Two of Murray's Most Excellent Young People and Guests Enjoy Pleasant Evening Monday evening, August 15, 1910, was an evening long to be remember ed by two of Murray's most excellent young people, Mr. and Mrs. W. C. Brown. The occasion was given In honor of their fifth wedding anni versary and it was celebrated la a most pleasant and unique manner, Some of the friends of Mr. and Mrs. Brown planned tne occasion, which was to be a surprise, but owing to the honored couple having planned for the evening out of the city, they were apprised of what wa3 going on about 6 o'clock; up to this hour the well laid plans worked charmingly The friends had planned for a mer ry trip over the town In an automo bile, and to make stops at a number f the residences for the partaking of an excellent three course luncheon, one course for each stop. In due time the auto landed at the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Brown, and they were Invited to enjoy a cool arive on tnis very warm summer evening, which was indeed most ln vltlng and of course promptly accept ed. The auto was made by the big factory that is expected to be launch ed In Murray In the near future, de signed and patented by W. G. Boe deker, J. W. Holmes and Dr. G. H Gilmore. It was a car of most strik ing proportions, built along the clas slcal lines under the supervision of these talented designers, of material reputation. The body was of the Kandaulet style with most of the landaulet removed, artistic decora tions taking Its plJce. A Holmes 8 cylinder air-cooled engine Is used In this -Boed-Holm-Mome type of land ulet, started on spark as most cylin ders are, especially when used to sparking. The twelve foot shaft drive attached to the rear axle was a unique thing in mechanical construc tion. The corborator on this car gives the proper mixture and Is so adjusted that it will adjust itself to atmospheric conditions. The proper mixture without too much water us ually strikes the taste of an expert "chauffeur," as the occasion was a blowout on four wheels. Tire trou ble was joyfully anticipated. The muffler was removed of the Presto Electro-Olio type, causing the polish ed gold and silver finish to glisten with respendent beauty. The car glided along like a summer dream like a gondolla In the streets of Ven Ice, with the mellow moonlight beam ing upon Its swan-like bow, to the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. James Holmes. Here the first stop was made and the first course of the excellent three course luncheon had been pre pared under the supervision of Mr and Mrs. W. G. Boedeker, Mr. and Mrs. James Holmes, Mr. and Mrs. O. A. Davis and Miss Margie Walker. From here the merry party again took up the most pleasant and un tiring drive that was for the pas sengers to the pleasant home of Mr. and Mrs. Oldham, where the second course was in readiness, and where the entertainers were: Mr. and Mrs. Alva Long, Mr. and Mrs. T. J. Brendel, Mr. and Mrs. James Lough rldge, Isabella and Albert Young, Pauline and Fay Oldham and Mrs. Addle Stokes. The next and third scheduled stop was at the home of Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Smith, end the party arrived ex actly on time. Here the entertain ers for the third course of the lunch con were Dr. and Mrs. G. H. Gil- more, Mr. and Mrs. S. O. Pitman, Mr. and Mrs. W. S. Smith and Miss Ida Boedeker. Thusly ended one of the most pleasant evening's spent In Murray for many a day, all the merry en tertainers wishing their honored towns-people, Mr. and Mrs. Brown many more such happy occasions, and that they may live and reside In Mur ray to enjoy a similar occasion at the fiftieth anniversary of their wedding.

Young of near Murray who owns land in Cedar county, this state, returned from a two weeks visit to that county this mornln. Mr. Young is delighted with the country in northwest Nebraska, and will move his family to his farm there next spring. He purchased his land one year ago last March, paying $75 per acre for It and was offered a raise of $25 per acre while he was out there this time. His oats crop went better than 40 bushels per acre, and corn will average even better than that. Mr. Young says the agricul tural report for last year will show Cass county's yield per acre at 28 bushels while the same report will show 42 bushels average for Cedar county. Alfalfa does well there, the men having this crop have harvested two crops and are ready for the third cutting. Mr. Young saw the follow ing Cass county men: F. W. Klopp Ing, M. Fleming, Will Lewis, Gus Lowther, Jesse Lowther, J. H. Norrls and all of whom are doing well on their own farms and are enthusiastic In their praise of the country.
