A Successful Somerset Man.

Mr.. Fred s. Robinson, sou of r. j.
Robinson of Cornville, who resided In
Brooklyn, Iowa, for some years, has
changed his residence to Oelwein In that
state. The Brooklyn Chronicle of June
%, has the following sppreeiative notice
OF the change:
Fred 5. Robinson has purchased a
half interest in the Oelwein Register,
the leading Republican paper in Fayette
county, aud entered upon the duties
connected Herewith last week. He has
located in good town, has bought a
good property and will conduct good
paper, We we're associated with Mr..
| Robinson five years in the publication OF
The Chronicle and we have only to say
to the other fellows in Fayette county
that they will have to keep moving
| twenty-four hours a day IL they get out
as good a paper as The Register will be
under its new management. Mr.. Rob-
inson is vigorous writer upon the
topics of the day and Fayette Republi-
cans will find az able exponent Of their
principles in him. He has the happy
| faculty of gathering and dshing up the
local news in manner that we predict
will be appreciated by Register readers.
Mr.. Robinson has been superintendent
of our schools for a little more than
seven years, longer period than anyone
has ever held this position, and the es-
teen 10 which he is held by the classes
under his Instruction and the members
of the alumni association was very
prettily manifested at the close of the
school year by presents of substantial
character from the former, and resolu-
lions endorsing his work and his interest
in educational lines in our midst, from
the latter. all of which must be very
gratifying to him. During this time he
has raised the course of study so that at
present the Brooklyn high school is in
the first rank of accredited schools OF
the leading colleges of Iowa. He has
interested the boys as well as the girls
in high school work, the last four grad
uating classes having been composed of
majority of young men, as will the
class 10 graduate next year.
In his new field Mr.. Robinson will de-
vote his entire time to journalism, and
we expect to see his work Of higher
character in this line as his whole effort
will be directed to it, The Register will
merit the support Of the citizens of
Oelwein and vicinity, and we wish the
new firm every success"
