The Nemaha Cuunty Sunday School convention which was held here last Thursday and Friday in the Congregational church was a grand success and the attendance would have been much larger on the last day but for the bad weather. All the schools in the county were represented and several were up from Vermillion. All visitors and delegates to the convention were entertained by our citizens. The.

program at each session was interesting and instructive in Sunday School work. The Ladies Leap Year Club of our city gave a Leap Year ball Tuesday evening. About forty couples were present. The dance programme was opened with a grand march led by Miss Nora Cogswell and Allyn Stickel, then came the various dances of the evening. The first quadrille was prompted by lady callers.

The first change was prompted by Miss Effie Horth who went through with the calling very qicely The second was prompted by Miss Maude Hopkins assisted by Miss Kate McKeon, and was on the medley order. A nice supper was served on the stage which was very convenient as yov. did not have to leave for refreshments. The ladies had the opera house very prettily decorated and conveniently arranged for the occasion. They did fine and took particular pains to see that all the gentlemen were entertained.

The gentlemen all voted it a grand success and hope that the ladles will be so highly elated over their success that they will give another ball before the season closes. J. H. BROWN. M.

There is no knowing where the trouble will end; and while complete recovery is the rule, the exceptions are terribly frequent, and thousands upon thousands of fatal illness occur every year ushered in by a little injudicious exposure and seemingly trifling symptoms. Beyond this, there are to-day countless invalids who can trace their complaints to "colds," which at the time of occurrence gave no concern, and were therefore neglected.

Inquiries are now being made by the post-office department as to the distances, the feasibility and necessity of the route. In view of the fact that a route has already been established and will soon be. open between Seneca, the county seat of Nemaha county, and Cenrtalia it seems a proper thing to extend the line, or establish a new line, from Centralia to Neuchatel. and thus give the citizens of the lattter place direct communication with another railway.
