completed a model house which li?
has constructed with wood, and sur
rounded the same with a fence of
the old fashioned rail style, wil'-.
gates on all sides, and with srurl
evergreen trees which graces t.'ic
yard. Anyone can get a peep hi the

Nehawka Gets a New Postmaster
Verner Lundberg, who with the
present postmaster. G. C. llobac k.
took examination for the position el
postmaster at Nehawka and both
gentlemen who are very line- men
passed with a very high average. The
present administration being repub
lican it was a foregone conclusion
when both gentlemen passed with
such a high avtrage that the office
would go to the one cf the patty in
power. Nehawka has been nicely
served during the time when Mr.
Hoback was postmaster and we are
sure it will be very nicely served af
ter the change ha been made.
Has Given Excellent Service
With the receiving of the certifi
cate of appointment to the posiiion
of postmaster of Nehawka, Mr. Ver
ner Lundberg, he w ill assume charg
of the office, and Mr. G rover C. Ho
back. who has been postmaster for
nearly ten years will step out, with
the full knowledge that he has at a!!
time made a most excellent official
and has kept the office in a way
which no one could criticize. Mr.
Iloback before his appointment to
the position of postmaster was em
ployed with the Sheldon store of
Nehawka and made i most excellent
saleman being efficient, accomodat
ing and carrying with this a capa
city for a large amount of work, and
proved to be one cf the best men
which this business institution has
had the good fortune to possess.
Following his appointment nearly
ten years ago, to the postition of
postmaster, he carried the same char
acteristics into the office being al
ways obliging, courteous and accom
modating and being correct in his
accounts as well. All Nehawka and
the patrons of the office here regret
very much that he is leaving the of
fice as he has proved the most re
liable official that the office has this
far had.

Miss Tessie I'hilpot. who was so
seriously injured some three wet ks

The above telegram was received
by Verii'-r Lundberg this (Thursday)
afternoon, about :l.r, p. m., from
t-'onator Howell which informed him
that he had been chosen to be Ne
haw lea's next postmaster.
The news will undoubtedly be a
surprise to many. It was thought
by many that (. -. Hoback, our
present postmaster would again re
ceive the appointment. Evidently
the moguls back east have decided
Mr. Hoback had held the position
!org enoutih and under the present
administration decided on making
the- change.
Mr. Hoback has been in the post
ofti-e here Tor the past nine years
during which time he has conducted
the thu'o in a very crtuitanie man
ner. He has been faithful to his
duties there and of whnh nothing
but praise may be- heard. He is leav

good will of the patrons of the of

Mr. Lundberg is a Nehawka pro

We join his many friends m congrat

will not take Mr. Hoback and his es

Vaccinate as a Preventative
Nov.- i the time to prevent an
other outbreak of cholera. As soon
as the pigs are weaned they should
be vaccinated, then they are im

Cut Sweet Clover High
If a cutting of hay is to be taken
off the sweet clover fields this should
be cut early and high, if the crop
is expected to come on and make a
second trrowth. Reports leathered by
the V. of N. Agricultural college last
vear show that a number of me-n
killed the sweet clover when they
cut it. It is usually recommended
that sweet clover be cut for hay be
fore anv of the flower buds appear.
The height of the sweet clover will
of course carv with the soil fertil-
itv, moisture and season, but it
should r.ot be allowed to get too
(oar:-e and wood v. Sweet clover dif
fers from alfalfa and red clover in
that the second growth does not
come from the crown but from the
buds along the stem. If left too long
before cutting the heavy growth
causes these buds to die and then if
the crop is mowed there is no second
growth. It is a good plan to set
the sickle bar so that it leaves a
five to six inch stubble from which
the second growth may start. Second
year sweet clover is rather hard to
iuie, due to the fact that it must be
cut early in the season when haying
conditions are not the best. The
leaves are also apt to shatter. It
should be handled however as one
would handle a similar growth of
alfalfa.

Obituary of Aged Cass
County Pioneer Citizen
SMALL AUTO ACCIDENT
Ira W. Bosworth was born August
24, 1848, In Tioga county, Pennsyl
vania and died June 3, 1924, aged
75 years, 9 months and 20 days.
On the 9th day of February,
1S65, at the age of 17 years, Mr.
Bosworth enlisted as a private in
Co. C, 52nd regiment of Wisconsin
Infantry and was honorably dis
charged on the 2Sth day of July of
the same year at Fort Leaven
worth, Kansas. On November 19,
1871, he was united in marriage to
Susan McCulloch at Plattsmouth,
and to this union were born seven
children, six of whom survive. One
son, Ira Alanson, passed away on
July 15, 1906. The remaining child
ren are James M., Lester T., Harriet
E., Lucy, Frances and Grace. He is
also survived by a loving wife, nine
grandchildren, two great-grand
children and a host of friends.
Mr. Bosworth was a charter mem
ber of the Grand View Christian
church, later uniting with the Bap
tist church of Wabash of which he
was a faithful member until his
death.
The funeral service was held on
last Thursday, June 5th, from the
Baptist church at Wabash, by Rev.
W. A. Taylor, of Union. Interment
was in the Weeping Water cemetery.
Prom Tuesday's Daily
This morning the persons who
were standing near Fifth and Main
street were treated to a near thrill
that for a few moments caused the
spectators to feel that they were go
ing to see an auto accident just like
you read about every Monday morn
ing in the Sunday caurualty list, but
alas, the thrill was lacking and the
item spoiled. T. II. Pollock was
backing his car into the street from
the parking space in front of the
Farmers State Bank when a car
driven by Bert Byers came up Main
street from the east and the result
was that the two cars met and Mr.
Pollock's car striking the front fen
der of the Byers car, caused one of
the tires of the rear wheels of the
car of Mr. Pollock's to be torn off.
E. II. Wescott who was standing
nearby however had a very close call
rfom being squeezed in the collision.
