Thomas County cat., 1890-09-04


Judge will put in more wheat this fall
than last.
Services were held at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday by Rev. Bracken.
The Reverend is a fluent talker, and in
terests his audience. He will be here
again four weeks from last Sunday, and
will administer the sacrament of the
Lords Supper.
The common in front of the court
house has been selected as the ground
for the G. A. r. encampment. 1t will be
handy to the Jail. but this had nothing
to do with selecting the location. A
grand good time will be had and fifty
tents occupied.
City Marshal j. E. Meglemre has been
appointed Office of the day during the G.
A. R. encampment to be held here Sept.
II, IS and 10. A better choice could not
have been made, and it is unnecessary to
state that the "Vets" will hardly want to
try his strength.
We were at Colby yesterday and found
that the newspaper boys there we're ex-
pecting big attendance at the editorial
association meeting on September 9. and
were making preparations accordingly.
Colby people never do things by halves.
Graphic.
G. A. Wood and family, will leave
Thomas County shortly without expect
ing to return. Mr.. Wood has sold his
quarter. We are sorry to lose the pluck
and energy displayed by him. but trust
that he will meet with success wherever
he may conclude to settle. He moves to
Nebraska for The present..
Never has the school been so complete
ly organized and the pupils 50 equally
graded and qualified as they are at the
pre- sent time and under the present corps
of teachers. There is no reason to doubt
but that it will SO remain during the
whole term. The number in attendance
now is 1874
Grant Stewart and VIM. Colegrove left
Tuesday for California and other western
states, where they expect to make homes
and engage in employment, when they
will remove their families there and re-
side permanently in the future. Grant
expects to work at his trade, printing,
md we wish to say that he is a good,
steady workman, thoroughly acquainted
with the art of printing. and to anyone
Who may engage his services we most
heartily recommend him. as he has held
iown a case in this Office for some time
May success attend them.
Mr.. Will Irwin, the efficient and pop
liar clerk IN the city postofice, has been
discharged on account of the hard times
BY Mr. Irwin's removal the public loses
! faithful servant, one always attending
trictly to duty and ready to extend all
ne accommodations in his power We
laye not learned Mr. Irwin's intentions
or the future, but we can safely predict
hat in any position to which he may be
allied, or in business he may turn his
ttention to, he will prove himself the
anne capable, courteous gentlemen that
e was while in the postoffice. The best
wishes of the people of Colby will always
e with him.
We are sorry TO record the rapidly
ailing health of Sam Wallace our
opular baggage master on the Rock
sland, as he will be obliged to return
ome. Sam has been here some time and
lade many friends by his accommoda
ing manner and courteous treatment to |
Ii with whom he has transacted business. |
lis physician says he is in a critical con-
ition and threatened with paralysis. |
lis sister, Miss Flora, who has been |
isiting here the last few weeks will |
company him to their home in Marshall |
II, tomorrow. Miss Flora gained many
riends during her stay here who regret |
cry much her leaue-taking, and trust |
hat she may be able to return soon and
erhaps make her permanent home
mong them. While We regret to see two
f Colby's young people depart from our
lidst We sincerely hope that Sam may
llly recover and in the near future re-
ame his old position as baggage-master
t the depot.
