The Christmas time will have come
and gone before another issue of the
Evening Journal is brought forth and
at this time the Journal desires to
express to its friends and patrons the
best wishes for a bright and happy
Christmas time filled with the true
spirit of rejoicing and happiness.
We trust that on this day of uni
versal rejoicing at the anniversary
of the Babe of Bethlehem, over the
world there may be more of the spirit
of the Master who came to earth
1322 years ago to bring ot mankind
the promise of redemption from sin
and the life everlasting and that
strife cause dby the struggle for ma
terial things of life may be laid aside
for this one day in favor of the spir
itual teachings of "Peace on Earth
Good Will Toward Men."
To many the day merely marks
the time when they give or receive a
gift and in it they lose the real sig
nificance or the giving that spirit
of love and good will which is a tri
bute to the undying love of Him
whose birth is being celebrated on
this date.
Hatred of nations, the strife of in
dividuals, class struggles should, at
least for this one day, be laid aside
so that the song of praise of Christ
mas day may carry the ring of sin
cerity and hopefulness for a world
free from the narowness of the ma
terial life.
May each one who dwells in the
city of Plattsinouth and elsewhere
have in their hearts and their homes
the real significance of Christmas
time and the abundant blessings of
the day is the sincere wish of the
Journal.

VERY PRETTY
HOME WEDDING
ISSOLEMNIZED
Miss Esther Schmidt and Robert T
Stock United in Marriage on
Thursday Afternoon.
On Thursday afternoon pt the
beautiful home of Mr. and Mrs. II.
R. Schmidt occurred the wedding of
their daughter. Miss Esther H.
Schmidt, to Mr. Robert T. Stock, in
which two of Murdock's very popu
lar young people, were joined in the
holy bonds of matrimony.
The Schmidt home had been beau
tifully decorated in pink and white,
making a most pleasant place for the
celebration of the nuptial vows and
the plighting of the troth, which
shall bind these young people during
their life. An arch of pink and
white has been constructed in the
corner of the pleasant drawing room,
with a large white wedding bell sus
pended in its center, under which
the bridal couple stood while the
words were sakl which made them
husband and wife. The bride car
ried a shower boquet of bride's roses
and looked very winsome.
Miss Marie Schmidt, a sister cf
the bride, was maid of honor, while
Mr. Paul Stock, brother of the groom,
was the best man at the eeremonv.
More Valuable Than Money
Max Dusterhoff and Joe Wutchinek
have just completed the papering of
two rooms at the Dusterhoff home,
and it is looking line. We were there
at the time the work was being
done, and a very fine grade of wall !
coverings were being used. The j:vU-!
ter of cost coming into the discus- ,
sion, Mr. Dusterhoff said that the
cost of the paper and its 'lading
would cost ut the present ration of
the German mark to the American
dollar, 15,000 marks per roll and
there being ten of the rolls used, ,
the job would amount to 150,000 j
German marks for the finishing of j
the decoration. Were the surface '
covered with the real German mark,
the surface covered would be much j
greater. However, the rooms are
beauties and much more attractive
than if the money was used to deco
rate the place.

Greetings to Murdock
lmring the years in which wel-51
have been coming to Murdock, with M
every week, we have been brought
into contact with the excellent citi
zens and with their wants and inter
ests in a way which has made it our
own.' We have found here many
friends, whose friendship has grown
with the years and whose prosperity
we are wishing may grow with the
time, and that their happiness may
be lasting, and that the health may
be abounding. The city of Murdock,
during the past few years, has made
oome very substantial gains that
have added many new and substan
tial residences, which have made the
city a better place in which to live.
During the past two years Murdock
has had installed electric lights,
thus taking a forward step in the
line of progresr. A portion of the
city has instituted a system of sew
erage and water service. Murdock
is looking forward to more and bet
ter improvements. A system of
water works embracing the entire
town, a better town hall and a num
ber of industries which would em
ploy workmen and thus extend its
borders, as well as make the living
here more enjoyable. These and
many other things is the wish of
the Journal for this town.
5With the holiday season over we will be better prepared than
ever before to look after your repair work. Bring us your watches.
