prompt attention.
Mr.. /. w. Baker has bought q half
interest in the ID. 9. Abrams clothing
house, the business to be conducted
under the firm name of Abrams & Ba.
ker. Mr., Baker is first class business
man and with his excellent family will
be heartily welcomed back to Audubon.
They will arrive here from Ilolstien
this week and occupy residence on
South Washington street
There is some talk about county poll
tics in the way of candidates suggested
but none have made known their do
sires and until that Is done the whole
matter is intangible. The republicans
view the contest with harmony, and il
is admitted ON all sides that only divi-
sions in the party can defeat our can.
didates. That condition all republicans
condemn, so that that the prospect for
success is very promising
1t is doubtful il so many public sales
were ever held in this county in one
season rs during the winter of $50 and
the spring. While all go expecting to
buy at low rates the prices this season
have in many instances been exorbitant
Household furniture and implements
have been sold for more than retailers
ask, but the great consideration OF

The Audubon Valley Creamery will
commence operations for the summer
today, and with promising chances of n
very successful year. They will work
the routes tributary to the old Extra
creamery, gathering milk from six hun

tol of twelve hundred. The Fisher
Bros. have fine prospects for this year,
and we hope they may be more than
compensated for the misfortunes of the
first year.

A most entertaining program for the
