The Audubon County Agricultural
Association is now prepared to meet
all indebtedness and all who are hold
ers of premiums for 1894 can have
money due them by calling on the
treasurer. The fair officers made a
loan Saturday, amply sufficient to meet
all present requirements and leave a
neat sum for next year. This move
on the part of the directors is to be
commended as good credit is very nee
cessary for the organization.
r. N. Carper has been employed by
E. A. Rea as salesman, and farmers
may soon expect to have Nate calling
on them at their homes, ready to cry a

Mr.. Carper's wide acquaintance
throughout the county will make him
valuable as a salesman. What he says
about goods will be trustworthy and
we understand he is prepared to offer
the very best of good terms.
Gill Jones & Co., have secured the

will be able to furnish his many GUS
toners with implements, farm ma
chinery and buggies in the spring of
1895, at prices so low that they will not
realize the pressure of the hard times.

The terrible effects of the drought
are nowhere more evident than in the
decreased railway earnings. The loss
suffered by Audubon county people
measured by the falling off of business
at the Audubon station seems almost
incredible. Agent Smith, of the Rock
Island, showed to the writer the bal
lances on his report for October '94 and
compared it with the showing for Oct
ODER '93. In October '93 the business
amounted to $l422S.23 and in October
'94 it was only $3959.13, a difference of
S1O269.1O This whole sum is in the
lack of "out" business lie. in freight
shipped from Audubon, as the Sin
business shows increase for every
month over last year.
