us that among his trees he has p varieties
of cherries and 16 varieties of plums and

place is artistically adorned with foliage

The clerk has placed county road
notice in the Platte County Times for
publication. He undoubtedly claims to
have the right to place them where he

contested. The board designated the

lication Of all such notices, and it will
soon be seen who is the biggest man

The notice appears elsewhere in this

Dodge county farmer, giving his check
for them. After he started with them
for Omaha the farmer found ont that
the check was worthless. took the pas
