This was the last and one of the most delightful of a series of enter tainments which have been given for these good people by their many good friends. The evening was most enjoyably spent, notwithstanding the deep re gret felt by all present,- that these two highly respected families are leaving this community. Numerous games of a highly amus ing character were indulged in, inter spersed with many delightfully rend ered musical selections, both vocal and instrumental.'

Deserving of Praise. Not too much praise can be accord ed the young ladies of the Christian church in their presentation of the "Rainbow Klmona" comedy. They are young women of exceptional ability and their presentation was certainly true to college life. Lela Vallery called forth an ap plause in the rendering of her Shake spearian lines while Clara Copenhav er as the colored maid kept the audi ence In an uproar. These young la dies possess the best voices in the community and their singing was as much enjoyed as their work in the comedy. We wish to make special mention of the Spring Chorus sug gested to the girls by Mrs. Austin of Plattsmouth. Miss Isabella Young sang the solo. Miss Young possesses a very soft and musical voice and received many com pliments upon her work. The chorus was composed of Misses Bessie Bren del, Ruth Thomason, Lela Vallery, Grace Porter, Olga Minford, Marie Davis and Loretta Carroll and their voices blended beautifully! The charming number, "The Zoo" made a great hit. While the girls were pre paring for the second act, .Miss Clara Young gave a reading which she used in the declamatory contest at Ween ing Water February 15th. Miss Young makes a pleasing and entertaining ap pearance and it Is easy to see that she has ability far beyond the aver age. The girls received a neat little sum to add to the treasury of this club. They have been asked to re peat the comedy which they may do later. The entertainment was under the direction of Pauline Qldham. Pleasantly Knteruiihetl. The hospitable heme of Mr. and Mrs. J. C. Snavely, on last Friday evening, was the scene of a pleasant gathering of merry makers, who had gathered there to bid adeau to Mr. and Mrs. Wade Porter who will leave In the near future for their new home near Plafnvlew. The evening was pleasantly spent in social conver sation and playing varions games. Music was also Indulged fa.

Arthur Cop enhaver, Will Seybolt, Giry Stokes, Kelly Rhoden, Tom Tilson Harvev Johnson; Messrs. and Mesdames Jake Brendel Wade Porter, Carrol, D. C. Rhoden, Mrs. Stokes. Another Big Dance. The Murray dancing club will rive another one of their pleasant dances at Jenkins' hall in Murray on Saturday evening, March 5th . The music will be furnished by the Jacob's orchestra of Omaha. This dance will be given free to all members of the club, but an ad mission will be charged forall others. To Rural Route Patrons. Patrons of the rural mail route should take notice that it Is against the rules of the postoffice department to leave loose coin In their bojfes. That such should be enclosed in an envelope or wrapped in paper. How ever, the better plan would be to buy the stamps and place them on their letters themselvs. This would be bet ter for both, the carrier and patron and It is a great Inconvenience to the carrier to leave loose coin In the boxes. Don't forget this. Services ut Christian t'lmreli. Sunday, March 6. The subject of the morning servleo will be, "The Greatest Vocation of Life." Evening: "Individual Tenting."

Moving in From Iowa. C. B. Long from Macedonia, la., arrived in Plattsmouth yesterday over the Burlington with his car of stock and goods, and will hereafter be a resident of Cass county. Mr. Long is a nephew of our prosperous and good natured friend, H. C. Long, from near Murray, and if the young Mr. Long is as good a man as the uncle, he will prove one of the best men that ever settled In Cass county. He is evidently a good man too, as he has hardly passed his thirtieth year, starting in his boyhood days as a salaried farm hand, and now able to own such a Cass county farm as be purchased from F. M. Young, Jr., some time ago, which speaks pretty well of him. The following nearby neighbors were In, Plattsmouth to meet htm and assist In getting stock and goods to the new home; D. A. Young, Byron Reed . with two teams, H. C. Long, Jos. Cook and F. M Young Jr., all bringing a load of goods here for the last named gentle man who will load out for Murdock, Minn., this week, himself and good wife taking their departure on Tues day of next week.
