Dodson, of the "Famous," is off on a little whir) to St. Louis and other eastern points. Art. Moses left for his home in Pueblo to-day, after a visit of a few days to the boys here. A cold wave has struck us, and the tinkle, tinkle of the coal wagon bell is ringing through the land. Mrs. Hattie . Shaw and her little daughter, from Bloomington, Ills., are visiting with her sister, Mrs. Hess. If you want to get up a reputation for sociability early in the season, build a good, snug fire in your store room stove. Mr. II. Laugfeld, of Ellin wood, the democratic nominee for Commis sioner for the 1st district, was a caller at this office Tuesday, FOR SALE. I have for sale at my elevator, good, clean Nebraska Oats, at 32 cents per bushel. dlmCm J. B. Daniels. Dr. M. Tulles has gone out of the drug business, and expects to open a dental office in the city soon, and give that profession his entire attention. Charlie Cline, a brother of Frank Cjline, of Clarence township, arrived this week from Illinois. He brings Lis wife and family and his mother, and will make Bartou county his home. We bid him welcome. Dr. Shaw . reports the following persons under his care at Pawnee Rock, most of them having fevers, cither typhoid or typho-malarial: J. R. Baker; Jim Kelley, Jim Paine, Johnnie Drummond, Earnest Smith's child, and the proprietor of the Rock Hotel, J. H. Flick. "There was an old woman lived in her shoe, she had so many children she didn't'' but this old woman ap pears as though she did know what to do, for she goes at it just like an old practical hand. Her operations can be witnessed almost any evening in the show window at the "Boston." The democrats of Union township met on the 21st inst. and put in nom ination the following township ticket: For trustee, S. T.Coons; clerk, Miller McCounell; treasurer, Joel Dickerson; constables, Tom Connelly and Chas. Duelling ; road supervisors, George Cragan, P. H. Gory, Zusank and Boorher. Mr. J. M. Donley, of: Knoxville, Iowa, has been in the county a week or so, and made a call at this office Tuesday, before returning home. Mr. Donley has some land interests in Barton county, and came out to "view the landscape o'er." May he return well pleased with the outlook, is our wish. If Mr. Jones continues to make the progress he is making with the city waterworks he will probably be able to throw a stream when the roses come again. The stand pipe is s!ow ly reaching up into the atmosphere, and the main pipes have reached out into the suburbs long enou h ago to have been decently interred. Dr. Royce, secretary of the Amer ican Coursing Club, is in the city, having arrived this morning. He goes to Kinsley in a day or so, when he will return again and remain here until after the meeting of the Club. The Doctor is very confident that we will have a successful meeting here this fall again, and says the interest in its success is becoming widespread and general. The Morrison Bros., hotel has now reached the second story. It will be a maguificient structure when com pleted, and will add greatly to the attractiveness of our city. The im mense amount of material being used is a surprise to the oldest inhabitants, and as the material is all of the best quality the gentlemen interested in the enterprise should have the com mendation of the public.

The buisness of agriculture, and so the best interests of the country, will continue to suffer so long as in most rural families the one boy "who is fit for nothing else" is left to carry on the farm. Brains and "faculty" are need ed in cultivating the earth as well as in other callings. The Nevasota (Texas) Tablet scarcastically hits of some of the charcteristic points of the man who is everything that a farmer ought not to be: "The one-horse farmer has a life long ambition to gain a reputatation for wearing a dirty shirt. "He will alarm the neighborhood by getting up two hours before day, and then sit around and not go to work until after suu-up- "He will ride around a week look ing for a two-dollar hog. "He will complain of hard times; then tear hi3 pants climbing a fence where a gate ought to be. "He will pay lhree 'dollars for a new bridle, and then let the calf chew it to pieces before Sunday. "He will get all his neighbors to help in getting a cow out of the bog, and then let her die for want of atten- tion. "Stock will get in and destroy his crops at a place in the fence that he has put off fixing for six months. "He will sprain his back lifting something: to show how strong he is.
