From a Former Citizen.
Barry, Minn., Jan. 11, 1015.
To the Plattsmouth Journal and My
Many Friends in Cass County:
I take this method in writing to all.
I left Cass county Tuesday, December
20, and arrived here in Minnesota
Monday morning, January 4. I left
Murray Tuesday evening about 7
o'clock and arrived in Omaha that
evening about 10:30, just in time to
see my train for Sioux City leaving.
I had to lay there until the next
evening at 4 o'clock. I got to Sioux
City at 11 o'clock that night, so I
could get no train out of there until
6:30 the next evening, and in making
up my train they broke the air pipe,
or, as the trainmen say, "train line,"
so I was delayed until 6:30 Friday
evening. I arrived in Morris, Minn.,
Saturday evening at 5:80. As there
was no train out to Graceville until
Monday morning I was compelled to
lay over Sunday at 5Iorris. I loaded
my stock into the car about o'clock
Monday morning and arrived in
Graceville about 10 o'clock a. m. In
shipping from Morris to Graceville I
had one horse badly hurt. She seems
to be jammed in her right fore shoul
der. The neighbors turned out and
helped me move.
The weather is fine here and not
much snow.
I find stock here about as cheap as
it was in Nebraska.
I was lucky enough to get two good
cows up here for S4 each.
Corn is pretty good in this locality,
making about 40 to 4 bushels per
acre.
I found COO bushels of corn in my
crib, that being my share of forty
acres, or one-third of the crop.
I bought all of the hay I need for
$4.50 per ton, and it's good hay.
My family arrived Friday evening.
They enjoyed their trip and like the
country fine so far.
I hope the Journal will find space
for these few lines and if they don't
reach the wastebasket I will try to
keep you posted on the crops, weather,
etc. R. C. BAILEY.
The Telephone Meeting.
The Farmers' Telephone meeting
that was called at Loughridge hall in
Murray last Saturday was well at
tended. There were fully 100 in at
tendance, and all seemed very enthu
siastic over the proposition. There
were steps taken for a permanent or
ganization, and. among other business
transacted, a committee was ap
pointed to solicit subscriptions for the
new service, and up to the present
time there have been 150 phones sub
scribed for. This means that the Mur
ray exchange will have fully 200
phones in case the new venture proves
success. The plans are now for a
new line and service throughout, con
necting with the Union, Weeping
Water and Avoca lines. The pro
moters of the new lineare confident
that- they will have one of the best
farmers' lines in the state.
Chickens for Sale.
Fourteen dozen thoroughbred Buff
Orpington hens and pullets for sale
at $8.00 per dozen if taken soon. Also
Florida and California and a great .a number of Buff Orpington cockerels,
variety of nuts and confections. j Mrs. J. II. Brown, Murray.
Married in Omaha.
The Journal certainly has an apol
ogy to offer the excellent family of
Mr. and Mrs. George Ray, residing
east of Murray, for what might seem
carelessness on our part, at the time
of the marriage of their daughter,
Miss Esther, to Mr. Glen Thompson,
which occurred in Omaha on the 23d
of December. The marriage cere
mony, which was witnessed by Mr.
and Mrs. Ray and James Hatchett,
was performed in Omaha, and was an
affair that entirely escaped the no
tice of the Journal reporters, and
failed to get into the columns of the
paper. This alone is the cause fol
iate notice of the happy event. Miss
Ray was always one of the most pop
ular young ladies in this section of
Cass county, and is the eldest daugh
ter of Mr. and Mrs. George S. Ray,
who have resided in this vicinity for
many years. The groom, Mr. Glen
Thompson, is a young man of sterling
worth, and resides at Wood River,
Neb., where the young people will
make their future home. After mak
ing a couple of weeks' stay in and
around the old home of the bride,
where numerous entertainments were
held in honor of the newly weds, they
departed last Saturday for tneir fu
ture home in Wood River. The best
wishes for a happy wedded life g
with them from the many friends a
the old home of Mrs. Ray. The Jour
nal joins in extending congratula
tions.

at the same time express my regrets

Big Public Sale.
The Robt. Shrader sale, held at his
late home west of Murray Tuesday,
was one of the most successful ever
hoh in this nart of the county. The
property all sold well, and brought
erood prices. The stuff was all new,
and the stock and horses were top
notchers, and should bring a good
price. Col. Wm. R. Young, the auc-
tioneer, was at his best, ana wnen
Rex is in prime condition it takes a
dandy to beat him on the auctioneer's
block. He is always on the alert for
the high dollar and he usually gets it.
He is comparatively a young man at
the business, but has the majority of
them "skinned a mile" that have been
at the business all their lives. You
will make no mistake when you em
ploy him for your sale.

Main street is being pushed rapidly
r.nd the contractor, L. G. Larson, and
a force of men are getting the place

extent. The adjoining building, which
was purchased by George W. Sayles
last Saturday, will be at once re
paired and placed in condition for use

Ey Russell E. Smith.
Under a spreading chestnut tree
The village smith is seen;
The smith, a wealthy man is he
With wads of good "long green;"
And large the bank deposits made
Each Saturday, I ween.
No children stand at his open door
To watch the sparks that fly;
He hammers horseshoes never more,
While roaring fires flare high,
And flick the beams with wonderous
gleams,
And hold the youthful eye.
Nay, nay, my friend, the smith today
Has other things to do;
He mends the auto as it waits,
And fixes tires, too;
While gasoline he sells in cans,
With ne'er a horse to shoe.
Mrs. Mike Lutz Better.
