The Harlan Republican has taken off
its coat and proceeds to read two or
three more trains on their branch of the
Rock Island. They are going to move
on the works of the company, and have
better train accommodations or plau-
sible excuse for such negligence. We
wish our neighbors success, and hope
they will make notes Us they proceed
in order that Aud ubon may profit by
their experience.
Breeders of cattle should remember
the sale Of Short Horns by Mr., I. II.
Westrope in this city on Saturday, May
18th. The stock sold by the gentleman
is not unknown in this vicinity rs being
just what it is represented, while Mr..
Westrope is known as responsible and
honest man. The stock will be on ex-
hibition at Foreman's feed yard one
work previous to sale. The terms of
sale are easy and reasonable.
Candidates for nominations ut the
hands of the republican convention are
doing wisely, as we believe, In declaring
their intentions to the public. These
expressions through the medium Of the
press give form to county politics and
put quietus ON many idle rumors,
which are too often set afioat by tho
enemies of the party. When the names
of aspiring candidates are known
throughout the county electors can go
to the causes prepared to act intelli-
gently and express whatever prefer
ences they may entertain.
Assistant Principal McKeen will re-
tire from the Audubon public schools

ton by simply indicating the desire to
do so. But all will approve his judg-
ment in aspiring toa superintendency for
which he is in every way qualified. lie
Is first class instructor, and those
with his good work in Audi
bon feel assured that he will succeed
wherever he may be called.
