McDonald and James Bryant have been appointed census enumerators for Phillips County. We understand the position is worth $5 per day which will make quite a profitable month's work for the gentlemen. Bro. Williams, of the News, wishes to know if we claim that the advance in the price of corn is caused by a protective tariff. We did not say so. We simply stated that the democratic sheets, such as he edits, have claimed the low price of corn was all due to the "robber tariff," and that now, since corn has advanced in price, they have changed their tune and are claiming that the tariff has nothing to do with the price of corn. To be consistent, they should stand by one theory or the other and not try to sit on both sides of the fence at the same time. All shades of ingrains and borders to match. Central Drug Store. J.F. Kenyon, R.E. Weber, Miss Woods, Miss Tinkle and Mrs. Andrews took the Saturday morning train for Cheyenne to attend the theatre that evening.

Poe returned to his home in this county Sunday morning from Warren County, Illinois, where he has been visiting for several months. Mr. Poe says that business is dull even in that old State.

Do not fail to be present at the Decoration services, to be held at Holyoke next Friday under the management of the G.A.R. Post of Holyoke. The Post have the promise of a speaker from Indianola to be present and arrangements are being made to observe the day in a manner that will be interesting to all. Come out and show your respect for the memory of the fallen heroes. Dr. Barr has moved his family to Yuma, where he has located for the practice of medicine. In his removal from our county, we have lost an exceptionally good citizen, one who had a wide circle of friends and admirers. The citizens of Yuma are certainly fortunate in securing such an acquisition to their circle of professional men, and we feel satisfied that the Doctor will soon build up a large and lucrative practice there. One evening not long ago Frank Smith, jailor at Sterling, permitted prisoner Conrad to go after a bucket of coal but, Conrad failing to appear with the coal, the alarm was given and a general search made for the "would be janitor." The fugitive from justice was finally captured three days later, at Kimball, and brought back to Sterling. In the Sterling Advocate last week, we see the announcement of the marriage of Miss Clara B. Shedd to John M. Henderson, both of Sterling. Both parties are well known in Holyoke and their friends and acquaintances here wish them all the joys of a long and happy wedded life. We thought John a confirmed bachelor, wedded to his business and politics and are truly glad that we were mistaken. We congratulate him on securing for a life partner such an amiable and intelligent lady as Miss Clara Shedd.

Hall at 10 o'clock a.m. of said day. P.B. Reynolds, Commander. What is being done about the proposition, made some time ago, to build a flour mill at Holyoke. Now is the time to agitate this question and take the necessary steps to have the erection of a mill begun at the earliest possible date. We have an unusually large acreage of small grain sown in the county and the prospects now are very favorable for a good crop. We must not compel our farmers to haul their grain twenty-five or thirty miles to mill when, by the proper enterprise and push, every bushel of wheat raised in the county can, just as well as not, be turned into flour without leaving the county. The county cannot afford to do without a flour mill and we should leave nothing undone that will in any manner tend to bring about the erection of one.

Quite a few visitors were in attendance and a good program was carried out consisting of recitations, declamations, select reading, singing and other appropriated exercises. A report will be furnished this paper next week. From Wakeman News, the people want the Assessor to get a wiggle on him, etc. We presume from that, that the people are anxious to be assessed. Never fret, Mr. Tom Thumb, your people will have plenty of time to kick about the assessments and tax levies if you are not assessed until the last day allowed by law. Next Friday is Memorial Day. While we in the new west have but few graves of the patriotic dead upon which flowers to stew, let us, nevertheless observe the day in such a manner as to leave a everlasting imprint upon the sands of time and teach our children a profitable lesson in patriotism. Our schools should take this in hand and observe the occasion in a fit manner. - OLD MISERY The U.P.R.R. is making the following passenger rates between Denver and points named.
