But No Reunion. j
I i i !
The first time for three score
years there will be no Old Settlers
reunion in Union. The committee
apnointed to look' after the -matter,
did not get the matter sufficient in
hand in time for the day et which
was for the last two days of this
week, and Union goes into history
with the lapsing of the Old Settler's
reunion. For twenty-nine years there
has not been a break in the annual
gathering of this historic organiza
tion, and many are the excellent
times which have been celebrated in
and near this city. It seems rather
too bad that there could not have
been found some way to have had
the reunion. Many of the citizens
were desirous of holding the reunion
but on account of the fear of some
that a very undesirable element
would be thrust into the society of
the city, it was considered best not
to have it. The element is that
which follows shows, and gather
ings of this kind, with gambling de
vices and corrupting associations.

Family Reunion
Grandma Graves, who is makiH.;
her home with Mr. and Mrs. J. D.
Graves, of Peru, is approaching her
99th birthday anniversary, and u
number of her children gathered at
the home last week for a visit with
her and a family reunion. Besides
J. I). Graves, of Peru, her son, C. M.,
of Yakima, Washington, has been
with her all summer. At the re
union, three other eons were here.
They were A. II.. of Murray; A. S.,
of Bellevue and C. L., of Union. The
combined ages of the mother and
five sons are 438 years, and adding
the ages of one other son and two
daughters, all living, the combined
ages aggregate 654 years. Not many
families, we presume, have a great
er number of years to their credit.
Mrs. Graves will be 99 next month.

fire You GMn&
The Bens a Chance?
A HEN just can't help wanting to lay eggs.
Nature made her that way. But she can't
lay unless she's treated right.
Give her a chance and she'll work for you winter
and summer.
Hens like a good, warm, sunny, wind-tight house. Thoy
can't lay eggs if it takes all the feed you give them to keep
them warm. And there's a vast difference in the way
fertile eggs, laid under the right conditions, hatch out.
With a good poultry house you get earlier hatches and
more winter eggs the two things that make for big poultry
profits.
WJute Pine makes the best chicken house, because the
boaids stay where you put them without w.rping or twist
ing or splitting. A White Pine chicken house means
freedom from continual repairs. It's a real investment.
We have practical working plans, specifications end bills cf
material on the three chicken houses and will kladly quote
you prices on them. They are designed with the "morejgt"
idea in mind.
Wc else have plans for other farm buildinp. Come in t:id sec Uicm
or bend ioi us. Our service costs you nothing.

Union Trims Nehawka.
Under the inspiration of Roy
Togan, who is conducting the mar
ket and store in this city for
Thomas Cromwell, the lovers of the
base ball game got together and ac
cepted the challenge of the team at
Nehawka, and in the contest which
followed in the game which was
played on the Nehawka field, trim
med the Nehawkaites nicely. The
team at this place was hastily org
anized and notwithstanding the fact
they did not have an opportunity
to get much practice were able to
slip it over on the boys in our neigh
boring town nicely. The line-up
for the Union team was: Robert
Eaten, pitcher; Horace Griffeth.
catcher; Ben Waltz, 1st base; Roy
Togan. 2nd base; John Peasley. Srd
ba?e; John Hoback. short stop;
Ralph Davis, right field; Alec Eaton,
center field; E. Hathaway, left
field.
John Peasley in his accounting
for his portion of the five scores
made a home run, and created a
great demonstration on the part of
the Union rooters, and consternation
to the Nehawka people.
'Hick' Davis, was the most popu
lar of players, and as he is credited
with a three bagger, he L? not at all
slow. There is to be a game at the
same place with the Nehawka team
next Sunday, and in this there is
looked to be a pretty spirited con
test. Many from this city and
neighborhood will attend the game.
Wheat About All In.
With the closing of the thresh
ing and marketing of wheat, there
will be considerable corn yet to be
marketed, there being some little
arriving already. The price is one
dollar and eight cents, where the
corn comes to the proper grade.

Yesterday, Everett K. Ward, c!'
Plattsmouth, a young man of clean
habits and with an excellent educa

iiis sericts in defense of the flat
He has but a 6hort time since re
turned from the service, bein riu
chargd with honor. Mr. Ward i
a man of much ability, and should
he be selected by the local boi.rd of
education, will, we feel sure, make
an excellent instructor in the Fchools
here.

Use Your High

With farm lands selling at three hundred dollars
per acre and wheat bringing $2.07. and with corn fol
lowing closely, why have some of this valuable domain
loafing and not producing anything? With trees and

be utilized for crops, Mr. Farmer, you are losing money.
