1t will be noticed in reading
the proceedings of the board of

report has been adopted only in

is left out of the list. By in

experts, w. H. Wood and w.

fund behind or overdrawn
about $4,000 and if adopted and
balances extended, will cause
warrants on the county fund to
be stamped with the unwelcome
legend. "Not paid for want Of

There are some differences
in the ledger balances of the
school districts, which it is pro-
posed to adjust according to
the experts report.
Now there has been a con-
siderable sum paid out by this
county in the past five years
for expert examination in or
der that the exact condition of
the county's finances might be
all ascertained and known by

US to note the look of surprise
IN that fellows face that we

| Of the fact that he stopped the

will turn up his toes. His spite
ful heart will be slilled forever.
Neighbors and friends will fol-
'ow his lifelcss clay to the silent
city and lay him to rest among
the flowers. An obituary will
appear i'm these columns, telling
what a kind good father, good
neighbor and beloved citizen he
was which lie the recording
angel will overlook for charity's
sake and in a very short time
he will be forgotten. AS he lies
out in the grave yard wrapped

he will never know the last
kind word spoken Of him was

whoever he may be, will write

never a mean word, harsh or
cruel sentence will enter there

abused him; when death claims
you nothing but good will be

Old age is said to be honor
able, and if that is true, we GER
tainly are entitled to claim that
distinction, for on Sunday, July
21st, 1907, we passed our seth
mile post, and if we have never
done any thing else to distin-
guish US, we have lived to a
remarkable old age and can fall
back upon the old adage of
cold age is honorable"
In looking back of over the
past, we can think of no act of
ours that will entille US to dis
tinctlon or perpetGatcOur name
on the page of history, unless
it is the fact that we have lived
sc years, So of which have been
spent in Iowa, without commit
ting crime sufficient to put US
behind the bars. For over 40
years we have been engaged IN
publishing a paper, and strange
to say, a democratic paper in
Iowa, and today, although we
have said many things against
some of our brethren of the
press, and have had some harsh
sayings by them Of us, yet if
called upon today to name one
of these men who fell under our
displeasure, or of one who once
thought US ''real mean," we
could not name such an one,
and now in the close of an edi-
torial life, extended to forty
years, a large part of the time
being the most exciting and
eventful in the nations history,
we feel today that owe are at
peace with all the world and
the balance of mankind" One
other thing we may be permit
ted to say, and that is: With a
forty years experience we can
say the editors as a class, are
the very best of creation, and
when they err it is generally
on the side of justice and mercy
and the world should feel very
thankful for this kindly spirit,
for if editors should make pub
lie all they hear, but few would
live to celebrate their Seth birth
day. And now, with the new
year, we have concluded to rest
from our labors and "take il
easy,' hoping the people may be
able to survive the shock, anc
the country continue to prosper
and the people be happy.
