day. This Office acknowledges a
pleasant call.
DR.. J. F. Cloughly and {. H.
Colson went to Chicago Tuesday to
select large stock Of wall paper for
the Audubon markets. Mr.. Colson's
artistic ability will serve god pur-
pose i'll the selection, and fine dis
play Of wall paper and decorations
may be expected at the Doctors
store on their return.
The Audubon teachers held
meeting last Wednesday evening in
the High School building, and dis
cussed the subjects OF primary read.
ing and elementary division. Here
after these meetings will be on the
first and third Wednesday Of each
month. Directors and patrons arc
cordially invited to be present.
Rev. !. A. Bartlett returned Sat.
urday evening from Centerville,
where he has been holding a two
weeks series of meetings, and his la
bors have been rewarded by great
awakening. The organization there
is large one, with wealthy and in.
tluential members, and withal in a
aourishing condition. The erection
of new aud elegant cdfice in the
early spring is contemplated.
The Banner grocery shipped
eighty-seven cases OF eggs during
the month of March. During the
winter they packed SASS pounds of
dressed poultry. Their introduction
OF the poultry business has brought
many extra dollars INTO the Golfers
OF the farmers, for they are in this
way warranted in paying larger
prices than when shipments are
made only to western markets.
Prof. L. II. Turner has returned
from Henry county, and is accom-.
panied by his bride. They have
settled in Melville township, where
Mr. Turner will direct the yang
idea and tickle mother earth. Mr..
I. is one of the best of the county's
many good teachers, and has large
circle of friends in Melville, with
whom THE REPUBLICAN joins in
wishing him pleasure and prosperity
in the bands of matrimony.
The l.. and d. Club have received
their boxing gloves, and some Of
the boys are carrying scars from en-.
counters with their superiors in the
art. Howard Bartlett has much the
advantage by reason OF former exper-
fence, and can play an aggravating
rap-a tap on the nasal appendage of
any OF his chums. However, the
boys stand the punishment nobly and
propose to learn the manly art
though with much tribulation.
County Surveyor Wattles return.
cd Monday from Audubon township,
where he had been making an oiiici.
al survey of the township. The cor.
rect location of the section lines
there have long been in dispute, and
land holders have often been before
the courts in hopes OF reaching II set.
dement,. AT the January session Of
the District Court Mr.. Wattles was
authorized to to make a survey and
terminate the controversy. The in
habitants OF that township should be
congratulated that the lines are now
definitely established, and the little
aggravations, which SO often lead TO
tedious and expensive litigation, abol.
ished.
There is now every reason to be.
lieve that winter with its ills and
chills will soon be over. Ii the
weather clerk has particle of COM
passion on the race and on the mini.
mum coal heap shrinking in the
corner OF the average bin he will
certainly turn the tide of the cold
wave and allow its zephers to chill
the shores of some far distant cline.
Farmers are making ready tor the
work about the farm, and If no more
storms ensue their operations will
soon be under way. Only few
pleasant days will be required to
place the ground in fit condition for
blowing. The beautiful autumn of
IS gave large crop of fall blowing,
with which assistance the farmer will
begin his work advantageously, and
as present appearances Indicate, in
good time.
We are in receipt OF the second
quarterly publication OF the Atlantic
District Reporter, published In the
interests of the M. L. Church. IL
is neatly printed, and reflects credit
on the Messenger Office, from which
it emanates. Regarding the church
work here it compliments the labor
of J. w. Bot, as follows: Audubon,
whilst this is being penned, is in the
midst Of a gracious work. This UNI
doubtly will be, at an early day, one
Of of the leading stations OF the con-
ference The missionary convention
was very great blessing to the
charge. Audubon circuit has been
organized. The field is fruitful and
promises well. What it needs is
earnest tilIing to make it an excel,
lent circuit. About thirty have been
gathered into the church.
George Foster, whose ofenses
against the law were recited in the
last issue of this paper, evaded the
officers for over week, driving a
circuitous route in Carroll county.
He returned to this county and en-
tered the employ of farmer living
about three miles east of Gray,
where he was found on Sunday, the
2Ist ultimo. He was taken before
Squire Tucker, of Coon Rapids,
but change of venue was taken to
Mayor Stockwell, who bound him
