We stand to dav as a nation exempt

in the power of any people upon earth
much to harm us. except our own peo-
pie. We do not say this in any spirit Of

fulness: for that divine providence which
has given us such location and assign
ment among the nations of the earth that
no people of great power touches US on
Gny side. All the more exempt from
thoughts of foreign assault. ought our
thoughts turn to dangers which are in
ternal, and from which, alone, We can
have serious harm. All the more should

Last week smut wheat was reported
from various parts of the county and i
was feared that wheat throughout the
county was largely infested with the
disease. The fear proves happily to be
unfounded and the largest, best and
finest crop of wheat ever seen in this
country is now being harvested. 1t is es
timated that the average yield per acre
in the county will not be less than q
bushels.
1t Is with pleasure that in travelling
over the county we note the decided I'M
provement in farming this over any pre-
vious year. The corn has been well cult
waited and the weeds kept down. 1t seems
that some of our farmers have pursued
the shiftless methods of fprevious years
and the difference is at once noticed in
the stand and appearance of the crops.
Grain win not grow without work ON
these prairies and this vet year more
than ever proves the proposition.

well. Colby was not celebrating publicly
this year. In the afternoon the trial Of
one of our prominent citizens for NAL
practice was held before Judge Blank,
with a jury of SO citizens. Both plaintiff
and defendant were represented by
prominent counsel, and the plaintiff max
ing such q strong, eloquent and personal
plea to the jury, induced the conscience
stricken defendant to offer compromise,
which, after considerable parley was &C.
cepted, and thus closed the great lawsuit
of modern times in Colby.
Altogether the day was well observed
and happily spent by our citizens
throughout the county.
