DR.. G. R. Neff left Tuesday morning
for Ottumwa, where he has purchased
property at 104 South Jefferson
street and expects to make that his flu
ture home. DR.. Neff is one of Farm
ington's oldstand-bys, both as physi-
clan and citizen, and will be greatly
missed. AS citizen he has always
been public spirited and done much to-
ward the building UP of the town, al
ways favoring any needed improve

of the burden, whether it be by taxa

future in his new field.-Farmingto
