bouncing baby girl, weighing eigh
pounds. Under all these circumstances
it is no wonder Grandpa Windham feels
fine. Both mother and child are doing
well.

that he had started too early, not hav- j
ing fully recovered from the attack of
several weeks previous and after work
ing for a day and a half, he was com

is much better today and thinks that it
is only a question of a few days until
he will have fully recovered.
A Pleasant Gathering

Last Friday and Saturday The Jour
nal roustabout spent in Greenwood and
vicinity in the interest of this great
and prosperous paper. Friday after
noon, in company with our good friend,
B. F. Laughlin, we took a spin several
miles to the northeast of Greenwood
and found many of the farmers thresh
ing, there being three machines in the
immediate vicinity threshing the gold
en grain, averaging irom lb to
bushels per acre.
While out in this beautiful section of
Cass county we called on several far
mers, among whom were George B.
Zeigler, J. K. Browning, H. W. Mein-
ser and John Kirker, the only ones we
could find in our drive who were not
already readers of The Journal. They,
of course, desired the best paper ever
published in Cass county and enrolled
their names as patrons. In this same
territory we called on Jos. Halrras, a
son of our old German friend, Nick
Halmas, who lives west- of this city.
We found Joe busy with his threshing
and did not tarry long. Mr. Halmas
has a most excellent farm and recently
he had erected a fine, large residence,
which is one among the most beautiful
and imposing farm houses in that section.
The farmers in the vicinity of Green
wood have been blessed with several
showers of rain in the past two weeks,
and consequently the corn, generally
speaking, looks quite healthy. We
spent the night
In Greenwood,
And the next morning started out to
visit a number of our friends and to
make as many new ones as possible.
The town boasts of several general
stores, a hardware store, one of the
finest meat markets in the county, two
elevators, one saloon, one bank, one
hotel, and many of the handsomest and
most comfortable homes to be found in
the county. There are several business
houses that deserve more than simply
a passing notice, chief among which is
The Stone Mercantile Co.
One of the finest general stores it has
ever been our pleasure to enter. Mr.
Stone, the general manager, came to
Greenwood several years ago and has
built up a business ot which anyone
should be proud. His store is very
neatly arranged, and on entering, one can
see at a glance that Mr. Stone is an up-to-date
merchant. Even his show win
dows are arranged in such a manner as
to impress one with the idea that the
manager is alive to the needs of his
many patrons. As a window dresser,
as well as a merchant; Mr. Stone is
right up with other merchants of towns
twenty times the size of Greenwood.
Mr. Stone is an allround business man,
is very popular witn tne people, al
ways endeavors to carry goods that his
patrons want, which adds materially to
the immense business done. He em
ploys several clerks, among whom
are two of Greenwood's most charming
young ladies, which should attract
many young men to the Stone Mercan
tile company's store. The young ladies
are particularly genial and attentive to
all who enter. Mr. Stone is a man af
ter our own heart, ioIitirally speaking,
and we were pleased to make his ac
quaintance. Another Fine Business House.
One of the finest confectioneries, we
guarantee, in the state of Nebraska, is
situated right in the town of Green
wood, and is owned and managed by
H.H. Weideman, an awful clever young
man, well fitted for this particular bus
iness. The room in which this estab
lishment is situated is one of the larg
est in the town, and its furnishings are
right in line with those of confectionery
stores in larger cities. Here will be
found all kinds of goods in the confec
tionery line, with ice cream and oysters
in Beason, hot and cold lunch, cigars,
candies, nuts, and in fact everything
kept in a first class establishment of
this character. Mr. Weidemann told
us that when he opened this business
several years since everyone prophesied
a failure, and that for the first thirty
days it looked that way, as his receipts
averaged only a little over $3 per day
for that length of time. But being pos
sessed of that energy and grit that
makes business go he did not "get the
blues" and persevered onward and up
ward until he reached that point where
his place is considered one of the best
money-making establishments in Green
wood. Henry is a clever young man,
and this with his excellent business
qualities, makes him very popular
among all classes of people.
Another Enterprise.
J. V. Stradley & Co. i3 a new enter
prise established in Greenwood since
we visited this flourishing little city
two years ago. Te&e building which
this firm occupies wis erected purposely
for the business which is carried on,
and is a mammoth structure. Here all
manner of farm implements can be had,
including windmills, gasoline engines,
pumps, pipe, and buggies and carriages
with or without rubber tires. There is
nothing used on the farm which can
not be had at this establishment. J. V.
Stradley is a young man full of vim
and energy, and is makincr business in
his line hum. This establishment is a
credit to Greenwood and deserves pros
perity. In Conclusion.
We feel very grateful to Mr. R. D.
McDonald, the only hardware merchant
in the town, and to Mr. B. F. Laugh
lin, who always feel a deep interest
in the success of The Journal, for the
interest they manifested in our behalf
during our sojourn in this pleasant lit
tle city. This visit, with assistance,
resulted in doubling our subscription
list at the Greenwood postoffice. We
always liked the town, and the people
thereof, and expect to visit them often
in the next two or three months, and
give more mention of her business men.
In District Court.
H. H. Carroll has this day filed an
appeal undertaking from Justice Ar
cher's court, in the case in which he
sues the village of Elmwood and six of
its citizens, to the district court. Mr.
Carroll seems confident of a reversal in
the.district court.
