Charles E. Ladd is president Of
the Laid Metals company. This
company owns the splendid mining
proposition at Mineral City, on the
Idaho side of Snake river, and has
secured the handling of all copper
ore to be taken from the Iron Dyke
mine, 65 miles from Huntington.
1t is currently understood that the
Laid Metals company is to promptly
erect 200-ton smelter and samplinp
works at Iron Dyke, that is, the town
OF Homestead, and 100 ton smelter
at Mineral City.

The tabernacle meeting on the school
ground closed last Sunday evening
with large attendance and deep inter-
est. There will be regular services i'm
the church next Sunday morning and
evening.
The meeting proved of great interest
to those who were able to attend and
follow the thoughts presented. Rev.
Danner by his clear kind logical way
won the confidence and love of the
church in marvellous way. Although
the meetings were under the auspices
of the church, holiness association
was organized with q membership of
about thirty, which is an auxiliary to
the Iowa Holiness Association. The
following officers were elected: Pres.
Rev. Conner, Vice =. Charley KILLER,
Sec. Mrs. Augusta Baker, Treas. j.
Butterton, Librarian Mrs. Mary
Wilde. This association will meet
every Friday evening for prayer and
bible study and the first Friday in
each month will hold an all day meet
ing. The purpose of the society will
be to promote deeper spiritual life
among Gods people and the saliva
tion of sinners. Every one is invited

Musson-Grimth.

Miss Laura A. Musson and Mr.. j.
E. Griffith were married yesterday at
IL O'Clock at the home of the brides
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Mus
son, of this city.
Miss Susie Musson, sister of the
bride, played march, "The Flower
Song" by Gustave Lang, as the bri-
dial party entered. Rev Smith, for
merly of this place, but now of Mon
roe, friend of the family, conducted
the ceremony. The decorations were
in good taste and in harmony with the
occasion. After the ceremony dinner
followed, which was served by Misses
Emma Culver, Lowene VanGorder and
Belle Burnside. The wedding was a
rather quiet affair, only relatives and
few close friends being present.
Those from away were the groom's
parents, Mr.. and Mrs. j. +. Griffith
Sr. of Carroll; his sister, Mrs. Drake,
also OF Carroll; Frank Butler, of Des
Moines, cousin of the bride, and
Miss Arlie Vail, of Atlantic. Misses
Name and Lou Davis and Mr.. and
Mrs. Rippey were also present.
Mr.. and Mrs. Griffith went to Car
roll last evening where they will visit
a short time with his parents. A re-
ception will be given them there to-
morrow. They will be home to their
friends after August Is in their ele-
giant new home on Church street which
has been awaiting them.
Both the'bride and groom are very
well known in Audubon and loved and
esteemed by large of friends. Mr..
Griffith was for four years editor of
the REPUBLICAN and is now of the
drug firm of j. E. Griffith g. Co. His
bride was bookkeeper for some time
in the Commercial bank. They are
richly deserving of all thegood wishes
now showered on them.

Mrs. Charles j. Poulson, died Thurs
day evening of last week. II was
only about six months old but had

One OF the most remarkable exhibits
of swine ever seen on this continent
will be held at the Iowa State fair.
which will be held in Des Moines from
August Il to 20. 1t is likely to break
the record in this state. Superintend-
ent w. M. McFadden, who is in
charge of the swine department, says
indications are he will have a larger
showing OF hogs than last years At
that time, the pens were all filled to
their capacity, with over l, 100 head of
hogs. A larger number will, in all
probability, be exhibited this year.
Much will be added to the attractive
ness of the exhibition by the erection
of the new judging pavilion for swine,
which is practically completed.

Sheriff Anderson returned from Du-
buque yesterday where he had been
attending the meeting of the Sheriffs'
Association of Iowa, of which he was
president the past year. Mr.. Ander-
son now sports gold-headed cane, a
present from the association given
him as a mark of honor. OF course
he is justly proud of it. From the
Dubuque papers we observe that May
or Burg greeted the association with
a speech of welcome and that Presi-

speech being given complete. 1t is a

Prof. Rockers Little Girl Very Low,
The little daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
F. P. Hooker is hardly expected TO
live the rest of the day. She has been
in poor health several months, being
affected with tuberculosis. She has
been better and worse, alternating
their hopes and fears, but few days
ago the trouble developed into tuber-
cular meningitis and she was thrown
into violent spasms. DR.. Emmert was
here in consultation with DR.. Brooks
Tuesday. Clara is the only daughter,
is four years old and is sweet child.
Sympathy is universally expressed.

From what we observe, having been
across the state recently, and from
what we can hear from other, places.
as compared with other sections of
the country this year, Audubon
county is fortunate respecting crop
conditions. If this good weather con-
tinues week or two our farmers can
save their bountiful hay crop, and
harvest their fairly good small grain
crop. The corn is promising pretty
good on limited acreage. The pros
pect is that prices will more than
make up for the shortage in amount.
Audubon county land isn't hurt with
wet weather as bad as some less roll
ing country. The drouth in the east
was more serious there than wet
weather in the west. Iowa hay NAV
be bailed and shipped east. If not
shipped, the beef products from hay
and grass will be a good price. Au-
dubon county farmers have good
prospects for a successful year.
