CONSOLIDATION.
First National Bank of Audubon
Has Bought Outright the Corn
Exchange Bank of this City
and Taken Possession.

Like thunderbolt out of a clear
sky was the news Tuesday last, to the
effect that the First National Bank
had bought the Corn Exchange Bank,
and had moved everything out of the
First National on the corner, and the
Corn Exchange had moved into the
vacated building of the First National,
not as bank, however, but rather as
private office, in which Mr.. Arnold
and Mr.. Green will transact Mrs. Stu
arts immense business affairs.
In the exchange of buildings Mr..
VanGorder procures fine room in q
quiet spot, and one of the best safes
and vaults in the United States,
where valuables will be absolutely
safe from fire and other destructive
elements, and would puzzle the most
expert cracksmen to reach its inner
chamber.
1t must have been like leaving
home to Messrs. VanGorder and
Watts, having been in the old stand
on "busy corner" for nearly a quarter
OF century. To leave it, with it's
memories of decade, and with q
business grown from infancy to q
giant as it were, must appeal TO a man
as delicate proposition.
Everything in the banking line will
be transacted with perfect safety to
the public, in the future rs in the past.
The name of VanGorder in the bust
ness world brings confidence to man
in distress, and smooths the ripples of
the financial waves Success, old
friend!

CEMENT.
A Factory at Kimballton that is
Turning Out a Superior Pro-
duct. A Live Firm.

Have you ever met George Hen
ningson and Laurits Petersen, the
men who know cement? A more gem
ia] pair 1t is hard to find. Not many
years ago they erected building in
Kimballton for the manufacture of
cement in various shapes and for
many uses. They have been working
away against public sentiment now
fast coming to that stage where they
were obliged to recognize Its merits.
Wednesday last these two gentlemen
appeared before the board of county
supervisors and contracted to build
the smaller bridges and culverts for
the county for the year 1907.
Their work has stood the test, and
the people are Satisfied that it is the
solution to the building material prob
lem that so worries those who have
buildings to erect. And in this cor
nectlon we may add that our great
Edison has discovered that "a house
can be built in day. The fact being
that it is simply a matter of prepar-
ing the molds and filling them with
the material intelligently mixed as
Messrs. Henningson and Peterson
know how to mix it. We are glad to
record that our county recognizes 8
home industry.

MUTUAL TELEPHONE.
All Running Satisfactorily, Patrons
Not Appearing at Annual Meet
ing, Old Officers Hold
Over.

We notice with agreeable surprise
the satisfactory manner the mutual
telephone lines are handled in the
county now, as compared with a few
short years ago, when it looked like
"human gore" was all that would ap-
pease the wrath of some of the pa
irons. Last week was the annual
meeting of the Mutuals and there not
being a quorum present, the old Off
GERS hold over. There is no question
but that Mr.. Simpson, who is devot-
ing his entire time to the business,
has brought the service up to it's pres
ent efficiency, and 80 adjusted all diff.
erences heretofore existing that the
patrons are working in harmony.
There is little more yet to be done in
this direction before it is perfect, and
doubtless this will be attended to in
time.

BOTH GONE.
Two Old Friends and Neighbors Of
Muscatine County Journeyed to
Audubon County in 1875,
and Bought Land in
Cameron Township.

During the year 1875 Robert Coch
ran aud James McMichael, both of
Muscatine county, and who for many
years bad lived on adjoining
farms, regarding each other as the
golden rule requires. They became
aware that their boys were we'll on to
the age when they would leave home
and begin to work for themselves.
Talking the matter over one day they
came to the conclusion that to buy
some Of the cheap land of Audubon
county would be the best thing they
could do to give the boys start.
SO these two old men some time
ago came trampiDg along through
Cameron township, and each bought
half-a-section of the fine prairie that
is so common up in the northern part
OF the county. In 1875 the boys were
sent out to the new farms-William
Cochran on the one side of the road,
and Jack McMichael TO look after
the other. They labored long and
hard through the breaking season,
and when fall came they backset the
entire lot they had broken. In the
meantime they had built little shacks
and commenced to batch, and were
quite successful in keeping body and
soul together.
The next season they titled all this,
breaking it to wheat, and while the
crop was growing started their break
ing teams again. Year after year they
kept the breaking team going, until
they finally became masters OF the
situation, with fine farms broken out.
Along in the early eighties Mr. Rob-
ert Cochran built fine house and
barn on his farm, and moved his fam.
lily from his Muscatine home to his
new possessions in Audubon county
to better develop them. Mr.. McMich-
ael, however, instead of moving out
here sent two of his boys to help work
the place. After few years residence
on the farm Mr.. Cochran moved to
Audubon, where he died soon after
wards at good, old age.
Mr.. James McMichael fingered
along on his Muscatine farm until
two weeks ago, when he too went to
that far off land from whence no
traveller returns. Uncle Jim McMich-
ael and Uncle Bob Cochran will be
affectionately remembered by the old
pioneers Of Cameron OF whom but a
very few are left

The Presbyterian Church Resolutions.
Passed by the Congregation,
Complimentary to the Work
and Character of DR..
COnybeare.

AT the close of the regular services
last Sunday morning, meeting of
the membership was held by request,
and the Presbytery asked to dissolve
the relation of pastor and people, so.
that the former may accept the call to
the chvrch at Cedar Rapids. Mr.. c.
u. Christensen was elected trustee
instead of j. f. Russell, removed from
the city; and L. F. Green was chosen
as an elder. The following resolu-
tions We're passed: Be it resolved by
the members of this church and con.
gregation, ass bled this third day of
February, l907:-
Firstly: That it is with great sorrow
we have heard the request of our pas.
tor for the dissolution of the pastoral
relation which has been so satisfactory
for the short time he has been with us.
Secondly: That we wish to express
our endorsement and appreciation Of
Mr.. Cony beare's work with us; that
he has labored earnestly and faithfully
for the upbuilding of the Masters
kingdom; and that while his labors
have been blessed, we cannot but feel
that, had he chosen to remain here
longer, they would have been more
abundantly blessed in the time to
come.
Thirdly: However, as Mr.. Coay.
beare thinks it is duty to accept the
call to the Central Park Church Of
Cedar Rapids, we respectfully yield to
his wishes In the matter, and unite
with him in asking the Presbytery of
Council Bluffs to dissolve the pastoral
relation, and can only hope it will rel
suit in good to him and for the good
of the church here.
