According to the Beatrice Sun the state bank receiver Mr. Luikhart filed suit against stockholders of The Farmers State Bank at Cortland. What we can not understand is, why all these stockholders who paid the 100% liability, are included in this suit We are glad that no accidents have been reported with traffic on the highway. Watch the stop signs at the corner. The engraving on the silver cup presented to the Cornhusker Queen, Miss Leota Young at the opening of the new highway last Saturday, was done by our local jeweler, Mr. Frommer. Our youngest son Clarence and wife and John Valek and Miss Glenna Mutchmore of Liberty, visited with us Sunday night. County sheriff Tom Dunn of Beatrice was in town Monday. Floyd Miltenberger left Wednes day for Wayne, Nebraska and will return with family, who have been visiting there. John B.
