SCHOOL NOTES.
COLUMBIAN CLUB,
by the Secretary.

Although there are few cases Of
scarlet fever, the attendance has been
effected but very little.
Last Monday was an unfortunate
day in regard to hardness. In the
morning there were quite num-
Der of pupils tardy. AS is frequently
the case, the school clocks were said to
be the cause, but a thorough investi.
CATION proved that the fault was not
with the time. The clocks were put
back q minute instead Of ahead as was
supposed. The janitor keeps the time,
and he has been instructed never to
make an abrupt change in the time,
and this instruction is followed strict
ly. The school time is five minutes
slower than standard time and this
was found to be true on Monday morn
ing. 1t is q very common thing for
number of pupils to be tardy on cold
Monday morning.

On Thursday Of last week Mr.. Nash,

welcome visitor in the High School.
Mr.. Nash is always gladly welcomed in
all the departments, but this afternoon
he was particularly so, as the bearer of
fine portrait of John James Audi
bon, presented to the school by Mr.
George Il. Thompson.
The following resolutions were un-

structors and pupils Of the High School
at the last meeting Of the Longfellow
Literary Society NoY. 10, 1894.
ReSOloed,-That we extend to Mr..
George Il. Thompson vote of thanks
for his kindness in presenting to the
High School the portrait of the great
naturalist John James Audubon, after
whom our county and city was named.
ReS0LUed, THAT we extend our
thanks to Mr.. Thompson for the in
terest manifested In us, and that we
make an effort to learn more of the
biography of Mr.. Audubon in the fu-
ture.
ReSolUed-That a copy Of these reso-
lutions be rendered Mr.. Thompson and
that they be published In the Audubon

AN ECONOMIST.

AS an economist, Audubon county's
famous supervisor ID. w. Matthias is
and always has been the
most brilliant success of the age.
Economy is his hobby and the ere
forms" engineered by this saver of the
public funds are only exceeded by the
tariff reforms of tho late democratic
congress.
Tax payers have been saved lots of
money under the Matthias regime.
Matthias has always been on the side
of economy. He would save quarter
even if that saving should cost a dol
lar. He has used the axe on every
body's bills but his own. That axe has
fallen without fear or favor on claims
just and unjust. But last Thursday
the axeman had to swallow dose Of
his own medicine.
During the long weary days of the
Mclaughlin trial our efficient super
visor sat in court. For seven long
days he watched the county's interests.
The jurymen had no chance to steal
their box, neither did the Judge get an
opportunity to embezzle the ink stand.
Daniel, the watchful, was on hand and
saw to it that the county attorney did
his duty and that everything was done
up in ship shape manner.
And the Board met and the bills
came, and Daniels bill announced, that
Daniels watchfulness was worth $3.50
per day to the county. Two dollars
and half per day is not large COM
pensation for conducting murder
trial. And it was very thoughtful in
our supervisor to make his bill so small.
His consideration for the tax payer
was very great Indeed such gener-
osity is unheard off.
But that man from Lincoln town
ship that heartless Sam Garmire "kick.
ed" on allowing that $3.50, and gave
his opinion to the effect that Matthias
was not entitled to pay for attending
trials, and announced that that bill
would be paid with his vote recorded
against it.
And Matthias began to get warm un-
der the collar and finally stuck his lit
tie bill, for legal services rendered the
county, into the stove.
The bill was not paid and Mr.. Ma
thias got nothing to which he had not
just claim. But it is soothing to the
many whose claims Mr.. Matthias has
cut, to know that the chickens came

A HANDSOME GIFT.

Last Monday evening committee
ofladies Of the Columbian Club, wait
ed on Mr.. VIM. Leet, who was in Au-
dubon on business, and that gentle
man at their solicitation gave to the
club a suite of rooms over the Com
mercial Bank for the use of the Col
uni ian Library. This gift is perpetu-
al and without conditions.
This generosity on the part of Mr..
Leet is especially opportune as the
library has out grown its present quar-
tiers, and has long needed just such
room as its new home will furnish.
The Columbian library is one of the
institutions of which every citizen of
Audubon should be proud to which
everyone should give support and en-
couragement. The library has grown
steadily in size and popularity since its
organization and it is now favorite
resort with young and old alike.
To all, who have given time, atten.
ton and money to the organization and
carrying on of our library, a debt of
gratitude is due. Good advice in the
selection of reading matter, and good
books from which to read are furnished
at the library. And that library small
though it may be, has as large an in
iluence for good in its special sphere
as any organization in our midst.
The present attendance at the library
is fifteen or twenty a day, and every
day brings new attendance and great
er interest. All that is needed for the
great and permanent good influences
of the library is more extended in
terest in its welfare.
Let all our citizens take an interest
and do their share in aiding and up
holding this institution which is only
second in value to our public schools.
In accepting Mr.. Leets gift, the fol-
lowing resolutions were passed by the
Columbian Club:
AUDUBON, Iowa, Nov. 20, 1894.
Whereas William Leet has generous
ly granted to the Columbian Club for
| library purposes three rooms over the
Commercial Bank free of rent for q
long term of years.
BE it therefore resolved that we ten
der Mr.. Leet our heartfelt thanks for
the generous and substantial manner
in which he has aided the library and
| that this resolution be spread upon the
recor DIS Of the club and that copy be
handed the advocate and REPUBLICAN
for publication.

DEATH OF c. II. CROSS.

After many months of pain and
suffering Clark II. Cross died at his
home in Audubon yesterday at p. m,
Mr.. Cross was an early settler in Au-
dubon county, having been a farmer
and later business man in Audubon
for manyyears.
His death resulted from cancer
About three years ago the disease
made its appearance on the lower lip,
an operation was performed and the
growth removed, and to all appear
ances cure seemed to have been eff
fected. But last spring the disease
reappeared on the lower jaw and sur
geons said that new operation would
be attended with great danger. In
July Mr.. Cross came to Audubon and
taking up his residecce with his broth
er-in-law, Geo. Mccain, tried reputed
cancer cure which failed completely
His sufferings during the last five
months haye been terrible and the
merciful death for which he looked so
long came as great relief.
Mr.. Cross was soldier and a mem
Der of the &. A. r. His life has been
that of consistent christian and he
was amember of the Methodist church,
He leaves a wife and four children,
one daughter, Addie, and three sons,
George, Frank and Bert, all except the
last named being grown.
The sympathy of all has been with
the family during Mr.. Cross long i'll
ness and it still goes out from the old
friends and neighbors in this time of
sadness and death. His death, though
expected, came as shock to all, and
though prepared for the end the bitter
ness of death had lost none of it's
sting. All that could be done for the
sufferer kind hands waited to do and
they have the assurance that father
and husband are better off now that he
is released from the cruel suffering
that has so long been his lot.
The funeral services will be held to-
morroy (Friday) afternoon at o'clock,
in the Methodist church.

THANKSGIVING DAY.

One week from today is, by procla-
nation of the president and of the
governors of the various states, set
apart as day of thanksgiving. Many
may feel that in view of short crops,
hard times and general depression
that they have little for which to be
thankful
We are much better favored than
people of many other localities. We
should be thankful that we have what
we have; that we live in free America,
and in the best state of Americas glo-
rious union; that we have free schools
and free worship; that we have home
and friends; and that hope for more
and better years to come is ours.
Then let all provide the necessary
turkey, without which Thanksgiving
would be incomplete and with the re-
CURED trimmings for this glorious
bird make merry with our friends and
be thankful for the many things that
have come to our door in the year that
is now almost gone.
Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1894-11-22

AS Thanksgiving approaches and
bright visions of Christmas cheer are
in the distance, it may not be out of
place to suggest an early reorganiza-
ton of the Relief Committee. The
year has been very hard one, and no
doubt, we have poor among us who
will need assistance during the cold
winter. Thanksgiving seems to us a
peculiarly appropriate time for the
forming of a relief board for the COM
ing winter. On this day of thankful
ness and praise for Gods goodness, it
would be well to give little thought
to the unfortunate ones among us and
prepare to lend what assistance we
may. Charity is the brightest jewel in
christian life and at no time can that
jewel be worn to greater advantage
than on the day set apart for grateful
remembrance of Him from whom all
blessings flow. Let some one take up
the work of forming relief fund and
be ready to give help when that help
is needed. 1t might not be presump-
tious to say that our ministers could
set apart few moments of the
Thanksgiving services ror this most
excellent worthy object.

The Patrons of Husbandry.

DEAR HERALD: An old Ken
tuckian asks you indulgence again.
Saturday night closed the 18th
annual convention and picnic of
the Patrons of Husbandry, which
was the most prosperous ever held.
The last day was attended by
thousands of people from Coles
and adjoining counties. Mrs. T..
E. Frazier, a former citizen of your
town was chairman of the lady
managers and good part of its
success was due to her untiring
efforts. Mr.. James H. Swango, of
Hazel Green, was on programme
and delivered fine grafton to an
audience of over 5000. After he
had finished many old settlers
from different parts of your state
rushed to the platform to shake
hands with the young orator, while
the grove fairly rang with his
praise. The other speakers were
Hon. Geo. R. Tate, of East st.
Louis, and Supt. S. T. Feagan, of
Charleston. Kentuckians in this
county are doing we'll. Good pros
poets for large crops.
