A very agreeable rain fell on this
county Sunday and Monday. While
there have been complaints of
drouth from other sections, crops
here have not suffered, but the
showers were opportune. Corn is
good stand, has healthy hue, and
altogether promises one OF the best
crops the county has ever produced.
A good many fields will be "laid by"
by the grid, so that farmers will cele-
brate with happy hearts.
Matt Matthews was up from Ex-
ira Tuesday. He will remove with
his family to his old home in Indi-
ana next week to remain perma.
nently. He thinks he would rather
live and die Hosier than dwell in a
state upon which the sun of the adj
ministration does not shine. During
his residence in this county he has
gained an enviable reputation as a
young man of ability and high char
acter, and his removal will be re-
GREETED by all.
K. O. Holmes returned Monday
evening from Kearney, Nebraska,
where he had been preparing for
the removal of his family to that
place. He has purchased residence
property and book and stationery
store which he will conduct
in connection with his law
practice. Their removal takes an
able and conscientious man from
Audubon's business circles, and in
the retirement of Mrs. Holmes the
public school loses one OF its most
faithful and efficient teachers. They
remove to Nebraska next week.

John F. Consigny has greatly
improved his residence property by
Encouragement. The building has
been raised three feet, and a new
foundation of brick placed un-'
der the entire structure. A spacious
kitchen has been added, which with
the Encouragement of the interior
completes one of the most conven-
lent dwellings in the city. The lot
has been graded to correspond with
the elevation of the house, and when
cultivated will make handsome
lawn. Mr.. Consigny now has one
of the neatest residence pro perties
on Tracy street, and we mayi say in
Audubon.
