The play of Rory O'Moore renderedby the St Patrick's literary society on theevening of St. Patrick's Day, was a littletoo heavy lor the members of the societyto handle with ease. The character ofRory O'More was well sustained by FrankRedino nd, his actin and g estures beinggood, while'his form is well fitted to thecharacter. A fault, common to ama-tuer- s,
was speaking in too low a voice.On the stage the actors should talk to theman in the back part of the house. Thesinging was good, especially the operetta"We will have to Mortgage the Farm."The net receipts of the evening wereabout $75, which is to be used to repairthe old church , St. Patrick's Hall.
"While taking a trip to North Platte thisweek we had a chat with some half-doze- n
farmers on the other side of the sand hillsand were agreeably surprised to learn thateven within ten miles of the county seatthey are coming here to do their trading.They say enough can be saved in thedifference of prices to easily pay for thethirty mile drive. Selling goods underNorth Platte's nose and buying corn fromHayes Cuntre granaries surely warrantsour boast that the little winged insectsknown as flies do not use Wallace as aroosting place."
The above from the Wallace Heraldsounds very pretty and no doubt ticklesthe editor nd a portion of its readersamazingly, but there is a woeful lackingof an essential element, truth. While theeditor was taking the trip aforesaid hewhistled to keep up his courage andspirits, the half dozen interviews beingtne result of his imagination. When the
item was written, the following quotati onstell better than words what farmers willdo. In North Platte they could get 30tn 35 cents for their butter; in Wullana 1SMABMWW

North Platte gavethem 60 cents per bushel i'or potatoes; 10.bushels supplied the local market inWallace. Poultry was worth $4 perdozen in the Platte; a half dozen birdsglutted the Wallace market. And sowith everything the farmer produces. ThePlatte is his market and he knows it.
