The Harvest Excursions.

As will be seen by the announcement
appearing elsewhere in this issue, the
Burlington has already made provision
for running a number of harvest excur-
sions from the east to the Missouri river
and western points. The first excursion
will be run August ~, the second Sept
ember II, the closing October 10th.
If this portion of the valley is DESTROYS
of securing its share of the immigration
these excursions will attract, it behooves
us to make the proper effort in that di-
rection. Mr.. Francis, passenger and
ticket agent of the B. & NJ, in speaking
of the harvest excursions, says that is
impossible for the railroads to call atten-
ton to the many advantageous districts
traversed by this road, but is compelled
to speak generally in their advertise
ments of the situation. Individual Sec
tons should look after their individual
interests. They should organize and
send men with advertising matter into
the eastern states, with a view of Undue
ing immigration. In that way all sec
tons would be represented and greater
results could be accomplished. What
will McCook do in the premises? If any,
thing, there is no time to lose.

The new Congregational church was
opened for public service on last Sunday
morning and evening. A goodly con
gregation greeted the pastor as he
preached or Sunday morning. In the
evening the chnrch was we'll filled.
Above we give a cut of the building,
also a plan of the interior, showing the
seating capacity. The building has three
rooms: an auditorium, furnished with
circular pews, having a seating capacity
of about three hundred; a lecture room
to the east of the main room, seated with
chairs, having a capacity of one hundred
seats. This one will be used for prayer
meetings, Endeavor meetings, etc. In
the southwest portion of the building is
a large built expressly for the la

That vas a very painful scene witnessed
at the corner of Monroe and Dearborn
streets, Sunday evening, when a certain
young fellow lost the charming compan
ion from his vehicle-at the imperative
request of a mad male relative of the
dulcina. Quite an exciting race pro-
ceeded the change by the girl from the
beau's buggy to the irate relatives cart.
1t was painful.

rothe People of Red Willow County

The fair grounds are being arranged in
excellent shape. New hog and cattle pens
with a good substantial roof over them,
are now in course of construction, and
owners of fine stock in these departments
can now exhibit them to the very best
advantage. Large additions to the horse
stalls are also under way, and the owners
of the grounds may we'll feel proud of
their race track, and are continually try
ing to make it better.
We expect a large exhibit in agricultur-
al products. A few days ago we had the
"blues" all over, but since the fine rains
which lately visited this region have
filed the ground with moisture, all veg
citation has grown wonderfully. Most of
the corn looks fine, all kinds ofvines are
doing well, potatoes are making up for
lost time, and we learn also that there is
considerable small grain in the county.
If you have any kind of products, bring
them to the fair. And let me again call
the attention of the farmers to the pre-
MUM offered for the precinct exhibit.
Go to work at once and get your neigh
bors interested in the fair.
We have offered a premium on honey
as follows: Best display of honey, not
less than three pounds, first premium,
$500, second, $I.oo.
There are quite a number of small
apiaries in the county, let the owners of
these show the public what the bees can
do in Red Willow county. We ask every
man, woman and child in the county to
take an interest in the fair, and if such a
thing is possible, make it a better fair
than ever held here before. Remember
it is only a little wei three weeks till the
time arrives, and this will pass very
So now all together in n united effort
to make it a grand success.

We hear it rumored that the two Has
tings gamblers who recently arrived in
the city contemplate locating here and
opening another gambling establishment
in our midst. If there is one long felt
want longer than another long felt want
it is perhaps another gambling house. To
keep our limited cash out of the 1egiti-

Publisher Abbott of the Hayes Centre
Republican recently drove over to Stock
vile, and among other things he says:
"Upon the return trip with our better
half, fifteen miles west of Stockville we
tarried with Rev. D. L. Mcbride and
family, who are from our native town in
Illinois. Mr.. Mcbride has recently com-
pleted one of the largest sod houses on
earth, it being T-shaped, 1Sx4o and 16x
80 feet. 1t is very commodious and
nicely finished inside with plastering,
hard wood ceiling and tinted wall paper,
and from its interior no n would sup
pose that its walls were built of sod.
Mr.. Mcbride is farming extensively,
having several hundred acres in crops.
He has been very successful, but this
year expects to have only about half a
crop all around, and in fart that is the
position of all his neighbors."

The McEntee Sold.

On last Friday, Larry McEntee and
Michael O'Leary of Indianola made a
trade whereby Larry became the owner
of certain lands and money, and Michael
the proprietor of the McEntee hotel of
our city. Mr.. O'Leary will not secure
possession of the hotel, however, until
February next. Mr.. O'Leary moved in
to the county, near Indiano1a, about a
year since, we understand, from Illinois,
and is a citizen of very considerable
means. He is quite a large land holder.

There's a land far away mid the stars
we are told, where they know not the
sorrows of time; where the printer may
rest with his fob full of gold, and it's not
in the famed sultry clime.-'Tis the land
we would seek-'tis the much desired
goal-where subscriptions are paid with
ont dunning or dole; where the way
weary writer finds rest for his soul, and
he don't send his paper on time.

There seems to be considerable old corr
and small grain in the country. We I'M
derstand that one farmer living on the
Willow north of the city, A. R. Clark,
has about s 900 bushels ofold corn, which
the prospects for a crop this season now
warrant his selling. This is by no means
an isolated case, though perhaps, few
have SO large a quantity of surplus stuff
OF hand. But in a greater or less degree
this is the condition of the majority of
Red Willow county farmers.

rior is finished in Gothic style, colored
glass windows throughout. The wood
work is very neatly painted in light and
dark shades of lemont stone. The inte-
rior is nicely finished, ornamental and

The Congregational people value this
property at $4,000, and have reason to
be proud of their handsome house of
worship, which probably is the most
convenient and largest in Southwestern
Nebraska. With earnest labor by its
membership, a strong support of the
Sunday school services and other meet
ings, this church ought to have a bright
prospect as to its future usefulness.

now stands over four feet high, is vigor-

specimen was grown within an arms
length of the one just referred to, but on
account of being III a slight elevation
did not receive any water. It is about

will bring forth.

The man who is not in love with his
town is destitute of that public spirit
which is characteristic of every genuine
American. He lives without enjoying
life and after his final journey to the
cemetery has been made, his memory is
not long cherished a by a few faith
full souls whose love blinded them to his
s~elhshness. One should always reserve
a considerable space in ones affections
for the town of which he is a resident.
One should be interested in its progress,
fertile in expedients to benefit it and
thoroughly convinced that it is the best
town in the nation. This is the reason
why SO many of the western towns have
such ar astonishing growth. Buckle on
the armor and wade in.
