An Important Llttlo Village of the Platte, Her Industries and Business Men. JiY TIM TRIMMER. Fourteen miles went of I'latt.smoutli, located on the old main line of the R. & M., and in the vulley of the Platte, is situated the rustling, thriving burg of Cedar Creek. It is not as large as ome of her sisters; but the few days we spent there, gave us the impression that for business activity, it was not far behind, the streets being full of teams each day. Cedar Creek's location is a very advan tageous one as a great corn belt and stock raising region is near there, making her one of the principal shipping points of the west. Then, too, the large supply of sand and stone is another advantage possessed by few towns in the union. Besides many pleasant homes and resi dences that skirt the suburbs, are two dry goods and grocery stores; two grain elevators; one blacksmith shop; one car penter shop, one blacksmith shop, one shoe shop, one barber shop, one bank, one drug store, two hotels one sale autK feed stable, and one well filled lumber yard. Cedar Creek owes her success as a trading point of no mean standing to the fact, that she possesses a substantial lot of business men that always rustle to the front and show up somewhat as fol fows: Murphy Manker & Co., carry a complete line of dry goods and groceries; Geo. E. Sayles, an old time resident of Cedar Creek and a number one business man, carries a line stock of dry goods, groceries and everything found in a first class store; Mike Kyse, Imcksmith; Joseph Wildi, carpenter; Hatt fc Co., butchers; John Mum ford, boot and shoe shop; J. A. Connor, grain dealer, business carried on by Hon. D. S. Draper; Hon. F. E. White, grain dealer, during his absence his business is under the control of Geo. E. Sayles; Dominic Nosciskle, butcher for Hatt & Co.; J. A. Tipton, lumber dealer for Ritchey Bros.; Mr. Tipton is also the postmaster, and since receiving the appointment he has erected a neat new building greatly to the credit of himself and the town. L. E. Meyers, druggist; II. Inhelder, proprietor of feed and sale stable; J. W. Hoburg is the ac commodating station aireut. telcerrauh operator and baggage master, and per forms his duties elficieutly and agreeably to all. Dr. J. B. Duff is the successful physician and manipulator of pills and powders. C. II. Parmele & Co., stock dealers; they, are also extensive feeders and stock raiu .-rs. running constantly on their large tracts of land form two to five hundred head of cattle. The Farmers Bank recently organized, is an enterprise of which Cedar Creek may justly feel proud, especially when we take into consideration the men who are at its back, C. II. Parmele, president; C. A. Manker. vice-president: F. A. Murphy, cashier. The Litter well known for his business sagacity and excellent qualities is fast gaining the respect of the citizens of Cedar Creek and commu nity which he so justly deserves. We wish to thank Fred for favors shown us while in Cedar Creek; but not he alone but many others who so kindly aided us in our work. C. II. Parmele & Co. are erecting, a fine new residence at Cedar Creek, when completed to lie occupied by Ed; Stivers, who is raising stock for them. Cedar Creek's hotel accommodations are far above the average found in rural towns, J. J. Schnider is proprietor of the Schnider house aud Thede Miller of the Miller house. A.s above stated Cedar Creek's sand and stone industry is very important. There are six distinct sand pits, four gravel pits and three stone quarries which employ in the neighborhood of three hundred men. The shipments are very large; from August 1st to last Saturday the 20tb, there were 1 200 car-loads of sand and stone shipped to yarious points in this state and Kansas. If we figure, we will readily see that the B. & M. Co. received a pood sum for freight as the average is $12 per car. The 1200 car shipment fo.es not in clude the lower pit owned bj the B. & M. Co. and known as the Oulloni pit which ships daily from tjQ to 80 cars. The stone and sand companies are as follows: Murphy Patterson & Co., Plattsmoutli, own two; Western Sand & S one Co., Oinalia, one; Frank Bushe, Cedar Creek, one; Hugh Murphy, Omaha, one. From eight to twelve cars qfstqek and grain are shipped from Cedar Creek each week. vv nu au tne anove tacts there 19 no question but Cedar Creek s future pros pects are bright. She will in the halcyon dsys to come be a good town;is well locat ed iu one of the must productive parts of j the country, and in days not far distant, she must and will waddle up to the front and the business directory now in this issue is an eloquent eulogy on her splen did enterprise. 1 he II Kit ald has a good list of sup porters at this oiiice, and improvement 1 bound to follow. A Fourscore Birthday Celebration. Ou baturday Aug. 23th, lbbS, at the home of Mr. Win. Vouug, iu Bock Creek school district, a very pleasant and social eyent, of rather more than ordinary im portance, took place. It being the eightieth birthday of Mr. Young, a large number of relatives, friends and old ac quaintances gathered at iU home to con gratulate him with friendly greeting up on his arriyal at the fourscore mile post in mes journey tnrougii tins world. After greetings of welcome were over. and a tew hours spent in social chat and friendly yisiting, about seventy-five peo ple sac aown to a most bountilul repast, prepairea uy 1113 sou David and wife; and which cotsisted of all the good things that heart could wish for. Mr. loung is one of the old settlers of Cass county, having lived in his present nome something over thirtv-tliree vears. Mr. Young's pioneer life has been one of more than ordinary experience aud activ ity. Having three different times moved into new countries with his family and occupied laud before it had been sur veyed by the government. And in this connection a short extract taken from the biographical sketches of the early settlers or cass county, as published in the his tory of Nebraska, will be very interest ing reading to his many friends aud ac quaintances: "Mr. Young was born iu Floyd Co., Ky., Aug. 23th 1S08, and was raised as a farmer. He was mariied Dec. l.th, 1832. He moved to Jousou Co., Missouri, in the spring of 1837, and the same fall' he moved to Platte Co., Mo. In 1842 he moved to Nodaway Co., Mo., and fol lowed fanning, and filled the of'ucc of justice of the peace. His wife died March 20th, 184'J, leav ing four children, Lyviua. Francis M , Elizabeth J., and Mary. He was married again May 12th, 1800, to Rebecca Mc Broom, and removed to Mills Co., Iowa, and again filled the office of justice of peace. On Nov. 3rd, 18-4, he came to Nebraska and staked out a claim of 320 acres, and on March oth, 1S5. moved his family on to his claim. They lived in a tent with wolves and wildcats about them until he built a log cabin, but re ceived no harm from his friendly neigh bors except the loss of a few sheep. lie was elected county surveyor, and ran the first county road in Cass county. Thcv lived here two or three years without anv school house; Mr. Young gave up one of tne rooms ot ins house for a school house and employed a lady teacher. Ho had by this time, built a double lo 1. ,1 1. IT 1 1 1 , 1 in 1 use mm wnen uiicie oani s Doys came along, they ran a line both ways through ins rami, so mat ne sleeps on one quarter section ana eats on another, all in the same house. In 1873 ho was elected county surveyor and served two terms in succession; and served as road commis- s oner several years, locating roads and bridges all over the county. Being 74 years of ace he retired from active business life, and has been enao-ed in fruit growing and bee keeping. His second wife, Rebecca, died Feb. 19th, 1865, leaving four children, David A , Ellen, Jennie and John W. John W. died uet. 15th, IBM. being about three years of age." The above extract shows a very active 1 r a - ... . . me. jir. 1 uuu is living wi in ins son David upon the old homestead, and is in the enjoyment of a fair degree of -ood health for a person of his age. Ave are very much indebted to the Misses Luella and Anna Young, for the ollowing list of names of thoso present: Mrs. B. Spurlock. Mrs. II. Boeck, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Martin, and Mis. Mary llenson 01 1'lattsmouth; Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Kirkpatrick, of Nehawka; Mr. J. W loung, of Lnion; Mr. Quince Connally, wite and daughter, of Wabash; Mr. Lew Ilesser , of Mercer Co., Ohio; Mrs. Sarah Dalton, of Council Bluffs, Iowa; Mr. B. Franz and wife. Mr. Joshua Gapen and wife, M. J. W. Ilesser and wife, Mr. F. M. Young, wife and family; Mr. Isaac Nelson, wife and daughters; M. F. M. Young Jr., daughter and son: Mr. Wm Taylor, wife and son; Mr. G. D. Connal- ly and wife; Mr. Wm. Gilmore and wife Mr. S. L. Furlong, wife and daughters Mr. Wm. Royal, sr.; Mr. Wm. Royal, jr. ana wire; Mr. Austin Johnson and wife; Mr. Hiram McDonald and wife; Mr. J. nogatt and wife; Mrs. g. W. Callum and daughter; Mrs, Wm Ellington, Mrs. J. D. Shrader, Mr. Geo. Nix, Mr. John Mc Cullom. After partaking of the bountiful din ner set before us and spending p. few m6re hours in social converse, the greet ings were Indulged in, and the company dispersed to their respective homes, all feeling as though they had enjoyed a very pleasant visit- Quite a number of presents were left, among them four silk handkerchiefs. We wish to say that if more of such friendly yisits were indulged in by coun try people, the mouoiony of farm life would be grpat'y relieved. For under our present high pressure system of work, aud reticent manner of social intercourse, farmers and neigliors would scarcely be on a speaking acquaintance with one another, If It were not for the few days of exchange work that usually takes place during harvesting and threshing.
