Grandma Nc Leran las been a very
sick lady. The disease seems to be of
an apoplectic nature. Many OF her
children and grandchildren were at
her bedside. All hope for her recov-
cry and for many days yet to be
spent with her worthy husband, Cap

some OF our pioneers and it is hard to
think of parting, but we trust not
through affiiction and suffering.
The J. F. Russell store is closed.
The stock is being packed and gen.
eral report is that it will go to GIth-
RE Center. 1t seems queer to have
this, the Oldest firm in the county,
out Of business. Their motto, "It's
right if you got it at Russelps" has
become by word in many homes of
truth and they are both to change
from the old place. If all the hosts
that have gone in and out those doors
could be marshalled it would make
mighty army. If all the goods could
be piled in piles it would cover an
immense space.
Jesse Richards, foreman at the cleo
trio light plant, and Miss Elsie Kris

| they will find themselves the possess
ors of nice bunch of property shortly
A more industrious young man than
Jess cannot be found or more careful
painstaking, economical and neat
young lady than Miss Kristiansen
cannot be found in Audubon county.
They will indeed make life a success.
