The finishing cut was made at this place,
last Friday, when forty firemen and wipers

Engineer Tyler describes an enthusiastic
and withal pathetic old soldiers’ reunion he
witnessed in Hastings, the other day. There
were only ten old vets in the reunion, but they
made up in vehement remarks not complimen
tary to the present administration what they
lacked in numbers. Every man was doubtless
in the neighborhood of or over sixty years of
age, and the loss of their pensions at this time
of unusual depression and lack of confidence,
was a crushing blow to those who came to the
front in the hour of the country’s peril, and are
now properly entitled to the nation’s gratitude.

Quite a company of town folks repaired to
W. S. Fitch’s grove, a few miles southwest of
the city, yesterday afternoon, fully equipped to
enjoy a picnic. Some were frightened home,
however, by the approaching rain storm;
while the residue braved the resonant and
liquid elements, invaded the mow of Farmer
Fitch’s bam, and there amidst the new-mown
hay spread a feast fit for the gods. After the
annihilation of the feast, which was swift and
comprehensive, the picnickers expeditiously
slumped homeward, all agreeing that they had
had a high old time, you bet.
The store of J. Albert Wells is now closed
and the work of invoicing is progressing. As
soon as this is completed, which will perhaps
be tomorrow, the establishment will pass into
the hands of the new proprietor, Mr. George
E. Thompson of Omaha, who is not an entire
stranger to our people. Mr. Thompson is an
experienced merchant in both the wholesale
and retail lines, and will make an acceptable
addition to the business circles of our city.
The Tribune cordially welcomes him to
our midst. Mr. Wells expects in the near fu
ture to retire from active business to a new
home recently completed by him near New
York city.
Max Wayson had a close call, last Saturday,
while driving a gentleman from Plattsmouth,
Bennett Chiswisser, and his young son, over
to Samuel Haney’s farm in Frontier county
A few miles out they drove into a storm and
the carriage was struck by lightning. Both
horses were knocked down and did not get up
for several minutes. The occupants of the
carriage were all more or less stunned; but
the boy was the only one hurt. His shoes were
literally torn to shreds, and a long black and
blue mark, and a considerable bum, on one of
his legs, remain to show where the bolt came
in contact with his person. It was a lucky
escape all around, an experience none of them
wish to repeat.
