Charles Troy made us a call Tues
day of last week as he was on his
way to Oskaloosa to attend the fair.
He informed us that he had been en-
~tertaining two of his old friends,
Jerry Libby and Jacob Hines, both
"a years of age They came to Iowa
in 1843 with Mr.. Troy, who says he
landed at the site where Eddyville
now stands May /, 1843, and was
taken care of at an old Indian hotel
which would look very ancient to the
travelling public of today. We are
requested to ask all of the men now
living in Mahaska county, who came
here as early as 1913, to send their
names to the HERALD Office during
the next few weeks so when all are
in they a be published.
@. B. Rowland arrived home Sun
day morning from the Nebraska state
fair at Lincoln, where he had been
with his fine herd of Galloways. He
captured the following premiums at
Iowa state fair:
I'd on aged bull, 2-yr old heifer,
yearling heifer, heifer calf and LIST on
bull calf, LIST and I'd on aged COW, 1st
on aged herd, yearling herd, best
showing by n sire, best produce of
one COW, sweepstakes on cow and
on bull calf.
We would say the bull that took
LIST in the aged class was bred and
sold by Rowland & Son, and one
other matter of interest to Mr.. Row
lands friends is that the COW that
was given Sd in her class won 1st
prize as a calf at the Worlds Fair
some years ago.
At Lincoln, Neb., the following
awards were made to the Rowland
herd: 1st and I'd in all ages through
the class and 2 herd prizes and four
sweepstakes, in fact, cleaned up the
whole business, so to speak, There
were two other herds exhibited, faI
larger in number, but the quality
was not there.
