AT THE BUSINESS COLLEGE
THE YEAR S TERM OPENS MON
DAY, AUGUST 30.
Prof. H. L. Darner, a Man of Great
Experience Has Charge of
Well Known School.
The Business College school year
will start Monday, August 30th -a
i week previous to the starting of the
' city schools.
The college will he conducted in the
Wahl building. The place has been
cleaned and papered, blackboards
hn.i been arranged in position and
the room will make a pleasant one for
| the purpose.
I Falls City affords a Business col
leg.', such as few towns, if any, of
Its size is fortunate to possess. Prof.
II. li. Darner, who will bt> in charge
is a self-made man, having been born
on a farm in Southeastern Nebraska
and receiving the customary educa
tion of a farmer lad. Ills first school
| ing was secur. t! under difficulty, bo
j ins forced to drive five miles in the
l winter time to a high school, and
I then to take a nine months’ course
of study in six, on account of it not
being possible for him to start when
school opened.
After graduating from the high
school he attended the Northwestern
Professor H. L. Darner.
Business College of Beatrice, Nebr.,
where lie taught several months, af
ter graduating from that school.
Ills next experience as an Instruct*
• ii' was at Superior, VVis., where he
had several departments in a business
college. Feeling tin1 need of actual
business experience, he resigned his
position in this college to act as hook
keeper and cashier for a large firm.
Getting the actual business experi
ence he desired, he put the finishing
touches to his education by graduat
ing from the Zanerlan college of Col
umbus, Ohio, with the highest grade
of any student who ever graduated
from that school during its twenty
five years existence. After gradu
ating, his ability was desired in the
school and for three years he taught
in all branches of the institution.
During his employment there he con
ducted a Y. M. C. A. night school.
Mr. Darner has since been assist
ant editor of the Business Educator,
one of the foremost educational jour
nals in the country.
Nearly every state in the Union con
tains instructors in business colleges
who were once Mr. Darner’s pupils.
Recently he had charge of the
penmanship department at the teach
ers’ institute in this city, where two
periods each day were conducted. To
show the interest taken in these
classes,there were many of the teach
ers who made a special effort to at
tend Dotli periods. No department
was given greater attention than was
tli is one.
These few remarks concerning the
qualifications of Mr. Darner, we deem
necessary to prove our first assertion
that few, if any, towns the size of
Fails City afford such excellent op
portunities for a business education.
Mr. Darner will be assisted in the'
work by his wife, who is amply qual
ified for her departments.

OLD SOLDIER GONE
John Plybon, Veteran of The Civil
War, Passed Away Last Week.
John Plybon, another veteran of
the Civil war, passed away last week,
and was buried by ills comrades of
the Grand Army, the funeral be
ing on August 19th, at the G. A. It.
hull, Rev.“Hattie Muugor, president of
the W. It. C. officiating.
John Plybon was seventy-five years
old. He was born in West Virginia.
He enlisted at the age of twenty
eight in Co. G. 11th Penn. Infantry,
on August 17, JS62, and served in the
army of the Potomac until th6 close
of the war, being mustered out near
the city of Washington on May 31,
1865.
He was with O n. Burnside at the
battle of Fredericksburg. He cross
ed the Rappahannock river early in
the morning of the battle on the pon
toon bridge, and was in the thick of
the fighting, at one time being in the
town Fredericksburgh. At night lie
recrossed the river on, the pontoon
bridge. He was with Gen. Hooker
at the battle of Chancellorsville, and
he was with Gen. Mead at the bat
tle of Gettysburg!!, being in the first
days ngnung, in which his regiment
was so badly cut up that it could not .
be used again in this battle.
He was with Gen. Grant at the
seige of Petersburg!!, a good portion
of the time being engaged in building
corderoy roads of forest trees and
building breastworks. At the blow
ing up of Fort Fisher, he was near
enough to have a rifle ball upset his
tin cup in which he was making cof
fee at a camp fire. He was also in
the engagements around Appommat
tox, and took part in the Grand Re
view of the army at Washington at
the close of the war.
During all his army life he was
never wounded or taken prisoner, but
was seriously sick on several occa
sions. At one time when in the hos
pital, the soldier on an adjoining cot
died, and when the dead soldier was
measured for a coffin, the officer said
they had just as well take his meas
ure also as he would bedoad before
morning. But he lived, to do more
fighting with his regiment for his
country.
He moved to Falls City in 1903, but
being old and infirm he lived a re
tired and quiet life, and but few
other than his near neighbors and
old army comrades became acquain
ted with him.
All who knew him respected and ad
mired him as a man who had made
good as a soldier and a citizen, and
who 'Will be missed by liis old army
comrades.
Irish Hospitality.
John Kanaly got a telephone from
his nephew, Rob, saying he and his
wife and baby would come down if
there wasn’t toQ much company al
ready. “Come orif,*’ says John, “there
isn’t any one here.” But by the
time supper was ready other folks be
sides Rob’s had arrived until with
home folks there were twenty-five
for supper, welcome but unluokcd for
guests. However true Irish hospital
ity was equal to the occasion and all
had a jolly time.—Rulo Register.
