 | | The petition was politely escorted to the county seat by another in the shape of a remonstrance, and the later prevailed. |
 | | At this time, Douglas County had not an existence, but the proprietors preducted that a new county would be formed, that the east and west railroad would eventually be built, and that Newman would finally take a prominent place among the cities of the world, and the masses believed it, and invested accordingly. |
 | | Parents and guardians in the east end of Douglas County should bear these considerations in mind, and permit those under their charge to spend at least the years of preparation here, where, indeed, every facility is offered for obtaining all the business education the average pupil requires. |
