tlC"Excellent. Plattsmouth has the main
lines of the C. B. & Q- and the C. & M.
railroads with practically outlets to all
points of both systems. I don't know of
an internal city in Nebraska that pos
sesses quite so desirable advantages for
reaching all points of the compass by rail,
withouf being handicapped by contigu
ous little stations as are the cities imme
diately situated on trunk lines."
"What is Jhc character of her towns
men?"
They'tr the right sort. Plattsmouth
is fortunate. They've got push vim and
enterprise; they've got hospitality and
kindliness; they er not afraid to launch
their dollai a when either individual cn
terprise, or the good of the" community is
concerned. The smell of new lumber
and the aroma of green paint that fills
the atmosphere during the building sea
son speaks volums for the faitli the busi
ness men have in the luiure or tneir
town."
"And society, religion, educational la-
cilties? I "
"As I said, the people arc intelligent
and moral; that means schools anil church
organizations. They've got as fine a
school building as yon will find in many
a day, and church edificies that will
compare with any in the state. There
are also a number ot flourishing secret
orders."
"lias the town a boom it"
"Not in the ordinary aeccption of the
term; there is a stir there, but no ficti
tious, artificial "boom." The town is not
ancient as among railroad towns, and is
naturally located just where a consider
able business point is needed, the country
is tilling up with an enterprising class of
people, and as a result, there is consider
able building, llonettly, I do not know
of a more promising place for a young
man like you, Chaile, possessed of mod
erate means, and an ambition to find
wealth, health and happiness all in one,
The town is young, healthy vigoious and
haa a grand future.".
"Well.- we'U go,-' was Charles' la
conic answer, having received a vigorous
affirmative nod from Meg in response to
a look of inquiry.

"We've lots to VsO and" "Then let's

turning a hair. The old man groaned.
"Take us to It. B. Windham's Heal Es

noted land eschars-si, "has 'heard of the

Plainfolks Charles contracted with the
Watermans to keep him supplied with

"Vow for furniture." saiel Mr. Plain-

a bewildering display ot" everything in
the furniture line, that Meg was rcany

marycls of kitchen apparatus. There is
not an establishment in the west thai
carries a merc comprehensive stock of
household furnishings. Every possible

Charles also left a large order for build

to linel that she could get a "Household"

Something about Meg's pretty appear-

toward E. G. Dovey & fton s. "1 don t
know whether they have anything we

a sly glance at Meg, "but I'll leave it to
your ingenuity to eliscover if they have."

than this ',X"' v.ara'm house. It" is lit

was visited of course and a pleasant chat
indulged in. The young couple was
well please-d with the neatness and com

be profitable customers.

suddenly declared Meg, and str ight way

said PlainTolks, "in the town." The old
man's statement was verified, as Meg
afterwards declared. Not only a bible,
and a hanelsomc album did Meg receive
here, but a big order for fine pictures ami
house decorations was made as well.

Plainfolks gave at. order for one of the
finest styles.
As they walked up the street, railing
at Meg a little about the extent of her
wants. Plainfolks suddenly made a dive
into a hanilsome store room, and called
to the others to follow. "Here's Will J.

TORNADO POLICIES.
The present year bids fair to be a dis
astrous one from tornadoes snd wind
storms. This is fore-shaelowed by tne
number of storms we haye already had
the most destructive one so far this year
having occurred at Mt. Vernon, 111.,
where a large number of buildings were
destroyed or damaged. The exemption
from tornadoes last year renders their oc
currence more probable in 1&S8.
