account of tin splendid work
that was performed on the high

last week, but it is hard to lind
in this part if Cass county any
one who "was working on the
roads on those days, and if the
roads in this county are to be
kept in shape to compare with
those of other sections it will bo
necessary for the resident of
the county'to assist in the task
by dragging their roads. It is
true that there are a number of
the wide-awake farmers who
recognize the value of good loads
and who work on the highways
near their farms several time?
during the year, but these are in
a minority, especially in the
eastern section of the county,
where the hills make t tie task of
keeping llie roads in good shape
even more difficult. The county
cares for as much of the road
work as they can, but there are
pieces of road oil' the main
traveled . thoroughfares that
needs to be put in shape for win
ter, and those who fail to drag
their roads before the freezing
weather sets in are working
themselves an injustice.

FOR STILL A FURTHER
ADVANCEMENT OF THE
CITY OF PIATTSHOUTH
We have often heard the re
mark passed that certain towns
were so successful in developing:
and in maintaining their stand
ing before the world and how it
was done was . a puzzle to the
party making the statement
There is really only one way to
make a town successful and
prosperous and that is for the
residents of the place to present
a united front, for the business
interests to stand together and
work for the constant advance
ment of their town, regardless of
the question of whether they can
see themselves realizing large
financial returns at once from
their efforts. Whatever tends
to make an improvement in a
town will aid in developing its
business interests, for they are
part of the one great system and
when one expands or contracts
the other must of necessity fol
low. In the past two years the
city of Plaltsmouth has advanced
rapidly to the front, not by a
sudden spadmodic effort, but by
slow, steady, healthful growth,
and it will today stand out among
any of the towns in eastern Ne
braska as a live one, and with the
united efforts of all the residents
its advancement can be further
ed and ever person who resides
in this city should make up his
or her mind that during the com
ing year they will always be
ready to say a good word or do
some act to add to the advance
ment of the city and it material
welfare. Let us all get together
and make a united effort to place
Plattsmouth where it belongs
in the front ranks of the smaller
cities of the slate.

man of L'Anse, Mich., writes:
For years, Foley's Honey and

cine. We give it to our children,

WOODMAN CIRCLE ENJOYED
FINE TIME TUESDAY NIGHT
On Tuesday evening of this
week, the Woodmen Circle of
this city held one of the most
successful meetings they have
had so far this season, and the
members of the order were
greatly pleased with the attend
ance, and the interest shown as
well as the llattering increase to
the list of membership of this
flourishing lodge. There were
eleven candidates for initiation
present, and they were conducted
through the mysteries of the or
der by the degree team from the
lodge in this city, and the splen
did manner in which the ladies
carried on the floor work was
very pleasing to the members of
the lodge. The Woodmen Circle
while one of the youngest
lodges in this city, has through
the careful work of the local
representative, Mrs. Joseph
Dodge and the live members of
the order grown into one of the
argest and livest organizations
in the city, and the list of mem
bers is being constantly added
to. After the session of tne
odge Tuesday, a short social
time was enjoyed by the lodge
members and their friends in
dancing and music, as well as
the disposal of the tempting re
freshments served. Mrs. Kale
Remington, of Omaha, state
manager of the Woodmen Circle
was present at the meeting and
assisted in the work.

rah for the Farmer Macks!
It will perhaps be remembered
that last June a man by the name
of Hunt forged a note on Nelson
Jeans, a farmer, near Plalts
mouth; and sold the same to John
Shannon of this place. After
this performance the said Hunt
hunted himself a shady spot
down east somewhere, and the
said John Shannon' has been
hunting for the said Hunt, and
the above mentioned; shady spot
ever since. About ten days ago
the hunter ended the hunt he
treed his game; found his man
way down in York state, and by
authority of sundry little pieces
of paper from ye quill of our
noble governor, the said Shannon
was permitted, by the governor
of York slate, one John A. Dix, to
bring the said game right along
to the slate of Nebraska, with the
express understanding from the
said Dix, now governor, that if
any man attempted to hunt Hunt,
except the lawful hunter (Shan
non), or if the said Hunt should
get sassy and attempt . to roll
himself in the American flag, and
thus disgrace it, the lawful
hunter might "shoot him on the
spot." Hunt took it cool, how
ever, and Shannon took it cool,
and the weather being moderately
cool, both arrived here last week
in good condition and unper-
foraled by anything more deadly
than sundry paper bullets called
requisitions, and some blank
cartridges, of an old style, named

conical shell, Mittimus, Shannon
has turned the proceeds of his

will be a legal bombardment
about Ibis Hunt, the artillerists
for the hunter being Wheeler &

DIED At Cheyenne, on Monday,
the 20th, in the thirty-third
year of his age, John Newton,
youngest son of John G. Hayes
of Plattsmouth, Nebraska. His
remains were brought to the
family burying ground at this
place, and interred on Tuesday
evening.
John Newton Hayes was born
in Springfield, Ohio, October,
1811. He came to Nebraska in
1857, a mere lad, having already
having learned the printer's
trade. Printing offices were not
numerous in Nebraska at that
early day and young Hays re
turned to Ohio again. On the
breaking out of the war, he
joined vlhe 81st Ohio infantry
and was shortly promoted to a
I-ieutenantcy ,:and as quarter
master of the regiment followed
Sherman to thesea. In '65 he
J returned to this state and be
came foreman of the Herald
office, then under the manage
ment of H. D. Hathaway, where
he remained for three years
largely aiding1 by his thorough
knowledge of printing1 and his
pleasant ways, in building up
this paper to the proportions of
a first-class weekly county pa
per. In '68 Mr. Hays went to
Fremont. He and Sam Chapman
his intimate friend, drove from
Plaltsmouth to Fremont, a long
tiresome journey then. On ar
riving opposite that town they
were obliged to leave their team
and crossing the river in a skiff,
partly wading, they walked to
town, some three miles from the
landing. Chapman went to bed;
Hays, ever gritty, nervy and ful
of work, commenced business at
once and before nightfall he had
so inspired the people of Fre-
month with his own pluck and
enthusiasm that the Fremont
Tribune that afternoon became a
fact. A few weeks later the
presses, type, etc., were on the
spot, and for four years J. New
ton Hays made that same Trib
une one of the liveliest, best and
most reliable of country papers
His reputation as an editor ex
tended the state over and no
young man in our midst stood
higher or had brighter prospects
before him than Hays, But the
fell hand of death was upon him,
already that cruel destroyer of
American homes, consumption,
had marked him for a victim. A
severe cold brought on by falling
through the ice at Plattsmouth,
gave the start that way and his
untiring devotion to his busi
ness, for he was a most persist
ent worker, aided the first cause
so rapidly that in '73 he severed
his connection with the Tribune
and went to Colorado for his
health, entering into business
temporarily at Cheyenne. His
health improved-so much that he
thought he could live in Ne
braska once more, and he re
turned to Fremont. Early in '74
he removed his family to Plaits.
mouth and again left for Colo-
rado to seek rest and health
His friends and relations in
Plaltsmouth never saw him
again. Just alter ne got tne
Tribune on a good footing- Mr
Havs married the daughter of
Captain Marshall, our post
master, and his death at this
time is peculiarly sad, as he
leaves . a little daughter only
about ten days old, and his
widow had not the mournful
pleasure of seeing his face once
more before he was buried, or
even of following his remains to
their last resting place. On
Tuesday evening a few personal
friends collected at the depot on
the arrival of the late train from
Omaha, and with sorrow and
pain the solemn college follow
ed the remains of J. Newton Hays
to the cemetery. Rev. Mr. Bartle,
in a few simple and effective
words and prayer, consigned his
body to its long home, and with
heavy hearts we turned away and
eft him there alone. Our friend,
our neighbor and our brother
editor is gone. The busy brain
is stilled forever. Those count
ess schemes and plans of life
are checked for age, and tomor
row as we take up our pen again,
we shall realize to our heart's
core how short is life, how sud
den may be our last, last "proof."
May that last proof need but few
corrections above.
Senator Hitchcock seems to
have been very warmly welcomed
during his short stay. Judge
Dundy and his court gave him a
supper in Omaha. Colonel Crop
sey and other friends in Lincoln
welcomed hirn with a banquet,
and in Nebraska City they set up
some sort of doings. We did ex
pect him at Plattsmouth, but the
big guns carried him off and mo
nopolized his attention so that
little Plaltsmouth was obliged to
forego the honor of banqueting
a United States Senator. Don't
care, we've got a new high school
and we banqueted ourselves Sat
urday night last, and had a grand
time, and lots of wit and fun at it
too. So we did.
