County Supt. Pinckney is

O. p. Allphin, the Ansley
druggist, spent Monday in the
city, summoned here as a witness
in a case in District court. He
reported business in his home
town as quite lively this spring,
freely confessing that there is
not better town in the state, of
its size, and with every prospect
of a rapid and substantial growth,
as many new people are coming
there from the east to permantly
reside.
In moving the pile driver at
work on the Fifth street bridge,
Monday morning, one of the guy
ropes was slackened too much
and that machine topped over
and struck the spot where Mayor
George had but vacated only a
few seconds. 1t was such a close
call of either death or being
manned for life that His Excel
lency now watches the work
from distance-through a
telescope.
Alex Polkinghorn was in Mon
day from his plantation in Rose
Valley, 9 miles northeast of this
city, and expressed the opinion
that the recent frosts had COM
pletely ruined his crop of bana1a
He also reported the arrival of
girl baby. Sunday, at the home
of his neighbor and friend,
James Schmidt, who is so happy
he doesn't care if the whole dod-
gasted fruit crop is ruined since
the arrival of this little peach.
Attorney r. A. Moore, who
went to Hot Springs, Ark, more
than two months ago suffering
severely with rheumatism, has
recovered therefrom to a certain
extent, and as much as could
reasonably be expected when his
condition at the time of going
there is taken into consideration.
He writes that he has a new
lease on life, anyhow, and hopes
to be able to return to Broken
Bow the first week i'll next month,
yet he is not sure he will be able
to do so.
Articles or notices for public
alton in the REPUBLIcAN-sent
by mail should be addressed to
THE REPUBLICAN, Broken Bow,
Neb., and not to either the
publisher or editor personally
to insure prompt publication.
Sometimes notices for publication
haven't been published because
they were addressed personally
to the publisher and he was out
of town. Letters addressed per-
sonally, to either publisher or
editor, are not opened by the
other fellow, but they each take
shot at an enveloped addressed
to THE REPUBLICAN.
Scott Cooper has the court
house yard in more than excellent
condition this spring and by
diligence-and accurate aim with
brick bats -has taught the city
CANNES to keep off the grass.
Occasionally a dog from the
country visits that part of the
city and discovers that Cooper's
plant is an excellent place
for a frolic, but he no sooner
begins his maneuvers that Scott's
eagle eye ferrets him out and
then there's a "skiddo" address
by that gentleman with brick
slime demonstration and that
country cousin steers clear of that
particular spot on all subsequent
visits to the city.
