Lille Hamlin stopped of at Sam
Hodney's last Saturday to try the
clinkety clank of their dishes for
while. It will be a feather in her
hat, if she don't get homesick.
George Mcclellan threshed his grain
this week, and he will have piles of
wheat and a bankful of money. This
year is a good year for our large
farmers, and we are glad to see them
make good their former losses.
Ed Limberg has a splinter new
wagon.

granary 1Ox1s feet.

Denver. Dec. ia special from
Leadville to the Republican says: =
An important question which is now
agitating the minds of the people Of
this city is whether or not the City
Council Is going to renew the contract
with the Leadvllle Water Company,
which expires on January 9th. n
The Leadville Water Company has
had twenty-year contract with the
city Of Leadville and during that time
has received large amount of money
FOR furnishing the city with water. The
contract which expires next month has
been repeatedly complained about, but
the city was unable to do anything ow-
ing to lis contract for twenty years.
The Water Company has filed reincor-
poration papers for S40O,0OO and II is
quite evident that 1t intends to make A
bid to again get this business. There
is every promise of hot fight oyer the
matter. fil f4lf ili-l III
At a recent meeting of the City Goup.
I'll the committee OH water was in
rtructed to inquire into the feasibility
or purchasing the plant or of entering
INTO another contract. Several execri.
I'VE sessions have been held, but no
definite steps have yet been taken. The
contract now In force provides that the
city can tnke over the plant OF the ,Dm-
pany at the expiration of the contraet
on valuation determined by five neo'

Ihere is strong disposition among
consumers OF water in the city to have
the city own the plant and thus save

Southern Democrats rhink He Is Making
n Mis'Rkr.

Chicago. Dec. ia dispatch from
Atlanta to the Chicago Record says:
Many of MIR. Bryan's warmest ad-
mlrers m this section believe he is
making mistake In attempting to as-
sumo the leadership of that opposition,
ns he has announced his intention to
do. He told the Associated Press agent
at Savannah the other day that his de-
sire to enter actively into the fight
against a colonial policy was his chief
reason forhrcsigning from the army,
and that he should devote his entire
time to that purpose hereafter Many
OF his friends and followers here de-
plore this decision-first, because they
realize that his leadership will unite
the Republicans in support of the Pres
ident; and. second. knowing Mr..
Bryan's peculiar habit of permitting
himself to he absorbed by single
Idea. they fear he will abandon the
financial doctrine of which he is the
apostle and allow the free silver move
ment to ilanguish. They recognize also
that the expansion sentiment Is strong
est in the West. where Bryan has been
most popular, and where many OF his
most ardent supporters have already
committed themselves to the admins
tration policy. For him TO echo the
conservative sentiment OF the East and
attempt to lead men who will not be
likely to follow him they consider n
great political mistake.
