the balance of her days provided with
the common comforts and necessities
of life; but no hand of loved ones to
smooth the burrows of care from her
aching brow, no words of love to still
the throbbing heart. Such may be the
lot of many of us. but let we who are
young and full of the vigor md vim
of life SO provide for ourselves that we
msy enjoy the rich heritage of our de-
Ginning years in the common comforts
OF home-SWeet home.
There was quiet little wedding at
the home of Jos. Ridpath, in the south
part of town, Wednesday afternoon,
l.. S. Boyd and Hattie Kohl being the
contracting parties. That success and
happiness may ever attend them is the
wish of their many friends.
We are in possession of news of a
startling nature, which we are re-
quested not to give the public at this
time, as it might tend to thwart Just
ice. However, we think we can give
it to our readers next week. In giving
news to the public we wish to give
that which is reliable and for the pub
lies good; hence, we await the proper
time.
Few people know or realize what
can be made from poultry. T. j. Fred
ricks gives us some figures which may
be read with profit. He invested, on
the 18th of April, '9S, $1,000 in chick
ems. Since then he has sold $3.50
worth of eggs and poultry; has on
hand fifteen dozen chickens which
will weigh, on an average, four and
and q half pounds, which. at four
cents per pound, would be $32.4O. Dur
ing this time his family of six have
had all the eggs and chickens that q
family of that size would usually con-
sume
Arthur Palmer is free man. and
the blood stains of guilt has been
washed from his hands. The details
OF the Palmer case that has been on
trial for the past week, are the same as
the Cunningham case. A motion was
filed today asking the judge to direct q
verdict Of acquittal, which way sus-
tanned. A column or more of details
and personal comment might be placed
before our readers, giving all that is
sensational in this and kindred cases;
but owing to the lateness of the time
in receiving the news, we will let the
details sink with the tide of years into
the past, hoping that Palmer will
profit by this experience, so that in
after years he may never be associated
In any way that might complicate him
and ruin his future happiness.
James Cunningham, who was found
guilty OF murder, received his sentence
today. The details of the case are so
we'll known that we could say nothing
that would be new to the public. The
sentence is twenty-five years at hald
labor in the state penitentiary at Fort
Madison. The public has been patient
and justice has taken it's course. There
is no doubt the case will be taken to
the supreme court Someone is guilty
of the crime, and if Jim be the guilty
man it is right he should be punished.
When we think of Jim as we knew
him in his boyhood days, we are filled
with sympathy and compassion for
him. The public ask for justice, law
and order, and in order to obtain it the
guilty must be punished. BY good be-
havior the sentence can be reduced
several years.
The people will be sad to learn that
5. d. Thayer, one of our best and most
reliable business men and his wife, one
OF the leaders of our society, are soon
to depart from us, severing all former
ties to embark in the worlds busy in
dustries in. Mississippi. Mr.. Thayer
and wife have been closely identified
with Audubon and all it's interests
from its earliest history. In the tide
of years they have endeared u circle OF
friends that deeply regret their depart.
ure, Mr.. Thayer assumes a third in
terest in an extensive lumber business
in the forests of Mississippi. He wants
to sell his furniture store if he can be.
fore he leaves, which will be about
February l; but if he does not sell, he
will leave e. B. Cousins as manager
of it. Their many friends will wish
them the success and happiness in
their new home and new business that
people of such worth most Justly de
serve.
