1t is very painful and the lady gets
very little rest on account oft.

rating his house with paint out side
and in. They have a beautiful home
and this will add to its beauty.
J. S. Jobes who resids in the north
east corner of Audubon township was
taken suddenly and seriously i'll last
Friday. Mr.. Jobes is one of the early
pioneers of the county and we hope to
learn of his recovery soon.
Peterman & Voss are contemplating
building them a new shop at the upper
end of Main street, near where their
shop stands at present. Glad to see
them improve as every good building
adds to the looks of our little city.
When the Christian people first
talked of remodeling their church, N.
p. Christensen told them he would
seat it for them; so to make his word
good he has purchased seats that cost
him $4,000 and chairs that cost so
more. Pete always does things right
when he buys and in this case certainly
has proven himself generous.
We learn with deep regret that Rev.
r. G. Chambers and family will leave
us and move to Mascedonia, where he
is to remain during the coming year.
All Extra regret this removal for we
do not afford any better families than
Mr.. and Mrs. Chambers. However we
wish them success in their new home
and know they will find friends.
Peter Winkleman, who at one time
resided in Audubon township, then
sold out and moved to Arizona, has
returned and purchased farm of 100
acres just west of Adair. He thinks
those who become dissatisfied with
Audubon county and move away don't
know when they are well off, as there
is none better than Audubon county.
C. L. Bison was taken quite i'll on
h is way out to Montana and when he
reached Denver was compelled to stop,
go to a hotel and call a physician.
For four days he thinks he was abont
as sick as he wants to be. 1t so hap
pened he fell among friends although
they were entire strangers. 1t did not
take very long for them to find out
that Chas. belonged to the order OF the
"Elks" and everything that could be
done for his comfort was done and as
soon as he was able started home.
II. s. Wattles met him in Omaha.
Last Saturday load of boys went
walnutting and Willis Williams was
up in la tree to club them out and
fell to the ground breaking one arm in
two places and the other in three places.
His comrades loaded him into their
wagon and started for home, but the
pain was so great by the time they
reached Nick Bintner's that he was
carried into the house and a surgeon
called and made the little fellow as
comfortable could be and then brought
him home He is doing as we'll as could
be expected but is very great sufferer.
