Miss Alta Harsh came out from
Jasper county to visit this week with
her uncle, VIM. Armstrong, out in
Melville township. She came into
town Thursday and visited with her
cousin, George Armstrong and family,
in the hotel Oh South Park street.
A number of little friends of Ralph
Mosier were invited in one day last
week to help him properly celebrate
his sixth birthday. Ralph is manly
little fellow and entertained his guests
in manner that might shame many
of the older people. The little ones all
had a fine time.
Wednesday E. N. Taggart and
Cassie O. Baker were married at the
Methodist parsonage by Rev. Matthew
ey. Mr.. Taggart is the we'll known
nurseryman north of town and has
good home for his bride. The bride is
from over toward Guthrie county, and
of nature to make good home for
him.
Fred Little and Nellie Spengler were
married Tuesday evening at the Park
Hotel by Rev. Hinkhouse. The groom
is young man abundantly able to
cope with the world and provide for
his wife. He has been a man who
could always find employment and
one whom men seek for their ability
to do. The bride is young lady
worthy of respect and admiration.
She possesses an abundance of good
common sense and will make help
full helpmeet to him. They left on the
evening train for visit with relatives
at Marquette, Iowa.
The fire department went to Man
ming the 4th ana captured all the
prizes offered for the hook and ladder
and hose teams. The Manning team
had poor show against them. We
don't know what the cause was;
whether it was in the better training
of our boys or the natural better speed,
but they were easy victors. Frank
Mantz carried off nearly every thing
in the atheletic sports aside from the
firemen's race. Allie Quimby and
Frank Carper won the three-legged
race for men and did it easy. The
boys feel that they can catch few of
the prizes at the state tournament.
The hot weather has decided ]. F.
Russell to close his mammoth store at
6 O'Clock so as to give his employees the
advantage of the cool of the evening
for good rest. Mr.. Russell will also
give each of his clerks weeks vaca-
ton to DO as they please and draw full
pay. This is certainly commemorate
IN him and shows a consideration for
the good of his help not often shown
by employers. He has built up his
immense trade by business and fairness
with ms customers and by keeping
good corps Of clerks. and as long as he
treats his clerks as human beings cap
able of doing business, as he always
does, his business will continue to
grow and increase.
The Fourth in Audubon was q day
when even the wind sighed lonesome
~. Scarcely person could be seen4
on the streets during the day. A large
portion of the population went either
to the neighborihg towns to celebrate
or to some private small gathering. A
large number went to Manning to
cheer our fire department on to vic
tory. larger number went to our
sister town OF Extra to enjoy the shade
and whatever of amusement might be
going. In the evening few had pro-
vided fire works for the pleasure of
their children. Audubon should shake
on her lethargy next Fourth and make
it the greatest celebration ever held in
the county, as Extra now claims, and
justly too, the greatest celebration vet
held in the county.
| Miss Edna Detwiler closed her school
in NO. Douglas township with
picnic in her fathers grove, where
about sixty gathered to show their APP
probation of what she had done.
After visiting awhile a bounti-
tul feast was spread where, in the
shade under the spreading trees, tie
older ones recalled their school day
and the younger ones thought wi
regret OF the teacher they were losi
After dinner program was rende
which showed thorough training
the part of the teacher, and, too,
ability on her part to instruct
pupils, not only in book know
but in the greater knowledge O
world. Many regrets were hear,
every side that Miss Edna would
again teach this fall. Mr. Sayre sp,
in behalf of the patrons thankil
Miss Detwiler for the improvement
made in the school during her reign
She is one of the best teachers in tn,
comfy and in losing her for the fal
term the profession loses one of it
