How It Happened.

The Marshalltown Times Republic
can says; Rev. and Mrs. F. W.
Parsons, accompanied by Mr.. and
Mrs Thomas Shoemaker of Griggs-
vile, ILL.,, who have been their guests
for a week, went to Oskaloosa this
morning, where they spent the day
the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. N. j.
Bentley, of the firm of Green &
Bentley. Messrs. Green and Bent
ley are former Griggsville boys, and
Mr.. Shoemaker took Mr. Bentley
from the high school in that town
several years ago to teach him the
drug business. About twenty eight
years ago Mr.. Shoemaker visited
Marshalltown, Oskaloosa and other
Iowa towns, for the purpose of look
ing up a location, but as he was not
very well satisfied returned home
and told Mr.. Bentley and Mr.. Green
of the opening at Oskaloosa. The
company now enjoys the distinction
of owning what is probably the finest
drug store in the state.
