ME. n. n. Casner IakeS Cnarg0 OF the
Important Denison Station
Mr.. III. E. Casner has been transfer
red from the Central's office in Jesup.
Iowa, and placed in charge of the
Denjson station. This is in the light
of promotion as Denison is regarded
as the most importan. point on the
Central's new line between Ft. Dodge
and Council Bluffs. MIR. Casner is
gentleman of good business appearance
and pleasing address,, and we predict
that our business men will like him and
his methods. We quote the following
articles from the Citizens Herald Of
Jesup and bespeak for Mr. Casner and
family hearty welcome to Denison.
1t is with deep regret that the Herald is
called upon to announce to its many readers
that we have lost Mr.. Casner and his esteem
able wife from our midst, but such is tn
case. The people of Jesup were greatly sur.
prised when it was whispered around Sun.

here having received a promotion Saturday
night and would be transferred to Denison
Iowa, town on their new line of road
Denison is thriving town of about 5000 in
habitants, the county seat OF Crawford coun-
ty, and one OF the most important stations
on the new line, and therefore had to have
a first-class man placed there. The I. O.
folks are not slow in learning the sterling
worth OF their men, and fully realizing and
approaching the golden qualities of Mr.. Gas
ner. whose large experience fully fitted him
for such a place, selected him from their
many employees to fill this important posi-
ton. Mr.. Casner was raised and spent his
school days in Jesup, having moved here
with his parents from Pennsylvania when he
was only two years old and is therefore
known by everybody He entered the SER

Jesup four and one-half years at different
points on the west end, and at one time To-
Gated at Cedar Falls. He returned to Jesup
In 1890 and entered upon his duties as agent

making nine years of unbroken service at
this point During that period he has been
untiring in his efforts to please both the off,
Gals and patrons of the road and success
has been perched on his banner all along his
long line of service. Mr.. Casner was cour-
teous and affable, always willing to give in
formation and was we'll liked by all patrons
OF the road who, while glad to have him re-
celve promotion of such high character
are sorry, sorry indeed, to lose him from this
station. Outside OF his railroad life he is
citizen OF the gilt edge quality. Now a word
about his amiable wife. Mrs. Casn.r was
raised In JeSup and has friends without
number. She is a brilliant entertainer, be-
! ing full OF fun and life and one in her pres
enee Is never troubled with the blues and
she VIII be greatly missed by the social ele-
ments of our little city. The people of Dem
t1son will find Mr.. and Mrs. Casner a valuable
acquisition to their thriving city and what
is Jesup's loss is Denison's gain. Mr.. Casner
left Monday night for his new field OF labor
and Mrs. Casner will follow as soon as he
can secure.a house and make the necessary
arrangements. The Herald joins with their
4 hosts of friends in wishing them health,
wealth and happiness in their new home,
