Lester Kester, of Douglas township,
and Edward Baldwin, of Carroll, were

The standard of the school has been
raised so in the town that it pays the

the course here.
The revival meetings at the u. B.
church still continue with growing in
terest Several have manifested de-
sire for prayers and most are deeply
interested. They expect to continue

The carpenter work is at last COM
pleted on the new hchoolhouse and all
the pupils are now located in it. Soon
everything will be like clock work
when pupils and teachers have been
together for awhile and Prof Cunning
ham gets things to going as he wants
them to.
The M. w. A. building is going up
fast now; The boys are all out and
working hard for its early completion.

nothing for carpenter hire as there
are enough of the boys who are good
carpenters so they can 60 ahead with
everything.
Geo. Gray sold all the corn he has in
the cribs here amounting to about
10000 bushels, this week to John Lik-

the men who believes this is the year
to feed and so intends to keep his cat
tie for the summer markets.
Jim Foster, manager of the Trans
Mississippi Elevator, had break down
in the engine last Friday and had to
telegraph to Omaha for supplies. The
goods returned Saturday and Jim
went at it to adjust the parts which
were the most delicate in the engine
and which usually require an expert
to fix. But Jim did the job to perfec-
ton and soon had it ready to work.
This proves that Jim is more than an
ordinary mechanic and thoroughly
understands an engine.
We are indebted to Milton Goodnow,
buttermaker for the Gray creamery,
for the names and grades Of the final
test in the butter contest at the Buffa-
10 exposition, which gives all the boys
in Iowa who were in, and which may
be found in the Audubon department
of this paper. Milt is ever watchful
of the dairy interests of the county
and this community will live to see
the day when the largest income is in
the dairy and butter making facilities
he has helped to foster and grow up
and he is deserving of much credit.
