John Weighton presented Hose Co.
No. ,, of which L. b. Creveling is fore
man, with check for $500 as token
of appreciation for their hard work in
saving his lumber from the fire Tuesday.
1t was generous recognition of good
work.
Mrs. Matte Hunter gave a musical in
her parlors last Friday evening in which
many of the members of her large mu-
sic class participated. The exercises con
sisted of vocal and instrumental solos,
and duets, etc. and the performances of
the children spoke well for the teacher.
The REPUBLICAN has been designated
by Judge Woolson, of the United States
court, as the paper for the publication
of bankrupt notices in this county. We
are glad of the recognition, but indica-
tons are that these publications will
not be remunerative to us for long
time to come. These are not bankrupt
times.
The board of supervisors made levy
of one mill to continue the contract
grading of roads in the county. 1t is
thought by most people that this plan
of work has produced the best results on
our roads, especially where heavy grad
ing is needed, and this action OF the
board we think will meet the approval
of the people generally.
Will Jordan, son of Samuel Jordan,
of Viola township is home from the war
and was in town Tuesday. He was with
Grisby's Rough Riders. They
spent their time in camp at Chicka.
maugua anxiously awaiting orders to go
to the front, but the war was over before
the orders came. Will came home
weighing twenty pounds less than when
he volunteered. Camp life at Chicka-
magua was very bad.
A strapping big fellow with uniform
and sargent's stripes on his arms, and
walking on crutches, is in town this
week. His name is W. B.. Hodge and
his former home was Atlantic where his
folks now live. He is visiting here with
Fl. B. Wilson and family. He enlisted
in the west in Torreys regiment of
Rough Riders, the I'd volunteer cavalry,
and was in the railroad wreck at Tupelo,
Mississippi, June 26, as they were going
to the front. Here he got his leg broke
and was not able to rejoin his regiment.
Tuesday when w. I'll. O'Connell was
fighting fire he took off his coat and
vest and laid them on the sidewalk
Some boy came along and picked them
up and carried them up town enquiring
for the owner. Showing them to j. A
Nash the latter thought he knew them
by badge on the lapel and Mr.. OCon-
nell coming up identified them and pro-
ceeded to examine the pockets for the
valuables he had left in them, good
watch in one pocket and twenty dollars
in another, which he found all secure.
This caused all parties to raise their es-
timation of the integrity of the youth of
Audubon.
John j. Lidd, proprietor of the Lidd
clothing and tailoring store, has leased
the good store room on the corner just
vacated by Geo. f. Thompson, and will
move his stock into it as soon as the
room can be reprinted and repapered.
The owner, B. f. Howald, will be here in
a few days and the room will be fitted
up at once. Mr.. Lidd has good bust
ness and this will give him much need
ed additional room and better location.
There is room in Audubon for three
clothing merchants and the fact that we
have three good ones helps to draw
much trade from long distance.
Mr., and Mrs. j. W. Rosenberg and
Mr.. and Mrs. HI. M. Talbot entertained
about seventy-five of their friends last
Thursday evening at the home of the
former. The GOODNESS of the evening
prevented the enjoyment of the beant.
full lawn, but merrier company than
within we have seldom been
permitted to see. An elegant supper
was served to which all did ample JUS
tice. Indeed it is reported of the gener-
GUS hospitality prevailing that there
were various "hand. Louis" at the back
door and even at the gate, but we can
not say as to the truth of these rumors,
