All Had a Mind to Work
Like in the time of Nehemiah,
when he with the Israelites returned
from Babylon and rebuilded the walls
of Jerusalem and the temple, the

ter service of the building and ac

Have Interesting: Tweeting
The annual rally day of the two
hurches at Union was held on last
Sunday. They both had separate
gatherings at their respective houses
of worship during the Bible school
hour, and following that they all re
paired to the Baptist church, where
they enjoyed the discourse by the
Rev. W. A. Taylor, and ttten follow
ed the dinner, which was served caffe
teria style and which all enjoyed to
the fullest extent. Following the
dinner an afternoon meeting was
held, at which the Rev. W. II. Beebe,
pastor cf the Methodist church, gave
the discourse, and which was well
enjoyed.
The matter of the two churches of
Union getting together for their ral
ly day looks good to us. There is a
big job ahead of the churches, not
alone in Union, but all over the coun
try, and why not get after this work
in unison, instead of as in many
places, pulling apart? The devil has
get to be licked and the most effect
ive way is to double teams on him
and give it to him, hip and thigh.
C. W. Clarke Still Poorly
West Clarke, who has been in poor
health for some time and who under
went a critical operation in the hos
pital at Omaha last week, is still
there and in a very serious condition.
However, he is putting up a strong
battle, considering the run-down con
dition he was in and is hopeful of
being able to win out soon
Mrs. Clarke and son Ira were over
to see him on Sunday and found
him suffering greatly, but evincing a
slightly better general condition and
with every day better prospects of
victory over the dread disease. The
many friends of this sturdy Ameri
can are hoping that he may soon be
able to return home and be well
again.
Get the Ferry Now
It was reported at the meeting of
the Union Business Men's club, that
it was possible to get a ferry across
the Missouri river on the line of the
O street road, by making a road
thereto, thus giving an outlet for the
travel going, directly east and in fact
all leading to Iowa from the west, as
at the present time travel has to de
tour to either Plattsmouth or Ne
braska City, thus throwing them out
of their line from twenty-five to
forty miles.
There is a party who would like to
establish a ferry there and haa re

Eed Cross to Meet.
The annual meeting of the Amer
ican Red Cross win be held Oct 15,
S p. m. at Murdock in the gymnasium

ing. This invitation is extended to our

ion, Business Men's club and any
one interested.
The Cass County chapter Amer
ican Red Cross, is trying to promote
.some program in our county mai
might benefit a great number of our
citizens and it is believed a first
aid class in every town in our coun
ty would be worth while. This has
been tried successfully in other
places. A class of twenty men and
women at Wabash, Neb., received
this instruction given by a physician
in a neighboring town. Well worth
the time. Let us go to Murdock Oct.
15th. A. ROBB, Local Chairman.

Christian Citizenship. Mrs. Harris
was assistant hostess. The meeting
opened with singing "Onward Chris
tian Soldiers" followed by prayer by
Mrs. Garrison. The business meet
ing was conducted. A report of the
County Convention at Eagle was
given by Mrs. Ivan Balfour. Appro
priate bible verses were read. Prom
inent citizens views were given aa
taken from leaflets and magazines.
The duty to enforce the law should
be the duty of every American citi
zen. Many women do not know court
procedures but should attend court
and find out. Instances were given
what Christianity and prohibition is
doing in Japan, India, Italy, Eng
lang and Germany. Other nations
are watching America. The Cana
dian and America prohibition is a
great issue aa well as in Mexico,
Canada and Mexico are so close to
us that we hope prohibition w.ill
soon be in enect tnere. An ariicie
was given on the Pawnee Indians.
How the reservations are for prohib
ition. Of a prominent policeman in
a large town, snowing now mucn
good one in authority can have over

were gleaned from this lesson. We
should practice the Golden Rule un
to all mankind. The meeting closed
with the Lord's Prayer and delic
ious refreshments were served. A
box was sent for the rummage sale
at headquarters in Lincoln. Five
members attended the County Con
