Celebrated GSth. Birthday ... . Stewart Rough was born on . De cember 3, 1863, at New Albany "In diana, during the Civil war, and after a few years there, the parents came to Lafayette, where Mr. Rough and the parents resided until he was 14 years of age, or in 1877, when they moved to Nebraska and settled near where the town of Xehawka is now located, although there was no Xehawka here then cr any prospects of one. It will be 55 years this coming spring, and in all these years, Mr. Rough has resided in this immediate locality. Here he was married and the children were born and grew to maturity. During the past 15 years, they have resided in town and with the children grown, they were able to see much of the country, taking many trips in the pa3t ten years. Mr. and Mrs. Rough quietly cele brated the passing of his birthday on last Sunday at their home, being visited and greeted by their children and grandchildren. While they are both near the age of three score, ten, they are enjoying good health and the associations of their many friends. Quarry lively Place The Olson stone quarry is a lively place at this time, they having re ceived an order for 1G car loads of stone, which put all of the twenty employees on their toes and work ing like beavers to get the order out on time. With the tractor outfit busy stripping the ground, the drillers at wo;k and others loading the stone, it Iook3 like an important Industry for Xehawka. Still, all are hoping this initial order is just a beginning. fcr there will be a. great deal of rock used by tne government in river work during the next ten years, and inrsmuch a3 the stone has met the federal requirements, it seems that the hepe is about to be realized, and orders will follow orders as the rip rrr: work progresses in the vicinity of Cmaha and later further down stream to Kansas City. This is fine, as it provides employment at this time of year for many who would otherwise be cut cf work and assists in main taining the family budget. Has Eesn Very Poorly Chester Chappell, who has been afflicted with a number of boils dur ing the past few months, has been ur.abls to check the trouble, although he has seemingly done everything pos sible to try to bring about a cure and avoid further spread of the "Job's comforters." The more recent de velopments have indicated possible contamination of the blood and the young man has been taken to a hos pital in Omaha, where he Is now be ing treated in ,the hope that his health may be restored and the blood stream cleared up. Gets Fine New Car The needs of Walter J. Wunderlich have necessitated the purchase of a new car and this time he has select ed a Plymouth sedan, which he pur chased from the Clarence Hanson agency and with which he is espec ially well pleased. Found Time Heavy cn Hands William Brandt and Eugene Fitch, cf near Xehawka, were among those selected a3 jury veniremen for the present term cf district court, being held in Plattsmouth, and so hustled up to get their corn picking out of the way. They appeared at the time of calling the jury, and after the selection of twelve men from among their number to hear the Daniels murder case, they were excused and permitted to return home, but as they had the corn out and nothing particular to do, they found time heavy on their hands and hardly knew what to do while awaiting re call and the prospect of being picked to hear some of the many other jury cases up for trial this month. Eeceived Fractured Nose While Superintendent Stimbert, of the Xehawka schools, was engaged in practice with the basketball team, he was struck by a swiftly passed ball, which struck with such force as to cause a fracture of his nose. He immediately went to the office of Dr. Walters, where the injury was treated. Since that time, he has been getting along very nicely, although he would not relish a repetition of the accident.
