to meet all old customers and
make many new.

There will be but one high
school in Julesburg next year.
This will be the county high
school and it will be conducted
in the old county building on the
corner of Second and Pine
streets. An entire new corps of
teachers will be employed. This
course was decided upon at a
meeting of the county high
school board last Friday. The
taxpayers in the county, espec-
tally those in Julesburg, are
generally pleased that they will
not be compelled to bear the ex-
pense of two high schools.
E. F. Stephens. manager of
the Crete Nurseries, is in the
Platte valley looking after their
branch commercial orchards.
From these orchards they plan
in the near future to supply our
people with apples, plums and
small fruits. Thirty four years
experience with fruits suited to
Nebraska enables Mr.. Stephens
to select and plant varieties one
hundred per cent harder than
those often sold by travelling
statesmen. Only the hardest
known varieties should be plant
ed.
