Ray Davis, who is attending a busi ness college at Lincoln, is at home for the holidays. The shooting match at Dun Rhoden's on Monday was very largely attended. James Cathc-y and family were riattsmoutli visitors on last Saturday. Quite a large number of people from this neighborhood attended John Young's ialeat Murray on last Satur day. The dance given by W. F. Wenke it Klauiens & Manner's new hall at Murray on Christmas eve was largely attended and a good time was had by all present. A large number of people living in this neighborhood were in Platts mouth on Tuesday doing their Christ mas buying.

The teachers and pupils wiil enjoy two weeks vacation on account of the nolidays, and will return to school work on Monday, January 6th. nerman Reicke, a German farmer residing about two miles soutii of Murray was severely injured last Mon day morning, and it is only conjecture as to how it happened. Mr. Reicke had gone a short distance from th house, carrying an axe with wnich to cut some ice, and when he was found he had a long cut on his head, being unconscious. He did not regain consciousness until the next morning, and then he could remember nothing about it except that he fe t a blow on the head. Dr. Brendel has been at tending him. and we learned that the injured man is getting along very well At first some were Inclined to be lieve that Reicke had been the victim of a hold up, but the fact that hi money was not taken from his pocke exploded that theory. The most p!ausiblee.p!anation is that he slipped ana ieu, ana mat tne axe he was carrying cuLthe gash on his head, the shoe rendering him unconscious. The report reaches us. that Dr. and Mrs. M. L. Thomas of Eagle are the parents of a 10-pound son, born two weeks ago and we hereby extend con gratulations.

The city council of South Omaha finally passed their prohibitive tel ephone ordinance last Monday night. which allows any telephone company to obtain a franchise to operate telephone exchange in that city pro tided t hey comply with the terms of the ordinance, which are practically prohibitive. The Plattsmouth tel ephone company's proposition to pay the city of South Omaha 1,000 for the privilege of operating three toll stations for a period of ten years was unceremoniously turned down, and it is quite probable that the Nebraska company will continue to have t monopoly of the South Omaha tel ephone business for some time yet. Judge Ramsey found an Interesting souvenir while looking through some papers at his home recently. It was a copy of the New York Sun f Septem ber 3. 133:$, the first issue of that paper. Tiie paper is a small affair, being three columns wide by ten inches long, and consists of four pages. The price was one penny, or S3 per year "if paid in advance." The paper contains the advertisements of four steamboats and nine sailing ships, which was the principal route of travel in those days, The paper contains no editorials, and lacks considerable of being the vigorous sheet of later days when Chas A. Dana was at the helm. The bowling craze, which was quite an epidemic In Plattsmouth last spring, has almost totally subsided, and botli the establishments have closed up for lack of patronage.
