PAINTER Editor & Publisher 25 Jul 1890, Friday, Vol. III - No. 50 Page One LOCAL LORE It is our purpose to note the arrival and departure of all guests to our city, and request those who have visitors to inform us of the fact.

WANTED - Girl for general housework, $2.50 per week for competent girl. - Mrs. W.C. Robinson The program for the Phillips County Teacher's Association was printed at the HERALD Job office last week. Not many farmers are seen upon our streets lately as they are busy on their farms, harvesting their small grain. H.R. Painter, of LaHarpe, Illinois, father of ye editor, arrived in Holyoke Wednesday morning and will remain some time. Monday night different parts of the county were favored with a good rain which will be a great benefit to the corn and potato crop. E. pluribus unum, arran go braugh, Have your teeth fixed so you can chaw. Call on Dr. Gibson as he will do you a first-class job for a reasonable price. Rev. H.H. Bell, pastor of the United Presbyterian church, of Colorado Springs, was in Holyoke last Monday on his way home from Lamar, Nebraska. Bro. Porter advises us to use electric bitters. No thank you. If the editorial effusions of the Tribune are the result of using such a stimulant, we beg to be excused. Miss Susie Hoskins has been quite sick with the fever for the last ten days but we are glad to learn that she is better and, with no relapse, will soon be around again. FOR SALE - Two hundred and seventy-five head of sheep. Call at my residence on the E. ½ sec 33 T 6 N R 47 W or address me at Bryant, Colorado. - W.W. Baldwin The commissioners have been sitting this week as a board of equalization and a few changes have been made in the assessment, but, as a general thing, Mr. Castetter's assessment has given pretty general satisfaction. C.B. Timberlake informs us that the crops in the vicinity of Haxtun, both small grain and corn, look fine. That part of the county had a good crop last year and we are glad to hear of their good prospect for this year. The News and the Tribune will have a discussion on the tariff question, as it now appears. No extra charge for copies of those papers during the exciting discussion. Secure a paper and avoid the rush. Ad - Spend the Summer Months in Platte Canon on the South Park branch of the Union Pacific Ry, Deansbury, Buffalo, Pine Grove or Crystal Lake.

Kelsey was elected. We understand that only five votes were cast for committeeman. How is this, Bro. Williams, what is the matter with your democratic enthusiasm. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* J.C. Elder, chairman of our board of county commissioners, went to Sterling last week and arranged with the Logan County commissioners for a meeting of the two boards at Sterling on the first Monday in August to make a settlement between the two counties. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Will the Herald be manly enough to drop its insinuations and say in plain English who is behind the editorial chair of the TRIBUNE? - Tribune It would be a waste of space to do so, as there is no doubt but the people are well informed on that question. If Mr. Porter thinks that fact is not sufficiently plain to all, probably it would be well for him to answer his own question. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* The Holyoke Tribune, for some unknown reason, is as quiet as the grave in regard to the doings of the last legislature. Can it be possible that Bro. Porter swallows the legislature body, breeches, "boodle gang" and all? We are not prepared to believe that such is the case, and yet, for aught his readers have been informed on this question, they must, to say the least, be somewhat in the dark in regard to his views. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Rev. H.B. Cook and wife took the train Monday morning for Canon City where they go to attend the Annual Conference of the M.E. church for this district. Rev. Cook and wife came to Holyoke less than a year ago, from their home in New York, and in the short time they have been residents of our town they have gained the good will and high esteem of all with whom they have become acquainted. Rev. Cook is an able, fearless preacher of the gospel, a man of the people, sociable and friendly in his bearing, toward all. Mrs. Cook is an earnest and most successful worker in the church. The people of Holyoke have become so attached to Rev. Cook and wife, that they are unanimous in their wish for their return to Holyoke for another year. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Porter, of the Tribune, preaches us a sermon, in his last weeks issue, and, in referring to our lost and unregenerate condition, says: "So far he has developed as strong a mud-slinging propensity as the average country editor." We are sorry to have Porter class us, in this matter, on an equality with himself, as he has undertaken to do, but no doubt he thought this was the meanest thing he could say of us. He expresses sympathy for Bro. Williams, of the News, for the purpose, no doubt, of inducing him to come over and help the Tribune out of its trouble. Of course we take no exceptions to this, for there is no question but that he needs more help even than his editorial reserve force can furnish. Again in referring to us he says, "He jumps into every enterprise the Tribune advocates, and tries to tear it down." We are not aware of any enterprises that the Tribune has advocated, except a few floating around so high up in space that it would be an utter impossibility for an ordinary mortal to "jump into them," or at them, unless he could secure a foot hold on the moon. If Bro. Porter started his enterprises on the earth, we might have occasion to "jump into them" sometimes. He says, "He gobbles up a slang phrase which we aimed at a few of the drones." If that is true, then he must have a very queer way of aiming his "slang phrases," for the slang phrase referred to was, "The business men of the town are too dead to skin." If he aimed at a "few drones" then he certainly is a poor shot. He closes his sermon by a quotation from scripture, "Behold how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell in unity." If he had made the application of his quotation, no doubt he would have said "the HERALD and Tribune will dwell together in unity, provided the Tribune is permitted to dictate the unity." But our education has been such that we do not enjoy a unity quite so much one-sided as that would be. We do not consider his quotation a happy selection to fit the circumstances of the case but now, that he has turned his attention to the study of theology, there can be no doubt but that he will eventually extricate himself from the present troubles. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* Otto Tinkle returned this week from Chicago where he has been attending business college. S.W. Beggs went to Burlington, Colorado this week to look after his farm loan business. *+*+*+*+*+*+*+* TEACHERS ASSOCIATION The following will be the course of study for the Phillips County Teacher's Association to be held at Holyoke beginning August 4th.
