CITY CORDIALS. The firemen will leave for Nebraska City tomorrow morning on tbc $:4 train and return the following morning, the train leaving Nebraska City at 4:150. The agitators for the proposed new building on the fair grounds have been very successful with their subscription paper, having secured the required amount to put up the building. The school board was ready to re ceive bids for the building of the South Park school house last night, but as only one was sent in, the time for receiving all bids was extended until the 3rd. A. motion was made last night at the meeting of the school board to open the schools on the 10th of Sept., but upon due consideration the motion was lost and the schools will not open until the 17th. llobt. Metecr, of Eight Mile Grove, leaves Hue week for an extended visit ' through New York, Pennsylvania and the east. The IIekald expects some in terest! ngletters from him during his so journ. The 1)311 club of this city has made arrangements to play a game with the Wahoo team on the 18th of next month, the first dav of the fair. The club has gained for itself a wide reputation and it is expected the home team will have to work or go down in their pockets. One of the oldest settlers in this part of the country is Stephen Wiles, who has lived on his present place twomiles south west of here, oyer 33 years. Sir. "Wiles, when he landed here, had only $12, but by diligent endeavors, has acquired a good fortune. It takes Uncle Steph to tell wolf stories and how to catch them too. Considerable excitement was created last night, by the report that Mr. Joseph Kelly had dropped dead, heart disease being given as the cause. The majority of people in the business portion of the town heard the report before it was contra dicted. Mr. Kelly has been sick for some time. It has not been learned how the report orginated. Tomorrow is the day of the great celebration of the Nebraska City pontoon bridge and other improvements recently made there. The firemen f this city re ceived an invitation to participate in the festivities of the day. They have ac cepted the invitation and they will be accompanied by a large number of the citizens from here. The Beatrice base ball club is anxious to meet the Plattsmouth team. They are possessed of enough assurance to back themselves up with $100. Last night Mr. Jas. Patterson received a letter from their manager stating that they wished to play for that amount. We learned that they are to be accommodated and the date lias been set for September 7th. The school board met last night and made a selection of two teachers from five applicants, to fill the remaining vacancies. We congratulate the board on the selection, as both young ladies have attained a first-class reputation as teachers, and they are both favorably known here and elsewhere. Miss Millie Bell, of Ashland, and Miss Riddle, of Wahoo, are the oues selected for the positions. The watermelon social given by the Y. L. R. R. A. at Rockwood hall last night attracted quite a large crowd. A large pile of watermelons was put aside in one corner of the hall in the early part of the evening for future use. As the crowd increased, the watermelon pile grew email rapidly, and one would think, if they were not acquainted with the cir cumstances, and saw the large prize water melon in the centre of the room, that the person swallowing the most melon could secure the prize, the contest to be decid cd by the scales. The crowd worked away incessantly at the pile until it had been reduced to about two or three, and the vehicle which had been used to carry the melons to the hall, would have served as a great convenience to some of the big caters who had tried to carry away too much of the pile. The large watermelon which was located in the centre of the room had been set up as a prize to the best guesser of the party. Mr. Frank Knotts of this office, balanced what he had already taken with the large melon, guessing twenty-nine pounds, the exact weight. Several of the young ladies ex ercised their leap year privileges and wished to accompany him , home, think ing he would get tired of his load about the time he would reach their homes and leave it in their care. lie thought he was man enough for fifty-eight pounds, and succeeded in getting it as far as this office where he left it for the hungry prints. CEDAR CREEK. An Important Little Village of the Platte, Her Industries and Business Men. BY TIM TRIMMER. Fourteen miles west of Plattsmouth, located on the old main line of the B. & M., and in the valley of the Platte, is situated the rustling, thriving burg of Cetlar Creek. It is not as large as some of her sisters; but the few days we spent there, gave us the impression that for business activity, it waes not far behind, the streets being full of teams each day. Cedar Creek's location is a very advan tageous one as a great corn belt and stock raising region is near there, making her one of the principal shipping points of the west. Theu, too, the large supply of sand and stone is another advantage possessed by few towns in the union. Besides many pleasant homes and resi dences that skirt the suburbs, are two dry goods and grccery stor-s; two grain elevators: one blacksmith shop: one car penter shop, one blacksmith shop, one shoe shop, one barber shop, one bank, one drug store, two hotels one sale and feed stable, and one well filled lumber yard. Cedar Creek owes her success as a trading point of no mean standing to tiic fact, that she possesses a substantial lot of business men that always rustle to the front and show up somewhat as fol lows: JUurphy blanker x Co., carry a complete line of dry goods and groceries; Geo. E. Sayles, an old time resident of Cedar Creek and a number one business man, carries a fine stock of dry goods, groceries and everything found in a first class store; Mike Ityse, backsmith; Joseph Wildi, carpenter; Ilatt & Co., butchers; John Mumford. boot and shoe shop; J. A. Connor, grain dealer, business carried on by Hon. D. S. Draper; Hon. F. E White, grain dealer, during his absence his business is under the control of Geo. E. Sayles; Dominic Nosciskic, butcher for Ilatt & Co.; J. A. Tipton, lumber dealer for Ritchey Bros.; Mr. Tipton is also the postmaster, and since receiving the appointment he has erected a neat new building greatly to the credit of himself and the town. L. E. Meyers, druggist; II. Inhelder, proprietor of feed and sale stable; J. W. Hoburg is the ac commodating station agent, telegraph operator and baggage master, and per forms his duties efficiently and agreeably to all. Dr. J. B. Duff is the successful physician and manipulator of pills ano1 powders. C. II. Parmele & Co., stock dealers; they, are also extensive feeders and stock raisers, running constantly on their large tracts of land form two to five hundred head of cattle. The Farmers Bank recently organized is an enterprise of which Cedar Creek may justly feel proud, especially when we take into consideration the men who are at its back, C- II Parmele, president C. A. Manker, vice-president; F. A Mur;hy, cashier. The latter well known for his business sagacity and escellen qualities is fast gaining the respect o the citizens ot Uedar Creek and commu nity which he so justly deserves. We wish to thank Fred for favors shown us wliil;; in Cedar Creek; but not he alone but niiny others who so kindly aided us in our work. C. II. Parmele & Co. are erecting, fine new residence at Cedar Creek, when completed to be occupied by Ed. Seiyers, who is raising stock for them Cedar Creek's hotel accommodations are far above the average found in rura towns, J. J. Schnider is proprietor of the Schnider house and Thedc Miller of the Miller house. as auove statea uedar creek s sane and stone industry is very important. There arc six distinct sand pits, four gravel pits and three stone quarries which employ in the neighborhood of three hundred men. The shipments are yery large; from August 1st to last Saturday the 2;th, there were 1 200 car-loads of sand and stone shipped to yarious points in this state and Kansas. If we figure, we will readily see that the B. & M. Co. received a pood sum for freight as the average is $12 per car. mt AAA . ni i izuu car snipment does not in clude the lower pit owned by the B. & M. C. and known as the Cullom pit which ships daily from GO to 80 cars. iii3 stone anu sand companies are as folloivs: Murphy Patterson & Co., Plattsmouth, own two; Western Sand & S one Co., Omaha, one; Frank Bushe, Cedar Creek, one; Hugh Murphy, Omaha, one. From eight to twelve cars of stock and grain are shipped from Cedar Creek each week. With all the above facts there is no question but Cedar Creek's future pros pects are bright She will in the halcyon days to come be a good town;is well locat ed in one of the most productive parts of the country, and in days not far distant, she must and will waddle up to the front and the business directory now in this issue is an eloquent eulogy on her splen did enterprise. The Herald has a good list of sup porters at this office, and improvement is bound to follow. A Fourscore Dirthday Celebration. On Saturday Aug. 25th, 1888, at the home of Mr. Wm. Young, in Rock Creek school district, a very pleasant and social eyent, of rather more than ordinary im portance, took place. It being the eightieth birthday of Mr. Young, a large number of relatives, friends and old ac quaintances gathered at his home to con gratulate him with friendly greeting up on his arriyal at the fourscore mile post in life's journey through this world. After greetings of welcome were over, and a few hours spent in social chat and friendly yisiting, about seventy-five peo ple sat down to a most bountiful repast, prepaired by his son David and wife; and which coLsisted of all the good things that heart could wish for. Mr. Young is one of the old settlers of Cass county, having lived in his present home something over thirty-three years. Mr. Young's pioneer life has been one of more than ordinary experience and activ ity. Having three different times moved into new countries with his family and occupied land before it had been sur veyed by the government. And in this connection a short extract taken from the biographical sketches of the early settlers of Cass county, as published in the his tory of Nebraska, will be very interest ing reading to his many friends and ac quaintances: "Mr. Young was born in Floyd Co., Ky., Aug. 25th 1 808, and was raised as a farmer. He was married Dec. 15th, 1832. He moved to Jonson Co., Missouri, in the spring of 1837, and the same fall he moved to Platte Co., Mo. In 1842 he moved to Nodaway Co., Mo., and fol lowed farming, and filled the office of justice of the peace. His wife died March 20th, 1849, leav ing four children, Leviua, Francis M., Elizabeth J., and Mary. He was married again May 12th, 1850, to Rebecca Mc Broom, and removed to Mills Co., Iowa, and again filled the office of justice of peace. On Nov. 3rd, 1854, he came to Nebraska and staked out a claim of 320 acres, and on March 5th, 1S55 moved his family on to his claim. They lived in a tent with wolves and wildcats about them until he built a log cabin, but re ceived no harm from his friendly neigh bors except the loss of a few sheep. He was elected county surveyor, and ran the first county road in Cass county. They lived here two or three years without any school house; Mr. Young gave up one of the rooms of his house for a school house and employed a lady teacher. He had by this time, built a double log house and when Uncle Sam's boys came along, they ran a line both ways through his farm, so that he sleeps on one quarter section and eats on another, all in the same house. In 1873 he was elected county surveyor and served two terms in succession; and served as road commis sioner several years, locating roads and bridges all over the county. Being 74 years of age he retired from active business life, and has been engaged in fruit growing and bee keeping. His second wife, Rebecca, died Feb. 19th, 18G5, leaving four children, David A , Ellen, Jennie and John W. JohnW. died Oct. 15th, 18G5, being about three years of age." The above extract shows a very active life. Mr. Young is living with his son David upon the old homestead, and is in the enjoyment of a fair degree of good health for a person of his age. We are very much indebted to the Misses Luella and Anna Young, for the following list of names of those present: Mrs. B. Spurlock, Mrs. H. Boeck, Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Martin, and Mrs. Mary Henson of Plattsmouth; Mr. and Mrs. S. M. Kirkpatrick, of Nehawka; Mr. J. W. Young, of Union; Mr. Quince Connally, wife and daughter, of Wabash; Mr. Lew Ilesscr , of Mercer Co., Ohio; Mrs. Sarah Dalton, of Council Bluffs, Iowa; Mr. B. Franz and wife, Mr. Joshua Gapen and wife, M. J. W. Ilesser and wife, Mr. F. M. Young, wife and family; Mr. Isaac Nelson, wife and daughters; M. F. M. Young Jr., daughter and son; Mr. Wm. Taylor, wife and son; Mr. G. D. Counal ly and wife; Mr. Wm. Gilmore and wife Mr. S. L. Furlong, wife and daughters Mr. Wm. Royal, sr.; Mr. Wm. Royal, jr, and wife; Mr. Austin Johnson and wife Mr. Hiram McDonald and wife; Mr. J, nogatt and wife; Mrs. S. W. Callum and daughter; Mrs, Wm Ellington, Mrs. J. D. Shrader, Mr. Geo. Nix, Mr. John Mc- Cullom. After partaking of the bountiful din ner set before us and spending a few more hours in social converse, the greet ings were indulged in, and the company dispersed to their respective homes, all feeling as though they had enjoyed a very pleasant visit. Quite a number of presents were left, among them four silk handkerchiefs. We wish to say that if more of such friendly yisits were indulged in by coun try people, the monotony of farm life would be greatly relieved. For under our present high pressure system of work, and reticent manner of social intercourse, farmers and neighbors would scarcely be on a speaking acquaintance with one another, if it were not for the few days of exchange work that usually takes place during harvesting and threshing. S. L. F. To Builders. The time for receiving bids for boiler room to High School building has been extended to Sept. 3, 1888. Plans and specifications can be seen by enquiring of Wash.
