sent herewith a portrait of this en-

him to the community. On behalf of
our people we welcome him and hope
that he may prosper and grow to
love Denison as we love it. The
following from the Missouri Valley
Times will show how. Mr.. Lyon was
regarded in his old home.

Broadway grocery stock in Denison,
Iowa. and will take possession of
the same Monday. January 18th.

stantial business men of Missouri
Valley for the past twenty years. He
has always been at the front in any
enterprise that was for the up-build-

be missed from the business circles
Of this city. He is an enterprisinp

WHAT TO LEARN.

WHAT TO LEARN
Learn to laugh. good laugh is better than
medicine.
Learn to attend strictly to your own bust
Mesa very important point.
Learn to tell a story. well told story is as
wholesome as sunbeam in sick room.
Learn the art of saying kind and encourag-
ing things, especially to the young.
Learn to avoid ill-natured remarks and
everything calculated to create friction.
Learn to keep your troubles to yourself
The world is too busy to care for your ills and
sorrows.
Learn to stop croaking. II you cannot see
any good in this world, keep the bad to your
self.
Learn to hide your aches and pains under a
pleasant smile. No one cares whether you
nave the earache, headache or rheumatism.
Learn to greet your friends with a smile
Iney carry too many frowns in their own
hearts to bother with yours.

Sadie.
