The old roof can be replaced with a new one, but the careworn look upon the faces of these most excellent old friends cannot be cast off as the old shingles are torn from the roof built by the young will ing hands and honest hearts of many years ago. The new cement walks in Murray are adding more to the appearance of the various properties where they are be ing laid than any one thing that could possibly be done, and they have surely come to stay.

The operation, which was performed by his uncle, R. H. Rhoden, was a most successful one, and his re covery unusually rapid, considering the seriousness of his condition, which cer tainly demonstrates Dr. Rhoden's ability in cases of this nature.

The Journal joins with the many friends of this happy pair in wishing them . a pleasant journey through life j and the fulfillment of all their wishes. I TO PLATTSMOUTH Meddlers Who Always Put in a 7ord of Condemnation The following from the Weeping Water Republican is so applicable to some people in Plattsmouth, that the Journal cannot resist the temptation of giving it space in its columns: Not long since we heard a gentleman say that the property he had for rent, which is one of the best locations in Weeping Water, is without a tenant for the reason that meddling neighbors always put in a word of condemnation. The prospective renter no sooner looked the property over than he was approached by an interested one, and told that the place was all run down and not fit for anyone to live in. And again a gentleman was heard to make a remark like this: I own a good residence here. Not long ago a gentle man who is wealthy and was looking for a place to live, came here to look the property over. He wes f-atisfiec'J liked the town, the schools, and expect ed to make the deal, but a meddler found out his errand. He spoke of the condition of the property, told how it was in need of repair, and also told the gentlemen that it was worth about one half the price the stranger expec ted to pay. The de,l fell through, the stranger took his bank account to another town and Weeping Water has the meddler to show for it. The fact is Weeping Water property is lower than in any other town in the county. The sooner real estate men and property owners commerce to place a price on their homes nearer the actual cost of con struction the better. A man leaving town is forced to place a figure on his home regardless of the cost of his lots. at a con struction of the buildings thereon. What is needed is a few less knockers who think they see a chance to sell something just as good. A few less critics and meddlers. That is what makes a town. A property is worth just what the owner can get for it, or the renter, and it is their business.
