tract, hut will in a!l probabilities be
farmed out in the Dakota league

i-p;es will spend some time in rest
ing and looking over the situation
on the coast with a view of locating.
Mr. Spies leaves this city after a res
idence of forty-three years and a
large number cf his old friends were
at the station to bid him farewell on
his westward journey. It was not
without regret that he left the old
home and stated that he more than
appreciated the way that he had been
treated by the good people of Platts
mouth during his residence here.
RAIN DAMAGES ROADS
The rains of the last few days has
caused the work that the overseers
over the county have been putting
on the highways to be practically
wiped out as the wet and soggy
weather has made the reads hard to
travel and undone all the good that
the road bosses put in on the roads
during the few days of dry weather.
It has had a tendency to retard all
lines of trade and business as the poor
traveling keeps the average farmer
at home even if the weather is such
that they cannot look after their field
work.
