We) extend The Ojuntv Fa I'Kit'rt hearty congratulations. fiovernmont is going to discontin ue tin; the coimiiro of nickels. If that is done we are a goner. How dors the government intend to provide for the editors? Such legislation is a .dlreot ttab at the liberty of the press give us nickels or give us death. It Is all right to pray for deliver nueo from sudden death, but that kind of n prayer, bneked up by .1 general re inoval of all disease breeding filth would be more effectual. Nor is it fair to blame Providence for tho sudden death of deatly loved littlo onos, when parents permit ail manner of death' lurching stuff to iiccumulatu in alleys, yards and water closets. I'm the ake of the little ones, always first af fected, clean up. When you rtnrt out to get married, of course you must make up your mind to do everything up in style, and about the starting point is to get up wedding invitations. Tho mode for those I require that they be printed on curds twice as long as they are wide, so that they can he folded once to fit tho squaro envelope used. Script is tho prevailing style of Mtorlng, and the in vitation is given in the name of an aunt, cousin or grand-mother, in the absence A a nearer relative. Tho lady's card accompanying the invitation is smal and thick, and longer than ordinal vl risking card, with her maiden namo in full engraved upon it. If any young mnn of a vertigo intel ligence, whenever ho has twenty-five or fifty cents to spare, Instead of spending it for cigars or beer,wlll buy a good book, in a few years ho will find himself the owner of a good library. The cost of books thus bought Is not felt and it is astonishing how rapidly they will ac cumulate. A large number of itandnrd works are for sale at this olllco, at tin p'reredeutedly low prices. We publish elsewhere a partial list of them, hut we also have many other god hooks not named hi tho list. Hooks are the most ilceeptable of all presents and nro ap propriate for all occasions. At tho price we nffer theso books they ought to sell like hot cakes. Call and get few. The St. Joseph Herald of last Fri day says: "A quiet wedding took place last night In the parlors ol the OocI dental hotel, tho parties being Miss Ida M. Light, daughter of the proprietor, J. 0. Light, and Douglass Hitldwlu of Forest City. Tho ceremony was per formed at 9:30 o'clock by Hev. II. Ilul laiil. Congratulations followed and then came a bountiful rcpust which was partaken nf with a hearty relish. The young couple leave this afternoon for Forest City, their future home, where nil their friends wish them well. The bride is a most estimable lady and has many lino traits of womanly diameter. The rroom is in mercantile business with a brother at Forest City, and is good business man and highly rejected iivnl . The Herald loins witn moir many friends In wishing them well." Wc.inadvcrtcntry failed to call at tcntlon iast week to the big advertise meiit of Will K. Mlnton, Forest City. However, wo aro sure it was seen by everybody, and that everybody was not imlv wllliuir to "excuse him for smll- imr." butrtWas tempted to loin him.

Every farmer should plant a few choleo fruit trees each spring, m order to renew their orchrrds and keep a eon. stant succession of thrifty bearing trees Thoso wlio have no orchards should not fail to plant this spring; nothing U to be gained, and valuable time is lost, by putting tins off until another year.

Doubt less thoro are a great many who never tried this valuable recipe. If you have warts on your hand rub each of them with a bullet, nnd load a gun with tho bullets. Then watch until a vagra nt cat conies along Aim carefnlly at tho cat's head and fire. If all the bullets go into her head it may not euro tho warts, but it will bo a mighty good tlilug for the neighbor hood. Tho Maryvlllo Republican Is res ponsible for tho following whopper: "It is related as a fact that a prominent citizen of Holt countv, who resides in the bottom was scon during the late froshet wading around In his yard, and vigorously prodding around In the water with a pole. When asked what ho was about, ho replied ho wanted to find tlio well to get tho children some water." Tho "Tompernnco" Column In this paper last week was decidedly inttm perate. Of course our rcadors under stand that wc arc not responsible for what appear in that column; and wo certainly do not Indorse such intoler ance as appeared last week. We are friendly to tho Temperance cause, but a few more blasts like that referred to will kill it deader than the nails in Ju lius Caesar's colU'n, so far as the work of tho Alliance In Holt county Is con cerned. Hy notice published at tlio head of tho editorial column on the fourth page, it will be seen that, owing to his long continued and increasing ill health, the editor of this paper wishes to sell a half Interest in it to some one who is compe tent to edit it. He does not propose to sever his connection with the papcr.but wants to relievo himself of the labor of editing It, at least while his health continues as bad as at present. As tlio paper is in a highly prosperous condi tion, this is a line opportunity for some one to secure a lucrative, pleasant, and perfectly safo business. Tills suggestion is from the Scientif ic American, and strikes us as sensible and useful for getting rid of stumps: "In tho autumn or early winter bore a hole one or two inches in diameter, ac cording to tho girth of tho stump, and about two inches deep, put Into It ono or two ounces of saltpeter, till the hole with water and plug it close. In the ensuing spring pour hi about a gill of kerosene oil and ignite It. Tho stump will smoulder away, without blazing, to the very extremity of the roots, leav ing nothing hut the aihes." Why don't mtro of tho farmers of Holt county engago in tlio raising of llax? Tlte Carrollton (Mo.) Record says between 6,000 and 10,000 acres will be put in flax in Carrol i county this season. Heretofore flax has been grown fo- tho seed, but thcro is a large and Increasing demand tor cordage or binding cord, ami Interest in llax citl- ituro is increasing all over tho country. The prico commanded by tho lint adds largely to tho value of the crop, and tho demand la said to bo almost unlimited. Asthovaluu of tho Hut depends large ly upon tho length of tho straw, llax should bo sown on ttrong land, which .should bo very carefully prepared by ho surface smooth, to facilitate cutting lie crop very close to tho ground, and oouritig tho full length of straw, Tho following appeared as a spec- I In tho St, Louis Chronicle of April i, from Moberly, Mo. s A great graft- g swlndlo has beou exposed In this (Jjunty.

Married, at the residence of thu bride's parents, five miles south of Hlgelow, by Hev. Hunt, on Sunday, May loth, 1881, Mr. Lawrence L. Leoso to Miss Catharine Wagoner, all of Holt county. On the seventh of June n special election will bo held In Nodaway county, to decide whether tax of Eighty Thousand Dollars shall be levied to build a now court house and jail at Maryvllle. Tho Hock Port Journal says: "The liver at this rise lias beetS about fitteen inches higher than it was in 18411; which up to this riso was tho highest luce the first settlement of this country by white men. Mr. Georgia Harmon resided where he now does in 1843, and noted the rise then and every big rise since. In 18G7 It rose to within one foot of Ids ' US marK, tho highest rise since '4.1 until tho present oue." One of the heaviest losers from the rocout floods Is Mr. Jacob Hook, who has two saw mills In this county, both of which are lit tho flooded district. His losses will amount to several thou sand dollars; but ho does not despond and Is energetically going to work to regain what ho lost. Ho informs us that matiy renters of small farms in thu battoni arc leaving the county, as they see no way of making a living this year in the overflowed lands. Tlte frequent rains ol tho past two woeks have also greatly retarded farm wrk in the bot toms. It Is feared tlutl in some locali ties lu thu bottom there will be abso lute destitution next whiter, Tlio New York Sun has thu following bit of good news for worrjed mothers and tortured babes: "Thu pain of teething may be almost done away, nnd the health of the child bu benefited, by giving It lino splinters of ice, picked off with a plu, to melt it; 'Its mouth The fragment Is so small that It. Is but a drop of warm water before it can bo swallowed, and tho child has all tho coolness for its feverish gums without tlte slightest injury. Tho avidity with which tho littlo things tato tho cooling morsel ; the Instant quiet which succeod,s hours of frotfulnes, and tho sleep which follows the relief are thu b.ist witnesses to this magic remedy. Ice may be fed to a throe months' child this way, each splinter being no larger than a common pin, for five or ton minutes, the result being that it has swallowed in that tlmo a teaspoouful of warm water, which,. so far from being a harm, is good for it, ami the process may be repeated hourly as often as tho trotting tits irom teething begin."

The following from the recently pub lished official census roport, gives the number of inhabitants In the various towns and townships of Holt county: Hentou township including Mound City 3,025 Mound City towi C.7H Higclow tow'iiHlup including the town of Higclow l,:i'J5 Hlgelow town 100 Clav township including thu village ot Whig Vallcv 1,39'J Wing Valley Village 16 Forbes township hiel'mlln thu vil lage of Forbes 1,000 Forbes Village 159 Hickorv township Including the vlllsge of New Point 989 New Point village 81 Lewis township including the fol lowing towns i,0S7 Foiet Citv 121 Oregon 862 Liberty township 1,005 Lincoln township inclurlliig the town of Coining 701 Corning town 221 Nodaway township 752 I'nlon township iiicludiuz; the town nf Craig ;. 2,028 Craig town 511 Broad vs Narrow Wagon Tires. We have often wondered why people persist in the use of narrow wagon tires in tiny section of country where the roads are of ehty and mud. Common sense .should teach men the narrower the tire thu deeper the wheel will sink down in tho mud. The prevailing width of fhu road wagon tires is our and three-fourths to two Inches, when they should bu at least double that. If tho tire were four Inches wide, the wag- on would not sink one-quarter a deep lu sotteroads, and those terrible ruts seen in hot weather would not exist. Ilroud tires have thu effect of smooth ing and improving clay roads. Tho Hirfacuof thu roads will stand a certain amount of pressure, but the narrow tire of a loaded wagon cuts through It like a knife; whereas a broad tire four to llvo Inches wide would roll over it without sinking. It thu wagons in this county were all broad tiro it would save tho propvrly holders many thousands it year In the wear of improved roads which ar now torn to pieces by nar row tires of heavily loaded wagons. We find the following on this subject in the DowagUc. (Mich.) Republican: the wltto lire wagon Is coming into gonial "so in this vicinity. Those who have purehust.d this style of wagon could not bo lndueud to go baek to tho old. Tho phllosopy ot this is readily observed. The broad tiro does not cut through, either In mud or sand, thus mnklng tho draught much lighter; be sides this the roads aro not cut up, but, to tho contrary, the broad Wr presses down the lumps and leaves a smooth track, thus bettering tlio roads, Hie ad vantage of which is easily understood. Many farmors nnd teamstors aro having their wheels fixed over with a broad tlro,wliieh is done at a small cost,whllo hardly a new wagon is made here of the old stylo. It Is hoped that tho broad tire will bo gonorally adopted, nnd that none will purelmso u wagon without first considering the benefits aring from using this stylo. Thu tiro which scorns to meet with general favor is tlieo and a halt inches wide." (1 t y Appletons' Cyclopaedia For Salo.
