Local Comment

The merchants of Marshalltown who
were dumbfounded at the volume of
their Christmas trade which came
from points outside of the county
should take off their hats to the Times
Republican. 1t pays to advertise in
mediums that have circulation.
Never need the merchants of this city
hope for any better trade than they
had this year for 1t was good enough
for any man but there will yet be bet
ter years if the stores are continually
made larger and better and the goods
thoroughly advertised.
& e
1T is gratifying to note the universal
response made to the suggestion that
people should dispense some real
charity. Such movement was never
seen before in this city not even in
1860. But the brief experience, obtained
by this newspaper has emphasized the
need of a permanent organization. In
the first place the reporters found real
and acute distress existing at our very
doors. Then when the T.-R. attempted
to be trustee of the funds it was dis
covered that no one on it's force knew
where to spend the money intelligently

kEPFoRD LECTURE TUESDAY.
State Lecturer on tuberculosis Shoulc
Be Warmly Greeted.


The lecture to be given in this city
Tuesday afternoon under the auspices
Of the City Federation of Women's
clubs, should attract good interest on
the part Of the public. DR.. A. p. KEEP
ford, of Des 'Moines, state lecturer on
tuberculosis, is to be the speaker, and
will take as his subject Some Aspects
Of tuberculosis" With question of so
much Importance to be solved by city,
state, and nation, any and all informa-
ton that can be secured should be well
coined by the public. To eradicate the
disease is largely question of educa-
ton on the part OF the public, and as
Dr. Kepford has made his subject one
of special study and widee observation,
what he has to say will doubtless be
accepted as coming from an authorita-
tive source. The lecture is to be given
at the public library auditorium.

old farce comedies by this author
which years ago was exceedingly pop

matinee audience was one of the larg
est in years, and some were turned
away at the door at night. The story
of the play has not been changed ma
terially, but both the musical numbers
and the specialties are new. The play
was presented by fairly good com
pany.
