Attention, Land Purchasers!

Will you need money to pay for the
land you bought?
If so NOW is the time to arrange for it!
The enormous sale of land all over
Iowa and the high price paid means a
greater demand for money next spring
than has ever been known before. This
also means a close money market and
possibly higher rates of interest The
wise man looks ahead and does not wait
until the last moment. We have Il large
fund that we can rely upon and are TAX
ing applications daily for March 1st,
next. In the 81 years we have been loan
ing money in Audubon and adjoining
counties we have never disappointed a
patron. Come in NOW and make your
arrangements and your money will be
ready for you when wanted. We loan
on both first and second mortgages and
will do as we have always done in the
past, make larger loans on better terms
than any one else can possibly do. We
will be glad to see you and give you
terms. NASH & PHELPS,

The Lights Went Out

Sunday evening during the services
at the different churches, using electric
light, they were left in sudden and
total darkness because of n broken dyna-

and supplicating the Lord for more light
which seemed appropriate to the time
and place About the time that some
of the brethren who had gone after

BIG DRIVE OF PuLPwooD
Thousands of Feet of Logs in Con-
nectI0St River.

The annual drive OF logs from the
wild Ammonoosuc river in New
Hampshire, which has been cut the
last season by the international Paper
Co. has been doomed at the mouth Of
that river during the last two weeks
until all of the ten million feet have
reached there Within few days II
has been let out into the Connecticut.
The annual drive of the latter this
year amounts TO thlrtysix million
feet and has been cut as follows:
Four and one-half millions on Perry's
stream in the township OF Pittsburg
n. H., the northernmost town OF the
state two million on what is known
as the Colebrook Academy Grant in
ColebroOk, n. H.; twenty million on
Pau's stream and its tributaries in
the towns of CRANKY and Ferdinand,
and about eight and one-half million
feet from along the east branch OF
the Nulhegan river in the town Of
Bloomfield These different lots are
being assembled in the Connecticut
near North Stratford, \. H., and with
a few million feet bought BY Mr.. Van
Dyke at various points south of there,
will be brought down the river to
their Holyoke mills in the next two
months.
The average amount Of lumber in
the annual drives the last ten years
has been about forty millions. but last
year it was a little less than thirty
millions.

Col. Young's Withdrawal.

The expected has happened in the
withdrawal by Col. Bennett II. Young
of Louisville, KY. of his acceptance
to speak in st. Adams during the
Champlain tercentenary celebration;
and we are of the opinion that Yer
mont will be ashamed, terribly asham-
ed of the minority sentiment which
raised such a protest as to make IL
encumbent on a self respecting man
to refuse the engagement. While Col
Young's participation in the st. AL
bans raid looked to Vermonters at
the time like a mere guerilla incur
sion and without any definite plan of
campaign and without sanction per-
haps, from the Confederacy, histori-
ans record that Col. Young was a reg
ularly commissioner officer in the Con
federate army, that the st. Adams
raid was part of desperate chance of
the Confederacy to recoup it's waning
fortunes of war and that is was rec
ognized at the time by the Confeder-
ate government. We sincerely re.
greet this slap in the face to a worthy
citizen of the Stars and Stripes and
we regret more the tendency to re-
open the old wounds which were SO
happily healing.
AT this late date officers in the old
Union army are not so shabbily treat
ed in the South as Col. Young has
been treated here, and the South suf-
fered immeasureably more from guer-
rilla warfare and individual depred-
atoms than was melted out to st. AL
bans back in 1864. Yet because we
felt the sting of one little incursion
some of us refuse to accept the hand
OF peace.-Barre Times.

of the physicians, the order was fol-
lowed, and Brandeweide began to
