MARTIN JENSEN & Son.
Yesterday a party of seven far
ners s miles west of town, each
armed with scoop shovel came to
town in a sled after several hours
hard work shoveling a road and
then many places the fences were
taken down to avoid immense snow
drifts in the deep cuts.
Banker Beckwith is dead 1t is a
| sad, sad, story. A man once honor
ed, respected and revered, brought
| to the criminals cell in his declin-
| ing years, there to die in ignomin-
| ious obscurity and all through the
agency of beguiling woman.
| Who doubts that Beckwith well
coined death:
In the fear that an item which
recently appeared in the journal
| may have been misunderstood we
wish to state that the Mr.. Darland
| who received the prize at the mas
querade ball at Hamlin ia not G.. r.
Darland who teaches at Hamlin
Center but a different party We
trust Charley's many friends will
| note this.
Mr.. Ira Black, late of Griswold,
has located in this city and having
secured shop room in the Hicks
blacksmith shop, is now prepared
| as an expert machinist to do all
work in his line from the repairing
of sewing machine to thresher,
in neat and workmanlike manner
He is also prepared to do plumb
| ing and other work which he will
| acquaint our readers of in short
time.
Earl ]. Walker and Miss Belle
Graham of Audubon township
were married by Rev. Aten at the
M. E. parsonage here Wednesday
last. The bride is the daughter OF
| Charles w. Graham, while the
groom is the son ct Rev. Walker
who formerly lived near Extra. The
couple will make their home on a
| farm near the brides parents in
Audubon Township. The Journal
congratulates.
| On account of impossible roads,
the Rev. Stevenson was unable to
hold his quarterly meeting at Ham
lin, last Sabbath. He also intend
ed to hold the quarterly meeting on
the Audubon Circuit, Monday, but
| from the same cause it was post
poned till a more remote date, no.
tice of which will appear in the
! Journal later. A few of the official
mem bers of the church assembled
at the NJ. f.. church here Saturday
and the business of the conference
was attended to.
February 16, 1905, being the third
day that this railroad has been
without train, with the mercury
lowering around the forties and al
times reaching it, with half the PEG
pie out of coal, and the awful intel
ligence that there is an oil famine
on hand, we pause to ponder, anc
think of less favored towns. On {
pinch we can use wood for fuel anc
procure it from onr natural timber
near at hand. And from our fat
cattle that adorn nearly every farm
er's feed yard, we can manufacture
our tallow to make our "dips" al
our grandparents used to do. ST.
we should be thankful, while SUI
tering mentally.
After looking about for som,
time, Ira N. Black has decided te
start machine repair shop in xxi
ra in the near future. Ira has hae
good deal of experience in an en-
terprize of this kind. During tn.
years that he lived in Council
Bluffs he was employed in one o
the largest machine repair shop
in that city and possessing NOR
than the ordinary natural talent il
the handling of all kinds of ma
chinery he will undoubtedly maxi
a success when doing for him sell
He hopes to have his business mat
tiers arranged shortly so that he cal
have his new enterprise in perfec
operation for spring work.-Gris

With the mercury down to it
lowest depths for Iowa, where

Rock Islaud packed with solid sno,
so that trains discontinued thei
trip yesterday. With only one trail
on this branch for three days, an
the train at this time stuck in
snow drift near Lorah where it ha
been for two days, and the suppl
of coal in this town being ea
hausted and the devil running owe
town borrowing wood from tn
neighbours wood piles. If the new
items are scarce and the pape
don't appear to be az good readin
as usual, ascribe it to the element'
