The next number of the enter
tainment course of the Young
Peoples union will be the
Barbour company on Jan. oath.
The Lonergan building, on
tn North side, is being fitted up
for a bakery which will be opened
about the 1st of next month by
gentleman from Batavia, Ill.
The brand of weather this
winter has caused the "oldest
settler" to scratch his think-tank
in an effort to recollect one just
like it in the early days.
If coat or two of paint were
given the city hall-it would not
appear to stranger that Broken
Bow is sure enough busted"
Why not apply the contributions
of the gamblers to that laudable
purpose.
James Ledwich returned last
Saturday from a ten days
absence from home visiting in
Omaha, and with his sister at
DesMoines, Iowa, accompanied
on the trip by his daughter, Miss
Ruth Ledwich. He says there
is no snow on the ground in Iowa
and the weather fine.
Willis Caldwell reached the
city Tuesday from Houston,
Texas, where he is engaged in
the real estate business and has
been sojourning for several weeks.
He is endeavoring to close up his
business affairs here so he can
move there permanently, and the
first of next week will go again
with a party of eastern land
seekers. He says the Texas
coast country looks good to every
body who sees it and realty |
prices are steadily advancing.
Custer College opened Monday,
after the holiday vacation, with |
twenty-one new students present,
making a total of seventy-five.
This is certainly as good, if not |
better, showing than ever made
by such an institution, Custer
College having been opened on
September 10th last. President |
Cornett and his corps of assist
ants are certainly deserving of a
large attendance and will surely |
be rewarded Herewith, for each
student is so we'll pleased that |
they will influence others, so that
next year the attendance will be |
at least double the present
number.
The board of supervisors con-
vened Tuesday and buckled right
down to business after electing
A. Fonda chairman for the
ensuing year, deserved honor.
Mr.. Fonda, during his three years
service as member of the board
has been careful, painstaking,
faithful and ever alert to the best
interests Of the tax payers,
zealously attending to the duties
of his official position, all of
which being patent to his associ-
ates they wisely selected him for
their presiding officer and the
REPUBLICAN is satisfied he will
perform the duties with credit
and honor to both himself and
the county.
We have been asked by several
citizens if it is the intention to
raise sthe price of subscription
for the REPUBLICAN, the query
being caused, undoubtedly, by
the large amount contained in
the paper recently. To all who
may have thought the price
would be raised we desire to state
that it will not. At one dollar
per year fair profit is derived,
provided subscribers pay up, and
the patrons of the REPUBLICAN
are nearly all that class of people.
There are some on the list, how
ever, who would assist very |
materially should they step up to
the captains desk and secure a
receipt-or have one sent them
by mail.
Two weeks ago the REPUB-
LIcAN told how John McGraw's
parents had saved about $27 by
going from Broken Bow to Grand
Island and purchasing tickets
from there to Logansport, Ind,
from the Union Pacific. Mr..
Ormsby, agent in this city for
the Burlington, could not under
stand how such a thing could be
