A GOLDEN WEDDING.

r. G. Carpenter and Miss Mahalah
Thurman were joined in marriage at
the home of the brides parent, Aaron
Thurman, at MOOresville, Indiana,
June Is, 1916. The event of their
golden wedding was appropriately cele-
brated OIL Thursday, June IS, 1896, at
their pleasant home in Viola township.
The number of guests for whom an
elaborate dinner was served, was about
thirty-fve. Of their children three are
dead and six survive. Those surviving
were all in attendance, and, with their
husbands, wives and children make a
a total of thirty, and all save one were
present. The children are Rev. +. NJ.
Carpenter, J. c. Carpenter, Miss Sarah
Carpenter and Mrs. Harlan Griffin, of
Viola township, r. M. Carpenter, of
Audubon, and Mrs. r. J. Shelley, of
Cameron township. When the guests
were all seated at the tables, Rev. Car
penter, the eldest of their children, in
a few well chosen words, presented
the father with fine gold watch chain
and the mother with a costly swinging
rocking chair. There were other pre-
sents given, among them being Il gold
lined berry spoon from Miss Mildred
Morrisey. These estimable people
have lived in Iowa since 1849, having
first settled in POweshiek county,
where they removed to Audubon
county, settling in Viola township
where they have since lived, except for
the four years residence in Audubon
during the Squires two terms as
County Attorney. Though they have
now passed by three years each the
allotted time of three score and ten
their hosts of friends wish them many
years yet of happy union.

Uniucky Days and Garments.

"My beliefs run to days." says q
woman in an eastern paper. Every
woman who entertains is sure there Is
one day in the week on which she can
have no success in any undertaking
My bad day is Thursday. but, then, I
know lots Of women who never make
any positive engagements for Saturdays.
Saturday is q very black day in society
lists, and there are numbers Of other
wise sensible individuals who will new
er entertain on the day of the week on
which some member of their family has
died, just as there are those who. hay
ing once worn gown to o funeral,
will promptly give the whole costume
away. Moreover, some girls I know
feel there are certain garments in which
they always meet with i'll luck. It may
be a pair of pretty stockings or gloves,
or a dainty petticoat that shows signs
of being hoodooed, and once the evil
genius is accurately fixed ON the ac-
cursed garment, off it goes, and usually
the possessor burns it or gives it TO
some girl she has grudge against"

A GOOD RECORD.

The following is the remarkable his
tory of an Iowa family: J. S. Cole, of
Powesheik county, had three sons who,
with himself, enlisted in the army
shortly after the fall of Sumpter. The
first to enlist was his youngest son, j.
w. b. Cole, who was barely IS years old
when he was enrolled in Company g,
tenth Iowa infantry. He left the har-
vest field in VI, and enlisted for three
years, re-enlisting for three years or
during the war. He is now living at
Audubon.
His next brother, H. E. Cole, at the
age of "A, enlisted in Company b,
twenty eighth Iowa infantry, in Sep
TENDER, so, served through the war
and was mustered out at Davenport on
the 18th day of August, 80. He died
about one year ago at his home in
Audubon, from injuries received while
in the service.
The father, John S. Cole, then about
So years of age, enlisted Oh September
90, 80, at Marengo, in the thirty-sev-
enth Iowa infantry, Company d. Was
taken sick while in the service and
died at his home in Rowesheik county
while OH furlough.
The eldest son, Z, H. Cole, of this
city, enlisted in Company B, twenty
eighth Iowa infantry, on January 5,
1863, and served until the close of the
war, being mustered out at Davenport
on August IL, 1865.
Frances Cole, the eldest daughter of
Fl. E. Cole, married veteran of the
war, Thomas Ford, who served during
the war in the 111th Ohio regiment,
afterward moving to Iowa. The only
son of Frances ColeI J. Ford, resides
in this city. He is now about nineteen
years of age, is member of the Sons
of Veterans camp, and has the proud
distinction of being able to say that
his father, grandfather and great
grandfather were soldiers in the late
war of the rebellion and served gal
lantly defending the old flag.
Mrs. Cole, the wife of John s. Cole,
the venerable mother of this remarka-
BILE family, was born in Steuben county
N. Y, Fct. %, 1912, is now over SO
years of age, and resides at Audubon
with her son, d. D. Cole, who comforts
her old age, but was too young, being
only 10 years of age, to participate in
the great struggle.

E. Cole, are Sons Of Veterans and

Gentlemen-In looking over our
records showing switching of railroad
cars delivered at your works, and ship
ments therefrom, l find that during
the past twenty days we have given
you, on an average, sixty-three cars
per day, and that number has been
loaded and shipped by you, making
two full train loads of cars loaded
with harvesting machinery leaving
your works every day-a record that
certainly has never been equalled by
any concern in the world. Will also
say that prior to the last twenty days
we daily delivered to you fifty-fiv cars
which were loaded and taken from
your yards each day.
Yours truly,

Hon. A. L. IIager should be returned
to congress from this district OH the
ground of experience, if for no other
reason. 1t is the men, who have long
been in congress who take high rank
in that body. The veteran in the
national legislative harness is the man
who is Il leader, is the man who is con-
suited, is the man whose opinion is
sought, and is the one who can give
his district more and better service in
congress, than can any new and un-
tried legislator, whatever be his quail
fications. Mr.. lager has been q true
public servant, and the Ninth district
has never had man in congress who
has done more and better work than
he. The Iowa delegation in congress
reached its proud position by long SER
vice as well us by earnest, honest work.
Congressman Elager has taken front
rank and deserves return. Through
out the district the people desire his
return, and we hope to see him renOm-
mated ut Council Bluffs, June 80.

WEATHER REPORT.
CENTRAL STATION,


Des Moines, Iowa, June %, 1896.
Ideal weather conditions prevailed
the past week in the larger portion of
the state. The daily mean tempera-
ture ranged from three to five degrees
above the seasonal normal, and the
amount of sunshine was sufficient.
The rainfall was generally light, ex-
cept in portions of the north central,
northeast and east central districts,
from which reports are received of
heavy local showers.
There has been but slight interfer-
ence with farm work and good pro-
gress is reported in the cultivation of
corn and hay making. Corn is gen.
orally clean. and in some of the south
ern districts the early planted fields
are being laid by. The corn fields and
clover meadows are pushing the
farmers, and the harvest of fall grain
is close at hand.
Some improvement is noted in the
prospects of spring grain, especially in
sections where dry weather has pre-
vailed, which has checked the tendency
to lodge and rust.
Complaints of predatory insects have
about ceased and the general tone of
reports is more cheerful.

LAST NIGHTS STORM.

A heavy storm of lightning, wind
and rain prevailed i'm this section We'd
nesday night, and much damage is re-
ported.
At Robert Henderson's, in Cameron
township lightning struck his resi-
dence, killing his hired man, Albert
Shultz and burning the house to the
ground The reports received at this
writing are very meagre, but it is said
that Mr.. Henderson succeeded in saw
ing such of his household goods as
were in the lower story of the house.
There are rumors OF other buildings
being struck by lightning and of stock
being killed.
Small grain was badly pounded down
by the high wind which accompanied
the storm.

Ex-Governor BOies' presidential
boom did not take us well in Illinois
as his managers had hoped. Governor
Altgeld is boss Of the Illinois democ.
racy and does not like the speech the
ex-governor made at the democratic
state convention in 1894, in which Mr..
Boies strongly upheld the action of
President Cleveland in ordering U. S.
troops into Chicago at the time of the
railroad riots.

THE REPUBLICAN PLATFORM.

There is little ground for criticism
OF the republican national platform by
the party's opponents in the political
arena. 1t is a strong aud well con-
structed party document, aud cannot
be classed as merely twaddl. Oh cllarg-
ed with indirectnrss by those who do
not agree In its statements.
On the question Of the tariff the par.
ty takes anew, its old sta:id for protec.
ton to American industries and Am.
erican labor. Protection and reciprOc-
ity are made cardinal points In the
platform, and will. with republican
supremacy be fully carried out.
The plank ON the money question Is
distinct and positive. 1t Is u plain
and positive declaration in favor of
the present standard "f value, and is
direct in its opposition to the free and
unlimited coinage OF silver at the ratio
of 10 to l.
On other points, on which there is
no discussion, or at least no prominent
issue, the platform is equally plain.
Liberal pensions are favored. the Mon
roe doctrine Is upheld, Cuban Jude.
pendence is hoped for, enlargement of
the navy is favored, enforcement Of
the immigration laws is demanded,
upholding Of civil service laws is prom
Used.
Such, In brief is the republican plat
form, on which the party candidates
go before the people, asking their sup
port and confidently expecting sustain
ment at the polls in November.

Gentlemen: AS l have Just finished
my harvest, 1 thought l would write
you regarding the six Right-Hand Cut
Open Elevator Harvesters and Binders
l bought of your local agents, T. j.
Smith g. Co. l have cut and bound
3,240 acres of grain with these six
machines, making an average of $40
acres of graiu for each machine, max.
ing an average of $40 acres of grain
for each machine. l have harvested
this season 1000 acres of flax, 800 acres
of wheat, 400 acres of oats, 1000 acres
OF barley, and 40 acres of timothy.
These machines have given me the
best of satisfaction, and have bad no
expert near them since started cut
ting. 1t is simply wonderful how easy
these machines run, as l have used
only three horses on each machine, and
the grain this year has been yery
heavy and lodged in many places. /
cut and bound my entire crop of flax
with the very best of satisfaction land
/ can assure you that there are very
few machines that will handle flax and
do any kind of work.
There is no use talking, they are the
the coming machine, and l can not
express in writing the praise they
deserve.
To farmers wanting machine they
can depeud on, I would say say once
for all, buy MCCORMICK.
