wye COUNTY DIVISION PKOJECr

Nye county has not M INDECENT;
has only one prisoner, an Indian IN
the county Jail; has fewer poor people
than any other county in the state;
has more than most coun
ties; has q public school whenever
there are FIVE pupils of school age;
has q very small, MISUNDERSTANDING
debt, and yet it has q few dissatisfied
| citizens who would gladly see its or
ganization destroyed and its territory
divided among less prosperous coun-
ties than their own.
To these citizens the Courier a
often said and will say again. that the
state of affairs that they desire can
never be obtained by segregation.
1t is true that her tax rate is high,
but where are valuations lower? Just
at present business of all kinds is very
dull in Nye county, but this state OF
affairs exists all over Nevada, and in
fact all over the United States, and
every thoughtful person knows the
reason-the demonstration OF silver.
Let the residents Of Nye be patriotic
and do their duty as citizens if they
desire a prosperous county, for it is
not places but people that make pro-
gressive commonwealth.

Future of the Bicycle.

It is agreed by all bicycle manufac-

the perfect wheel. Improvement
seems to be impossible. Precisely the
same thing is true Of Hostetter's Stom-

of science in overcoming disease, and
it is impossible to make a better medi-
cine for the stomach, liver. kidneys
and blood. A few doses Of the Bit
tiers will start weak, ervou and
bloodless people on the road to
strength. A regular ours Of treat
ment will bring back the pink to the
cheeks and sparkle to the eye. Sleep
will come naturally. and it will be re-
freshing and healthful. Dyspepsia,
indigestion and constipation will be
completely banished, and the bless
ings of true health bestowed. Never
take a substitute for this perfect rem
edy.
