Audubon County Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Audubon Co., Iowa) 1885-1894, 1890-01-30

The amusement loving people Of Au-
dubon are to have real treat in the
visitation Of Golfers Refined Ministries.
Judge Macomber knows something
of the sensations of reading his own
obituary. Word was telegraphed to
state papers last Thursday that he had
died OF the grip. but ON the day follow
ing he telegraphed over his own name
that he had shaken OFF the grip rather
than the mortal coil. The Judge is to
be congratulated.
John +. Consigny arrived home from
Arkansas Monday morning, having SO.
journed for two weeks at Sulphur
Springs and at Eureka Springs. Mr..
Consigny left ID. l.. Freeman and A. L.
Sanborn at the latter place, Mr.. Free.

derful waters and the Judge suffering
from la grippe. o. II. p. Roberts fam
lily is also suffering from the same dis
ease and In that country where at this
season II is damp, foggy and chilly, the
aflliction is treating its subjects with
great severity. Mr. Consigny is not
pleased with the general aspect of the
Rackensack /" country and regards it
as of very little use for general agri-
cultural purposes. Fruits of all kinds
are raised In abundance and are ship
ped to Omaha, Kansas City and st.
Louis, making u profitable business for
producers. and in which many of them
have become well.to do. Mr.. Consigny
has very little notion of settling there,
however.
The call for the municipal election
appears elsewhere in this issue, des-
ignating Monday, March Bird, as the
eventful day four weeks from next Mon.
day. Mayor Armstrong has enjoyed two
terms in that capacity, and we do not
know that he is averso to further ser.
vice. Certainly better mayor could
not be secured and for the accommoda-
ton of the public he is most convenient
ly located. However, II others aspire to
the honors and emolumcnts of the
position we presume he would shed the
official toga without regret. We have
many citizens who would creditably I'LL
the Office, but can have no hope of Sc
curing a better mayor than the incum.
bent. Recorder Wheatley has filed tho
position for two terms with universal
satisfaction to the public and credit TO
himself. He is deserving Of re. election.
Treasurer Il. j. Freeman doesn't find
the burden great, especially at this sea-
son of the year, and will probably be
reelected II he will consent to serve.
Assessor Thomas Walker seems to be II
fixture In municipal machinery, and
certainly none can do the work per.
tanning to that Office with greater ac-
curacy and expediency than this OK
perienced accountant. The terms of
Councilmen VIM. Cloughly and ID. +.
Howald expire, the former having
served two terms and the latter but
one.
Mrs. w. ]. Morrow died ut her late
home In Manning, on Monday, Jan.
Goth, OF pneumonia. The first appear
ance of the disease was in the form OF
influenza, which soon developed moro

resulted fatally. Mrs. Morrow was

With the bereayed husband and father.
frs. Morrow was n faithful and loving
wife and mother, devoted to the duties
