That's The Truth /.

The drift of settlers from the sun
scorched counties of the far west is be-
ginning to reach the eastern border of
the state, says the State Journal Many
of the travellers remained on their home
steads until starvation stared them in
the face. The help they now need to
reach their friends will be furnished by
the better favored people in the eastern
part of the state. There is nothing akin
to Coxeyism in this migration We all
know what kind of stuff these pioneers
are made of. They are strong, self-re1i-
ant ,enterprising and industrious citizens,
Many of them will be obliged to ask for
assistance as they pass through the east
ern counties, and we are sure that it will
be given willingly, accompanied by kind
and encouraging words. The pioneers
have been beaten back several times by
adversely since the line of settlement
crossed the Missouri river, but civiliza-
has steadily moved toward the base of
the Rockies. Their repulse is now but
temporary. In another year they will
again be at the front, and IN time they
will triumph over savage nature and
change the wilderness into a garden.
The state owes these fighters at the out
posts of civilization more than it can
ever hope to pay. 1t can do something
to lessen the debt by supplying their
modest wants during this temporary
retreat

Someone who wants to explain what
the editorial 1--WE" signifies, says it has
a variety of meanings, varied to suit the
circumstances. For an example: When
you read that eve expect our wife home

chief; when it is I'VE are a little late
with our work. it includes the whole

SOMETHING VERY INTERESTING
To the Head Of the Family from the
McCook Mercantile Co.

The McCook Merchantile Co. has Just
received full line of Hats and Caps, and
an excellent assortment of Mems and
Boys Clothing on which prices will be
made to suit the times Also another
car load of that White Bread Hebron
Flour, which is as good as any 90 cent
flour sold in this locality, which they
will sell for IS cents: they guarantee this
flour; try it and be convinced of its good
qualities, and save so cents hundred
on your flour.
Their prices on all goods are as low as
ever, and they still continue to defy
competition on prices.
The advice of all who know is, to do
your trading with McCook Mercantile
Co., if you wish to reduce your living
expenses these hard times.

An editor works 1854 days per year
to get out 81 issues of paper-that's
labor. Once in a while somebody pays
years subscription that's capital.
And once in a while some dead beat
takes the paper for year Or two and
vanishes without paying for it-that's
anarchy. But later on justice will over
