To Give Second Book Review On Wednesday Night The second of the series of four book reviews to be given in the Presbyterian church by the Women's Federation of the church will be presented Wed nesday evening, October 22. Mrs. Loren C. Klopp of Omaha will be the reviewer. Originally scheduled to re view the book, "Hope of the Earth", Mrs. Klopp has decided to use a different selection. She has chosen to give "House Di vided" by Ben Ames Williams wh:ch she feels is a more worth while story. House Divided" is a novel of the Civil War. It is the story of the decline of an aristocratic family, the Currians. The plot is lively and carries the reader through the war years of decline and delusions of grandeur. The corruption, mismanagement and profiteering which history re totes are brought out by the au thor of the book who gives con vincing accounts of that epic period. Airs. Klopp is president of the Midwest Book Reviewers guild. Songs of Stephen Foster at PEO Meet The PEO chapter met Friday night at the home of Mrs. Frank Cummins.

Abstracts of Title "Title Insurance" Plattsmouth, Nebraska hunting with an Plattsmouth mm l County Historical Society Meets At Louisville adoui ou people were at the meeting of the Cass County His torical society last Wednesday pon. The meeting was held in the Louisville hotel. Dr. G eorge unmore, Murray, presided. A. L. Tidd, Plattsmouth, was in charge of the program. Discussing the history and de velopment 6f Louisville, several interesting facts the members brought out. Gardner Power built the first dwelling house in Louisville. He and John W. Kirk received patents from the gov ernment for the land on which Louisville was located. Arthur Stander, one of the so ciety's directors, gave much in formation relative to the devel opment of Louisville.. It was re vealed that by an act of the ter ritorial legislature, approved Febr. 13, 1857, the village was incorporated and the official nsme given it was the "City of Louisville." A discussion of the churches showed that tfie First Methodist Episcopal church was begun in 1878 when the first class was or ganized in the home of G. W. Cleghr,Ti, with the Rev. W. R. Jones presiding. The congrega tion increased and services were held in various locations until 1881 when the Baptist church was moved to Louisville. The Methodists arranged to use that building until six years later when they bought a building for themselves. This latter was used until 30 years ago when the pres ent church building was erected. The first physician was Dr. John J. Waterman. Credited with surveying and laying out the town was Captain James T. A. Hoover. He was the first post master and was later elected to the legislature. Attorney D. O. Dwyer, Weep ing Water, addressed the group, urging expansion of membership to include all sections of tho county. Twar musical numbers were given. The Reverend Jacobson, Louisville, sang a sacred selec tion. Frank Cloidt, Plattsmouth, sang an old favorite, "Annie Laurie." He was accompanied by Mrs. H. F. Goos.
