Old Settlers
Reunion Brings
Out Old Timers
Gathering- at Union Proves Interest
ing- to the Old Time Residents
of Entire County
Forty-one years ago, when the
town of Union was young, but the
Liberty precinct was an established
institution, and had been settled by
prosperous and progressive people
for years, the idea was conceived of
getting together and celebrating the
fact of living in a good portion of
the world, the United States, Nebras
ka, Cass county and especially Li
berty precinct, and the newly es
tablished town of Union.
The idea grew and terminated
forty years ago in the Old Settlers
picnic, which was perpetuated by the
holding of one every year, and this
year on last Tiaay ana saturaay
at the picnic which has been an an
nual affair, in the old picnic grounds
met thousands of people who like in
the days of yore came to visit and
to renew the associations which have
been made the stronger by the pass
ing years. There were the amuse
ments, there always are, the rfresh-
ment stands, and the speakers and
entertainers, but best of all was the
friendly meetings of the old timers
and others who had not met for
many years. A good lime was sure
had, and the address by Governor
A. J. Weaver was listened to with
much interest. This was suppliment-
ed by a very fine program made up of
local talent and which was enlivened
by the music which was furnished
by the Farmer s Union band of Louis
ville. The success of the meeting was
n a measure caused by the working
of the committee and others who
worked very energetically to make
the gathering the success that it
was. The perpetuation of the or
ganization and its success for the
years which it has been in existence
is greatly due to the untiring efforts
of C. L. Graves, now Police Judge
at Plattsmouth, and who was on the
grounds during the afternoon and
evening on last Saturday and was
greeting his many friends or the
present as well as the past.

Bridge and Construction Co., is now
being loaded preparatory to ship
ment from this locality where for
several months the company and its
force of workmen have been engaged

lington, Missouri, where the company
has the contract for the erection of
a large bridge for a railroad com
pany spanning a deep draw near
Wellington and this work will take
several months for completion.
The bridge work here has brought
several families here to this city who
have made this city their home for
the past seven or eight months and
who have made many friends who
will regret to see them leave for the
scenes of their new activities. The
bridge workmen and their families
have been a part of the community
life and are a fine group of people
and who will be missed a great deal
by their many friends over the city
