Mary had a little lamb,

Its fleece was was white as snow:

But still he fingers near,
And threatens to drive Grover out
Within another year.

A newspaper should be careful in its
denunciation of any man, but it don't
look overly we'll to denounce man one
week. and in the very next week laud
the denounced party to the skies. II a
man is villain one week, the chances
are he is villain the next week. But
then with some newspaper men. as with
some preachers. it is anything to be SEN
satiOnal.
Mr. D. Wallace. formerly of Pratt, has
assumed charge of the c. X. & n. station
at Colby. We had the pleasure of
short call from him on Friday last, and
found him an agreeable young gentle
man. Mr.. Wallace informed US of the
time of the arrival and departure of the
trains on the c. X. & N, which appears
in the time card at the head of the local
columns.
just now We would like to write a
great, deal of politics ourselves. but when
we come to look through our exchanges
we find so many things that we we're
Just going to say said so much better
than we could possibly say them that we
content ourselves by pirating without
credit. Exchanges will please take no.
tice that hereafter we propose like many
of our brethren to steal as much as we
choose.
Read the letter of Charles F. Adams, |
president of the Union Pacific. to the |
Colby Board of Trade in acknowledge
ment of its action with reference to the
Cultivate bill. Mr.. Adams promised |
Colby railroad last year, and in spite of !
difficulties hampering and delaying his
action in the matter, gave US the Oakley
& Colby railway. The great delay was
caused by evils which the Cultivate bill
is designed to overcome and obviate, and
It IS simply an act of justice on the part
Of Colby to do what she can to aid the o.

lime on its mortgage to the government.

many necessary extensions and feeders

ion indicates appreciation, and We take
peat pleasure in publishing his letter.
