NEHAWKA.
The Infant Town on The M P. R-R.
TKIMMEK.
Nestled in the beautiful valley of the
Weeping Wa'tr twenty two miles south
west of Plattsmouth on the Main line of
y M. P. R. R. is the little burg of Ne
kwka, in the c-ente r of a country noted
for corn, tine blooded stoc k, well improv
ed farms, and as lio pitable und highly
cultured a class of people as any country
is hlessi- 1 with. Ne haw ka is a business
pi, leu of no little importance, her receipts
show up with many of her .sister towns
nnd would do credit to some that ure
much larger than herself. One has only
to visit this thriving little town to sec
the habit of industry.
The beautiful sloping hills decked
with line residences adds greatly to the
nppeurane of the country, ho much so
t hilt the people seem to he inspired with
a love of their country and take pride in
arranging their homes in the best possible
in inn r. The business men of N'hawka
are fully abreast with the times und have
mettle that counts in the uff.iirs of life.
There was no reception committee pre
pared to receive us, for they had no
winning of our coming, but we stole sil
ently into the little village an began our
labor. We found that the news of Tim
Trimmer's arrival had spread and it was
soon heralded irom house to house.
Owing to the busy day the crowd
could not come forth to welcome us. On
every hand was visible the fact that Ne
liawka was a live place, a every min
seemed to be too busy to ta'k a great
lenght of time.
Not long after arriving in the city we
called on Mr. Frank Sheldon, the pioneer
anerehant and one of the leading business
men of Nehawka. Mr. Sheldon erected
the Hist business building there last
March, sine.: then he has occupied it as a
general .store, and enjo3's a good trade.

the oldest and weabhirst citizens in the
county. Mr. Sheldon owns over r,000
He res of land in t'nis and Otoe counties.
To the north of town lays the fine farm
of the lion. S. M. Kirkpatrick. In fact,
the town :te is part of Mr. K "s farm
which, was eb:.i ited by that gentleman as
an inducement to locate the town there.
We feel under obligations to Mr. K.
for the kind assistance rendered in our
behalf. We took dinner at his pleasant
home, where we ci; joyed a good meal
and shall remember the courtesies shown
us. Mr. K. has one of the most com
,lete libraries in the county, and
collection of geologic 1 specimens which
he kindly showed us. Us has also large
parlors wh. re many evenings are spent by

When wo take into c emsideratiwu the
fact that Nehawka is a mcie infant, be

strides she has taken in the way of
progress.

The news Icu already reached the ears
of the majority of c itizens in this city
that Mr. John V Shannon has passed

We reported last Saturday that there

one of the oldest settlers of Plattsmouth,
having resided here for about thirty
years. At one time he w.u proprietor of
a large livery business here, and he has
gained for himself many friends in his
straightforward business t rans tctions and
by various marks of genenisity. It is
said that while he owned a hearse and a
livery business, that a poor family was
never charged for his services in any way
for funeral necessities.
The news of his death created much
sympathy among the old settlers and
many of the young ones, and his demise

think the Blue Bridge mountains in old
Delaware county look rougher than ever.
The Carroll's threshing machine has
been in the neghburhood the past week
threshing out the small grain. Nearly
everyone is much disappointed in the
yield of their grain. Four different
pieces of wheat were threshed out and
none of them yielded over 11 ye bushiles
to the acre. The o-ts yielded from four
teen to nineteen bushels to the acre.
This confirms the old adage that a far
mer is only sure of one thing, and that
is disappointment.
Mr. W. W. Graves, our road overseer,
has had the roads worked up in good
shape again. Tim Shaver.
Disappeared.
The relatives of Charles Collins, of
Plattsmouth, are very much concerned
over his disappearance. He has been
visiting his brother-in-law, L. C. Irvin,
2710 Seward street, and Sunday evening
about U o'clock he started to call on ihe
finuiiy of George Tutbury, living at 1:300

Cass County Fair.
Our fair occurs on Sept. 18th to 21st,
1888. This is the 22nl annual fair of
the Cass County Agricultural Society,
and from the present indications will be
the best nnd the largest attended fair
ever held in the county.
A few men c omposing the Cass County
Driving Park Association, with A. U.
Todd, Pres., II. C. Ritchie, Sec'y., and
P.. P.. Windham, Trens., purchased thirty
six acres of ground south of the city and
fitted up one of the finest tracks to be
found in tht! state; aud leased the same
to the agricultural society for ten years
at the nominal sum of $1.00 per year.
These men have done this as citizens
of Plattsmouth and vicinity, simply for
the benefit of the agricultural society,
and for tin purpose of increasing the in
terest of all lovers of horses and display
of products raised in our county. But
our citizens who have not contributed to
this most commendable enterprise should
take an active part in the coining fair,
make a display of their merchandise on
the grounds; and by word, act and ed,do
all in thr;ir power to help. Every citizen
of Plattsmouth is deeply interested, and
the word should go all along the line.
"Whoop her up."
Let our business men close up their
stores on Thursday and Friday afternoon,
Sept. 20th and 2lst, the big days of the
fair week and give the fair managers two
of the best days held at a (-'ass county
fair.
school c hii.dhkn's day.
Wednesday Sept. ltllh, will be school
children's day, and all school children of
Cas county will be admitted free. This
is one of the annual picnics always of
fered by the society to the little folks,
and one that they always appreciate per
haps better than the older members of
the family. Arrangements will be mr-.de
with the school board to let the children
attend on that day.
The new art hall, built jointly by
the society and some of our business
men, is a handsome structure and is an
ornament to our grounds and city; it is
now being finished up and will be im
mediately painted by O. P. Smith it Co.
The lumber was furnished by Bichey
Bros. ; the hardware by Johnson " Bros. ;
and the work has Wen done under the
supervision of contractor W. II. Pickens.
The speed ring will be lull to ovei
flowirigand the coming fair will witness
some of the best races ever seen in Cass
county.
