The VTUJ. llltUilCU committee from the Fourth of July The Commercial Club held its regu lar meeting at Coates Hall Tuesday evening. There are a number of busi ness men who ought to attend the meet ings, who do not. The weather condi tions were fine and the stores were closed so that the merchants could go, but. they were not there. Do you know why Plattsmouth does not accomplish greater thing9? It is because of just such indifference, as was shown by most of those who were absent from the meeting last Tuesday night.
