a welcome to its former residents to

see that the proper kind of entertain
ment is provided for the visitors and
it will be divided so that everyone can
have the time of their lives in attend

tainment for the older people and
around this pleasant event there could
be a recital of the old times in this
part of the world when they wrere

be worked up if possible and would
be one that everyone could enjoy and
appreciate to the fullest extent. The

greater size that will be found to fill
in better shape the needs of the con
sumers. When it comes to enterprise
;nd push Nehawka ranks with the

the bunch of live wires among the
business men they secure pretty much
what they start out after, and with
usual Nehawka spirit Mr. Pollard is.

PLATTSMOUTH NO -PLACT
FOR DUSKY
SONS OFTHE SOUTH
Plattsmouth does not offer a very
hospitable reception to the dushy
hued sons of Africa, and the town is
given a very wide berth by the trav
eling colored population as a rule.
One of the tbony-hued gentlemen
drifted in this morning, but had not
been here but a short time until Olli
cer Alvin Jones, who is acting as
chief of police during the absence of
Chief Barclay, descended ipon him.
and whispered that he had better 1 ic
on his way elsewhere, and according
ly the colored man started northward
for Omaha, where there is a more
cordial reception"given the members
of his race. The experiences of the
residents here with the negroes in the
past has not created a very tender
feeling toward any of their race, and
they are not allowed to remain here
very long.
