inc. NJ. Griggs, Esq, returned
from Monrovia, Ind, Monday, hav.
ing left his father much improved in
health, and with promise Of full re-
storation.
Bert Townsend, OF Willimantic,
Conn.,, is visiting in the family of
a. F. Armstrong. He is very IA.
vorably impressed with the west, its
business enterprise and general pros
perity.
DR.. G. w. Dc Notes family ar
rived from De Soto last evening.
The household goods arrived day
before yesterday and the Doctor had
the house well arranged on the ar
rival of the family so they will inn
mcdiately enjoy the comforts of their
new home.
The Grant House has been leased
to Mr.. TAYLOR, of Atlantic, who in
tends adding largely to its furnishings
and make it even more popular than
heretofore. Mr.. Matthias will soon
start for Ohio to visit few weeks
with relatives, after which we under
stand he purposes settling on his
farm in Indiana. We regret with
the community that Audubon is to
lose so good citizen as Mr.. Ma
thias.
]. III. Kuhl, of kirkman, was in
the city yesterday looking for room
in which to place stock of goods.
He carries rather extensive general
stock of goods and only removes
from his pleasant location OH account
of room. Audubon already has
three excellent stocks OF goods, and
those carried by Mr.. Howald and
Russell n Son will aggregate a
value of $4,000. But no doubt an
other house would receive its share
OF public favor, and it would most
certainly be valuable acquisition to
Audubon's business circles.
Ben Brookfield, Of Gray, was one
of the judges of the hose races at
Manning. He says that the Audi.
bon team was awarded second premi-
um on Wednesday as well rs Thurs
day, and that he had no knowledge
of any change from that decision
until the statement was published in
the papers. The association only
gave them the prize for third place.
We have no doubt but that the
Manning Neps, so versatile in re.
sources, can explain this matter in
some unblushing way. We hope
the NezeS will tender its services in
explaining this steal without further
solicitation.

Knight Templar Banquet.

The good wives of the Knights
Templar of Godfrey Commandery
have been very busy all the week
pre- pairing a grand banquet for their
liege lords which came Off at Ma
sonic Hall last night. Nearly the
entire membership Of the comman-
derry were present anda rare social
occasion was enjoyed. The tables
were loaded with most excellent ed
ibles anu reflected much credit upon
the ladies who had is preparation
and arrangement in charge. After
supper toasts We're in order, and
met with ready aud interesting re.
sponses. The Knights were at a
later hour overcome by desire for
an initiation, and going out on the
street selected Marshal Walkup as
the lamb for the slaughter. He
was introduced to the mysteries OF
the castle in a rather informal way,
and it is reported, sub rosa, that his
regalia was somewhat distigured
during the ceremony. The affair
was grand success in every par
ticular.

Failed to Enthuse.

One A. l.. Childs emerged from a
becoming obscurity to address the
Democracy here last Friday evening.
An audience of perhaps a hundred,
with good showing of Republicans
gathered to hear the unknown gen
tlcman. The speaker eulogized the
Democracy's ideal Grover Cleveland,
and coming frop the same state he
had an apparent weakness for the
man of destiny. With all his faults
Childs loves him still. He had little
to say on state matters, and his talk
was notably void;Sof argument.
There was one faint effort to applaud.
which seemed more like the tink.
ling of a chestnut bell than an en-
dorsement OF his utterances. A New
York exponent of Democracy is a
failure on Iowa soil. 1t is one thing
in New York and another thing in
Iowa

Mr.. Mahlon Boyd and daughter
Bertha returned from Jasper county
last Thursday. They report very
pleasant trip. Mr.. Boyd says corn
will make about one-half crop in
Jasper county.
d. ]. Conkling had a dance last
Tuesday night. 1t was well attended.
Mr.. Charles Kopeski had horse
die last Saturday. 1t was the best
one he had and of course was great
loss to him.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Johnson were
over Sunday visitors with Mr.. and
Mrs. D. J. Conkling.
Mrs. John Ewing, visited with
her daughter Saturday.
Farmers are pushing the fall
blowing the past few days.
Mr.. ID. !. Conklin built kitchen
to his residence lately. Good for
you, Nick.
Some farmers are quite busy husk-
ing corn.
John Alt finished sowing his rye
the other day.
Samuel Spears finished manufact-
uring molasses Saturday. He says
he has made something less than
1000 gallons this f,ll.
Mr.. Mahlon Boyd went to Elk
horn on Sunday last.
We wonder what takes a certain
young man of this place, up near
Audubon every Sunday. Why is
it William?

A Time that Tried Women's Souls

One afternoon last week lady OF
this city was entertaining a few OF
her lady and gentlemen friends at
tea and no doubt anticipated no little
pleasure in being able to allow them
to use for the first time an elegant
set of silver knives and forks, which
had been very recently presented by
her husband. AS the supper hour
drew near the hostess and her hired
help were preparing the meal, and
while the former was in the act OF
taking the box containing the new
knives and forks from their place OF
keeping bclated guest arrived and
rang the door bell. Fastening to
admit the guest Mrs.-the lady OF
the house handed the box to her as
sistant. After admitting the guest
she returned to the kitchen, and not
seeing the knives and forks asked
the girl what she had done with tina!
box. Not knowing the contents OF
the box, or perhaps in state of alb.
sent mindedness the girl had put it
in the stove and on inquiry prompt.

Market Day at Audubon.

The selection Of one date in each
month as market day has proven
such an accommodation to the peo-
pie of localities where it is in vogue
that Its introduction here has been
advocated by many Of the citizens of
this place and surrounding county.
To comply with this growing de-
mand Mr.. b. q. Foreman has con-
cluded to make his large feed stable
on Washington street headquarters
for all who have stock, implements,
household goods or anything they
may wish to dispose of at public
auction. The first Saturday in each
month, commencing on Nov. 9th
will be devoted to this purpose, and
to assure successful sales at satisfac-
tory prices he has secured the SER
vices Of VIM. Mallory, as auctioneer.
No place could be found about the
town so well adapted to this pur-
pose as Mr.. Foreman's feed stable.
The main barn is substantial one
and will afford safe storage to any
goods left there for keeping. His
feed barn is built around q hallow
square and gives protection from
storms and wind, no matter from
what direction they may come.
The large yard gives ample space
for vehicles while people may be in
other portions of town on business
and whatever may be LETT there is
safe from the clutches of wandering
miscreants or mischevious boys.
Rates for feed are so cheap that no
farmer can afford to allow his team
to stand in the street or storm while
he is trading. And all who have
stock or goods to sell, especially In
small quantities, will find this the
cheapest, most convenient and al.
together satisfactory manner of do
ing so.

Our worthy sheriff went home
last Saturday to find young man
there with a large picture Of a
groupe of persons, purporting to
have been painted in India ink.
Friend William admired the work
and opinionated that it was good
likeness of Geronimo and his gang,
and inquired of the stranger if it
was taken Immediately after the
capture, whereupon the agent made
the startling revelation that it was a
fac smile of the sheriff and his fam
lily. He further stated that it had
been made from photograph and
by the order of n member of the
household, and being in a hurry to
catch the afternoon train he would
--a-hem!-like to have about $40
the price Of the work. A plan to
put the agent in one of the cells in
the Jail and then when night came
on to tie a grindstone upon his neck
and throw him in the raging 'Botna
quickly shaped itself in the sheriff's
mind, and might have been executed
had he not spied neighbor coming
to the house, when he hurriedly
handed the agent a Sac sinner,
hustled him out of the house and the
picture to the attic. Mr.. &. c. Har-
per, the skillful artist in DR..
Cloughly's studio, does better work
than was ever imported by a copy
ing house, and at moderate prices.
While we have such skill at home,
one who voluntarily becomes the
victim Of foreign sharks can hardly
expect sympathy.

IT is very gratifying to the people
of Maryland to know that the great
B. & o. Railroad is most prosperous.
The increase in its revenues for 1886
reached the handsome sum Of two
millions of dollars over 1885. The
B. h O. is q Maryland work, and
under its present able aud progressive
President is doing much and will do
more 10 the near future, to develope
the resources of the State.
The failure of Baltimore city to aid
the Eastern Shore railroad, leaves
that important public work open to
the enterprise of Mr.. Garrett, and
there is no reasonable doubt but tha,
be will take hold Of it very soon.

The large vote for Mr.. Henry
George for Mayor of New York has
elected . good deal of comment 10
the newspapers. The old party or.
gans are ''muchly moved 10 spirit
and fear revolution in their ranks
The working men of the country
through the public school system
have grown in knowledge add can nc
longer DO led by old party tactics
yet there Is no disposition on the part
of the best minds in their ranks t.
become party leaders. They have
no idea of establishing q naticna
party and entering the field oil poll
tics as . labor party. They can gain
more By holding the balance ofpOwer
and force one or both of the old
parties to protect them in their rights
and that Is all they care for. The
intelligent, industrious aud thrifty
working man has no tue to lead
parties, and it is only when be feels
that his rights have been neglected
that he is disposed to enter Into puli-
tlcal contest. 1t is the idle and thrift
less that become party workers. and
they are incompetent to lead.
