brings down "the figures," and so

f..r Plattsmouth in point of geographical
dimensions. She is not fenced in. and
consequently her size is only-limited by
the amount of.space left vacant by other
aspiring towns.
The editor of the Brownville Democrat
has been all th way to Nemaha City,
alone, a distance of six or eight miles
and makes the trip the subject for a half
column article. The Democracy of that

road sometime, and they would lose him
entirely.

Let us whisper in your ear. in all coc-
fidence, that if you want a foothold in
the soon to be important city of the
Missouri river, you had better secure
property in Plattsmouth now. It is all
very nice to talk about Omaha being al
ready a great city, and about her having
the Pacific railroad, etc., but the day is
not far distant when the travel and
freight of tl.o U. P R. R. will be landed
in Plattsmouth instead of Omaha

Friend Walton:
Agreeably to my
promise tb you when
here, I write you, for
publication if you sec
proper, a true state
ment of the good e
fects of Roback's
Stomach Bitters upon
myself. I had been
troubled with
indi-lon-with
gestion for a
time, attended
severe headache.par
ticularly a ft creating,
when fortunately an
old soldier friend
came-into the store
and recommended me
to use Roback's Bit
ters. I did so by tak
ing a small wine-glass
full just before each
meal, and to my great
joy I was relieved at
once, and am now
well by their use. I
would not be without
them at any price. I
have not taken any
other medicine since
I commenced using
the Bitters. And 1
can say with a clear
conscience, try Mo
back's Bi iters they
will do all they are
recommended to do
if taken according
to directions.
Yours truly,
