Ben Ludlow received a copy OF a Ha-
vana daily paper from Jack Pcgg last
week. 1t is filed with advertising and
thus shows that the people there are
up.to date. When a person looks at 1t
and then looks at a Red Cloud paper
it makes him wonder why if it is good
! to advertise there it is not good to adj
%vertiso here.
j. II. Blacklcdgc, accompanied by his
wife was here from Culbcrtson Wed.
nesday. The gentleman is an attorney
and was here for the purpose of look
ing up a location. We do not know
what conclusion the gentleman came
to but we believe a good attorney can
do well and succeed in Red Cloud and
} we hope he will decide to locate here.
The CHIEF this week secured the
contract for printing the Revised Or
dinances, Of the city Of Red Cloud"
The book, and also the ordinances will
be somewhat different from the old one
and will be ready for inspection about
3 the first OF April. 1t would probably
, be q good thing for many Of our citi-
, Gems to read them over as it might even.
. tually save them money.
The trees around the court house
, look like q wheatfield after 1t has been
gone over with a header Probably 1t
would be q good thing for some n to
propose to the commissioner to cut
down all the cottonwoods now in the
court house yard and replant them
with naples or some other good trees.
This would eventually make a PARK OF
which we could be proud, but cotton
woods never will.
1t is with pleasure that we call tie
attention of our readers to the adver-
tisement of Turnure Bros. on the first
page of this issue. Although this firm
may be considered AS young in bust.
ness in this city, having been here only
"A few years, they have proven
themselves to be first class merchants
handling only first class goods, and as
a consequence Turnure Bros. has be
comeI a household word the country
over.
The city council held two meetings
this week for the purpose of acting on
the electric light proposition but as yet
nothing has resulted. Some features
of the proposition which it was thought
. might be detrimental to the city in the
! future, were eliminated, and nothing
further will be done until the promot
} ers are again heard from. Another
meeting of the council will be held al
soon as they are heard from at which
time final action will be taken on thu
proposition.
Last week W. spoke in a general man
} ner of the large stocks Of goods which
J had been received by our merchants
Among these stocks we this week not
iced that Of W. w. Wright and to sa,
I that he carries an immense stock is put
! ting il mildly. His general stock O
) hardware in all lines is complete anS
} when IL comes to cook stoves ant
, ranges this line is away ahead OF what
is generally carried in a town the siz'
4 of Red Cloud. Long lines Of stoves
! which are not only good cookers bu
J things of beauty will be found In thil
, up.to.date hardware store.
