WYNOT -Homewood Park will open next Sunday.
This will be good news to folks all over Cedar county who enjoy spending an evening or Sunday at Cedar county’s best known summer resort, which is attaining a reputation all over the northeast section of Nebraska. A big dance with augmented orchestra, will mark the opening.
Proprietor Hoese has already commenced many improvements and plans with a number of others which will be made as soon as possible. Work on the new concrete swimming pool was started, but owing to bad weather has not yet been completed. It will be rushed to completion, however, and when finished will afford ample opportunity for bathing in clean fresh water without the danger attending bathing in the river.
Seven new cottages are being erected in the park and will enable that many more families to enjoy the benefits of camping. Some are already inquiring about camping all summer while others will remain for shorter periods. Many not able to secure cottages will live in tents. The road to the park will also be improved.
The indications are that the park will be more popular this season than at any time since it was established.

HARTINGTON - Capt. Joe Geisler is now operating a big ferry over the Missouri River to Yankton.
The boat now in use is known as the B. A. Douglass and was purchased at Chamberlain, S. D. to replace the Josie L. K. which was sunk about three months ago.
The Douglass is a much larger boat and will carry as many as 10 teams across at the same time.
But it will never have such a warm place in the heart of Cap.
Geisler as the old Josie, which he commanded for over a quarter of a century.
The landing on the Nebraska side is being made near the Clark farm.

FORDYCE — Franz Meirose, the progressive and enterprising flour, feed and salt dealer has decided to put on a sale of the various articles handled and found in his stock at extraordinarily low prices. In this issue will be found his large ad and it is full of exceptional prices on some staple articles.
In discussing his sale Tuesday he said that he had been planning for several weeks to put on a sale that would save money for his customers.
He said that he had been most liberally patronized by the people of Fordyce and he wanted in some financial way to show his appreciation.
With this thought upper most in his mind he thought the proper and most legitimate way to put on a sale that would carry such prices that his customers would receive cash saving. Read his special 10 day offer and note the remarkably low prices that he is quoting.
These prices ought to bring buyers to Fordyce for miles around. Franz has almost an unlimited supply of the stocks that he is offering but he suggests that his customers come in early as the stock will move rapidly at the prices he is quoting. People of this community know that Franz never does things by halves and know that when he says he is putting on a sale of untold magnitude he means just what he says.
