CASS COUNTY AWAY AHEAD OF OTOE IN PUDLIC IMPROVEMENTS C. E. Ileebner was interviewed in Nebraska City, one day last week and the Press, in comment ing on what Mr. Ileebner said, gives Cass county credit with be ing ahead of Otoe in several re spects. This county has a poor farm of 120 acres that has been self-supporting for a number of years, under the eilicient man agement of Mr. Tarns, while Otoe county with a full quarter sec tion of line land does not come anywhere near making both end- meet. This county has solved the cement culvert proposition by hiring the work done and fur nishing' their own material. An other thing that is not generally Known is mat mere is not a telephone in the court house at rial isnio ui n, the commissioners believing stamps in the majority of instances, are just as effective as a phone bill.

"Wlll'" ' Vtt IWO U'l"" Besrt the FINE TREAT FOR THE INMATES OF THE CASS county poor house GASES DISPOSED OF IN DISTRICT COURT lesieruay anernoon the resi dents at the county farm, west of this city, were given a rare treat and one that will long be mos pleasantly remembered by the old people who make their home there as being an occasion of great enjoyment, in the visit of the junior choir of the Methodis church, consisting of Misses Leona Dwyer, Florence Buttery, Zclma Tuey, Hazel Tuey, Oladys Hall, Ina Dalton, Kate Sattler, Mina Kaffenberger and Jessie Whelan. The young ladies gave a concert that was certain Iy a pleasure to hear and was deeply appreciated by the old people, as well as Superintendent Cf. H. Tains and wife. In addition to the visit of the choir the ladies of the Woman's Bible Class of the church sent to each resident at the farm a most acceptable Christmas present, which served to make the day's pleasure com plete for these old folks, who are so feeble and aged as to make it impossible for them to secure much of the pleasures of the world, and the action of the choir and ladies of the Methodist church in sending out these gifts, as well as giving the concert, is one that could well be followed by other organizations of the dif ferent churches. The visit of the choir assisted greatly in helping out the plans of Superintendent Tamps for a happy Christinas for the old folks and he expresses the most heartfelt thanks for the concert, as well as the Rifts be stowed upon the residents at the farm.
