THE EVENT OF
THE SEASON
"Diamonds and Hearts" the
Talk of the Entire Vicinity.
To start with, Murray should feel
proud of it3 home talent, for Saturday
night fully demonstrated that everyone
who took-part in the "Diamonds and
Heait" play deserve more praise than
they really receive for the masterly
manner in which each character was
presented. We will guarantee that
there is not a village in the state of Ne
braska, or any other state for that mat
ter, that can produce so many accom
plished young people as Murray. It is
not really the Journal's intention to
"feed taffy" to any of those who took
part in this interesting drama, but to
state the solid facts as they occurred,
"Diamonds and Hearts" was presented
to a large and appreciative audience,
Jenkins' hall being crowded to the ex
tent that standing room really was at a
premium. The frequent applauses which
greeted the actors was more than evi
dent that the work of the young people
was received with the greatest of satis
faction. In the character of Bernice
Halstead, a young lady of eighteen,
with an affectionate heart, etc., was re
markably well taken care of by Miss
Margaret Jameson, who acted her part
well; as was also thatof Amy Halstead,
her sister, two years younger, fond of
frolic, which was played to perfection
by Miss Bessie Brendel. Mrs. Frances
Brendel, as Inez Gray, a young lady
willing to share in fun, was simply im
mens e. and acted her part in a manner
that reflected much, credit upon her per
sonally. Mrs. Halstead, a .widow, and
step-mother to the Halstead girls, was
well acted out by Miss Lena Young, and
was all that could possibly be desirer,
while Hannah Mary Barnes, or "Sis," a
maiden lady who keeps house for her
brother, was most remarkably well ren
dered by Miss Pauline Oldham, and her
manner of acting out this character
pleased the audience wonderfully.
Dwight Brady, a fortue hunter, and
Mrs. Halstead's son by a former mar
riage, by Harry Baxter, was good, while
that part taken by William Seybolt, as
ur. uurton, a young pnysician, was
most excellently rendered. Sammy,
the darky bellboy in the Halstead house,
was well rendered by Wayna Lewis,
while Abraham Barn3, or "Bub,", a
Yankee farmer, still unmarried at forty
a diamond in the rough as played by
W. H. McDaniel, pleased alL John
Cook as attorney, and Albert Young as
sheriff, acted their parts so well that
their friends talk very seriously of
bringing them to the front as candi
dates for county attorney and sheriff,
respectively. ?
Take the play, all in all, it was sim
ply a success in every particular, as the
receipts of the evening fully show. The
receipts amounted to $110.50, which,
after all expenses are paid, will be
given to the Christian church, to which
it was originally intended when the en
tertainment was forming. We reiter
ate that the young people deserve great
credit for their energy and ability in
producing an entertainment that would
prove most creditable to those who pro
fess to be professional in the dramatic
line. To Miss Pauline Oldham special
credit is "due for the interest she took
in instructing those who assumed Char
acters, and being one of the finest in
structors in elocution in eastern Ne
braska, it was greatly through her ef
forts that such great success attended
the entertainment. The play pleased
everybody so well that many who were
present from Union have requested
them to repeat it at that place, which
will be done Saturday night.
The Peach Crop Gocd.
In conversation with H. L. Oldham he
tells us that the peach crop is still in
good shape, and if no farther cold
weather is experienced we will have
plenty of the fovorite fruit; also, cher
ries. Mr. Oldham undoubtedly knows
whereof he speaks, as he usually raises
more peaches than any other man in
Cass county, and is in a position to know
when the life is taken out of the buds.
New Stock Buyer
The stock firm of Amick & Berber
have ceased to do business in Murray,
haviner sold out to Col. Seybolt, who
will look after the business in the fu
ture. Col. Seybolt, like the outgoing
firm, needs no introduction to the peo
ple of Murray and vicinity, as he has
resided here too long, and his honest
business methods are too well known to
his many friends, and there will be no
question as to him doing the right thing
in the way of buying the farmers stock
Mr. Amick and Mr. lierger have cor
tainly been doing business on the square
as the saying goes, always paying the
top price for all kinds of stock, anl ex
erting every effort to treat all alike, and
by such methods have retained the
warm friendship they have always held
by so many residents of this community
Grand Ball.
There will be a social dance given at
the Jenkins Hall in Murray, on Satur
day evening, May 16, given by John
Philpot, John Nohl and Albert Jones.
Music by the Plattsmouth orchestra
Good order will be maintained, and i
good time assured.
Dates
District Sunday School Conventions
Places: 1 Murdock, Third District.
2 Louisville, Second District,
3 Murray First District.
1 Tuesday. May 19.
2 Wednesday, May 20,
3 Thursday, May 21.
Every Sunday School in Cass county
of whatever Protestant denomination
should send delegates to at least one of
these conventions. They have been
distributed as near as possibe to ac
commodate the whole county. Try and
attend the one in your own district if
possible but attend one for sure. The
practical side of Sunday School work
and management will be taken up at
these meetings and ably handled by
competent speakers. Mrs. F. S. War-
ran expert primary teacher will be
present to offer help and suggestions
to teachers of the elementary grades.
The meetings at each place will begin
after dinner and occupy the afternoon
and evening. Do not confound the: e
district conventions with the county
convention to be held at Alvo May
27-28. These are district meetings and
are preliminary to the county convention,
affording help or rather bringing a con
vention near to those who may not be
able to go to Alvo.
Every progressive Sunday Schoo!
will see to it that a good delegation at
tends one or all of these meetings. The
meetings are entirely in your interest
and if you do not benefit by them it is
your fault Mr. Sunday School Super
intendant.
Remember, county convention is at
Alvo, May 27th and 28th.

Mr. W. L. Pickett.
Dear Sir: Messrs Leachman & Ede-
lin, Grafton, W. Va., had been selling a
paint, which they thought well of: and
this had occurred.
They had sold a customer 18 gallons
of it to paint his house. A few years
later, they sold - the same man Devoe
lead-and-zink, the same number of gal
lons to paint the same house. He had
7 gallons left.
The point of the tale is: 11 gallons
Devoe it paints an 18 gallon house.
Of course, that isn't all.
Why does 11 gallons Devoe go as far
as 18 gallens of other paint. ? Because
it is all paint, all true, no sham, and
full measure.
But that isn't all. Devoe lasts long
er. Mo, no; you haven t got to wait
ten years to find that out. Ten thousand
people know it. We've got their names
Our agents know them; they think a
heap of Devoe. There's no difficulty in
showing your townspeople what to ex
pect of Devoe. $10 will paint a $15
house: and the paint will last twice as
ong Yours truly,
F. W. Devoe & Co.
New York, Chicago and Kansas City.
