Friday, 12-19-1924, The Otoe Union:

"The boys in West Russell have been disposing of their furs the past week at a good price, as there is a good demand for them this season." Word was received of the death of Gustave Moss. Perry Carrel and John Golver made a business trip to western Nebraska. The Unadilla W.C.T.U. (Women's Christian Temperance Union), had a large turnout at their meeting including 15 ladies from Syracuse.

 

 Friday, 12-26-1924, The Otoe Union:

"The Federal Census of Agriculture for Otoe County will be taken soon. Enumerators selected: C.H. Webber, Syracuse; A.G. Teten, Talmage; H.R. Halvorsen, Palmyra; and W.A. Hahne, Unadilla. All persons over 18 years of age are required, under penalty, to answer to the best of their ability." Walter Liesemeyer and Christine Damme were married.

Synopsis: From the bonny shores of England comes the Styckes-Upon-Thump Repertory Theatre Company, a stuffy old traveling troupe embarking on their fifteenth annual farewell tour of the Dicken’s tale. Can the theatre troupe handle the egos of their actors, a precarious set, and constant costume changes, and still manage to redeem old Ebeneezer Scrooge by Christmas Day? A fresh twist on a timeless tale, this comedy is a festive rollercoaster of humor, perfect for those seeking a jolly good time this holiday season!

COME ON OVER!

This is the way country music started out, with acoustic instruments, before electricity.  People sat out on the lawn, on the porch, or in a friend’s house and played their instruments together.  Enjoy the originality of music which is still present in many circles of friends.
