The Christmas eve entertainment
in the NJ. E. church was we'll rendered
and appreciated by full house. The
program was spiritual and intellect
ual but comic and laughable at times.
The tableau crock of Ages' was a
forceful sermon in itself. Santa, at
tired in his usual regalia, bestowed
his presents freely upon the crowd,
among which was beautiful lamp
for the paster and his wife. With
merry hearts we await his coming
again.
Messrs. Strandness g. Furaas, of
Hannaford, have purchased the general
merchandise business of A. Thompson
& Sons, Of Finley, which also includes
the building stock and residence.
The firm will take charge of the Fin
ley store about the latter part of
February. The COURIER regrets to
see this firm remove from Hannaford.
We take great pleasure in.recommend-
ing them to the people of Finley as
gentlemen who are strictly upright in
every way and who will be found to be
progressive and wide-awake citizens.
They have been very much pleased
with their patronage received from
the people of Hannaford and move
away for the sole reason that they
want a location where they can have
a larger territory to draw from and
consequently a much larger business.
The COURIER heartily wishes them
success at Finley.

Citizens all over the state will
regret exceedingly to learn of
the death of G. w. Getchell,
private secretary to the governor,
which occurred in the executive
mansion Christmas day. He
was thirty years old and served
in the Philippines as a lieutenant
with the North Dakota troops.
He was a genial, large hearted
young man, and had a host of
admirers all over the state. His
death was due to heart failure
brought on by rheumatism.
A backward glance at the old
year which has just departed
shows that the people of the
United States have prospered
exceedingly during the year.
All kinds of industries have
been working full time, barring
the coal mines, and orders for
all kinds of goods have been fill
ed slowly on account of the in
creased demand. In many Sec
tions of the country the wages
of the laboring classes have been
raised and work has been abund-
ant. In the agricultural sections
of the country our farmers have
been prosperous. Money has
not been as plentiful as in other
years for distribution among the
merchants, but there has been a
big movement in real estate and
that is where the money goes.
Farmers have been buying more
land and improving their houses
and out buildings. The new
year starts out with fattering
prospects as we see it. All
classes and conditions are happy
and we sincerely hope that every.
body will experience a very hap
py and prosperous new year.

At the last election in Silver
Bow precinct in Montana there
was tie vote between a republi-
can and a democrat for the legis-
lature. The governor ordered q
new election and again the result
was a tie. Considering the fact
that the copper kings of Montana
are millionaires and are fighting
each other for supremacy and
each side wants the United States
senator, the voters are very hon
est in that precinct-or else the
millionaires did not hang up a
big enough purse to induce the
change of a vote or two.

The fight for the speakership
of the house of representatives
has changed considerably in the
past two weeks. The action of
the seventh judicial district in
endorsing Senator Hansbrough
and Thomas Baker of Cass coun.
ty for speaker, has made the lat
ter gentleman's chances much
brighter as we'll as those of the
senator. The fight seems to have
narrowed down to Messrs. Young
and Baker with the chances q
little in favor of the latter. We
were in hopes that our own Mr..
Cassell would be the next
speaker.

If Senator Hansbrough is re-
elected-and the chances are that
he will be, according to the way
things are shaping themselves;
what place on the map will the
sixteenth legislative district
have? We will still have a set of
fool resolutions to look at, at any
rate.

a pretty wedding occurred at the
home of Mrs. G. W. Beck of University
Place on New Years day at noon, when
Miss Lena Beck and Gustave w.
Dishong were united in marriage by
Rev. W. J. Crago. The house was
tastefully decorated in white and green
and red hearts. AS the bridal party
entered the room the brides sister sang
"All for You," and during the ceremony
the strains of the "Flower Song" vi
brated softly through the rooms. Mrs
Davis Evans, sister of the groom, was
bridesmaid and John G. Beck, brother
of the bride acted as best man. a
d al inty three-course luncheon was
served. The bride was dressed in sheer
white, with point lace, and carried

The TRIBUNE has occasion to believe
that no crop can excel the sugar-beet
crop for profit in this part of Nebraska.
If any one can call to mind any product
of the soil that can secure a prompt and
ready market at cash price that will
exceed the sugar beet. we have space for
the facts. And then we can raise the
sugar-beets with every reasonable GER
tainty, and we can't say as much about
many other crops. The sugar-beet bus
mess at it's worst is good thing, and
should be pushed along. There are
some aggravating drawbacks, but the
profit side of the ledger shows favorably
on the side of the farmer producing them,
provided the producer is not afraid of
work.

OrleanS-St. Francis.

ORLEANS, Neb., Jan. 6, 1908. Especial
to The Tribune. 1902 was prosperous
year for the Orleans and st. Francis
branch; favored with heavy wheat
crop, very healthy alfalfa harvest, a
good showing in live stock, poultry and
various products, the farmers have bank
accounts in their favor, and the emerchants
never did a more prosperous business.
The Burlipgton's traffic in hauling
wheat and merchandise has been a
record breaker. Trains arrived daily at
Orleans with 1000 tons of wheat and
extras had to relieve the over-burdened
regulars to raise the wheat blockade.
This was the situation until the great
demand for coal-cars-to relieve the
eastern coal famine with Colorado coal
sent the boX-cars eastward, and today
"a large amount of choice wheat is in the
farmers granaries, from Orleans to St.
Francis.
Herndon, Kansas, has the proud dis
tinction of being the banner district for
winter wheat in all Kansas. Three
fields yielded between so and 60 bushels
per acre and of quality that makes the
miller glad. Grain men from Kansas
City and other points have been making
the line and the competition has been
close. The winter wheat crop of the st.
Francis branch, this year, has seldom
been equaled and never surpassed.
Marked improvements are seen along
the valley, harbingers of prosperity and
wealth. Powell & Nilsson have erected
an up -to-date grain elevator at Marion,
the youngest child of the family of the
st. Francis stations. Dryden Pew has
built splendid, two story modern brick
at Wilsonville and the Masonic brethren
have frst-class hall above his new drug
store. E. G. Parker is building a double,
two story brick on the south. Wilson
vile is growing -..
Along the valley, the thrifty farmers
are building large red barns and substan-

wheat, the trinity of success that has
made this branch famous, has brought
forth these blessings and made the prac-
tical farmers independent, with good |
bank account, surrounded with evidences
of thrift that is the backbone of national |
prosperity.
The heavy SHOWS that fell a few weeks
ago covers the ground and winter wheat
is in prime condition.

NAPOLEON said that God is on1the side
of the strongest battalion and the good
book says that God helps those who
help themselves, which THE TRIBUNE
translates to mean that those who will
win in any avocation of life must help
b e ms e lv e s-must bend their best
energies toward making a success of any
thing they undertake, be it in busi-
ness, in professional life, or on the farm,
or in the shop. In word the success
full, winning man must not be afraid of
work, even hard work. And the less
time he devotes of his short and valuable
allowance on earth to fault finding and
kicking generally and the more he
hustles, the greater will be his measure
of success and the fatter his bank-ac-
count. Now then for the application ::
THE TRIBUNE imagines that our farmers
have not had all the best of it, the last
season, in the production of sugar-beets,
that is there have been some things not
quite satisfactory and clear, in a measure
due to the fact that we are removed from
the factory-it would be much better if
the beets could be delivered direct to the
factory, perhaps. But under all the
circumstances the facts are that those
h o b ave shipped beets fr O m
McCook and vicinity have made
very fair profit, more than those who
raised corn, wheat or any other product
of the soil. We make bold to say that
the farmer who does not increase his
acreage of beets, next season, will not
act wisely nor in the interest of bis
pocket-book. There are disadvantages
in all lines of business, but the profit
side Of the sugar-beet raising business is
way above all its drawbacks. Push it
along. Increase the acreage and pro
duction. There is money in it. 1t will
increase the value of your land. It's
good thing.
