Massie, who parsed his S5th birthday anniversary last July 31st, this year, was visiting in Weep ing Water and said he was expecting to attend the county fair a number nt days during the week. Mr. Massie rame to Nebraska in 1860, coming via Missouri, and vividly recalls pass ing through that state, that at a place where they stopped over night. they traveling by horse and covered wagon, he met some little boys about his own age, he being six years old, and as they were playing, a carriage drew up, and out stepped a tall, lank. angular man and addressed the boys, saying: "Say, aren't all you boys democrats?" They did not respond readily, being slightly backward and bashful, until he turned to the car riage and took out some nice red apples and said all who are demo crats may have one of these red apples. They were all democrats in an instant. Just why Honest Abe took this tactic was a puzzler as he was looking for republican votes as this was his first campaign for the presidency. However he was elected. and Mr. Massie wondered just why Lincoln took this plan of getting acquainted with the lads and like wise their parents. Mr. Massis has many early day stories which are very interesting. G?orge Olive Not So Well. George Olive has been feeling rath er poorly, so bad some of the time that it was not possible for him to get about, although at other times he was able to get out and about. While feeling some better, he is still not in his former good health. Passing: of Former Citizen.

He was 66 years old. Had Very Unique Exhibit. The Binger Lumber company with an idea' of assisting in the celebra tion of the opening of the Platte river bridge, made a miniature bridge which they took to Louisville on a truck, which showed a bridge over the Platte river and which was closed by a ribbon, which at the proper time during the ceremonies was clipped by a young lady, and thus connecting the two counties with a free bridge. Weeping Water in many way worked hard to make the Louisville celebration the suc cess it was. iouisvuie also leeis grateful for the kindly -feeling and assistance which their sister city of Weeping Water had shown them. To Return to the Farm. Lyle Fleming and family who a few years ago decided to quit farm ing and engage in other activities had a sale at the farm southeast of Weeping Water and departed for Los Angeles, California, where they found employment.
