Beside? filling this important place in the village business directory Mr. Opp is also the jeweler and watch maker. He is just la3'ing the foundation for a new building in which to prose cute his business which, to say the least, would indicate a successful business career for him since locat ing at Avoca.

Mr. Tefft is justl3r en titled to the rank of pioneer, having settled in Cass county in the 3'ear 18.17. The town is supplied with two general stores by B. C. Marquardt & Co. and Messrs. Lindeman & Busching. Both these firms carr3' exceptional!' heavy stocks of gen eral merchandise and enjoy a lu crative trade which they have won b- fair square business methods unexcelled by any other business houses in the county. Messrs. Graham & Wilkinson are the hardware and furniture dealers and carry such complete stocks in both lines of their business that no customer is ever compelled to look elsewhere for the article he may de sire. They are pleasant gentlemen outs for a town of no greater pre tentions than the city of his choice. Messrs. Pecham & Sriver are the contractors and builders of the town, and like their fellow towns men are prospering in the pursuit of the occupation of their adoption. The physical maladies of the peo ple are healed by Dr. Brendel, who is well recommended as a prac titioner. The Congregationalists have a neat little church here and main tain regular worship, so that the moral interests of the people are not wholly neglected. The town can boast of a large two story school building, which is at once the pride of the place, and which would indicate that Avoca is with the procession in educational matters. At the present time a school of two departments is in ses sion and is well attended. Messrs. Hageman & Co. erected as fine a little milling property here The position given to Tom Cooke is that of messenger clerk to the governor, a position held during Boyd's administration by Harry Chaffee, a boy of eighteen. Mr. Cooke's laborious duties are to see that all letters are filed alphabetic ally and to deliver packages to the express office. Tom promises to ride in a hack when he performs the latter work, or hire a messenger boy. Omaha Bee. Among the gentlemen of our cit attending the funeral of William II. Anderson at Glenwood to-day were Judge Chapman and John D. Tutt. Judge Chapman remarked that of the early citizens of Plattsmouth who belonged to Mr. Anderson's set, who boarded and messed with him during his pioneer bachelor days in Plattsmouth, there were but four left, himself and John Tutt. still in Plattsmouth, FIi Plummer, the wholesale merchant of Lincoln, and Capt. J. W. Marshall of Lower California. Wedding Bells. They rang right merrily morning at S.30 for the future piness of R. J. Franklin and Annie Livingston, who were united in matrimonial bonds at that hour at the home of the brides' mother in this city by Rev. Burgess, in his pleasant but impressive manner. The wedding was a very quiet one, only the members of the family being present. The bride is the well known daughter of Mrs. Dr. Livingston and the groom is the popular agent of the U. S. Wind ICngine and Pump Co., with headquarters in Denver, where the happy couple will reside. The bridal party boarded the train for Omaha this morning, 'midst a shower of rice, and the con gratulations of a host of warm per sonal friends of the bride, who had gathered at the depot to have a parting word and extend heartfelt wishes for future happiness. THE IIekalu trusts their lives will always be as peaceful and pleasant as the bright, sunshiny May morn ing that saw them wedded. The Lincoln correspondent of the Bee, tries to make out that F S. White did not understand his bus iness as 011 inspector ana a man had to be sent here to to do his work. The statement is untrue and does Mr. White an injustice. The fact of the matter was Mr. White, had been sick and could not go to Omaha for his apparatus. A car of oil came in and he telephoned to Heimrod to send him the testing tools at once or send a man to do the work, a dep uty came down and did the work and thats all thejje is to the story.
