The members of the congregation
had come to the meeting with well
later baskets of the good things to
eat and which was the means of a
very dainty and delicious repast that
all enjoyed.
In the past year the First Chris
tian church has showed a very decided
advancement in all lines of their'
work, both in the improvement of
the financial condition of the church
as well as the spiritual advancement
in the increasing membership and the
interest shown in the work of the
church. The live and vigorous work
.of Rev. Walter R. Robb, pastor of
the church and the earnest and hearty
fo-operation of the membership has
brought the church to a plaee - of
strength and usefullness in every way
and the members of the church can
feel well pleased over the results that
they have secured for the year 1925.
The same energetic efforts are plan
ned for 1926 which it Is hoped will
surpass in every way the results of
the year Just closed and place the
church on its feet in every way and
make it one of the strongest Chris
tian churches in the state.

What is so hard as a day's work
with an aching back?
Or sharp stabs of pain at every
sudden twist or turn?
There is no peace from that dull
ache.
No rest from the soreness, lame
ness and weakness.
Many folks have found relief thru
Doan's Pills. They are a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys,
i Plattsmouth people recommend
Doan's.
W. Landis, farmer, Lincoln Ave.,
Plattsmouth, says: "Heavy work
strained my kidneys and they acted
i irregularly. The kidney secretions
' were scanty in passage, scalded and
were highly colored, too. A dull ache
settled across my back and when I
stooped to lift anything, I could hard
ly straighten. I felt weak and tired
out. After using Doan's Pills from
the Mauzy Drug store the trouble
was corrected."
Mr. Landis is only one of many
Plattsmouth people who have grate
fully endorsed Doan's Pills. If your
back aches if your kidneys bother
you, don't simply ask for a kidney
remedy ask distinctly for DOAN'S
PILLS, the same that Mr. Landis
had the remedy backed by home
testimony. 60 cents at all dealers.

WATCH PARTY AT MYNARD
From Saturday's Dally
One of the pleasant social events
that marked the New Year's season
in this locality was the watch party
held at the home of W. T. Richard
son and wife at Mynard and which
was attended by a very large num
ber of the residents of that locality,
there being some seventy-five in
the party that gathered for the
event.
After the very enjoyable luncheon
that had been arranged there were
several inspirational talks given, Rev.

The records of the county court
and the clerk of the district court
show that the marriage market a?
well as the divorce market were both
decidedly slow the past year and one
of the lowest records for years has
been set in marriage license depart
ment of the county court even though
the objectionable ten day clause was
removed from the license law by the
last legislature, the young people evi
dently shying at the efforts of Dan
Cupid or going elsewhere for the
licenses.
The number of marriage licenses
sold the past year numbered 75 as
compared with 3G in 1924, the year
of the great drouth in the marriage
license business in Nebraska. The
showing this year was better than
1924 but far below the standard of
the years past.
In the divorces granted in the dis
trict court the report discloses the
fact that there were 17 divorces filed
and granted in the court.

As the aftermath of the railroad
crossing tragedy on August 24, 1925 j
near Weeping Water, which caused j
the death of Fay Hutchison and his,
two year old son, Kenneth, two
suits aggregating $75,000 have been '
filed in the office of the clerk of the
district court in this city, against
the M. P. railroad and Don Miller.
The suits are filed by Bertha K.
Hutchison as administrator of the
estates of Fay Hutchison and Fen
neth Hutchison, deceased, ' the
plaintiff being represented in the
action by T. A. Donahue of Omaha.
The petition of the plaintiff in the

August 24, 1925, Phillip Wollen of
Weeping Water was engaged in
moving the household effects of the
Hutchison family from the farm

roadway that was used by the truck
was one that crossed the railroad
tracks of the defendant railroad
company, that the crossing was
rough and hard to travel over, that
view of the track was obscured from i
parties approaching the track from!

railroad company was at fault. It
also claimed that the railroad train j
