A Salisbury Dentist, la Ilocli wootl Untitling. A Few Plattsmouth Pointers. Notwithstanding the complaints which were made during tlic huiiiiikt and uro still quite frequently heard, of hard luck m account of tho scarcity of money, I'latlsmo'ith has witnessed a healthful and substantial growth, and considerable general improvement, during the past year. We have not parsed over '1 lie city and counted the new buildings etc.. one by one, but wc " have been here and there enough to .see and appre ciate the iiiility and number of build ings which have been built and are at present under process of construction, ami we are thoroughly satisfied that no city in the state has taken a greater step in th'j pa.-1 twelve months than l'l&tts motith. An excellent system (and when we say excellent we mean it) of water works has been completed and in opera tion for six months, affording good lire protection to the city, especially to the most valuable part, and in the sum mer blesses the residents with the power to have green lawns and dust-ridden streets. The street railway now being con structed, is and will bo si valuable con venience to everybody. Two miles of the track are now complete and cars arc in operation and spin along at regular intervals. The track now extends from tin heart of the city to the fairgrounds and cemetery and joins Plattsmoth with her suburban sister, Mercerville. "When complete the railway line will have floss communication with the principal parts of the city, extending along the avenues and Main street, and to the depot, and this will add greatly to the air of business and prosperity which is settling down over Plattsmouth. Among the residence property a large number of beautiful and substantial houses have been erected during the summer. They are not the lustily built houses which characterized Plattsmouth when she was but a few years old, but they are substantial and warm, being built with large airy rooms an I warm walls, after the latest styles and best pat tern". Hut few of them are what could be termed "elegant residences," but they are well made and indicative of comfort and ease and have a warm hospitable appearance, (juitc a number of cozy dwelling houses have been built by the laboring men for themselves, and the oc cupation of all the new buildings iis soon as complete is positive evidence of the, increasing population which is noth ing small. In the business blocks, only one of first-class dimensions has been erected, but substantial additions have been m ide to those standing and a few minor buildings have been erected, but it is a creditable fact that every store room and office "in. the city is occupied, and in some cases crowded, but cupid shoots his arrow of prediction into the open business lot and whispers, "Next year it shall be hid from the sun." And the season just passing, with the present con dition of things, points to a coming season of progress, of which the present is but an announcement. And the establishing of the Daily II::n ai.d is an event which is also chronich.el with the advance of the past year. As a security for the retaining of what our city has already attained in population and prosperity, Plattsmouth is the county seat, she has the 1). & M. shops, the water works, the brick and tile works, which is a grand affair; the gas works, the street railwa a pack ing house, of small porportions which has just been started, two daily papers. tw) large canning factories, and variou? other small manufacturing and contract ing linns. Property has, in the 1 .st two years grcatl- increased in value oyer the en tire city, and in some cases doubled, but in no case has the value been questioned and it is steadily rising, though no great boom is in progress the change of hands of real estate is quite lively. The building season will open next .spring with the laying of a 30.000 sys tem of sewerage and the paving of Main street, which will undoubtedly be fol lowed by the erection of several large business blocks, and it is said a new and first-class depot is on the programme, while gossip has it that springtime will bring with it a new railroad to run from Plattsmouth north to Omaha and south to conned with the M. P. so as to giye intercourse, by rail with Nebraska City and the southwest. " Wc might still continue in this line to set forth Pla'tsmoutL's prosperity and an ticipations, but time forbids, and our re gard for the welfare of the reading j-'ib- lic tells us it id time to branch off to something else ami leave something to another day. Dut Plattsmouth will un doubtedly m ike her mark among the first c'tirs of Nebraska, and prove a lo cating poi.it for various enterprises, ns she offers handsome inducements and fa ilities to all manufacturing enterprises. THC THANKS OF A NATION. The Prosidont's Annual Thanks giving Proclamation. Washing vox. Oct. 25. President Cleveland to-day issued the following thanksgiving proclamation: The goodness and the mercy of Cod which have followed the American peo ple during all the events of the pa-t year mouth, and did so without even tying his hands or feet, and all the way here he fought and barked and bit himself, and Mr. IJoedekcr had n great effort to keep from being bit himself and to hold the man, but he succeeded, and alone, for all tiie men in the car crowded off to the other end like a set of cowards. At the depot, Mr. Ho-deker succeeded in claim tiieir grateful recognition and SrttiuS j'mie into the depot and here humble acknowledgment. Ily His om nipotent power he has protected us from every national calamity; by His gracious favor tiie earth has yielded u generous return to the labor of the husbandman and every path of honest toil has led to comfort and contentment; b' His loving kindness the hearts of our peopl : have been replenished with fraternal sentime nt and patriotic endeavor, and by His un erring guidance we have been directed in the way of national prosperity. To the end that we may with one ac cord testify our gratitude for all there blessings, I, Grovcr Cleveland, president of the United States, do hereby ele.-ignate and set apart Thursday, the 21th day of November next, as a day of thank --giving mi 1 pi aver, to be observed by all the peopl-; of the land. On that day let all secular work and employment b.j sus pended, and let our people assemble in their accustomed places of wort-hip and with prayer and songs of praise give thanks to our Heavenly Father for all that he has done for us; while wc humbly implore forgiveness of our sins and a continuance of His mere'. Let families and kindred be reunited on that dy and let their hearts be tilled with kindly ( beer and affectionate reminiscences and be turned in thankfulness to the sou ice of all their i i inures and the giver of all that makes ih day glad and joyous; and in the niiu-t of our worship and our hap piness hi us remember the poor, the needy and the u.il'ortnr.ate, and by our gills of charity and ready benevolence, let us in crease th;j number of those who with grateful hearts shall join in our thanksgiving. he began to cry.
