There was a surprise at Mr.. Ed
wards last Saturday night in honor of
Miss Marsh, the school teacher. The
roads were very bad in places, but in
spite of that, there were thirty-three
present. A'supper was the first thing
in order, and it was much enjoyed.
Early in the evening we were favored
with a very mastery piece of music
by the teacher and afterwards with
music by Mrs. Sadie Edwards and by
Criss Kiser, who played the mouth
organ, after which many amusing
games were played. There were
some presents which were as unex-
pected by the teacher as they were by
the authors of the party. Thanks to
the thoughtfullness of the young
minds who thought of it. After the
plays were over and the usual thump-
ing around which a birthday gets, all
having enjoyed a good time went
home. J. w. ELLISON.

locating at first on the Hovey place,
4 miles west of lola, then moving to
the Shelter place, north of town. In
1884 the subject of this sketch came to
lola to take place as clerk in gro
Gerry stere of Hart & WEIGH. After
one year thus employed he engaged
himself with Cowan & Marsh where
he remained for three years. AT the
end of this period, he went into bust
ness for himself, becoming an equal
partner in the firm of COwan, Ausher-
man & Norris. Mr.. Norris soon with
drew and since that time the firm has
been, and still remains, Cowan d
Ausherman.
From this brief sketch it is appar-
ent that Mr.. Ausherman has been of
that goodly company who have had
to shoe their own row." And like all
of those who have the right kind of
"stufr' in them, he has made no fuss
about it. He never complained any
about his hard luck, and he never
asked any odds. He just kept peg
ging away, working all the time and
getting little farther ahead all the
time, not only in worldly goods but in
worldly wisdom and in the esteem of
the people. And now he has his re-
ward.
Without having been a candidate
for any Office Mr.. Ausherman was
elected to the city council of lola ia
1892, and he served the township as
clerk for three successive years. He
had always taken lively interest in
politics however, and so when he re-
ceived the nomination for the Office of
sheriff at the hands of the Republican
convention last summer, he found the
woods full of enthusiastic supporters.
The woods were full, too, of active
opposers, it is fair to say. The oppo-
sition put up the strongest and most
popular man that could be found in
their ranks, and their most strenuous
efforts were combined to push him
through. They thought, down to the
very night Of the election that they
had succeeded, and they dropped a
whole lot of good dollars on the
strength of their faith. But when the
votes were counted out Mr.. Ausher-
mans majority was in the region of
200. Considering the fight made
against him it was great victory.
Mr.. Ausherman was married on the
Goth of December last to Miss Sadie
Proctor, a most attractive and estima-
BILE young lady. His hsme is enrich
ed also by the presence of his mother
and younger sister.
In person Sheriff Ausherman
islands full six feet of lovely flesh"
weighs nearly 200 pounds, has black
hair, brown mustache and grey eyes
altogether a handsome and manly
figure. He has taken hold of the
sheriff7s office like an old hand, and
nobody doubts his entire qualification
for its imDOrtaut duties
