An Obituary

William Harrison Durbin, youngest
son of Mr.. and Mrs. J. w. Durbin,
was born in Viola township, Audubon
county, Iowa, April 81, 1900, and de.
parted this life April Is, 1907, aged
six years, eleven months and twenty
eight days.
Sorrows veil hangs heavily DER us.
Shutting out days glorious light;
And our path is filled with darkness
AS when falls the shades of night.
For we're thinking of our loved one
Who has gone from earthly woes,
Up to heavens blessed kingdom
Where the eternal music flows.
Little did we think, last Monday,
When at school he took his place,
That before three days had vanished
His little soul would be at rest.
But deaths angel came at nightfall
And in gentle tones spake He:
Willie, all your cares are over.
Now prepare to come with me.
There he lay upon his pillow,
AS if wrapped in slumber deep;
When his father then his mother
Tried to rouse him from his sleep.
But their efforts all we're useless,
For his little life had fled;
And the spark of life had vanished
And we knew that he was dead.
Parents, dear, altho' you miss him
With his ever cheerful face,
When you glance around the table,
AS you see one vacant place:
Brothers and sisters cease your weep
ing:
God does all things for the best;
Saw twas fit to take your brother
To his home among the blest.
We will miss thee, little Willie,
In our school and at our play;
Gone from earth, thy soul ascending,
Gone from us forever, aye.
! Everyone who knew him, loved him,
And his death has caused much grief
But our hearts we'll raise to heaven
And We'll surely find relief.

The F." Passed" Master

In connection with the talk about
passes and anti-passes, ofwhich much
has been heard the past year, we note
that John 7. Boylan, one of our spec
ial friends up at Eldora, is the most
literally passed +" gentleman in the
state. He carries q little pasteboard
that would make our late bereaved
railroad attorneys and surgeons green
with envy. In fact he is the . Passed ;"
Master of the whole Pass fraternity.
AS special agent of the r. +. ID. mail
service he carries pass signed by the
postmaster general which is good for
passage on all railroad lines, steam
ship lines, and stage lines on which
the United States mail is carried
throughout our country. Mr.. Boylan
is one of the most successful and most
trusted inspectors in the western divis.
ion of the service.

evening, April II, 1907, at six o'clock,

pressive. The bride was very becom-
ingly gowned and the groom wore the
conventional black. The home was
very Hastily decorated and by it's gala
appearance made the guests forget,
for the time being, the strife of lie

the bride and groom the best that
could be thought of. Mr.. and Mrs.
Miskimmins left last evening for Chi
cago on their wedding tour, and when
they return will be at home to their
friends in Cameron township.-The

Dust Storms In 1880

The Dexter Sentinel says that the in.
tense wind of the past few days recalls
to minds of old timers the spring OF
1880 when the dust storm swept over
this portion of Iowa, completely bury
ing the hedges in many places to a
depth Of several feet. The spring of
eighty, as the writer remembers it, was
a very dry one and a great deal OF
fall blowing had been done. There
was not somany groves and trees then
as now, the wind had a clean sweep
for miles, and the way that the dust
swept across the open fields was cer-
tainly something fierce, the likes of
which has not been witnessed since.

At meeting held here yesterday af-
ternoon a reorganization of the Nish-
nabotna Short Shipment Trotting and
and pacing circuit was effected the
name of the organization being chang
ed to The Nishnabotna Valley Short
Shipment trotting circuit and the or
ganization enlarged by the addmis-
sion of another member, the Shelby
county fair association, making four
instead of three as formerly. The as
ISOLATION was organized number of
years ago for the purpose of making
it possible for the fair association in
the territory to arrange uniform
ity. This year more of an effort to-
wards uniformity has been made than
ever with the result that the purses of.
fered in the races at all four of the
fairs are the same in all the races and
the race cards in all will be Identical.
The dates of the fairs to be held by
the four members of the circuit are as
follows; -Audubon, September 4, and
