There has been much complaint in
Nebra.-ka that poor flour was often the
product of what is acknowledged to be
the best wheat raised in the United
States, and the qury was how to reme
dy it. Clinton & Crable, of the Weep
ing Water Mills, have discovered tho art
and they are now manufacturing flour
that is equal, if not superior, to any
made in the west. They are manufac
turing flour from winter wheat that fully
equa'3 any St. Louis brand we ever tast
ed. They also furnish an article of
buckwheat flour that takes jou away
back to 3-our boyhood days, wh'en "buck
wheats and honey" were made to suffer.
A. II. & G, Buck arc the agents in this
city for the sale of these superior brands
and we advise every person who wants a
genuine article of buckwheat flour or
Nebraska winter wheat flour to call on
them at once. While we are treating of
a floury subject, our language is not
flowery, but the unvarnished truth.

have resulted in fine speculations or. at

Plattsmouth is becomiug as uoced a

Mississippi river, and is, without doubt
the greatest grain market wot of the
Mis-ouri. Our grain dealers are branch

well known fifty and seventy-five miles
from Plattsmouth as on our ow n streets.
Jos. A. Connor, of this city, is, proba
ably, doing the heaviest grain business of

e nave, lor tne past seven years,
been constantly hanimeiing away to in
duce some of our citizens to embark in
some branch of manufacturing. "We
have written column after column to
show that it would pay both the indi
viduals who took hold of it and the
town and surrounding country that en
couraged it, and yet it seems that those
men who have sufficient means to em
bark in this kind of business successfully,
are, very many of them, apparently con
tent to sit down and hold on to the dol
lar they have, without the ambition to
branch cut in business that would en
rich themselves and assist the general
prosperity. This state of facts makes
us reluctant to continue to show the ad
vantages of manufactures and orge men
to embark therein, yet we cannot allow
the present opportunity to pass without
making another effort, in the hopethat
it will meet the eye of some man, either
at home or abroad, who has the means
and the ambition to branch out. Wc
desire to call especial attention to a &ub
ject which has been often mentioned
through these colums, that of manu
facturing fire-brick, crockery ware and
fire proof paint from the clay found at
Capt. Hoover's place, sixteen miles west
from this city, on the B. & 5L" Railroad.
This clay ha3 been tested and found ta
be superior to any clay found in the
United States, and fully equal to uy in
the world. Samples were tested in the
smelting works at Omaha, where itstood
an equal heat with the bast English fire
bricks, and a far greater heat than any
American firc-Lriekf. The English fire
brick are worth 300 per thousand, and
jhe very cheapest American fire-brick
are sold at $70 to 00 per thousand, and
the nearest point at which they can be
obtained here is at St. Louis. There is
an unlimited supply of this cLy at Capt.
Hoover's which can be transported ti
this city for manufacture at a very small
expense. Satisfactory arrangements can
be made with Capt. Hoover in fact he
will take an interest in the manufacture,
thus showing his faith in the enter; .ii-e.
Aside from tho transportation (which
will not be a very expensive item) the
c et of manufacturing (Ire-brick from
this clay will not be ver3r much more
than to manufacture ordinary brick,
while tho price at which they are sold
would be at least ten times greater.
There is no question in regard to the
profit to bo derived from the manufac
ture of tliis clay into fire brick, but the
only question is who has sufficient ener
gy to take hold of it. Capt. Hoover of
ers to send a car load of the clay to Platts
mouth, at hi; own expense, to any per
son who will manufacture it and burn
it, and thus test, by actual experiment,
its value. It will also make a most ex
cellent quality of pottery ware, as well
as a superior article of fire proof paint.
An establishment for the production of
these three articles could not fail to do a
heavy business. Let some man take hold
of the work call on Capt. Hoover, fig
ure on it, and sati.-fy himself whether
or no we are correct. It is a fact whijh
the people of this city should heed, that
-v 1 1
Umatia enterprise is already rescuing
out for this source of wealth, and it may
transpire that a business which legiti
mately belongs to Cass county will be
diverted to the building up and enrich
ing of our neighbor. Will some of our
monied men take sufficient interest in
this matter to find a man or company of
men lo open a manufactory in this place,
if they have not the inclination to do so
themselves?

4:30 Tiie meeting was adjourned un
til the following morning.
This being lh first day cf the Insti
tute, the weatlur fa ing unfavorable, the
meeting was ouite well attended. The
teachers
formalit3r
readily took part ; very little
existed. To those prc-cnt it
was of interest, nnJ we doubt not that
each gaine 1 some new thoughts and as
sistaucc iu the work of teaching.
A XpW I'astilon (or AtlUresslnz i.ct-
tern.
Very few persons know how to sub
scribe an envelope. A farce proportion
oj" the letters that get in the postoffii-c
a;e so directed that it is with great diffi
culty that they i each their destination.
The first thing the clerk seeks to know
is what State tho letter is bound for;
next, what person. So the f isluon of
addressing is changing, and the style
now coming into vogues for its simplicity
and correctness, is the loliowing:
: Chicago,
ILLINOIS,
JOHN FKTERSON.
It is not necessary in all cases to send
the letter to John Peterson, or even to
Chicago; the only imperative rule bem:
to set tho town, whatever it is, first ; the
Mate next ; and the name or box last.
Reader, henceforth this is to be the fash
ion of letter superscription ; let us seo
that ail conform to it. L htcatjo 1'ost.
