three papers
published in Abilene, so that all alike
could keep posted in the cOunty's do
ings? Mr.. Bricker, did you sell out
Yourself for bottle of beer and show
ticket, or did you do so for an imagi-
nary wrong? In either case it was
fearful sacrifice Of principle for very
small pay. Do you believe, Mr.. Brick
er, that the readers of the Chronicle and
REFLECTOR have no rights that should
be respected? There is little excuse
for Mr.. Blevins' action, as it is believed
by many he has stock i'll the Gazette,
but there is none for you. Mr.. Bricker,
your administration was approved up to
the last meeting, when, like. a good
COW giving pail full of milk, kicked it
all over. Mr.. Bricker, until you can
answer these questions satisfactorily
you are politically damned.
