Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1889-08-08

started TUESDAY morning Tor Emporia,
Kansas, on a visit to the family of an
old friend, George Whipple. The trip
is made for the benefit of Mrs. Weeks
health and will be protracted as that
object Is attained.
+. J. Rhoades, of Council Bluffs, Is
spending the week with numerous
friends here. lie is remembered as the
son of Beech Rhoades, and since leav-
ing Audubon has grown nearly out of
memory. lie is now practicing law In
the Bluffs City and doing well.
c. G. Harper has just refllled his street.
show case with samples Of his fine work
in the Photographic line. Some fine
vignettes are shown rs well as some of
the very best groups ever finished.
Harper has special lenses for group
work, and always gives satisfaction.
The first number Of the Manning
Free Press has been received. tits pub
lished by Coe 4 Lahar, the former at
one time foreman, pressman and devil
of the Gray blizzard. II Is printed on
pink paper, fad accounted for by Goes
earlier training. II may be that Man
ming needed just such n paper.
Mr.. and Mrs. w. j. Lancelot Of Gray,
rejoice over the arrival of a daughter
born to them on Thursday, the LIST inst.
TIE REPUBLICAN congratulates and
wishes the new arrival q pleasant voy-
age. We acknowledge the receipt of
some excellent IIavanas from the genial
postmaster, whose joy we thus shared
to the fullest degree.
Wherever there is dissatisfaction
within political parties there Is ten
dency to find fault with the methods in
vogue. At present the Hardin County
citizen is engaged in arranging argu
ment against the primary system. The
conclusion is that those who have the
one wish for the other, though the sue
cessful are satisfied with either.
An exchange states that school
teacher may be distinguished when sit
ting down by gentle, gliding, suspic-
ious movement of the hand In man
ner to brush bent pin from u chair.
The movement Is the force of habit and
is not forgotten even in august gather
ings. We can hardly approve of such
levity at the expense of digniiicd pro-
fcssion.
The Hon. Jacob Kuhn has sold his
milling property in Manning to his late
partner Mr.. Sutherland. We under
stand that Mr.. Kuhn cntcrtains desire
to go further west, but his many friends
in western Iowa will hope that he may
be dissuadcd. lie has a large business
interest here, and we are confident Au-
dubon would give hearty welcome to a
citizen so desirable rs Mr.. Kuhn.
The fields of Audubon county present
as handsome sight rs one could wish
to witness at this time. Small grain In
shock and stack, and occasional thresh-
er sending forth busy hum, and n
grand stand of thriving corn, impress
one with the fact that the crop Is I'M
surpassed. The only exception to the
general prosperity is the small hail
stricken territory in Greeley township.
Reports from republican caucuses
in the various townships indicate that
there was an interest anequaled In for
mer years. The attendance was large
in every precinct and while there were
few instructions the preferences of re-
publicans were generally expressed and
delegates chosen to represent the senti-
ment of the townships. This II ~ II
should be and resulted In good work in
the convention today.
Mr.. J. NJ. Forbes, of Concordia, Kans.,
il visiting his brother Jas. Forbes. The
visitor is an elder brother and a staunch.
uncompromising republican, who deep
ly regrets the political course of his
brother, and argues so ably that we be-
lieve he could effect conversion II his
visit were protracted. With a brother
and son in the republican fold Mr..
James Forbes feels somewhat after the
manner of the ebony hued sheep.
Mr.. +. r. Thompson, formerly pop
ular pharmacist for A. II. Roberts K
Co., but more recently of Sioux City,
has engaged in the drug business for
himself at Sl2 West eth st. Mr.. Thomp-
son IL q young man of excellent bust
ness ability, OF independent character,
correct habits of industry, and Is sure
to succeed. lie writes that he Is doing
well, and sends regards to Audubon
friends.
The bar of Audubon county has
agreed upon fee bill, and the clients
who acknowledge business fayOrs with
smiling thank you" will hereafter
have their attention professionally d.
rected to the schedule of rates tackled on
the wall. 1t is, however, as 1t should be.
The attorneys of the county constitute
hardworking class, and IL Is iR the In
terest of both clients and lawyers that
a uniform schedule of rates be establish
ed.
Mr.. B. +. IIowald has Just finished
setting the polished plate glass in his
store front, and that without an acct
dent. The front and side present
continuous plate of polished glass twelve
and half feet high and sixty feet long,
all of which was purchased at an ex-
pense slightly below thousand dollars
The glass is the finest In the land, of
polished plate, without a pebble or dent,
and is from the +. A. Drew Co., OF st.
Louis. AS Mr.. Howald's building nears
completion the beauty of the design is
more clearly shown, and all Audubon
and vicinity take pride in his enterprise
and admirable expression of faith IN
the town.
