Miss Beulah Soar who was elected
to fill the same position in the public
schools as last year, has resigned her
position and the Board elected, Miss
Mamie Davis to fill the place vacated.
We do not understand what Miss Soar
intends to do but one with her ability
can find plenty of employment.
Hon. Frank Hopkins, of Guthrie
Center, spent Wednesday in town
visiting with his political friends and
looking after his chances for the nomi-
nation for state senator. Mr.. Hopkins
is a pleasant and courteous fellow
and is considered one of the brightest,
shrewdest and brainiest politicians in
the district, but with all his winsome
smiles he can not expect much from
Audubon county until couple of our
aspirants see that that there is nothing
in the political pot I" for them this

f. L. Anderson, of Ross, will ask for
the nomination for sheriff at the COM
ing republican convention. He is a
young man Of honor, integrity and
ability and his candidacy is already
being pushed by some of the best men
in several townships Should his
party give him the Nomination they
can rest assured that he will make an
aggressive and clean campaign and
when elected will fill the office with
credit to himself and party. He has
built up and conducts a large imple-
ment business and the same energy
that characterizes the success of his
private business would be given to the
public affairs of the office.

saw exactly what was predicted. Liverpool
was 2ir-Hid down at ". M. and this gave
our market q decline OF points on the open
