A man is going at a dangerously high rate of speed when he travels at a twelve horse power gait on a two horse-power income. Tman who travels at a six horse-power gait on an eight horse-power income can appreci ate the speed, and has a clear idea where he will land. At the the same time, he is not us ing up all his energy, but is creating a reserve which will see him over the rougher places. I is a pretty good thing to be prepared for a rainy day. The man who has a bank account possesses an assurance that when misfortune or sickness comes, he will be prepared. A bank accout is a reserve that a man can draw upon at any time. The money is always available. We invite you to start an account at the The Eyiurray C. 3. STONE.

Slocum and is now looking for something new in the line of a farm. The price he. received brings to light the fact that Cass county land is still going skyward, also the num ber of deals that are at present in the wind. Frank Wiles has purchased the old Churchill farm at $68 per acre. This place is located southeast of Murray. A short time ago N. Slocum conditionally purchased the Dan Ki ser place near Mynard, and paid some money on the deal, which was made in this manner: If Mr. Kiser could find something that suited him in the way of a home the contract would be held good.

RESTRAINING ORDER ISSUED BY JESSEN Haarinj on Application For Injunction Set For January 16 a Offhe cf jufce In Netos'ta City. In the district clerk's .ff c- an in junction suit entitled JIattie 1. Tay lor, and infant, by her guardian, Bar bara A. Taylor, vs. Road Overseer K. Austin and Cass County was filed to day by the plaintiff's attorney, John C. Watson. The action is brought to enjoin the defendants from tearing a fence on the plaintiff's property, in order to open up a public highway. On the 11th of December, 190, Road Overseer Austin notified the plaintiffs that the fence is in the public high way, running north and south on the half section line through the center of Section 25, Township 10 and Range Y.i and that the fence forms an obstruc tion therein. At the same time he further notified the plaintiffs to re move said fence, and in event of a failure to comply with this notice by the 10th of January, 1907, he, as road overseer, would remove fence as pro vided by the law in such cases. The 10th day of January is today, and therefore the plaintiffs, through their attorney, John C. Watson, of Nebraska City, instituted proceedings against the road overseer, and Cass county, and sought to secure an injunction. A restraining order was issued by Judge Jessen, who has set the 16th day of January as the date on which a hearing will be had in re gard to application and issuing of the injunction. The hearing will take place at 2 o'clock of the above date in the office of the judge at Nebraska City. Stockholders Annual Meeting.
