DlEp.-Mrs. Marlla Case died at
the home of her son VIM. Case in
this city, last night at the advanced
age of oS years. Suffering from n
spinal complaint, she has been u
helpless invalid for over two years,
and the unceasing attention OF her
husband, who is in his 74,h year,
during that time, has been n striking
example of devotion. Her death
was very peaceful, and n relief from
long suffering. The funeral will be
held at 10 o'clock tomorrow from
the house.
The druggist who reported 1877
liquor sales for July had an improved
business in August. One of the
practicing physicians informed us
that he thought there was more ILL
ness in August than in any other
month this year, but it could hardly
be supposed that the sales of liquor
would increase 80 per cent. The
pharmacist aforementioned reports
in August 27o sales. The season
approacheth when the ardent is used
rs a cure for frost bites, when its
dcspensation may know no limit.
BY the appointments OF the Des
Moines Conference, which closed
its session in Council Bluffs Monday.
Rev. j. w. Bot is located at Lewis
Cass county, and Rev B. Harris
is assigned to Audubon. Rev. Bot |
has filled out the longest term per-
missable under the itincrant system
Of the NJ. L. church, which speaks
more for his qualities as pastor
than any words OF passing comment.
1t is the united wish OF the people Of
Audubon that his new field may
prove in every way pleasant. Rev.
l.. &. Burling will FIJI the charge at
Extra Rev. l.. &. Tabor is assigned
to the Audubon Circuit.
The new hose cart was received by the
fire company Monday evening, and its
general fitness was tested at Manning yes.
terday. Without any preparation the
team went to Manning and entered the |
contest, more intent upon making the
Manning fair n success than winning
prizes. When they arrived on the ground |
and were confronted by the array OF teams
from other towns any lingering hope of
gaining prize which they may have en-.
tertained was quickly diSpelled. The Per.
~ team was large one, and Manning had
an army OF twenty four on the tongue.
But the Audubon team In spite Of the su.
perior advantages of their competitors took
second money, $50, making the run in
Just five seconds more time than the
Manning team that took first prize with
some twcnty.iour men on the tongue.
The result is especially creditablc to the
Audubon team and is assurance that with
little practice they could help themselves
to the best prizes the state affords.
The State Register of the nth
inst. in reporting the awards Of pre-
miums by the officers of the State
Fair, makes an error in crediting
Mrs. G. II. Hill, OF Des Moines,
with receiving first premium on a
japanese silk quilt in class 1874.
Mrs. Frank Gleason ofthis city, was
awarded and now has in her possess
ion the first premium card for Japa-
nese silk quilt, and just how the err
roncous report could have been made
does not appear. The Des Moines
lady was on the ground when the
first award was made, and it is said
by one who was there, did not at
tempt to conceal her displeasure with
the awards, or her opinion of the
committee. 1t was doubtless an er.
ror made in the general haste of pro.
ceedings, and without intended par
TALLY. However, we are quite
proud that an Audubon lady should
receive the first premium at the great
state fair and think she should ra
