charge of the store. lie has already
moved to Alvo and gotten settled.
which cets that much of the work
out of the way.

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

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

meeting, looking towards the year's
work as well as at the same time en
joying the gathering together and

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

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

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.

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.

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
