The Advocate Orders Linotype Ma
chine.

After considering the increase of business
this Office is enjoying the Democratic Advo-
cate Company at special meeting of the
directors on Monday thought it advisable and
placed an order with the Mergenthaler Limo
type Company, of New York. for an up to-
date Linotype machine. The machine is to
be delivered to this Office in 60 days from date
of order.
The linotype is machine controlled by
finger keys like IA typewriter, which creates
new type matter as demanded. ready for the
press. Instead of producing single type
characters it casts type metal bars or slngs,
each complete in one piece and having on the
upper edge, properly justified, characters TO
print line. These answer the same purpose
and are to be used in the same manner as
composed in type matter.
The linotype is a single machine, operated
by one man, producing at Il single operation
the finished product directly in response to
the operation of the keyboard. 1t composes
matter more rapidly than can be done in any
manner. 1t does away with worn and battered
type and always gives IL new, clean dress.
The directors will ia the near future install
a large up-to date newspaper press in addi
ton to their already well equipped plant.

and accepted the passionate of the
Mayflower Congregational church of

sisted with revival services at River

that church has made thorough in
vestigation of his work in the church
es in which he has served and one
week ago last Sunday Prof. Fitzgerald
of the Sioux City high school was
sent here to spend the Sunday and
learn further of his work. His report
was very favorable and Rev. Walcott
was telephoned the fact that they de-
sired his services and unanimous call
was extended him. unsolicited by him.
The members of this church are sorry
to lose him. but could not expect him
to remain in such a small field when
the above field was offered. All are
glad that the kindest relationship ex-
listed with him and this field and wish
him abundant success and blessings in
his new field. Rev. Robert Grigsby
of Madrid. who is personal friend
of Rev. Walcott's, preached here last
Sunday morning and evening and a
call was extended him to this church
which he accepted. and he will at once
move here and take up the work.
