Neb., aged 55 years, 5 months, 15 days. At the age of 8 years he moved with his parents to Maryville, Mo., where he spent his boyhood, coming to Ne braska at the age of 20. On Novem ber 15, 1897, he was married to Cora Trimble, of Eagle, Neb., to which place they moved in 1901, and made their residence until 1923, when they moved to Lincoln. To this union were born 4 child ren, twin daughters. Vera -May. Worthington. Vina Irene Fisher, one son Lester R. Vinson, all of Lin coln, and one daughter, Grace Ber- nice, who died in infancy. These with his wife survive him. He also leaves to mourn his loss an aged father in California, 4 brothers, M. W., of McCook, Neb.. C. S. Kern. Montana; R. N. of Great Falls, Mont., and C. L. of Oklahoma City, Okla. ; four sisters, Mrs. Cora Doyle McCook. Neb.; Mrs. Carrie Hill of Lincoln, Mrs. Bertha Rhodes and Mrs. Jennie Campbell of Los Angeles. Cal. Also two grandsons, Eugene Fisher and Jimmy Worthman of Lin coln, whose devoted companionship did much to brighten his days dur ing his illness, which extended over a period of three years. During this time he was a patient sufferer, com plaining little, and appreciating much the love, devotion and care given him by his loving wife and children Eagle Beacon. TAKEN TO HOSPITAL From Wednesday's Daily This morning F. G. Carnical. one of the men who has been employed at the new Missouri Pacific railroad bridge bridge north of this city, was taken to the hospital in Omaha for treatment as the result of injuries that were received while at work on the bridge. "Red" as he is better known to his associates, was working on the construction work and had been hauled up by the crane to look after some work on the cable when he was shaken loose and fell a distance of some thirty feet to the main bridge structure. The young man alighted on a large timber and suffered very severe in juries that has confined him since Monday afternoon to his room at the Main hotel and finally made neces sary his being taken to the hospital where he will be cared for. Mr. Car nical has suffered a great deal from the effects of the injury and his many friends have been very much worried over his condition and felt that it would be best to have him taken to the hospital. HAS CLOSE CALL A mere coincidence, or "happen stance" of fate, probably saved the life of Robert Hart, 19, employee of the Duff Elevator at the plant Tues day morning. Young Hart, whose parents live at Plattsmouth, was working under the tanks of the elevator at the time the accident occurred. Juzt t the moment his foot slipped into the belts and started carrying the youth on a trip around a large pulley that meant death, the plant was shut down, as the run was com pleted. Although his leg was crushed be tween the large belt and pulley, his injuries were considered as slight in comparison to the circumstance that saved his life. He recived medical attention at once and it was found that both bones of the right leg were broken, the fracture occurring between the ankle and the knee. Nebraska City News-Press.

C. Pearsley, Union, Nebr., Phone 1203. dl6-4tw Clark G. Powell, Secretary of the Omaha Chamber of Commerce wrote us yesterday, regarding our column in the Plattsmouth Journal. "Pub licity of this kind is splendid, and it would seem to me, it would be a strong in3uence in building up the Chamber." Mr. Powell sure "Knows! his beans" we feel grateful for this kind tribute. However time will tell. How much time is there need ed to do something for Plattsmouth it's up to you, old boy! If your forgot it. yesterday was the first day of winter; and today is the shortest day of the year. From now on watch the days lengthen and your coal pile dwindle! ' One of our distinguished business men said this morning "Good stuff, Davis you're putting in the paper. Do you Ktay awake nights thinking of it?" Thanks for the encourage ment. No, we don't stay awake nihgts thinking about it in fact wish there were more papers to take it our source of escape is limited. You can escape by not reading it but a? for us, it's like measles it's in the Hood. However, some of 'em don't speak so encouragingly, you bet your hat! ft 4 M Cfi ristrna -ESS That reminded me of something) that was said to me the f.rst day 1 1 landed in this city, and among these j people whom I have come to admire j more ard more tor tneir grit, pre serverance and friendliness. "What we need is an outsider's "slant" at our city. Therefore if "slants are not appreciated, bear in mind, they are given with the kindest intentions, with a ..boosting spirit of confidence in Plattsmouth's citizenship. The writer's experience "on the road." Fourteen years with Armour covering nearly every state in the country certainly has shown him "how others live" and don't do! Siloam Springs, Arkansas, popula tion 2,700, CO miles from Rogers, thru its Commercial club raises from $10,000 to $15,000 yearly to put "itself on the map." Stuart. Florida, when I was there was a city of about 1.500 and to day, thru its extensive publicity campaiun has more than doubled its population. This shows what aggres sive cc-operation does do elsewhere. and could do here. it worth while to lag? Can we afford to do so? From an ouside "slant." Platts mouth needs a Missouri' river bridge; some factories; graveled roads into the western part of the county; a swimming pool; a hospital; and it'is strictly up to the citizenship of Plattsmouth whether she gets these things. You can't expect your Cham ber of Commerce, or your secretary, to do these things without the co operation of every citizen of this city, and the farmers in thi3 vicinity. 6- and linger awhile in the sacred observance of a Great Day to recount the blessings of life. Before we pass on into 1927, let us pause here a mo ment at Christmas time to exchange greetings and good wishes. Let us assure you that from us our patrons are given a message of good cheer in which we wish to voice our appreciation of your generous treatment in 1926. And as we pass on into 1927 may we work together in unity in the spirit of unselfish service for the upbuild ing of our community. ri 1 smeiii ri n 5 i in- in i I- -! Onf man Faid. "Well. I'll wait and see what you do, then if you show results, will come' into the organ ization." Gosh&mlty do something with what? The outside "slant" is not a criti cal one. It is an appreciative ore. Just don't forget what a fine city we have; what a fine agricultural business; our large Burlington shops; and the spirit of progress that has done so much in the face of so many adverse conditions, in the past, and we should take heart indeed. One man stated he had never used a Plattsmouth loaf of bread until we urged the necessity of supporting our heme institutions. Another woman dropped in and advised us she had always bought from Omaha hereto fore, but not any more. This is merely a growing consciousness, that our business men are our friends; our schools, streets, churches, fire depart ment, depend on these same men, and the filthy lucre must come from where? From you and me! Do you ever read the Florida ad vertisements m the various maga zines? If you do, you know why Florida is surviving the calamity that beftll her. You can see how Platts mouth and Cass county can do like wise. Isn't the investment worth the effort? You are darn'd right, it is. Tn Mississippi. Alabama. Goorcia. Mars-land. New York. Virginia and Texas, in speaking of my home state of Nebraska, they would, say. My. it's COLD there and just think of thp sand storms, and CTasshopners."' That's the idea of Nebraska. How I have just boiled with indignation. Here is Cass county, rich, prosper ous, fertile soil, free from rocks, There we reiterate (A fine word!) what we need is an engulfing stream of co-operation; a nation-wide pub licity campaign. How do we get it? Thru you! How much do you think of Plattsmouth and Cass county? stumps; and here is Plattsmouth, beautifully situated, and the "beauty spot" of Nebraska along the great Missouri river and listen to the Georgia Crackers, and Texas Greasers scoff et a state so superior to those states there is no comparison. And why? Because, the Cass county Chambers of Commerce are not able to broadcast the correct information of glorious old Plattsmouth and won derful Cass county! W. G.
