Are Blessed In Colorado
From Ft Collins Colorado, comes the
following letter telling of the good
fortune which came to a former family
of Cass county, and one who many here
know:
Ft. Collins, Colo., April 4. '03.
Editor Journal:
Dear Sir: -B. L. Shrader, of Ft.
Collins, Colo., son of J. L. Shrader, of
near Nehawka, had an experience the
other evening which the family will not
soon forget. A young lady appeared
at their home on the third, and asked
for food and lodging. The young lady
was very small in stature and seem
ed to belong to a race of people
very crude in their habits and of very
primitive origin, as she wore the garb
of our early ancestors and could not
speak a word of English. She was
very red and seemed much embarrassed
at her nude form without the drapery
of the present day habiliments, but
was able to make her wants known by
horrible faces and jestures. They took
her in, however, and gave her food and
clothing; of the food she seemed to
partake with evident pleasure, but pro
tected vehemently against the bundling
up in a lot of cloth, but appeared after
a while to evince a disposition to adapt
herself to her new surroundings. As
before stated, she was very small, but
had an idea that she should have more
authority than one likes to accord a
perfect stranger. They will do the
best they can for her until such a time
as she shall be better able to care for
herself, especially among strange peo
ple. Mother and babe doing well and
Ben, yes poor old Ben, he is all right.
From Nehawka
M. H. Shoemaker, one of the Jour
nal's best friends from Nehawka, was in
Plattsmouth last Thursday, and of
course paid this office a brief call.
Henry Shoemaker is a man that we are
mighty glad to class as one of our friend

ant home of Mr. and Mrs. Ben Beck
man was the scene of a merry group of
little folks gathered to appropriately
celebrate the passing in the journey of
life by little Grace Lintner of her

ures of the occasion, and a delicious
lunch made the climax of a afternoon
of pleasure. Many presents as attesta

little one was held by her friends,
were given. The refreshments were

Willie, Russell, and Dewey Reed, John

Concrete is Good
H. G. Todd, residing south of Murray
never tires and will never cease when
it comes to making improvements on
his already up-to-date stock farm. He
is contemplating on the building of a
new hog shed the floor of which will be
made of concrete, and supplid with a
passure water pipe from his present
water system for cleaning purposes.

will be built in the near future, Jos.
Burton, of Murray will do the work.
Mr. Todd now has one of the best farms
in Cass county, and as long as he owns
it will continue to grow better.
