Nebr., attended the wedding of his
brother, George W. Wood, and is look
ing after the settlement of the estate of

George Clark attended the Shelby
county fair three days last week, and
from his general remarks we infer that
Shelby has a floral hall not more pre-
tentious than our own.
The state fair this week is big sue
cess no boubt, but 1t is second In i'm.
portance to the Audubon County fair.
That exhibition will have the chief at
fractions for our people. Don't miss 1t.

dental death of his brother was received
having been called here to attend to
business In the district court.
Harlan is about to make another eff
fort to build track for the North
Western people from Kirkman to Har-
Ian. This is undoubtedly the most
simple solution of the problem that
agitates our neighboring town.
II. N. Carper is right at the front as
auctioneer. He did good business

Miss Cora OFT is visiting the public
schools at Perry this week, and will go
from there to Portsmouth, where she
will open the school next Monday.
Miss Lille OFT commenced teaching at
Price last Monday. This temporarily
deprives Audubon of two of its most
estimable young ladies.
A little daughter Of w. w. Weston Of
Melville township was with her father
who was working with the team Mon
day, when the little one got under the
wheels, one Of which passed diagonally
over her body, from shoulder to hip,
He carried her to the house and de-
spatched messenger for DIR. Denote,
who upon arriving found the little one
asleep and uninjured.
Audubon county has very literally
patronized the state fair. Agent Brown
of the Rock Island station has sold
something over one hundred tickets,
while Extra and BraytOn and the sta
lions above will doubtless swell the to-
tai to nearly two hundred. When 1t is
considered that we are more than a hun
dred miles from Des Moines, the at
tendance is considered good.

Ethel, the infant daughter Of Mr.. and

church for many years. At the time
of her death she was assistant superin.
tendent of the NJ. L. Sunday School.
At the session of the M. Z. Sunday
School last Sabbath, chair was Hastily
draped in honor of her memory.
Mr.. ID. L. Overfield, the chairman and
general rustler for the union labor party
constituted the convention that assem-.
bled last Saturday. The gentleman was
unanimous but could not dispense him
self to make quorum, so he adjourned,
sine die, bewailing the decrease of
patriotism. No misery is so miserable
but that it likes company, and Mr.. Over
field was consequently Disguised and
disheartened. The disorganization of
the party here is directly attributable
to the removal of leading agitators.
May a kind Providence bless and per-
petuate their absence.
