Uoyles and wife departed a week or more since for McCook, Neb., v.-here they were spending some time at the home of their son, Dale Boyles and family of that place. They made the trip via the train as the weath er was not the best. ' Business called W. II. Warner to Lincoln early last week, he making the trip with a friend in the latter's auto. Mr. Warner, who is over 80 years of age is feeling pretty good, thank you, and ready most any day for a good day's work. The Ladies Aid of the Methodist church of Alvo were meeting on last Thursday with Mrs. Charles Godbey, where the ladies took up the work which called them together and fol lowing which they had a social hour with good eats and an excellent pro gram. August Johnson, who has been hav ing considerable trouble with one of his legs for a long time, was taken to the hospital at Lincoln about two weeks since and has been receiving treatment since. Mr. Johnson was able to return home on Friday of last week. Earl Bennett will hold a sale of his farming equipment on January 16th, which will give him a few days to get straightened out before taking charge of the store. lie has already moved to Alvo and gotten settled. which cets that much of the work out of the way. J. II. Welchel and son, Harry, were over to Lincoln early last week, go ing to, see Dr. Neeley, who has al ways been the family physician of the Weychel family, and who is treating Mr. Weychel, who has been quite sick for some time. While feel ing much better, Mr. Weychel is not in his former health. On last Wednesday the Missionary society of the Methodist church were meeting at the home of Mrs. A. I Bird, where they were having & good meeting, looking towards the year's work as well as at the same time en joying the gathering together and were very pleasantly entertained by the genial hostess, Mrs. Bird.

Bornemeier entertained the members of the Woman's Reading dub of Alvo at her beautiful coun try home on Thursday of last week and had a large number of the mem bers present and an excellent time with a most- worth-while program and the social hour was greatly en joyed by all present, which was made the more pleasant by the delightful luncheon that was served by the gen ial hostess. All voted Mrs. Berne meier a fine entertainer. , Receives Injury to Eye While at his work about the lum ber yard a few days since, John Ban ning, the affable lumber dealer, had the misfortune to get some foreign particle in one of his eyes, and while did everything to remove the ob ject, he was unable to do so, and had to g-o to Lincoln to a specialist on Wednesday of last week to have the object removed and the eye treated, as it was giving him much pain. Much Corn to Market The elevator and offices of Simon Rehmeyer has been quite a busy place on account of the offerings of corn increasing and making the shipping very lively. Mr. Rehmeyer has had Walter Vincent assisting at the ele vator, and they have been able to receive and ship much prain. Mr Rehmeyer sure is a hustler when it comes to getting work off. Notwith standing the fact that he always uses great care as well. Makes Change in Business Some ten years since R. M. Coat man came to Alvo and embarked in the hardware business and has con ducted a hardware and implement business since. He has also been en gaged in trucking and the operation ot a teed mill. He has enjoyed a prood business during the time he has been here and besides has a host of friends. During the past week he disposed of his hardware business as well as the feed grinding to Earl Bennett, who will take possession about January 20th, as Earl is to have a sale and it will take until about that time before they can get to the inventory. Mr. Bennett has been farming on the old homestead and with the sale of it which was made some time ago, l;e has to vacate the place and sought some other line of endeavor. Mr. Coatman, who retains the implement business and will continue trucking, will remain a citizen of Alvo. and the disposing of the store will allow him more time for other things. Here tofore he has had the help of the children, but Philip is working in Lincoln and Sterling operates the maintainer; and one of the larger girls is attending school in Lincoln, which makes it inconvenient when. there is a rush of work outside, there fore he thought it best to dispose of the store, notwithstanding It was good paying proposition. Getting Thing in Snap With the moving of the store of Ed Nelson, it required a good deal of time to get the goods properly ar ranged and in their proper place With every day things are assuming better appointments and the store is looking much the better ana present ing a very inviting appearance. Conducting Religious Revival The district superintendent of the Methodist church of this district, in co-operation with the resident pastor at Alvo, the Rev. Street, are conduct ing a revival at the Methodist church and are havinir a good attendance with much interest manifest. Onk Fischer Very Sick Uncle Onk Fischer, well advanced in vears. has been very sick at his home in Alvo for the past two weeks with pneumonia. On Wednesday of last week the fever had subsided sliehtly, which inspired hope of hi recovery, as he had been very crit ically 111 for some time. He was so sick that no one was allowed to en ter the sick room except the physi clan and the attendants. Home Last Friday William Kitzel, who has been at the Lincoln General hospital for some time, where he underwent an opera tlon for appendicitis, has been show ing good improvement and was al lowed to return to his home on last Friday. Since his coming home, he has been showing good progress. Right and Very Proper Last Wednesday, January 8th marked the passing of the 38th mile stone of the honored Mayor of Alvo and genial hustler, Art Dinges, and having some business in Lincoln to look after which he could combine with the celebration of the passing of the birthday, he and the good wife went over to the big city, where they looked after the business and met few friends and relatives. e are with his many friends, extending con gratulatlons of this falicitous event.

Carstens, presiding, and W. E. Tow'.e, secretary, looking after the records.

The first day will be used for the getting all exhibits in place so that the time of the other three days shall not be wasted but that the work of awarding the premiums and also of giving the programs which has often been cut short on account of time.

WALNUT EMBEDDED IN TRUNK OF TREE Last week Walter Lenz brought to this office a chunk of walnut wood. perhaps 14 or 15 inches in diameter He had been sawing wood and he noticed that spraks flew when he hit about the center of the piece of wood. The saw worked so hard the piece of wood was turned around and sawed from the other side. When the wood was sawed in two, a walnut was round embedded in the center of the trunk of the tree. It is a my stery how it got there but the sup position is that there must have been a crack in the trunk and the walnut having fallen there, the tree as it grew embedded the walnut which from all' appearances had been there for a long time. Just why the walnut was so hard to saw is another my stery, but Walter said that it was almost like sawing into steel. Elmwood Leader-Echo. OPEN NEMAHA BRIDGE TODAY Falls City, Neb.

Old Lee Home to be Restored by Foundation Finding of 1758 Inventory Will Aid in Refurnishing of Strat ford Estate Fredericksburg, Va. A discovery which will enable the Robert E. 1" Memorial Foundation, of Or-enwlch. Conn., to re-tore exactly th old at mosphere of Stratford Hull, hom of the Lees in Westmoreland County, wns made by Minn Ethel Armr ex pert in historical data, and national executive secretary of the founda tion, when she found at Montross Court House a complete Inventory of the Stratford estate. It wm dated Aug. 17. 1758, and will be an au thentic guide in refurnishing Strat ford. During the seach. Miss Arm'i lo cated a volume of essays, meditations; and sermons, in the handwriting of Hannah LudweJl Lee. daughter of Thomas Lee, builder of Stratford and first native born Governor of Vir ginia. The volume Is owned by Miss Mary Lee Murdock of TTestmoreJsnd County, who has promised Miss Armes that It will be given to the Stratford Historical Library. The Inventory of the Startford estate reflects the typical household possession? and pictures of the rlA-e and the spelling and grammer of th period. It shows the "Blu Ror.m," with its chairs, prints, bed and curtains, and chimney furniture; the "Oren Room," with bed. bedstead curtains and furniture, chairs with cane bot toms, stool chairs, a two-armed chair, mall tobies a fender, shovel and tongs. This, together with "flower pieces and old pictures," was prob ably typical of the furnishings of a bedroom In the early eighteenth century. The "Red Room" is dis missed with one line, "the whole fur niture." In the "White Room' were: Bed bedstead, mattress and furniture, bed bedstead and furniture, close stool, chair pan and little table, and chimney furniture. The dressing room, it seems, was a catch-all for household gcods. It held r. large walnut "linnen" press, with drawers, a chest of drawers, old chairs ?.nd a small table, chimney furniture, bed and furniture, sheets and "pillow" cases, towels, table cloths and napkins, "most of these old and tore." . London was (Virginia roads con sidered) the nearest pert for many of these estates, and European infiu ence still shows. It is evident in the architecture of Startford Hall, which resembles a medival castle. The great hall, with its guns and armor and its split shutters where a gun might be poked at an hostile Indian, is furnished with couches, chairs, chandeliers, walnut tables and books. English influence is obvious. The contact with England is again manifest in the library, with chairs. chimney furniture, scrutors, guns and iron rod. sword, bed and furniture It is interesting that books and liquor called for the heaviest expenditures In showing a copy of this extraor dinary find. Miss Armes said: "The library of Stratford was the third in importance in the colony. In the mat ter of the classics it was said to be unexcelled in the colonies. Gov. Harry Byrd's ancestors had the Wormley's was second, and Stratford third. Startford library was rich in philosophies, essays, poetry and ancient classics, and became the source of education for the six pa- triot sons of Thomas Lee. Among these were Richard Henry Lee Francis Lightfoot Lee and Arthur Westmoreland County "Mention of 'The Smith's Shop.
