have an Illustrated page in fhat paper.
Every opportunity to give the Star Citt

improved, and The Herald observes
this movement with pleasure and hopes
the advertising of the city will be liber
ally pushed this summer, and at the same
time desires a fair patronage of its own
columns, which will be devoted to the
same end. Great possiblities are within
the'grasp of Plattsmouth". advantages.
and the more they are advertised the
moi'e Jbey will be patronized. The Star
Citt don't need t.Q wait till any clouds
roll by to take the lead amoug Nebraska's
" jems," for she naturally has a front seat
at the industrial inducement show, and
all that people, industry and capital, are
waiting for is to have the light turned
on; then the visa men of the east, north,
