To the Plattsmouth Journal and My Many Friends in Cass County: I take this method in writing to all. I left Cass county Tuesday, December 20, and arrived here in Minnesota Monday morning, January 4. I left Murray Tuesday evening about 7 o'clock and arrived in Omaha that evening about 10:30, just in time to see my train for Sioux City leaving. I had to lay there until the next evening at 4 o'clock. I got to Sioux City at 11 o'clock that night, so I could get no train out of there until 6:30 the next evening, and in making up my train they broke the air pipe, or, as the trainmen say, "train line," so I was delayed until 6:30 Friday evening. I arrived in Morris, Minn., Saturday evening at 5:80. As there was no train out to Graceville until Monday morning I was compelled to lay over Sunday at 5Iorris. I loaded my stock into the car about o'clock Monday morning and arrived in Graceville about 10 o'clock a. m. In shipping from Morris to Graceville I had one horse badly hurt. She seems to be jammed in her right fore shoul der. The neighbors turned out and helped me move. The weather is fine here and not much snow. I find stock here about as cheap as it was in Nebraska. I was lucky enough to get two good cows up here for S4 each. Corn is pretty good in this locality, making about 40 to 4 bushels per acre. I found COO bushels of corn in my crib, that being my share of forty acres, or one-third of the crop. I bought all of the hay I need for $4.50 per ton, and it's good hay. My family arrived Friday evening. They enjoyed their trip and like the country fine so far. I hope the Journal will find space for these few lines and if they don't reach the wastebasket I will try to keep you posted on the crops, weather, etc. R. C. BAILEY. The Telephone Meeting. The Farmers' Telephone meeting that was called at Loughridge hall in Murray last Saturday was well at tended.

This means that the Mur ray exchange will have fully 200 phones in case the new venture proves success.

The pro moters of the new lineare confident that- they will have one of the best farmers' lines in the state. Chickens for Sale.

The Journal certainly has an apol ogy to offer the excellent family of Mr. and Mrs. George Ray, residing east of Murray, for what might seem carelessness on our part, at the time of the marriage of their daughter, Miss Esther, to Mr. Glen Thompson, which occurred in Omaha on the 23d of December. The marriage cere mony, which was witnessed by Mr. and Mrs. Ray and James Hatchett, was performed in Omaha, and was an affair that entirely escaped the no tice of the Journal reporters, and failed to get into the columns of the paper. This alone is the cause fol iate notice of the happy event. Miss Ray was always one of the most pop ular young ladies in this section of Cass county, and is the eldest daugh ter of Mr. and Mrs. George S. Ray, who have resided in this vicinity for many years. The groom, Mr. Glen Thompson, is a young man of sterling worth, and resides at Wood River, Neb., where the young people will make their future home.
