Bushberry Old Settlers
The fourth annual reunion and
picnic of Bushberry school district
took place Sundny, August 12th.
With ideal weather, some 200 peo
ple were present, and the abundance
of food prepared by the ladies, the
music furnished by the Zoz orches
tra, the singing by the 4-H club la
dies, speaking by Frank Lynch, of
Lincoln, Rev. Chenoweth, of Alvo,
and your humble scribe, made the
occasion one not soon to be forgotten.
We would mention the readings
by Mrs. John Weichel, "Reminis
cences of Bushberry" and another
reading. "Our Neighbor," by a lady
whose name we did not get, which
brought the gathering to a close.
It was voted to continue these
fratherings indefinitely. All the old l
officers were re-elected. The visitors
were treated royally and everybody
enjoyed a wonderful day.

SAVE A LIFE CAMPAIGN
Many of the auto owners of the
city and vicinity have responded to
the state "Save a Life Campaign"
which is now being conducted over
this state, by having their cars exam
ined as to the brakes, lights, steer
ing apparatus, mirror for driving and
other steps that tend to make the
car safer for the driver and the oth
er persons who may be on the high
way. The persons who have taken part
in the "Save a Life Campaign" have

YOUNG COUPLE MARRIED
AT THE BEAUTY PARLOR
The Blue and White Beauty par
lors of Mrs. Fred Vincent was the
scene of a quiet little wedding on
Wednesday evening of last
week.
when Miss Alma Summers, of Buffalo,
Kansas, was married to Fred Holland,
formerly of Chanute, but now em
ployed by the Ash Grove Lime &
Portland Cement company, as ma
chinist in Louisville.
The bride arrived from Buffalo
that day and was met at the station
in Plattsmouth. Mr. Vincent and
Mr. Holland are friends and fellow
workmen and the former invited the
young couple to be wedded at their
home.
The beauty parlor is very attrac
tively furnished in a color scheme of
blue and white and made a handsome
setting for the bridal ceremony. The
bride and groom were attended by

issued by the state as a citation of! Miss Dolly Gess and Herbert Moore,

Diller Utt and wife departed last
Sunday morning for the Ozark moun
tains in Missouri and Arkansas,
where they will spend about two
weeks, enjoying the wildness of that
country and some of it is sure wild.
Miss Katherine Neitzel, Miss Vir
ginia Kuppler and Taul Hartung,
Jr., drove to Lincoln Monday. Miss
Kuppler is engaged in school work
and wanted to see the University of
Nebraska, of which she had heard
so much.
The Rev. A. Brauchle, of Los An
geles, where he has been residing for
a number of years past, arrived in
Murdock last week and hap been vis
iting with his two daughters. Mes-
necessary, a machine wnicn is used
for the removal of tonsils. This ma

and administers ether and at the
same time removes all effects from
the bleeding- which is always insep
arable from an operation of this
kind, and by this apparatus the op
eration can be performed at one's
own home with all the expediency
and care that it is possible to receive
at the hospital, where many are tak
en for treatment.
On last Wednesday, at the home of
W. T. Weddell, Dr. Lee removed the
tonsils of Miss Irene and also those
of Miss Dorothy Gorthey, and with
as much ease as is afforded in the best
regulated hospitals, and without
pain. True, there is no guarantee
that the throat will not be sore the

always, but the length of time re-
Attend Lutheran Trinity Church
Having no preaching service at
Murdock, the pilgrims enjoyed a
fine treat at Lutheran Trinity church
last Sunday. It being the regular
quarterly communion service, some
fifty members partook of the holy
sacrament. The Rev. G. A. Zach
gave a very searching exhortation,
especially to the young communi
cants, which made a visible and
deep impression. We were especially
impressed with the fine order in
which the people went to the altar,
only eight at a time. Others could
take a lesson from this, and it would
improve the service very much. The
crowding of the people to the Lord's
table, should by all means be abol
ished; it is not a dignifiedor a rev
erent way. ' :. '
Thus was spent a very profitable
and joyful day.

Fred H. Wynn, whose place of busi
ness is just east of the Smith- Ber
ger Co., at Fourth and Main streets.
Mr. Wynn makes his examination
and if there is anything that does
not comply with the safety regula
tions he informs the owner, who has
them corrected and then the car is
again examined by Mr. Wynn and is
found to comply with the regulations
the certificate is issued and pasted
on the windshield of the car.
This' campaign is as has been said,
state wide and will be a big step to
ward safety on the highway for the
driver of the car as well as others
who may be on the highway and as
sures the car owner that the car will
operate in an emergency.
It is thought likely that the com
ing legislature will pass a law that
will make the examination of autos
at stated periods a matter of law, the
love being for a safer highway- for
the travelers.
The bride is a very charming and
attractive young lady and Mr. Hol
land is fast making a large circle of
friends in this vicinity. Louisville

The many Cass county friends of
