fortably located in the rocker, smok
ing my pipe, reading the evening
news all of a sudden there was quite
a commotion on the porch and it con
tinued clear against the door. Then
I went to the door to investigate as
to the intrusion. And there to my
surprise was a bunch of Nebraska
City friends, consisting of Roy Has
kins and wife. Miss Ada Chandler
and mother and a neighbor friend
of theirs which were invited into the
home of D. Lynn and wife and R.
E. Hastings. After all were comfort
ably seated conversation started
about the early settlement of Nebras
ka City as some of the parties were
born and raised there and I myself
first landed there from a river steam
er seventy-one years ago. From one
subject to another was continued un
til finally one of the party looked at
the clock and said if we hear the
clock strike twelve at home we must
crank up the car and start. At this
a general movement at once developed
and all were gone. We can say thank
you for the visit and welcome any
time hereafter. Respectfully D. Lynn
and wife and R. E. Hastings, Union,
