IN PLATTSr.lOUTII FORTY YEARS AGO Item of Interest to Our Reader Gleaned from the Newspaper Files of Many Years Ago. A Movement That Forty Years Ago Was Stirring Up Things. A movement is on foot lo grade these roads and get them in run ning tinier, for the benefit of our Nebraska City friends, we give the case' as it stands, being informed that many persons down there do not understand that aid has been voted in Cass county for both roads and not" one alone, and that Cass county people are interested in the building of both roads alike. One hundred and thirty thousand dollars are voted for what we call the trunk road. Five thousand dollars a mile are voted for the Weeping Water road. The Trunk bonds expire on the 30lh day of June next, while the W. W. bonds have over one year from that lime to run. Now none of use want to lose the chance of any roads in the eastern part of the state. We have pointed out the ad vantages of such roads on this side of the river, in Nebraska, so often that we are almost tired of SlISSffSSSZICB The Time Will Soon Be Here when you will need that new Heater. We want to call your attention to the Favorite Round Oak Heaters, Furnaces and Room Heaters There are no hetter stoves and heating plants on the market than the Round Oak. BAKER & NICKELS, Murray, - Nebraska We are adding to our harness line as rapidly as the demand permits. river counties we like so much we will go over the ground again. These roads, if built, will bring taxable property within the state. They will keep money here in stead of sending it away. They build up towns and vil lages and constitute a home mar ket that will absorb more or less of the farmers' produce that can not be shipped abroad. They will bring passengers and travel through our river counties and give them a chance to see these counties and invest in them. Men will be more apt to select homes in a land they can travel through than one they only view from a distance. Lastly, they will open a vast ami new outlet for the former lo dispose of his produce, and place the towns along both lines on the great highway lo the ocean at Oalveston, or somewhere in that neighborhood in a few years. The money and the travel, the wealth and the new blood of the state have been carried right by us and beyond us to the far west for some years, leaving Ihe fairest and richest country in the state behind in the race for settlement. Don't you see this settlers in Oloe; in Cass? Had these roads been built some years ago there would have been no "A. & N." Neb. Citv would have divided the trade with Lincoln, she may yet when once on a great southern thorotighfore and not on a side track. If we understand the matter, they are about to vote for an ex tension of the "Northwestern"' bonds in Otoe, that will give us these roads at once, with all these advantages. We hope no one in Cass county will be fooli-h enough to oppose this plan. It will help Cass county more than can be dreamed of now. In (doe and Neb. City we consider it al most their salvation in the fu ture. I)o not let the chance slip. We care not what you call the road. Call it the N. W., W. W.. or what you please, make the main line up Ihe W. W. if you like, only give us the outlet, and do not let this chance slip to build two roads through a section of country at present left one side of the trael and trade of the slate. One of the finest portions at that. We sincerely hope that the judicious and far-seeing friends of Otoe and Neb. City will see this and feel that this is our last chance to retain our prestige and our business in the eastern counties. Every settler in these two coun ties has a stake in this mailer, and in seeing these roads built. Let none then throw a stone in the way of success.
