Heil, Residing: South of Cedar Creek, Paid a Surprise Visit by Friends. Fr'" m 5?afnr1ay'p P.iily Mr. and Mrs. II. E. Heil were made the recipients of a very happy sur prise on the 13th anniversary of their wedding on Saturday evening, March 14. Baskets of lunch were broucht in and everyone came with the intent of putting on a regular celebration in honor of this import ant event. Mr. Heil and wife were much sur prised, but gave their guests a hear ty welcome and extended them every hospitality and entertained them royally. Some fine music was , t nishei by the host on the violin, sec onded by Philip Ilennings on the piano, while Charles Ilennings de lighted everyone with his accordion music which Henry Field has brought into great popularity. A p!ayr piano in the home was also in much de mand and the evening passed swift ly with music, conversation, card games and other social diversions for young and old. There were about 100 present. , A hearty supper was served at mid night to which all did ample justice while the hostess made some delicious enftre and received many compliments on this favorite brew. The supper wa.s served cafeteria style. Mr. and Mrs. Heil lived near Man ley until five years ago when they purchased their present farm home, which is known as the Dr. Polk farm, south of Cedar Creek. Mr. Heil has greatly improved thi3 farm and has remodeled the house and they have a very comfortable and attract ive home. Mrs. Heil was formerly Miss Minnie Jochim, one of the pop ular young ladies of this vicinity. They have a fine- family of two daugh ters and one son and are prospering and enjoying many blessings and have the respect and friendship of all who know them. They received some very beautiful presents in token of the high regard of their friends and were showered with good wishes and congratulations. Louisville Courier. Prm Sfi tfttiz v's ri- 15 v Boys playing with matches fine home burns! That perhaps tells the whole story in tha simplest manner of the fire which destroyed the beau tiful residence of - Mr. and Mrs. M N. Tucker in Nchawka Wednesday afternoon. A couple of f-mall boys started a fire in the weeds and grass south of the residence and with a stiff breeze prevailing it soon spread to an outbuilding within a few feet cf the house. The shed contained a number of boxes which were full of rubbish and it burned very rapid ly. The flames from this building soon caused a blaze to break out under the eaves of the residence and It was soon a mass of flames and burned to the ground. The fire start ed about four o'clock and two hours after it had burned to the founda tion. A large number of men formed a bucket brigade but were unable to cope with the situation owing to the fire originating at such a difficult nlaie to get access. When it was seen the building could not be saved everything was carried from the building. As the place has not been occupied by the owners, very little furniture was in the house. Such fixtures as in the bath room, kitchen, -along with the radiators and the ma chinery operating the water system in the basement were saved. The heat from the burning build ing threatened the John Doty prop erty across the street north, but by wetting the roof it was not damaged The Dotv property is occupied by M H. O'Dell and family and their house hold effects were . carried from the house to insure saving it. After an hours time, however, it was again carried back into the house. Ry the time the crowd ha 1 gath ered the house had only commenced to burn and had there beenthe slightest means of fighting a fire the house would not have burned. Many state a small stream from an ordinary garden hose would have easily saved the structure. The chemical cart was taken to the scene but as soon as the pressure was turn ed on the hose bursted and it was unable to throw a stream high enough to reach the blaze. Had the hose on this machine been in good condition, this beautiful home would still be standing today. This was one of the largest resi dence buildings in Nehawka and the interior finishing was perhaps ts elaborate as any heme in this com munity. Insurance was carried on the place but it is not known at this time whether it was still In force or not. Nehawka Enterprise. HERE FOR SIXTY YEARS ON THE SICK LIST From Saturday' l")aily Mrs. Emma Morrison and Mrs. Frank Emory Pfoutz are numbered an.ong the sick the last few days as the result of the prevailing malady of flu that has kept them confined to their homes for the greater part of the past week. While the condi tion of the ladies is not serious it is very annoying and keeps them from getting around. A TALK WITH A PLATTSMOUTH Ml Mr, Hassler Tells Something of In terest to Plattsmonth Folks From Saturday's Dally Yesterday marked the sixtieth an niversary of the arrival here of Mrs. Henry Spansler, one of the most highly esteemed ladies of this city, as it was on March 27, 1S65, that Mr. and Mrs. Spanglcr, then newly wed ded arrived in Plattsmouth from their old home in Pike county, Ohio, and to make their home in the future years in this locality. The spent one year living in this city and then re moved to the farm sout'.. vest of this city where they located oi the home stead there that was thc r home for many years. At the dath of the husband and father in 1907, Mrs. Spangler came into Plattsmouth to reside with her daughter and where she could enjoy more, the passing years ami has since made her home in the residence property at 10th and Rock streets.

METHODIST CHURCH BEING REDECORATED From Saturday's Dai- The interior of the First Methodist church is now being re-decorated and placed in the very finest of shape for the coming Easter season. N. K. Peo ples, the well known painter, has been busy the past week in getting the work through for the coming Sunday. The interior of the church is being finished in a tone of light tan that adds very much to the gen eral scheme of the decorative fea tures and gives this popular house of worship a place that is ax real place of beauty for the congregation. There's nothing more convincing than the statement of someone you know and have confidence in. That's why this talk with Mr. Hassler, of 5th and Oak streets should be mighty helpful here in Plattsmouth. Wm. Hassler, who is proprietor of the blacksmith shop on North 5th street, opposite the postoffice, says: "Straining work weakened my back and sharp stitches took me across my kidneys. My back was stiff and lame at time3. I used Doan's Pills from Weyrich & Hadraba's drug store and they strengthened my back." (State ment given May 13, 1920.) On November 10, 1924, Mr. Has sler said: "I find that in my ad vanced years, an occasional use of Doan's Fills keeps me feeling my best at all times." Mr. Hassler is only one of many Plattsmouth people who have grate fully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your back aches if your kidneys bother you, don't simply ask for a kidney remedy ask distinctly for DOAN'S PILLS, the same that Mr. Hassler had the remedy backed by. home testimony. 60 cents at all dealers.
