Mr.. and Mrs. Kimberly reside near
West Liberty, own large farm, and
are reputed to be wealthy. The
husband is said to be an extensive
dealer in fine thorough bred horses.
Mrs. Kimberly is represented as =
lady of culture, Of fine personal ap-
pcarance, and bids fair to become the
cattle Queen Of Iowa.
The above item from the Iowa
City Republican has been widely
copied owing to the recent promi-
nence of the parties referred to in
the purchase of high-bred and high

Mrs. X. do reside no: a great way
from West Liberty, but it is in Ce-

would be inferred from the item.

erty be applied to Gallatin county.
