able time was had.
Here is and illustration of the panicy
times as given by Mark Furlong of
Rock Bluffs. In the fall he purchased
a mower on six months time intending
to fatten some pigs for the market.
He penned up four nice thrifty
pigs and began the fattening process.
When the "time" struck us he saw
that he would have to put in two more
to have sufficient money to lift the
debt. The price of hogs has since
fallen and now he has eight instead
of tour penned up and fattening, con
suming just twice as much corn. A
double price for a piece of machinery.
Who is to blame? Mark is industerous,
has good crops and has had no cholera
among his hogs. He has done his part
and Providence her part well. "It
makes one feel like cussing," he tersly
remarks.

Goes With the Duff Company.
Geo. Berger, who has been associated
with D. J. Amick in the stock business
here for the past few months, has ac
cepted a position with the Duff Grain
Co., of Nebraska City, to look after
their interests at the elevators in Platts
mouth, Oreapolis and Cullom, with
headquarters in the county seat. This
is the position made vacant by the sick
ness of Geo. Sayles. Mr. Berger will
also continue to buy stock, and the
former firm name of Amick & Burger
will prevail in this department, with
headquarters at both Plattsmouth and
Murray. We believe that the Duff
company have made a wise move in
securing the services of Mr. Berger,
as he is thoroughly competent to look
after their interests, and will greatly
increase the business at the points
under his managemet.
