GOOD ROADS DAYS
NEXT THURSDAY AND
FRIDAYOCT. 9 AND10
Cass County Should Not Be Be
hind Other Counties in . This
Wove to Better the Roads.
What are the cilizens liere po
int? In .lo to aid in I he pood -roads
dav on next Thursday and Friday,
Oelober J and 10? This is the
lime when every believer in the
pood roads movement should pet
out and join in the procession of
"live ones" that will on those
.io,-., iw. imcv throughout the
state in workinp the public high
ways. The residents of the town
ran spare a short time to fix up
the road or street adjoininp their
homes and thereby contribute
their share to the peneral pro
pram of improvement that will be
placed upon the roads of Ne
braska. Every farmer should find time
durinp these days to pet out and
drag the roads, as well as fill up
any holes that may be dangerous
on the highway near their prem
ises or farm and make it -possible
for themselves, as well as
their neighbors, to drive through
the country with comfort and
safety; There is no question so
vital in these days as that of
good roads, and it is one that
concerns both the townsman as
"welTas the farmer, for without
good roads it is impossible for
the farmer to come to town to
trade, and with the farmer a good
road is necessary that he may
haul his produce to the market
in the larger towns, and by work
ing together great pood can be
accomplished by both in makinp
the country roads and city streets
passable and in pood shape for
travel.
This is the very time of the
year when the roads should be
dragged and graded and placed
in condition for the winter sea
son, when they will be filled with
ii .1 i i 1 r
snow, anu n aitoweu in mui m
the winter season filled with
holes and gullies, will, in the
spring, make travel a matter of
impossibility. Let everybody that
possibly can lay aside their other
duties on these days and get out
and assist in the good work of
putting the roads in shape
for winter, and let them
look at the splendid example set
by the citizens of Missouri, when
bankers and merchants worked
side by side with Ntht 'farmers' in
putting the roads in good shape.

PLATTSMOUTH SEMI-WEEKLVEVEMlNQ
SOUTH FOURTH STREET
IN VERY POOR CONDITION
From Friday's Dally.
If there is a street, in the city
of Plattsmouth that, needs to be
looked after it is Fourth street
from Main south to Pearl, as
whenever there is a little rain
this street becomes a regular
bosr in snots, and while used a
great deal, not only by the de
livery teams of the different mer
chants, but also by farmers in
driving to the hitching racks, its
condition is something awful at
times, and driving through it be
comes a task quite difficult, as
the water and mud stands there
for davs after every other place
has dried up. and those who are
compelled to drive through there
every day will appreciate very
much any steps that may be
taken to place that thoroughfare
in the shape it should be. This
is one of the pricipally traveled
streets outside of Main street,
and is also without a doubt one
of the poorest kept up of any of
them and it seems that some
teps should be takon to have it
graded and fixed up before cold
weather sets in, so that next
spring it will not resemble a frog
nond. as it is certain to do if the
proper steps are not taken this
fall. Let the city council get
busy and try and have this eye
sore fixed up as soon as possible.

very pleasantly. Mr. Davis was
born in the state of Tennessee,

precinct since i857, having spent
manv years on a farm a short
distance northeast of this vil
lage. Several ytars ago he pur
chased 'a comfortable home here
in town, where he enjoys the op
portunity of meeting many of
his friends every day. He is
auite jovial and "young for his
age," and his many friends are
pleased to notice that he will
probably bea ble to celebrate
several more anniversaries.

YOUNG MAN OF WEEPING
WATER IS ACCIDENTALLY
SHOT NEAR SPRINGFIELD
From Friday's Dally.
The following from the'Omaha
Evening News of last night gives
the account of the death in that
city of a Cass county young man,
the victim of a hunting expedition
near Springfield, Nebraska:
"Fred O'Connell, aged 1, of
Weeping Wafer, Neb., died at the
Methodist hospital here at. 3:30
o'clock this morning of a gunshot
wouud suffered while hunting
near Springfield, Neb., Tuesday.
His body will be removed to
Weeping Water today for burial.
O'Connell was hunting on the
farm of his sister, Mrs. Bert Dill,
southeast of Springfield, and one
of his companions, while shoot
ing at a muskrat, accidentally
shot Hie youth. The charge of
shot tore away a part of his
skull.
A Bigger and Better Union.
(Union Ledger.)
By reference to Ordinance No.
47 published in another column
of this issue, it will be noticed
that the village has "expanded" to
some extent in the matter of ter
ritory covered by the corporate
lines, the "expansion" dating
from this the first publication of
the ordinance. These lines were
established by the' decree of the
district court about two weeks
ago, and while the added terri
tory does not cover all the land
petitioned for, it adds some very
desirable tracts that will be ad
vantageous to the village as well
as a lasting benefit lo the tracts
of land. At first it was intend
ed to include a large tract of land
belonging to Mrs. Agnes Peterson
of Balch, Wash., but she contest
ed the matter, and it seems that
the court struck a "happy me
dium" that is satisfactory to her
as well as the village!.
With this added territory the
village assumes more responsi
bility as well as more importance,
and it is necessary for all the citi
zens to pull together in all mat
ters of public interest and for the
benefit of the town and people of
this vicinity, and not allow petty
grievances work injury to the
public welfare. If you have a
"grudge" against some other fel
low, and allow that to interfere
with anv good that both might do
you are simply classifying your
self as a narrow-minded individ
ual who puts his selfish motives
above the public welfare worth
less ballast that drags along and
impedes progress. If you are in
that class, get out of it; if you
are not in that class, don't get in
it. The town needs the push and
energy of all citizens, drab the
tow-line and yell, "come on." in
stead of standing still or hold
ing back and saying "what's the
use?"
Oysters Now on Hand.
The lunch room in the rear of
the Geise saloon will be found in
the future well supplied with all
kinds of oysters in any style you
may desire, and all parties de
siring anything in this line will
do well to drop in there.
