FLY'S CREAM BALM.
Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1886-07-15
Church Street at the Front.

Church street has long been noted
for being prolific of nice children,
and in point Of numbers has borne
the palm. fit had been rivaled by
any other street the developments OF
the past week would have placed it
we'll in advance. Two births have
augmented the infant residents of
this handsome street within a week.
A bright girl was born to MIR. and
Mrs. w. A. Crane last Friday, and
Mr.. Cranes pleasure over the event
is expressed in portrait which may
be found elsewhere. On Monday
the home of Mr.. End Mrs. Frank
Fish was frightened by the advent
of girl baby. Mr.. Fish is equally
elated over the affair, but we have
been unable to secure his portrait
for this issue. We trust that he will
pardon the omission. The street is
now resting on its laurals, believing
that it is so far in advance that any
aspirations held by other streets, are
well nigh hopeless.

Audubon contributed very lightly to

Audubon contributed very lightly to
their last exhibition as fair, because
the celebration here was in progress,
and it should not be expected that
our citizens would leave home to
witness fourth class horse race.
Allowing $6.9S for preparing the
grounds; dividing the remaining
500 Of gate receipts equally between
the visiting clubs, we find that there
is in equity due the Audubon base
ball club from the Manning Fair
Association on the account Of 1886,
$50; on account of 1885, $a5; total
$500.
We do not think that the differ
ences existing are cause for any i'll
feeling between the towns of Audi
bon and Manning, and hope that
such will not accrue. The wrong
done our club of course enlists the
sympathy ofour citizens, but it is not
the feeling of this community that
the people of Manning endorse the
action OF the officers of the Fair AS
ISOLATION. Our boys cannot accept
such treatment without a protest, but
they are of one opinion in that they
believe the general public OF Man
ming condemns the treatment which
the Fair Association has rendered
them. All appreciate the friendly
feeling which has existed and Of
which Mr.. Patton writes so affect
ingly, and all hope that it may be
perpetuated, but lew such breaks
as this last one on the part of the
managers Of the Fair Association
will, we fear, tend to mar the placid
surface of the beautiful stream OF
"frricndly feeling"

 What do you think of the movement in Massachusetts for popular vote on the question of enacting prohibition into the constitution ?"
 "I think that constitutional prohibition is the last analysis of this great question on it's legal side, and it is the duty of, the many and progressive classes in all parties to give the people a chance to settle this great question at the ballot box by voting a constitutional amendment Anys party that will so far respect the, right of tue people as to declare for the submission to a popular vote will win favor and support am rejoiced to see that leading repnbh- cans in the state are in favor of such action"

A stepping figure IS not only n familiar expression of weakness or old age, but it is, when caused by careless habits, a direct cause of contracted chest and defective breathing. Unless you rid yourself of this crook while at school, you will probably go bent to your grave. There Is one good way to cure. Shoulder bnces will not help. One needs not an artificial substitute, but some means to develop the muscles whose duty is to. hold the head and shoulders erect. We know of ono bull's-eye shot A sheep-skin or other strong bag filled with twenty pounds of sand is a good weight. When engagel in your morning studies, either before or af- ter breakfast, put the bag of sand on your head, hold your head erect, draw your chin close to your neck, and wnlk slowly about the room, coming back if you please every minute or two to your book, or car- rying the book as you walk. The muscles whose duty it is to hold the head and shoulders erect are hit, not with scattered shot, but with rifle ball. The bones of the spine and the intervertebral substance will soon accommodate themselves to the new attitude. One year of daily prnctice with the bag-half an hour morning and evening-will give you noble carriage,
 without interfering moment with your studies. 'l VIZ s,'

In some New England towns it is diff cult for a stranger to know, by the com- mon mode of Undressing ladies, whether they are married or single, as the universal term "Miss" is applied to both. This should be corrected.
 Drain is pronounced drane, not dreen.
 George Eliot is the nom de plume adopt ed by Mrs. George Henry Lewes. Her maiden name was Marian Evans.
 Rose-wood-So called because it yields a perfume like that of roses when it IS cut or sawn.
 Read Psalm Eighteenth during a thun- der storm.
 Where in the scriptures is the only men, tion made of churning butter? Proverbs 30:33.
 Beautiful superstition-Among the su- perstitions of the Seneca Indians was one remarkable for it's singular beauty. When q maiden died they imprisoned a young bird until it first began to try it's powers of song, and then, loading it with messages and caresses, they loosed its bonds over her grave, ill the belief that it would not fold it's wings nor close its eyes until it had flown to the spirit land and delivered its precious burden of affection to the loved and lost.
 The recent earthquake which was of such vast import to us is but trifiing thing to the Maker of the World. Read Isaiah 40: 15, 9 also Al: IS; and as 0 verse of consolation amid these disturb ances read the tenth verse of chapter Al.
 Honey-moon-So called from the prac- tice of the ancient Teutons of drinking honey (hydromeD for thirty days af- ter marriage The drink must be similar to our metheglin. Attlla, the Hun, in- dulged so freely in hydromel at his we'd ding feast that he died.
 Hullabaloo-Uproar. Irish name for the coronach or crying at funerals. Hyacinth- to Grecian fable was the son of Amyclas, Spartan king. The lad was beloved by Apollo and Zephyr and as he preferred the sun-god Zephyr drove Apollo's quoit at his head and killed him. The blood became 0 flower, and the petals are inscribed with the boys name. Bride cake-A relic of the Roman con- farreatio, mode of mareiage practised by the highest class in Rome. It was per formed before ten witnesses by the ponti- fex maximus, and the contracting parties partook mutually of cake made of salt, water and flour. Only those born in such wedlock were eligible for the high sacred offices

The Boston Evening Record tells this story: Bishop Williams, of Connecticut, a man warmly esteemed by all sorts and conditions of men, and even more so by children, Was making one of his episcopal visitations, and was the guest of the rector of the parish he was visiting. The rector, who was rigorous man in the training of his children, had little boy six yearssold, who was great favorite with the bishop, and of whom, in turn, the bishop was much beloved. On Sunday afternoon, the bishop and the boy were left alone for 8 while in the rector's study, and were chat ting comfortably.
 'sLet us look at your picture book, ''said the bishop.
 ssAll right, ]" said the boy.
 He brought the picture book, laid 1t on the right reverend lap of his guest, aud then went furtively back and closed the study door.
 "We'il have to do it on the sly, bishop, you know P said he with b gfin.
 The next Sunday, the historian is told, the bishop preached magnificent sermon on the sin of over-righteousness.

Poem read at the fourth annual reun ion of the descendants of David Orcutt, a < aOrcnttville. Conn.,, Sept. 16, 1886. A song we sing as here we meet,
 This bright September day;.. song of love and memory,
 To cheer us on our way. No auld acquaintance we'll forget,
 But bring them to our mind For auld lang syne we meet to-day,
 And friends of auld lang syne. Three years have passed since first we met,
 As friends, both old and new, And posted up account of stock
 As fast the Orcutts grew. Our bosoms swelled with noble pride,
 So many of kind The name took on broader grace, At thought of auld lang syne. Long years have passed since first our kin,
 Old Stafford hills did find, And bade farewell with hopeful hearts, Their friends of auld lang syne. They struggled hard up ife's rough way, The soil was none too kind They battled on right manfully,
 In days of auld lang syne. They had their joys and sorrows too,
 Life kept its daily round; Why seek the height of joy they held,
 Or depth of sorrow found Beneath the sod their bodies rest, Their souls with God we'll find; Their courage, hope and faith we sing,
 In songs of auld lang syne. Their children once-our fathers now,
 Bring close the tie that binds, And youth and age here meet and find,
 The blending family lines. Not all are with us as we meet,
 Some broken strands we find; The sunny south, the western wilds,
 Hold some of auld lang syne. g.. The broken ties, the silent chords,
 Come up before our mind, More tender seems the bond of love,
 In songs of auld lang syne. ....- <! We sing the songs with hope and cheer,
 And trust our youth will find Sweet comfort in the passing years,
 When now, is auld lang syne. s.
