Chas Tilden of Oberlin arrived in our town Friday. Ralph Fitsimons, who has been in this county for a month looking after his property, returned to Iowa Friday. On Wednesday night some one took a quilt and check line from Jas Chen- ney. Hurt Havice and a young man by the name of Hatfield "hit the high places' Wednesday night.

John Cardon of Sherman county, i he ter of as serving in the Union army three years returned to Kansas and ever since has followed the frontier as it gradu-i ally pushed its way westward, and, af- a life of adventure and varying for-i tunes, he has settled down at La Junta, Colorado. Mrs.

Murray, of Govornou, X. arrived in Colby recently on a visit to her daughter Mrs. V. C. Eddy.

Dr. and Mrs. Eddy, having learned the whereabouts of the brother conceived the idea a meeting between the long separated brother and sister, and at once proceeded to arrange it. On Tuesday Mr. Gates, arrived in the city, and to-day, though both have almost reached the allotted age of man, they are as happy they were in those days, when as children they played together in that well-remembered homestead in far oil New York resident Polk's Nashville Home.

The old Polk place on Vine street, the home of President James K. Polk, and the scene of many brilliaut gatherings in former days, is viewed with interest by many visitors to Nashville. Many expressions of regret are heard from those who view Hie picturesque Polk place for the first timo that the historic old homestead should have been allowed to fall into such a state of dilapidation. They think the old place Bhould be maintained in good repair for the sake of the memories that surrouud it. It has been suggested more thau once that it would make au ideal homo for the official residence of Tennessee's governors.

The excuse that can bo very properly offered by Nashvillians for the present condition of the Polk place is that they have nothing to Jo with it, the property being in litigation. It is feared that ultimately, in the division of the property, the. old place will bo cut up into lots, and if ihat is done the home of Polk will become only a memory. Nashville American.

Bluffkins wrote a very bad hand generally, but in writing hurriedly, mak ing an appointment with a friend, he excollod oven himself. Ho had left the letter lying for half an hour, and on going to address the envelope he happened to glance at his epistle. Scarcely a word could he decipher, but calmly inclosing it he said to himself: "After all, what does it matter? It's Hawkins has to read it, not Boston Budget. Gratitude. Gratitude is short cut to sincere and lasting friendship.

Some people complain that they have no friends. Have they never had a favor done to them? Why, every man has had a score of favors done him every day of bis life! Those who bear it in mind, who say a word of hearty thanks, who watch a chance to do a favor in return, never lack friends. Too Slow For Vs.
