We noticed in the T.-R. of Saturday
evening that Boone is to vote on a
franchise to give e. 3. Hughes and
others the right to operate an electric
road in that city. There is not a man
in Iowa today that stands as high
among those who know him personally
as does Mr.. E. e. Hughes. He is a
peer among men, one whose word and
honor are never questioned. AT the
time he was assistant superintendent
OF she c. & N. w. on the Iowa division
he was respected and loved by all with
whom he came in contact and among
the travelling fraternity he was looked
up to as man of high honor, and one
who always wished to do everything
that was right. There should be no
question raised, as to the company he
represents not doing as they agree We
only hope he may at some future day
succeed in running this road to Mar
shalltown.
q. ]. Barber, until July salesman
for Hunt, Helm Ferris & Co., of HAIR
ward, ILL.,, has taken the exclusive
agency for the speed washers made at
Grinnell, Iowa, for the territory of Wis.,
consin and Michigan, with lleaduuar-
tiers at Milwaukee. The company ex-
pect to put out a number Of statesmen
in the next ninety days. g. ]. was at
home most of last week and while here
| made arrangements to move his family
| to Milwaukee.
The new time card which takes eff
feet today on G. G. W., changing the
time Of two passenger trains, the one
going south at 6:25 p. m. instead OF
7:05 p. m, will be appreciated by the
travelling men living in Marshalltown
as this will bring us home in time for
supper. The other change is the one
going north at 1920 p. m. instead OF
I7:05.
