Albert Young celebrated his thirtieth birthday last week in a rather unique manner, and one that he claims is all his own.

Tutt become the owners of the late Holmes & Smith stock of general merchandise at Murray. We say the late Holmes & Smith store for the simple reason that it may be better known as such, although it has had several own ers since that firm sold out last spring, the last of whom was Mr. II. M. Davis The store has enjoyed a good patronage under the management of both Mr. Hast and Mr. Davis, but it has been the opinion of many people around Murray that the slock had slipped into the hands of exclusive traders, none of whom came to Murray with the itnention of slaying only long enough to dispose of it to an ad vantage and a profit. As to this being true we have never known, but we do know thai, the people I Mrs. Fleming will! who have had this in their mind real interpreta- A Day of Pleasure. of the most pleasant events new year was the surprise Mr. and Mrs. Torrence Wednesday of this Jenkins' Hall, Murray, NebraskU, February 3, 1912.

The event was planned and carried to a' suc cessful end by Mrs. A. L. Baker and Mrs. Charles Mulz. A number of conveyances were obtained and the crowd from town, with well filled baskets, left, for the Fleming home about 11 o'clock. Guests to a large number came from the surrounding country. It proved an afternoon long to be remembered, and the only cloud lo mar the pleasure of the day was the thought (hat we must lose Mr. and Mrs. Fleming from our midst.

Mrs. Dave Lloyd was taken to the hospital again Wednesday morning of I his week. She was accompanied by Dr. B. F. Brendel nnd her son, Bert. Mrs. Lloyd re turned home from the, hospital a few weeks ago, and she seemed to be improving quite rapidly until a few days ago, when she grew a great deal worse, and it was deemed necessary to return her to the hospital. She has been suf fering with tuberculosis of the bone in the limb. can rest, assurred that the present owners, Messrs. Hiatt and Tutt, are going to Murray to remain. It is fhi'ir intention of making Mur ray their home, building up a gen eral merchandise business that will prove both interesting and profitable to them, by treating the people fair in every particular, and extending every possible courtesy due in the tranascting of business on complete modern principles. Mr. and Mrs. Tutt expect to become residents of Murray this week, if their present plans prove successful in secur ing a residence properly. The Journal people have known Messrs. Hiatt and Tutt for the past ten years, and have found JJiem lo be llrsl-class young men in every particular. Tfiey were born in Cass county and their parents have been residents of this section for more than fifty veais. If there is a single man in the county that can truthfully speak ill of either generation of I he Tutts and Hiatts, we have failed lo see him. Mr. Tutt, sr., J. was one of Hie pioneer merchants of Plaltsmoulh, being associated with Captain Bennett for a great many years, and Ed put in many years in business with him. We believe they will be success ful from the start, for we are suf licienlly well acquainted with the people of Murary to know that they love men of fairness. We have no hesitancy in bespeaking for them a liberal share of the patronage upon this basis, and believe that in future years their present venture will prove grand success.
