The Surprise Party
The surprise party on Kenneth!
Kneedler last Wednesday night at
the Alvo confectionery was a great i
success and was so cleverly gotten up
that he was completely surprised andi
overjoyed. Most of the evening was'
spent in dancing. Refreshments were
served and every one had a merry
time. j
Kenneth says: "It certainly gives
one a new lease on life to find that
there are bo many of the kind heart
ed and generous folks still on earth
I surely appreciate all that these good
people are doing in their endeavor to
make up for me what I miss due to
the loss of my eye sight. It touches
me deeply and I actually believe that
I am even now more happy than
when I could see, because all of the
geaerous, big hearted people and the
true friends are sifted out and I do
not come in contact with those who
are narrow minded and selfish. It is
surprising to find so few knockers in
a community and I am greatly over
joyed to know that a very large per
centage of the Alvo people are of a
kindly nature and believe in having
good times and seeing others have
good times. I wish to thank all those
who took part in getting up the sur
prise party last Wednesday and want
them all to know that I enjoyed my
self immensely.
From Saturday's Daily
To those who attended the indus
trial art exhibit at the high school
building this week the work of the
young people In the grade schools
wrs a revelation to the visitor there
and showed strikingly the excellence
of the work of the youngsters and
their training that had developed
their skill in the school as well as in
the home training.
The art department of the -city
schools, of which Miss Marie Kauf
man is the supervisor, was in charge
of the exhibit and the various teach
ers in the grade schools had assisted
in the success of the occasion, one of
the most interesting that has been
held in the schools of the city. Miss
Frances Fields, supervisor of music,
had arranged the program which wrs
participated in by both the grade
and high school and which was a
most pleasing entertaining feature of
the exhibit and attended by hundreds
of the residents of the city to enjoy
it to the utmost.
From the kindergarten grades up
to the seventh and eighth grades
there were specimens of various kinds
of work, art novelties, toys, more
practical wood work by the grade
boys that embraced hat racks, stools,
stands and other pieces of wopd art
that they had prepared by their own
hands for the exhibit. The girls had
many very artistic pieces of needle
work prepared as well as the show
ing of the real young children in the
doll clothing and other smaller ar
ticles. It was certainly a fine showing
for the schools and one that made the
patrons feel proud of their children
and of the excellent school system
which has brought the Plattsmouth
schools up to rank with the best in
the state.
Many of the articles weer sold to
the visitors and t'ne scholars feel well
pleased with the wonderful success
of the exhibit both financially and
socially and as a means of showing a
little of what the pupils are capable
of doing.

From Saturday's Daily
The wedding of two of the popu
lar young people of this section of
Cass county occurred in this city on
Wednesday afternoon when Miss
Helen Hild and Mr. Edgar F. Mei
singer were quietly united in the
bonds of holy wedlock.
The ceremony was simple, the
service being held at the St. Paul's
Evangelical church, where the bride
has been one of the most faithful
workers since her childhood. The
Rev. H. Kottish, pastor of the church,
read the marriage lines which united
the hearts and lives of these two es
timable young people.
The bride wore a traveling suit of
dark blue and a picture hat to match,
while the groom wore the customary
dark suit. The bridal couple were
attended by Miss Minnie Hild, sister
of the bride, and Mr. Victor Meising
er, brother of the groom.
After a very pleasant dinner at
the home of the parents of the bride,
the two happy young people depart
ed for El Reno, Oklahoma, where
they will visit at the home of Albert
Pappe, grandfather of the bride and
with other relatives and friends for
a short time.
The bride is the eldest daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. George M. Hild, and
has been educated in the Plattsmouth
city schools and for the past few
years was the very efficient stenogra
pher in the office of Attorney A. L.
Tidd. Mrs. Meisinger has a host of
friends over the city who will learn
of her happiness with the greatert
of pleasure.
I The groom is a son of Mr. and
I Mrs. John P. Meisinger, and a mem
ber of one of the best known famil
'ies of the county, and is a young man
of the most sterling worth and held
in the highest esteem by those who
have had the pleasure of knowing
him.
Mr. and Mrs. Meisinger on their
return from their honeymoon will
make their home on the farm of the
groom southwest of the city.

MANY LETTERS FROM EAST; ;
COMING IN ON PROGRAM
From Thursday's Daily
In addition to the letters coming
in to Station W'OAW on the Platts
mout Junior Review radio program
'ast Friday night, a number are also
being received direct by Rapt. De
Wolf and others on the program. Mr.
DeWolf has received a letter from a
gentleman in Pennsylvania stating
he had just returned home from a
meeting of the school board in his
home town, of which he is a mem
ber, and sat down and tuned in the
Plattsmouth school program, which
was most pleasing, coming just after
he had concluded solving some of the
knotty problems that confront all
school boards. Among the letters re
layed to us from Omaha so far are a J
number from Canadian listeners and
a good many from the east. When it
is considered that not one out of 25
-r perhaps 50 listeners takes the time
-ny more to drop a line acknowledg
ing receipt of programs like the ma
jority used to do in the earlier days
of radio, the number of letters and
postal cards coming in on this pro
gram is very pleasing and attests the
fact that it was heard by thousands
of people all over the country.
The letters are all being turned
over to the artists for the perusal
and will be posted on a bulletin
board at the school building.
VERDICT IN STTJLL CASE
From Saturday's Daily
The Jury in the case wherein C.
Lawrence Stull was contesting with
the county board of Cass county the
matter of the construction of the
highway acros9 his farm north of
this city, last evening returned ver
dict in favor of the defendant coun
ty and which gave Mr. Stull $1,018.-
06 as damages for the construction
of the highway. This sum is slight
ly less than the amount set by the
appraisers who had looked the land
over a few months ago and set their
estimate of the damages which the
county should pay. The interests of
the county were represented by Coun
ty Attorney A. G. Cole.
