Rock Bluffs.
Rock Bluffs, April 2tMH, 1S01.
Your corresi)ondent visited the
antiquated village of Rock Blulft-
and found a number of readers of
THE HE KALI). We say antiquated,
not out of derision, but because it
is one of the oldest landmarks of
Nebraska, Having been an impor
tant town in the territorial days.
lint little remains of this once
sprightly little village to indicate
the importance of its former self,
yet there is some business carried
Sliera is the pioneer mer
chant of the place. He begun busi
ness in the identical building he
now occupies twentj'-six years ag'o.
He is now doing a good business,
carrying a large and complete
stock of general merchandise, and
s He pays no rent or clerk Hire He
Sis able to duplicate Plattsmouth
prices. Mr. Shera shows His appre
ciation of The llKKALi) by continu
'g His patronage year after jear.
The spiritual welfare of the peo
ple is caret 1 for by Rev. Nichols,
pastor of the M. K. church at this
place and LTnion. Taking it all in
all the people here are of a con
tented mind, and seem to liveeasily
and undisturbed by anything.
THE HERALD is read of course liy
all and they are consequently
posted on the current events of the
day.
George Churchill keeps a grocery
store, and though of not large pro
portions is doing a satisfactory
trade.
Dr. Rey-nold's looks after the phys
ical maladies of the people, and
eleven years' practice Has estab
lished him in the confidence of the
people.
The mental training of the y outh
is under the direction of Professor
Knott, who is an excellent teacher
and has the school in good work
ing order.
Fred Patterson is the post master
and runs a grocery store in connec
tion. Fred is an old settler, Having
grown from boyhood days here, and

At Murray.
Murray, Meb., April 30, 1891
Leaving Rock Bluffs, we called on
a number of the prosperous farm
ers along the route to the rising
young town of Murray. On reach
ing this new place, situated equi
distant from Plattsmouth and
Union, on the Union cut-off, we
were surprised to lind it of such
proportions having grown to
quite a business little city in so
short a time. Nearly all the differ
ent lines of business are represented
by capable, enterprising men.
John Long keeps the only place
of amusement in the way of a tem
perance billiard Hall.
Dick- Oldham is the man with
razor in hand who is ever ready to
clip the men's rough beards or
hair.
Chas. Conally is at his anvil
early and late and reports business
very satisfactory in the blacksmith
ing line.
YV. II. loughridge is tne pioneer
blacksmith and machinist, and is
assisted by W. J. Holmes who does
fche wagon making and wood re
pairing. Messrs. Walker & Pittman are the
grain buyers and have a very com
modious elevator, which is groaning
under its load of grain, awaiting
the advent of the trains to ship
out on.
The carpenter work of the village
is performed by J. W. Berger and
Mode & Gray. Mr. Berger is just
completing Himself a fine residence
that would do credit to a much
larger town.
K7 A. Burton is the genial Hard
ware man and greets the stranger
and everybody else with a word of
welcome, and is doing a good busi
ness in his line. We are satisfied
that Murray has a first class busi
ness man in Mr. Burton.
The last but by no means the
least important factor in the make
up of the town is the Murray Ban
ner, the initial numberof which will
appear this week edited and pub
lished by J. A. Basom. Mr. Basom
is an experienced newspaper man
of more thau ordinary culture and
will, we feel safe in saying, give the
Mnrmv neonle and Cass county a:
journal well worthy their patron-
age. '

Baxter & Dawson keep the other
general storeand are doing a very
satisfactory business. The gentle
men have been in business here
only since last September, but their
genteel and accommodating man
ner is fastwiuiiingjthem friends and
custom.
Messrs Root & Fauglit are the
lumber dealer.-", and have done a
business far exceeding their expec
tations when they opened up last
September. They have a splendid
stock of lumber and other building
materials found in a first class
lumber yard, and by their square
dealing they are last building up a
trade It) be envied ly dealers in
lai ger cities.
Ktlmuiitls it Root are the pioneer
merchants and carry everj-thinr
that goes to make up a lirst class
general store. Mr. Kdmunds of this
lirm is the postmaster, and Mr.
Root, the other member of the firm,
is commissioned a notary public,
and is qualified to draw anything
in the way of a legal document that
may be needed.
The physical ailments of the peo
ple are looked after by Dr. B. F
Brendel, who is a graduate of the
Indiana Medical College, of the ses
sion of 1SSIJ.
The doctor is well established in
the confidence of the people as a
first class physician, and has a wide
lield of practice.
Murray is bound to forge to the
front as a trading point. Among
the needs of the town the most
pressing one seems to be a board
ing house and a bank which will
come ere long.
Union.
UXIOX, XER, May 1, 1S91.
Concluding our interview of the
Murray people, all of whom were
courteous without stint, we wended
our way to the fine farm of Father
Thomas Rankin, one mile west of
Murray, where we were agreeably'
welcomed. Mr. Rankin resides on a
farm of four hundred acres of as
fine land as lies out of doors, and
all the surroundings are indicative
of comfort and prosperity. Mr.
Rankin is in His eighty-seventh
year, but enjoys good Health and is
active as many are at forty, and en
joys the companionship of his es
timable wife, to whom he was wed
ded fiftr years ago. This aged
couple are comforted by- the resi
dence of their son Joseph and his
estimable young wife with them.
After a business call upon several
of the prosperous farmers in the
vicinity of Murray, we directed our
course to the bustling, busy little
village of Union and arrived in
time to interview a number of the
HERALD readers, and were kindly
entertained by the Ledger family.
We found Union taking on new
life by reason of the Union cut-off
from that point to Plattsmouth.
The work of track laying is to begin
at once, fourteen cars of steel rails
arriving last evening.
Union has four general stores, all
doing a flourishing business under
the management ot j. A. Kose &
Co., R. H. Frans & Co., F. M. Ams-
berry, John Martin cc Co.
These firms all carry full and
complete stocks that would do
credit to much more pretentious
cities.
The furniture emporium is under
the management ot F. P. lenny,
and many of the larger towns can
not boast of furniture stores to
equal in quantity and quality of
stock carried by tins establishment.
The business of the firm is highly-
satisfactory, as indeed is that of
all the business represented in the
town.
For want of time and space we
must forego special mention of
all the business enterprises of this
live little city, but there is evidence
of push and prosperity on every
Hand, and she is just in the act of
taking on metropolitan airs by do
ing the act of incorporation, which
is a step forward that her enterpris
ing citizens will never regret.
We must not neglect to mention
that Union supports one of the
brightest and newsiest newspa
pers -The Ledger in the county,
edited and published by Messrs.
Graves ct Padgett, and the people
show their appreciation of the
paper by a loyal and hearty sup
port, both in the way of advertising
and subscription. There is no bet
ter index to the prosperity of a
town than a hearty support of its
newspapers oj

We regret that time forbids men

Nehawka.
XehaWKA. May 2, 1891.
Concluding a very satisfactory
business interview with the Union
people, your correspondent drew up
lines at the Factoryville Mills, one
anil a Halt miles west or union.
Factoryville is one of the old Ne
braska landmarks and flourished as
an important inland village till the
construction of the Lincoln branch
of the Missouri Pacific. R. R. to Ne
braska City a little more than three
years ago, when Union absorbed all
the business of the place except the
milling interests. Here is located
one ot tne nest it lnoeea not the
hest -mill properties Cass county
affords, and is owned and operated
liv the genial miller, 1. M. arne,
whose name on a flour sack
is the best guarantee of the
superior quality of its contents that
the most fastidious Housewife
could desire, and the only difficulty
Mr. Warne has is to keep up with
his multiplicity of orders. The
HERALD gladdens the Hearts of the
Warne household every week, where
it will continue to carry the news in
the same satisfactory maiine: it has
during the past.
Continuing our journey up the
classic waters, of tlte "Mmneboohoo
we drew up at nightfall at Ne
hawka, a beautiful little village lo
cated on the Lincoln branch of the
M. P., in the west end of Liberty
precinct. Nature lias withheld
not her lavish hand in beau
tifying the spot upon which
stands this, one of the
best commercial points in
Cass county-, and a thrifty, ener
getic set of business men are
at the helm Here, which accounts
for the solidity- and volume of busi
ness carried on and for the substan
tial and permanent character of the
buildings of the town. This city
will go down in history as the point
attacked byr Colonels Kroehler, Liv
ingston, Shiiin and Dwyer in ante
court house days, with their valiant
band, for the recovery of the
famous cannon which their strong
hold had some 3'ears ago confis
cated from the Papillionites on the
Papio. It is said that the bravery
of these four colonels was undaunt
ed and unexcelled 011 any lield of
battle till thev were surprised and
captured and their captors
compelled them to realize
the contrast in color of the blackest
of tar and the whitest of feathers.
when the braves on bended knee
begged the mercy of the Nehawka- j
ites, and with many a gooil promise
to ever refrain from further maraud- J
mgs were permitted to meander
their way home to the ancient city
of Plattsmouth, clad iu the same
raiment hitherto worn by them in
stead or tne more attractive one
with which they were about to be
invested by their captors. These
have all been lived up to to the
greatest of nicety and now the col
onels with one accord vote the can
non the greatest evil of modern
times and declare arbitration their
policy instead of a resort to arms.
The following is a resume of the
business of this thriving little town:
F. P. Sheldon is the postmaster and
keeps a large general store. Mr.
Sheldon carries a heavy stock, far
in excess of most stores kept in a
town of the size of Nehawka. but by
his superior business methods his
trade justifies his heavy investment
in stock.
The same that is said of Mr. Shel
don is equally applicable to the
other merchant, Mr. Baier, who
keeps anything from a cambric
needle up to a set of harness. Mr.
Baier is doing an excellent business
and is a valuable business man for
the town. The Nehawka Bank is a
valuable adjunct to the. business of
tne town and is presided over 111
an efficient manner by the genial
casmer, V. c west. i'lr. uestisa
favorite in the town, and justly so,
surah silks worth S.lc, selling for 58;
black rrorrain silk worth $1.10 sel

for he is a sociable, wide-awake,
young business man. The lumber
yard is kept by A. Sturm and is do
ing a good business.
Messrs. McBride and Palmer keep
a first class Hani ware store, and like
most or tne otner imsiness Houses o
f
the village carry stock far in excess
of stores usually found in towns of
this size. C. D. Mothersead isoneof
the brightest young druggists in
Cass count', and besides presiding
over a IresH, clean looking
drug store and doing an excellent
trade in his line he finds a spare
moment to entertain tne stranger
Henry Cropp Is the implement
dealer, and the busy farmer can al
ways find him at his post of duty,
anxious to sell liim anything from
an onion Hoe to a harvester. Mr.
Cropp Has the confidence of tin
people, which He Has won l lair
business methods.
1. 1-.. ua tinmg is ine veteran grain
dealer and prides Himself that he i:
located in the heart of the bestagri
cultural county in the state. Mr. IJ
is doing a good business, as is also
tne nrm 01 leisruie Ar 1 'aimer, man
agers of the other elevators. Th
town supports two good Hotels; on
the Nehawka House, is kept by W
I. Smoots. and the other, the G ruber
House, by Jacob Gruber. These
are both splendid hostleries
much better than are commouly
found 111 towns the size of Nehawka.
The tonsorial act is done by Henry
Lopp, and his shop would do credit
to a much larger city, but a good
run of custom justifies the excel
lence of the shop.
Miss Mate Newell is the milliner,
and judging from the extensive
stock she carries, is keeping up with
the procession of the other busi
ness houses of the town. She is
kept so busy at this season of the
year that she finds it necessary to
employ an assistant to wait on her
manj- lad- customers.
Miss Katie Warden is the dress
maker who linds constant einploy
nient in her line of work. Messrs.
Smoots A Soulier are proprietors of
the confectionery store which is
just being opened up.
I'eter Opp wields the cleaver
and a better steak or loin than he
cuts is not to be found in any sham
bles. K. K. Baldwin is the genial agent
and manipulates the telegraph
ticker.
Dr. Pollard responds to the call
of the afflicted and is a thorough
practitioner, besides having been a
knight of the quill. The doctor is a
pleasant gentleman and a valuable
citizen to Nehawka.
James Jamison is the knight of
the saw and hammer who is justly-
proud that his lot is cast among so
prosperous a people as those of the
village of Nehawka and vicinity.
The town is supplied with two
livery stables and they too seem
to be doing a satisfactory business.
1 he United Brethren is the only
Christain organization Here at pres
ent, and they have an elegant little
church building in which to wor
ship and hold Sunday echool. The
Methodist people contemplate the
erection of a church this season.
The most important industry' of
the town is the opening of exten
sive stone quarries by Omaha par- j
ties. They are building side tracks
into the quarries and are putting in
crushers, all of which give employ
ment to from fifty to sixty men. This
accounts in part for the extensive
business of the town. We predict a
bright future for Nehawka.

after
business matters in this village
Thursday.
The Ledger family enjo3 ed a visit
this week from a brother, Mr. A. J.
Graves ot Plattsmouth, who is look
ing after the interests of The Her
ald in this part of the count'.
A great many ot the men who
have been waiting here several
days to begin work Have be
come impatient and gone away,
but there are yet about one hundred
and fift' read- to report for duty at
a moment's notice.
Mr. John W. Nichols and family-
came down Ironi Plattsmouth on
Thursdaj'- for a few day s' visit with
relatives and friends in Union and
vicinity. John was injured by the
caving or a bank at Plattsmouth
a few days ago, and was forced to
take a few days off until he recovers
from the effects of the accident.
The construction train arrived
last night in charge of F)ngineer
Bruce Leming, and work will com
mence with a full force of track
layers Monday morning. At pres
ent all the side tracks are crowded
With cars loaded with ties and
steel, but it has been impossible to
unload them tor the reason that
the engine had not arrived to
switch thefvtf their proper places.
Supplies hJtve been coming in at
a rapid rate the past few daj-s, and
the "Y" looks like a small citj-, the
cars, stacks of material, tents, teams
and wagons giving it a very lively
appearance. Flighteen car loads of

Thursday evening, thirty more car
loads yesterday evening, and we
are informed .that by to-night 100
more cars of material will arrive.
