Neville Jacob Vinson was born
June 14, 1S67, at Quincy, 111., and
departed this life on November 29,
1926, at his home in Lincoln. 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

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

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!

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.

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.

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.

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!
