rTebrask State KIrteil- cal Society JoMicint&l. VOL. HO. XXXV1IL PLATTSMOUTH, NEBRASKA, MOITDAY, MARCH 13, 1922. NO. 69 CLOSES UP WORK AS OVERSEER OF THE COUNTY FARM J. H. Tarns Files Last Report and is Now Free Agent Made a Splendid Success. From Thursday's Dally. On Monday J. H. Tarns, for the past fourteen years superintendent of the Cass county farm, closed up his work and presented his final re port to the board of commissioners and stepped down and out as the head of the farm after years of most faithful service to the people of Cass county. When Mr. Tarns assumed charge of the farm in 1908 it, was one of the old time county institutions that re ceived little or no attention and to be sent to it to live was not a little worse than a good jail sentence and. not half the accommodations of a good jail, while the property around the farm was valued at $1,470, and the general conditions far from what would be considered sanitary around the buildings. Mr. and Mrs. Tarns labored very diligently with their task and had the old building in good shape when it was destroyed by fire and was re placed by the present fine building that houses the wards of the county. Mr. Tarns, with his years of experi ence in farm work soon had the farm producing a great deal of the stuff needed to feed the residents and as time progressed he brought forth a handsome surplus for the county at the end of each year. I To show Just what fine shape the farm Is in today we print the figures of the last report of Mr. Tams, of the date of March 1st.

Here she met and married Clifford Cecil on September 8, 1919, after which they moved to Fort Collins. Colorado. They remained there only a short time, coming to Woodbine abcut a year ago. Sister Cecil gave her life to Christ when a small girl of thirteen, while living at Ashland. Nebraska, under the preaching of Brother C. E. Cob bey. She has been a true Christian all of her life and entirely innocent of worldly things. Her life always spoke for the love she had for the churchT home and loved ones. Hav ing been under the care of a physi cian for a number of years and hav ing suffered much, she bore it all patiently and it seemed to have a purifying effect on her and to give her a beautiful philosophy of life? She was always kind and cheerful and ready to do any task assigned her. While a member of the Wood bine church but a short time, she won the hearts of all who knew her. Her very presence was a benediction. She will be greatly missed by her lit tle boys and girls in the primary repartment of the Bible school. She leaves to mourn her untimely going a loving husband to whom she has been a real companion, an aged father and mother to whom she has been a great source of comfort, two sisters, Mrs Orpha Schell of Tope ka. Kansas; Mrs. Clara Miller of Fort Collins, Colorado. Two sisters and one brother having preceded her to the Great Beyond. Beside these a father-in-law and mother-in-law, Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Cecil and their two child ren, Harley and Florence. Also a great host of friends and relatives who extend their sympathies in this sad hour. We loved her, yes we loved her But the angels loved her more; And they have swetly called her To heaven's shining shore. The pearly gates were open; A gentle voice said "Come," And with a farewell spoken. She calmly entered home. CARD OF THANKS We desire to express our most grateful appreciation of the kindness shown to lis during the illness of our beloved wife, mother, daughter and sister, and for the tender sym pathy in the loss of our loved one. Also we wish to thank the friends and neighbors, the Royal Neighbors, the Sheet. Metal Workers' union and Burlington shops for their floral re membrances.
