G. A. L. Loomis and T. A. Eckstein
returned the latter part of last week
from Colfax, Iowa, bringing with them
six head Unregistered Belgian horses,
purchased from John lilimee, of Prai-
rie City. The EckStein'S purchases
were three fine brood mares and stall
lion colt, and Mr.. Loomis bought two
equally as fine bred mares. The mares
weigh from 1900 to 1880 pounds and
are first class representatives of this
popular breed of horses. Messrs Eek
stein and Loomis are among the most
progressive of Howard county's live
stock breeders and are continually adj
ding to their herds and fiocks, animals
that are a great credit to Howard
county'S fine stock interests and their
latest additions are in line with the
best of them.
Rev. A. V. Gorrell at the morning
service announced his purpose, with
the permission of the Bishop, to close
VI EplSCOpdl
church the first of June. During his
service here he has made many warm
friends especially among the young;
they from whom recruits must be had
for future membership in the church.
He is held in high esteem not only by
the members of his own church, but
by all the other denominations of
Cresco as we'll. The membership of
the parish is small, very many of its
communicates being entirely unable
to contribute anything toward his
support. If his resignation is accepted
by the Bishop, its effect will be to
close the church for regular religious
service for time, though the faithful
workers will continue the Sunday
school and through the efforts of it's
Literary and Social Club, will en-
deavor to keep alive in the young,
their devotion to the church, and
their acquaintance with each other,
and with the church ordinances.
