Some readers do not seem to
understand that the publication
f lists of wedding presents and
cards of thanks come under the
head oJ pay notices and neglect ,
when sending or bringing them
in , to request a receipt iu payment -
ment for their publication.
These items are considered ad. .
vertising 'matter by all up-to-date
publishers and payment is expected -
pected for their publication , be I
cause tbe custom of para < ling a
list o wedding presents and
thanking an unknown quantity
of people who know you are
thankful , is a decidedly back
, number and those who are up
with the times don't do it.
Cards of thanks arc always about
the same wording. There are ,
on an average , 150 deaths in
Chicago every day. If a card of
thanks was published in each
case . . . the - v would fill more tban a
page of a newspaper and be
awfully monotonous reading.
Everybody knows you are thankful -
ful for favors extended b.r neighbors -
bors nd friends when vour dear
ones have been sick and died , so
there's no need of saying so In
print-unless you want to
advertise.

Something Out of the Ordinary.
A year ago last month John
Finch platted about ten acres of
ground to town lots as an addition -
dition to Arnold , a village without -
out railroud connections , 30 miles
west of this city. There are
25 lots , 100x240 feet , .and . with
the exception of four or five have
all been sold at $100 each to
private parties who have built
residenccs. This is out of the
ordinary , but the most phenom-
inal part of the deal is that there
s not , nor has there ever been , a
mortgage filed foi' record in the
register of deeds' office upon any
of the lots in the Finch addition
to Arnold. We doubt if there
was ever such another case in
the history o't Nebraska.
