A woman walked into a Nebraska City shoe store, purchased a brand-spanking new pair of shoes, picked up her package and returned home only to find the store wrapped just one shoe.
A neighbor obliged on a trip downtown, told the clerk what had happened and picked up the other shoe. The gal got quite a start when she opened the shoe box and found a left shoe to match the left shoe she had.
Omitted from the last paragraph of happenings "up on the north 40" was the name of near neighbors, Louie and Helen Genoa, who have a brand-spanking new home bewixt CB&Q John Kroese and Lawman Harold LeGrande. I noticed the last couple of times that Louie is the fella who seems always to wash his car the day before it rains.
The contest on bids for the construction of a sewage disposal plant makes me think that this must be the first time I've witnessed anyone scraping over my sewage disposal. We had an outside privy at home when we were kids, and dad never even put a lock on the door.

Ed Lyon has started begonia, tomato and pepper plants in the showroom annex at Clemmy Holmes Motor company and has had every good luck.

Interrupting a discussion on whether to present arguments in a case before District Judge John M. Dierks, Nebraska City's police magistrate, Raymond Frerichs, told the story about the attorneys who were about to present arguments before a police judge.
The judge told the attorneys to go ahead with arguments but he had to leave and if he didn't get back before they got though they would find his decision in the right hand drawer of his desk.
A few years ago County Judge George Stanley had a white linc painted on the floor in his court room to keep defendants from leaning cn the bench while appearing in court. The judge has a much better arrangement now. A paneled railing has been built across the width of the court room.
