Fourth Of July.

rovul good time. Tell your
friends in the surrounding towns
and ask them to come and cele
brate with us.
A fine program for the entire
day is being prepared and no
expense or energy will be spared
to make this a grand celebration.
It vill be a day full of pleasure.
Lay your business and cares
aside for a day , come and cele
brate and enjoy it with us. The
best band in southeastern Ne
braska. Harnack's Military band ,
will furnish music. You can chase
k
|
" ir the greased pig , watch the foot
\ . , races , ball games , drills , in fact
j enjoy amusements too numerous
to mention. Be sure to come.
With the City Council.
At the regular meeting ot the
city council Monday night the
sidewalk and the water ques
tions took up the entire time. It
was decided that unless the
parties whose sidewalks had
been condemned , rebuilt them
in a given length of time the
city would proceed to build them.
Notices to that effect to be given
such parties forthwith.
The petitions that have been
circulated in the different wards
praying for the submission of
the bonds tor the improvement
in water and light service were ,
presented to the mayor and
council and an ordinance was
formed calling for a special
election to submit the bond
question to the legal voters. The
ordinance was read for the first
time , Monday night. At the ad
journed meeting held Wednes
day night the ordinance came
up for a second reading after
which the council adjourned to
meet Thursday morning when
the ordinance was read for the
vthird time.
It was voted to publish the
ordidance and advertise the
election for July 10th , 1907 for
the purpose of voting bonds for
the enlargement and better
equipment of the city water
and light plant.
It is to be hoped that every
voter with the best interests ot
his town at heart will be on
hand to vote for the bonds. The
inadequacy of the present plant
has been'explained fully during
the last year , many times and
the trouble for several weeks
ith thelights last winter ought
i > have been proot conclusive.
The light plant is too weak
t-i be taxed further and those
ho want them in their homes
* 511 have to be denied , thus de-
I riving the city of one source of
levenue.
The machinery is old and worn
out and is constantly , being re
paired with constantly increas
ing expense. A'live up-to-date
town like Falls City needs and
must have up to date equipments
Vote for the bonds , put the
plants on a better basis so that
they will bring a better revenue
to the city treasury , gain for
yourself , better protection
against fire , and light your town
so that it will be second to none.
By voting for the bonds you
show the spirit of prideprogress
and development every good
citizen should have in this city.
Remember the date July 10th
work unceasingly and vote for
the best interests of the com
munity.

Before adjournment the fol
lowing preamble and resolution ,
prepared by S. C. Hariow , was
read and unanimously adopted
is a slight token of respect to
.he memory ol the honored
president ol the Old Settlers
Association :
Whereas , It has pleased the
Almighty God to remove from
our midst our honored president ,
Tolin M. Brockman , therefore ,
> e it
RESOLVED , that we deeply
deplore this sad loss , realizing
that it is well nigh irreparable ,
Mr. IJrockman having aided in
.he organization of this society
.wenty-two years ago , was elec
ted ils first chief officer , and
from that day to the day of his
death he was never known to
niss an opportunity to advance
.he interests of the society and
by his untiring efforts to advance
the interests of the Old Settlers
Association he so endeared him-
sell to its members that he was
ever their unanimous choice for
eader , and while we remelnber
with pleasure our long associa
tion with a life so noble , yet it
makes us only the more concern
ed about the future of our asso
ciation realizing that , his place
will be hard to fill.
As a friend to churches , to
schools and to all the move-
nents for the betterment of our
people , our president was ever
working in the lead , and we feel
that Richardson County is a
better place to live because of
the forty years residence in it
of one whose loss we so deeply
mourn. To his family we ex
tend our warmest sympathy ,
realizing that our loss though
ever so great , is only second to
offer our opinion that one living
a life so noble and grand on this
sphere will be permitted to be
with his loved ones in the eter
nal realms of Glory.

time unless aiuther hemorrhage
occurs.

linished his work and the figures
; ie gives out in his report are
i decided credit to old Richard
son County. The actual increase
in value of personal property is
$607,580 and in real estate $80 ,
000. In personal property the
largest item is in notes and cash
on hand , $160,495. He also
states that Falls City has made
the greatest increase. Well that
doesn't look as though Richard
son county and Falls City are sc
slow. The knockers can't have
much to say in the face of those
figures and statements made b.y
the assessor.
In as prosperous a county ai
Richardson to be the town tc
make the greatest increase ac >
cording to size doesn't look as 51
the town is dead as the knocker *
say. If so its a pretty liveh
corpse to make good in this man *
ner and there is every-indicatior
that the next year means ever
greater increase. As a count }
and city we feel proud of tin
amount turned into tne state
Treasure by treasure Lord am
of the fine increase in both tin
county and the city.
