own, but we hope that H. A. GRIFFITH, who lives near this city, will be elected
county superintendent of Thomas county.

A carload of live poultry, consisting of 700 chickens, 400 turkeys and a
large number of ducks, passed through yesterday morning on its way to San

Bro. ROBERTS will move the Gazette down from Brewster and continue its

The republicans of Gove county have nominated the following ticket:

Dr. H. SOUTHARD, of Monument, was in town yesterday morning on his way home
from the San Louis valley, in southern Colorado. Some parts of the valley he
likes and some he does not and says he would much prefer this land in western
Kansas to that if we could get water for irrigating purposes.

Look out for "A Southern Tragedy" Oct. 30, 1890. A Tennessee refugee will
relate his thrilling experiences during the war. This lecture will be

the ladies of the M. E. Church. Adults 15 cents, children 10 cents.

The U. P. railway company attempted to take Sam DAVIDSON's (of the Hoxie

the L. & C. Sam wont give it up, and the war wages warmer than ever.
However, Sam is a stayer and he will doubtless come out on top.--Colby Tribune.

Mr. TUTTLE, of Omaha, city ticket agent of the Union Pacific, was in town
Wednesday to look at a section of railroad land he owns about eight miles
southwest of this city. He has a beautiful piece of land and is much pleased with
the appearance of the whole country. He has the right idea when he says
that almost any kind of product could be raised in abundance if the water
problem was solved. He expects to put a large part of his section into wheat next
year.

We learn from reliable authority that this issue of the Cat will be the last
one, Mr. KALB having made arrangements to move the entire plant to Ogden.
With the Cat goes one of the old landmarks of Colby and Thomas county. When
the town was scarcely more than a name the paper was issued from a sod house.
It was one of the prime factors in the upbuilding (sic) and improvement of
the town and county and much of the success of Colby as a business point is
due to its efforts. The name of the Thomas County Cat is synonymous with that
of Colby and it will be missed by its friends, especially those of its early
days.--Colby Tribune.

"A SWINDLE."

The following letter has been received by Mr. A. SIMONTON from his sons, who
went to Portland, Ore., two weeks ago on the cheap excursion to work on a
railroad. It explains itself:

PORTLAND, Ore., Oct. 17, 1890.
DEAR FATHER: We got here Tuesday at 7 P. M. We did not get work Wednesday
but we worked on the dock 10 hours yesterday and are going to work there
today. That is a swindle about that shipping men out here to work. There are
2,000 men on the street this morning out of work and they can't get it.
Immigration is all the town depends on to keep it up and they ship men in here and
then leave them. There is train load after train coming every day. There
were 196 on our train when we left Oakley and there are but four of us here
now: Will and I, Urge COLVIN and John PHILIPS. This swindle had ought to be
published all over so as to keep people from spending their money like we did.
--Your Sons, H. S. and W. A.

While letters have been received from others saying that there is plenty of
work at good wages. We shall publish some of them in subsequent issues.
