An exchange pertinently remarks:
sThe darkest hour is said to be just
before dawn. If the farmer feels sore
ly ~aggrieved at the price of hogs, cat.
tie, corn, wheat or anything else he
may have to sell, he must bear in mind
that the world has often faced just
such critical periods before, and that
this period of depression in prices
must sooner or later be relieved just as
the others have gone before. We
have all seen hogs sell lower than they
are selling today, and then we have
seen a good long stretch of profitable
prices since that time. Let every man
go right ahead as best he car in his
usual rountlne of work with the firm
belief that things will assume better
shape by and by. 1. is his right and
duty to work intelligently and forhim-
self and this is a good year for him to
do So"

The han who bears the name head
ing this article was born in Atlanta,
illinois, IS years ago, and in 1867
while yet a small lad, moved with his
parents to Jefferson county, this state,
before the commonwealth had entered
statehood. In 1868 he went to Kansas,
living in Smith county until 1885,
when he came to Cherry county and
settled on a homestead on the Loup,
where he farmed during the summers
and taught school in Brown county in
the winters until 1889, when he came
to Valentine as county judge-eleet by
virtue of republican votes, and has
ever since remained here. Mr.. Walcott
first took up the study of law with r.
NJ. Picker IN Smith Center, Kansas, in
1880, and was admitted to the bar By
Judge Critics of this district in 1891,
while holding the position of county
judge. He was admitted to practice
before the supreme and U. s. district
courts in 1893. Four times has he
been elected judge in Cherry county,
and is now the. candidate of the
republican party for prosecuting attor-
ney. His resord as a Judge is well
known and needs no comment. Both
he and Mr.. Tharston are making a
clean fight for the a~ttorneyship and
neither need feel disgraced If defeated.

Two Conversations.
q. r. Billings ana Robert Good n0Ini
mated for Rebresentative.

The populist convention of the sd
representative district was called to
order at Sparks last Saturday after
noon by d. W. Beatty, of Norden.
j. w. Williams nominated DR.. Beatty
for chairman and Y. T. Chambers
nominated j. W. Williams for secre-
tary. Both men were elected without
opposition. The chair appointed the
remaining two delegates, V. T. Cham
bers and w. F. Morgareidge, as a
committee on credentials. The COM
mite reported eight delegates en-
titled to seats. OF this number four
were present.
Election of a district committee was
next and Geo. Reinert was made
chairman of same. Harvey Millay
was elected committeeman from Keya
Paha. At this point resolutions were
deemed to be IN order, and the resolu-
tions adopted by the senatorial con-
vention were also adopted by this
convention. The resolutions were
neither read nor presented, so we are
unable to testify to their worth or lack
of worth.
A motion was made and carried that
Robert Good be invited to speak to the
convention, which he did. The tenor
of his remarks will be found on the
editorial page of this paper. None of
the delegates present disputed the facts
set forth by Mr.. Good, but they refused
bis proposition by a vote of 6 to 2, SO
an informal ballot on representative
was taken. which resulted: 0. P.
Billings 3, Z. e. Sparks 5. Mr.. Sparks
in a neat little speech withdrew from,
the contest and requested that on the
formal ballot Cherry county cast her
FIVE votes for Billings, which was done.
The convention then adjourned.
The convention of the democrats OF
the SD representative district was
called to order last Saturday by Robert
Good, five of eight delegates being
present. The convention was small
but harmonious and enthusiastic, and
an organization was effected by the
election Of W. E. Haley chairman and
Robert Good secretary. Both gentle.
men accepted the position in neat Lit.
tie speeches and the convention pro.
ceeded to take off its coat and get tc
work.
After thoroughly discussing the sit
uation nominations for representative
!, were called for, and The name O.
Robert Good was presented. Keys
Paha having no candidate, on motion
nominations were closed and Rober
Good unanimously declared the nomi
nee Of the convention. The honor wa
accepted by MI. Good who promised
to hew to the line and let democrats
know they had a candidate to vote fol-
in at least one district. This senti.
ment was loudly applauded.
A district organization was effected
by the election of J. M. Coble com
