CIR EELEY.

MISS mary Eagan, daughter OF m.
Eagon, was under a DOCTORS care the
latter part of the week.
Mr.. Knudsen was removed from his
home in northeast Greeley to the Au-
dubon hospital. His condition is
very serious.
Mrs. Howard Kelly is on the sick
list this week.
DR.. Fulton was called to the Will
Eagan home Sunday morning. Little
Mary was i'll.
Once again was Ira Johnson's home
the scene Of a merry dance Saturday
night.
Miss Amy Goochy closed a very
successful term of school at No. 6 Fri
day, June 10.
Ira Johnson and Mrs. Will Eagan
were summoned to the bedside of their
mother who lies very sick at Extra.
We fought for principle
And with the vanquished few
Stand with a conscience pure
AS pearly drops of dew.
Four hundred ballots deep
Lies Truth-ah shameful tale!
Yet, mighty, will it rise
And over all prevail.
The Register-Leader of June IA
takes quite a pessimistic attitude to-
ward the present negotiation for peace
between Russia and Japan. 1t seems
to think that if Japan is not permitted
to pound Russia into such desperate
straits as will make her sue for peace,
that the peace will not be stable.
The basket dinner at the Union
Baptist church Sunday night wrote
one of the most pleasant pages in the
history of the church, Notwithstanding
the fact hal the vast crowd was pre-
maturely dispersed by boisterous
thunder-bumpers that went brawling
past late in the afternoon.
A PARTING WORD
OF curse you we'll remember that
little slip of paper you met with on
June l3 in the vicinity of the ballot
booth which made the boastful state
cinity would give $40, 600 toward a new
traordinary for the simple reason that
Iol liz IoNh III "llCh IL COuII IlOuS0 Is
located to give more than does q
other part of the county is NOT ordin-
airy. Therefore, every sane mind
must yield to the force of its reason
ing powers and admit that the town
of Audubon is the innocent victim of
an inOrdinate demand which by the
peculiar circumstances is made ex-
tremely embarrassing to our county,
and disgusting to the honest thinking
class. The most amazing feature Of
the act is the audacious claim that a
philanthrOpic feeling for the poor
farmer is the mother of the little ILL
bred child, when every man whose
name is on that paper knows full well
that it is an evil thing brought forth
from the dark realms of envy and
malice for the express purpose of
harassing the town of Audubon in
her honest efforts TO secure the county
a much needed improvement. We are
forced to admit that the names of
some of our best people appear on
that paper, but any one a see that
they were placed there during the evil
and brief dictatorship of envy and
narrowness. They have done this
county a permanent injury by divid-
ing it against itself, harmful conditions
that will linger for years. If Extra
should ask for a county high school
or anything else, she would immed-
lately feel the evil reaction of her own
rash deed. Audubon and parts re-
mote from Extra would likely say,
Put up for the extra benefits of prox-
unity" which we we'll know are Incl
dental to public improvements and
are never mentioned except when the
social body is afflicted with ulcers of
sectionalism, which, along with an
antiquated aversion to taxation, ap-
pears to be the very formidable OBJ
stacle that confronts the progress of
Audubon county. Albeit that this
little slip bears the names of some of
our most respected people, it will go
down in this county's history as THE
ROLL OF DISHONOR;" because it is the
meanest little trick that a set of citi-
zens ever perpetrated against their
county's government.
Not a roll of honest thinkers,
But a list of petty ''stinkers;''
That's a fact.
We shall blush and hurriedly
Pass from where our history
Stares that act.
AFTER THE FIGHT.
Well! we'll! "by ging!"
The same old thing
Stands there just as
1t always has
Since Audubon
First lSaw the sun.
Who is to blame
For this rank shame
OF leaving that
Old brick gas vat
That social wart
Where we hold court
Stands there, an lad"
To tell how bad
We are fin need
OF being freed
From chains that bind
The human mind
To thing that roll
Dirt on the soul?
Posterity
Will frown to see
Our lack of sense
And negligence,
Our public needs
Choked by foul weeds
Sad to relate
Some cultivate
Those noxious things
Whose weeds have wings
To bear them far
Fair scenes to mar
