Messrs. Streight & Miller wish to
call the attention of their customers
to the fact that it is customary to close
up accounts at the commencement of
the vear. As they are expected to pay
their biils it follows that they must
have funds to pay with. They would
therefore notify their customers who
have been accommodated to harness
and other goods, that they will be ex
pected to call and settle their acccounts
at their earliest convenience. Their
stock of harness and other goods in
that line is compu te, ;m l all wanting
anything in their line will find it to
their advantage to give them a call. A

Our Postmistress was sitting at her
window the other day, waiting for the
Captain to come home from a game of
"high jinks" at Lincoln, when a tall,
red haired fellow just off the train
stepped up with the rest lo ask for mail.
They were all in a hurry, but the tall
chap seemed in the biggest haste, and
said :
'Anything for Louder?"
The Postmistress had just turned her
head to tell K. T,. (who has lately enter
ed the mail service) how to clean the
lamr s, and didn't hear the name, so
turning back she said:
"Any tiling for who?"
"Louder!" said the tall fellw.
liaising her voice to accommodate
the gentleman she shouted "For
who?"
"Louder" came the answer back
from outside the box.
The people began to get uneasy, and
the P. M. not liking the situation, call
ed K. I,, to come to the window. He
came and thought he'd make short work
of it, so he shouted in a treble basso
profundo "What do you want here,
anyhow?"
In a mild and placid voice the stran
ger said: "I only wanted lo know if
thero were some letters here for Mr.
Louder. I wasn't awaro sir that the
pople were all hard of hearing in this
town excuse me."
Mr. Louder's letters wcropasstd out
and peace reigned at the P. O.

Quite a large Land Slide took place
near Child's mill, on the 1. & M., on
Thursday last, just after the passenger
train to Omaha had passed. The down
train in the evening was delayed until
after midnight.
Weekbaeh has just got the sidewalk j
crammed with goods and boxes of new j
goods, tnkes four boys and the Marshal
to keep the street clear so as to roll I
them into the store fast enough. And i
then the crowd rush in to see what lie j
has, and fairly jam up the spacu be- j
tween tho counters inside.
And now A. Drew, drew out and our
old friend FJi Plummer takes "holt" of
t!ie old stand onca more, and proposes
to make tilings hum this summer, hop
pers or no hoppers; so wags the world.
One goes out and the other comes in
and yet the people laugh and say w here

says, come and see, that's the way to

It's fun to see Flam Pavnifle trade
horses, and Flam trades most every
day. riie Herald used to know two
men who traded orses a great deal.
One always ran down the horses he
was trading for and praised up his
own; the other man seldom said any
thing, let tin; other fellow run his horse
down all lie pleased, often joined in in
a quiet way. but slyly an 1 gradually
let all the good points of the horse he
wanted to dispose of be seen, and nev
er by anv means intimated that he had
any donb's of the other man's veracity,
but said "yes, yes," to any and all im
probabilities ho might tell about hi3
horses.
Well, Elam is a kind of a cross be
tween the two especially when it
comes to trading ponies.

Lite spring goods.
This firm is too well known, and Mr.
Schnasse's ability as a buyer add mer
chant generally is realized so fully by
the community that there is no need
of their publishing an extended price
list, which seldom gives the real prices,
but they defy any fair and regular
competition.
Their new stock is very extensive,
covering every variety and style of
goods needed by the farmer, mechanic
and purchaser. They are bound to
sell them as cheap as any firm in town,
and only ask their old patrons and all
new ones to call aud examine and price
their goods carefully before purchas
ing elsewhere. Now is the time to buy
while things are fresh, new and extra
low in price.

Boschee's German Syrep can now
be purchased right at home, it is the
most successful preparation ever in
troduced to our people. It works like
a charm in all cases of corumption,
Pneumonia, Hemorrhages, Asthma,
severe coughs, Croup and other throat
aud Lung diseases. No person has ev
er used this medicine without immed
iate relief, yet there are a great many
poor, suffering, skeptical persons going
about our streets with a suspicious
cough, and the voice of consumption
coming from their lungs, that will not
try it. If you die it is yur own fault,
as you can go to your Druggists in
Plattsmouth and get a Sample Bottle for
10 cents and try it; three doses will
relieve any case. Regular size only 75
cents. 50-tf.
