Kew. j. b. Harris lectured at the M

siz ed audience upon Blunders Com
NOR and Uncommon. The first por.
ton was devoted to u very serious and
earnest consideration of the mistakes
young people make in starting out In
life; the young man who chooses an oc.
cupation without considering his adap'
liability, the young woman who MAJ
ries dissipated man with the hope of
reforming him, and many ether com
mon and fatal blunders All Were
earnestly and eloquently treated. In
closing he drifted into lighter vein
and recited some of the blunders of the
absent minded, not forgetting the tipsy
man who came home late in the rain,
put his umbrella to bed and stood him.
self up in the hall-and told many good
stories in capital style, some of which
would not be credited by the audience
If offered by less reliable authority.
Rev. Harris has keen appreciation of
the humorous, and delighted the au.
dience with the popular features of his

There have been large number OF
transfers In Audubon county lands this
winter, as the official list has shown
from week to week. The county Is los
! ing some first class citizens by removal,
while others are relocating within the
county, having found by investigation
that they cannot do better. No doubt
some will find the change profitable,
while others will regret removal. MI.
VIM. Keshan, who was here last week
from Nebraska, removed from IIamlin
township two years ago induced to take
that step by the opportunities for cheap
grazing. He stated that with the same
effort he rut forth here he has been I'M
able to make profit, and that he would
have been much better off had he re-
manned on his Audubon county land
Having received by mail eight propo-
sitions to purchase 1t he came back to
look it over, when he came to the con-
clusion that it is good property to hold.
Iowa, Mr.. Keshan says, beats the world.
Men on the farm and in all lines of
business are called upon to overcome

petty discouragements and disggyant-

A gentleman of this city received
several circulars in the mail the other
morning and after perusing them
thoughtfuliy went to the Office of his
attorney and calling him into the in
nermost sanctuary inquired: ado
look tough2 Is my reputation that of
an all around yillain2' And then he
went ON to explain the cause for sus-
picions of himself. The first circular
was price list from a wholesale liquor
house which guaranteed to deliver him
any quantity of liquor for his own use
secretly. The second was from an in.
stitution for the cure OF dipsomania
warranting cure of the worst case OF
drunkenness in thirty days. The third
was from counterfeiters in New York,
who stated that the addressee had been
recommended to them as q good man
to handle their goods, secretly and
proftably. The recipient said that he
had been resident of Audubon since
the town started, had lived q sober and
industrious life, and that he had a club
in pickle for the man who would re.
commend him for such nefarious work.
The attorney endeavored to tell him
that this was an indignity to which the
most righteous were subjected, but the
gentleman left the Office smartlng I'm.
der the implied insult and with
weather eye out for the man who had
characterized him as hard drinker,
