keep what the public need. He is as
sisted by Mrs. Currier; the well-known
Dan" Spaulding and Miss Alice
Gilbert, one of our most popular
young ladies. There is no need of
sending off for dry goods when we
have a store as finely stocked as this
in our midst, and the prices always
crock bottom" Call in and look
over the place.
Of course all will remember the lee
ture by Col. Sanford at town hall
Saturday evening next. He is no
stranger here, having lectured here
several times to full houses, always
delighJing hts audiences. On this oc-
casion he will deliver his new lecture,
"Stories and Story-Tellers, which is
said to be the best of any on his list
! Tickets are now on sale at Gates
drug store. The Marshall town
Iowa. Republican, says of him:
Col. Jas. P. Sanford has been citizen of
Iowa thlrty-sIx years, twenty-siX OF this time
he has had a home in Marshalltown. His
| first trip around the world was made from
| here and our people have often welcomed him
back from those long journeys in foreign
lands which have made him so famous as
traveller. Col. Sanford S first experience as
traveller was in South America, Mexico and
the West Indies, while boy between theages
of IL and 16 years At the beginning of the
late war he enlisted from the Iowa State Uni
versity in the Second Iowa cavalry, was soon
after made lieutenant and then captain. At
the close of his military life in 1864 he was
colonel commanding the Forty Iowa
Infantry. The colonel has Travelled as much
II not more than any other person, living or
dead, and for many years has been known as
the Great American Traveller" As apleas-
ing, eloquent and numerous lecturer he stands
in the front rank of the worlds best orators
and is in constant demand from Maine to the
Pacific coast. He has also won reputation
and fame on the lecture platform beyond the
great oceans. For over a quarter OF a cen
tury Col. Sanford has been a respected ac-
tive, genial and honored resident of Marshall
town. Now he is to become a resident of
Wheaton, Illinois, near Chicago. We hate to
lose him and his noble wife. It's hard to
give up old friends, but as it is to be, we will
say to the Wheaton people you are gaining
genial, warm-hearted, generous man, who
never has an unkind word for anyone Mrs
Sanford is in all respects his equal as to
kindness and Christian character. Col j. p.
Sanford as a lecturer has no superior in his
line and as man we can not say too many
kind words for him.
