The following special from

November lit, refers lo a lady who
was pretty well known in Platts
mouth, having visited her mother,
Mrs. I,. A. Moore, on several oc
casions, but, who died recently at
Port Arthur. It will be seen that
Mrs. Neill was highly esteemed by
the order, as well as by all who
knew her:
"At a meeting of (he, local
chapter of the United Daughters
of Ihe Confederacy, held here to
day, Ihe name of the chapter was
changed to that of Sammie Cert
rude Neill in commemoration of
Ihe organizer and first president,
who died here recently.
"Mrs. Neill, who came here
from Calveston, was a leading
spirit in religious and fraternal
work and was one of the most
popular women in this section.
She died recently, following an
operation for appendicitis. The
tribute paid to her memory in
the changing of the name of the
chapter she organized in August
was adopted by unanimous vote.
"Since Mrs. Neill's death Mrs.

ings from the slate president of
the United Daughters of the Con
federacy, Mrs. Harold W. Creer,
living in Heauinont. Hesides a
new name the local chapter will

simply a formality."

The Platlsmouth News-Herald
is no more. After battling against
the waves for forty-eight years,
sometimes at the very pinacle of
success and again almost sub
merged by adversity, it has bat
tled on and on, with a frequent
change of pilots until at last poor
old Ceorge liolton took charge
and on the 15th of this month the
old hull went down like a rotten
potato in a bucket of swill kinder
pulling the hole in after it. It is
the best, thing that ever happened
to Ihe republican party in Cass
county in years a sort, of relief
to Ihe office-holders and politi
cians who have been called on
again and again lo tide it over. It
has passed into the hands of the
publisher of the Plaltsniouth
Journal, who although demo
cratic almost, to the extent of
smelling of the "solid south," yet
they are not paupers and don't
ask for something foT nothing.
County seat republican merchants
are said to believe in advertising
to some extent, but look upon it
as a business investment and have
patronized the paper across Ihe
way more than Ihey have the de
ceased publication. And why not?
Merchants no longer advertise
just to help the publisher out, but
because they realize that it pays
them and the paper that the peo
ple read is Ihe logical one to plant
their ads in.
It perhaps will not be many
moons before some damphule will
feel that he must save the coun
try by establishing a republican
paper in Platlsmouth. He will
giv e away a I in piano lo Die most
popular rube in Ihe county in
(dcr to get a circulation and
then the county officials of Ihe
republican failh who dares to
think that Cass county's boundry
extends beyond Ihe cily limits of
Plal I smooth when county patron
age is to be placed will be called
a traitor lo the party.
If seems almost pathetic that
the old Plallsmoulh Herald is no
more, yet none can but feel I hat
it outlived its usefulness. Louis-
v ille Courier.
