Twice-a-week plain dealer. (Cresco, Howard County, Iowa) 1895-1913, 1897-04-16

Fritz Granzow leaves Saturday for q
weeks playing with the Algona or
chestra, with which he will probably
permanently engage, and IN all likeli-
hood remove his family to that place.
Perhaps it will not be amiss to ask
each subscriber to look at his last re-
ceipt for the PLAIN DEALER. It is
barely possible that you are carrying
money that belongs to us, if so we
would like it.
Rev. Marshall's frequent visits to
Cresco of late, coupled with the sim
ultaneous appearance of Contractor
johnson OF Lime Springs, leads us to
expect building operations to COM
mence soon on Rev. Marshall's lot.

i Prot. Karl Fisk, the optician, re-
turned home yesterday afternoon on
account of an attack of the grippe.
He will return again in 60 days and
when he does come, if troubled with
defective sight you should make him
a call as We are perfectly satisfied he
is entirely competent and trustworthy
in every way.
E1e storm has gone by and the sun
came out Wednesday morning warm,
with bright clear sky, all nature
nature seeming to rejoice at the GER
tain approach of more genial weather.
In fact the people seemed overjoyed
as we'll as the joyous songsters perch
ed upon the trees. Later-Thursday
, rain and snow and every body got the
blues.

John E. Graf and L. j. Glass, in
conducting the grocery business of
Frank Glass, have earned the better
quarters that Lyric Hall gives them
for display and handling the superb
stock OF the concern. Their patrons
J will rejoice with them in their having
a store with sufficient room for the
transaction OF large trade where
patrons won't fall over each other
or tread on their feet. Their goods
are. high in quality but low in price.
The farmers about Elma have or
ganized and will incorporate aiarmers
cooperative creamery company. They

I. O'Brien; Treasurer, Daniel Nc
Kittrick; Secretary, A. A. Carte r; Di-
rectors, John Robson, VIM. Buch-
holtz, John Jacoby, Peter Joens, Geo.

Monday night was dark and damp,
but nevertheless it did not deter
Cresco people from attending o.
Malley's Easter opening, for long be-
fore the crowd stopped coming, the
supply of beautiful souvenir roses had
been exhausted. Not only was the
decorated store filled with happy
throng who were cordially welcomed
by MIR. O'Malley and his courteous
corps OF assistants, chief among whom
rose the satisfied and genial counte-
nance of MIR. Moriarty. Not only was
the store crowded but the sidewalk
was filed with appreciative beholders
OF the show window filled with beau
tiful new millinery creations. And if
you haven't been in yet, be sure and
do so before Mrs. Jackson leaves with
her beautiful exhibit of needlework.
They are perfect revelation of the
possibilities OF fancy needlework.
The row OF hitching posts located in
front of the Bucknam lots and oppo-
| site the Verback house have been the
subject of a good deal of talk during
the past few weeks, aud are just
grounds of complaint on the part of
Mr.. Verback. Neither the city au-
thorities or any individual has right
to m AXE a barn yard, nuisance un-
der q neighbours door. The city on
certain days in the week is sadly in
need of places to hitch the hundreds
OF teams that throng our streets,
but in providing them as little en-
croachment as possible should be
made upon the rights of families and
of private property. Should the Con-
gregational church build on the Kim
ballots as it contemplates, the city
would do well to procure that ground
in the rear of the block extending
from Park street to the alley as place
for hitching teams. The authorities
very properly avoided placing a row
of posts in front of residences north
from the court house square and
should have like consideration for Mr..
Verback.
