of this excellent old couple, who have
so happily lived sixty years of mar-
lied life, most of which has been lived
in this county. The occasion was held
in the Johnson Grove, near the Cole
home, and there were a large number

twenty-four great grandchildren of
this excellent old couple. Mr. Hiatt is

Tractor Engine Goes Through Bridge.
One of the heavy traction engines
went through the small culvert on the
road to Plattsmouth last Monday, just
east of the parsonage on the Platts
mouth-Mynard road, and succeeded
in smashing it up to such an extent
that it has injured a number of cars
passing that way. M. G. Churchill
was one of the unlucky ones. He
went to Plattsmouth before the ac
cident and returned after, and did not
notice the damaged place until he had
passed it, at which time he also learn
ed that he had a broken spring on his
auto. It certainly is the duty of some
one to look after such matters as this
in time to prevent accidents, some of
which might be a great deal more ser
ious. HOG TAKEN UP.
Several days ago a stray hog came
to my place, and after remaining near
for some time the animal was placed
in my lot, and every effort has been
made to find the owner.. The owner
may have same by calling at my place
and proving property, paying for care
and damages and for this advertise
ment. Alva Long,

There never was a season so favor
able for building and making im
provements around your farm home
as this one has been, and the activity
around the Murray lumber yard is an
evidence of this fact. More of all

spring than for many seasons. The
demand for good goods and the fact
that it can always be found at this
lumber yard at the right prices are
the causes for the increased business.
Mr. Kikendall is after the lumber
business of this locality, not only from
the fact that it is due him, but be
