turned for his fourth year is evil
dence that his work has been salts
factory to the church officials, but
it could not be otherwise, for he is
a hard worker, and has done much
to build up the church in this city.
He is popular alike with the mem
bers of his congregation and the
general public, and is always ready
and willing to do his part in any
public movement

next Sunday when Rev. Boyd will

POPULAR M. t. PASTOR
Rev. J. [. Boyd is Returned for His
Fourth Year as Pastor of the
Leon Methodist Church.

Tuesday morning the welcome
news was received in this city that
the M. E. conference in session at
Ames had returned Icons popular
pastor, Rev. j. L. Boyd. to the
church in this city for the coming
year, it being the fourth year he has
been assigned to the charge. The
assignment is specially pleasing to
the members of the Leon church and
the citizens of Leon in general, for
Rev. Boyd is one of the most popu-
lar pastors who ever served in Leon.
For three years he has been in
charge of the Leon church,, and dur
ing that time the membership has
steadily increased, and the financial
affairs of the church were never in
better condition.
The fact that Rev. Boyd is re-

Sunday morning Rev. John L. Gage
will give the same discourse which
he gave at the union meeting in the

Mail Contract Let.
tatOeS.

A telegram was received last Fri
day by Postmaster Stookey from the
post office department at Washing
ton, saying that the regular contract
for carrying the mails to and from
the depot had been awarded to Ori-
son Pease at S449 per annum, and
he commenced his duties Saturday
morning. Carrying the mails does
not occupy all of his time, especially
in the forenoon as there are no mail
trains from 6:45 to 11:5O o'clock,
and he has a position in the real es-
tate and insurance Office of Pease &
Pease for part of each day at $40
per month which all told will give
him a salary of about $50 per
month, which it is figured will be
remunerative employment.

"A High Glass Entertainment Course
Secured for Leon.

1t is with pleasure that we an
nounce that Leon is to have an en-
tertainment course for this winter.
Supt. Voelker has contracted for the
talent believing that the people of
Leon and vicinity will gladly sup
port that which assures so much in
the way of wholesome entertain
ment and instruction. 1t is to be
termed the Leon School Entertain
ment Course" and the aptness of
the name will be conceded when it
is known that season tickets will be
sold to school students for only SO
cents and in order to put this splen-
did array of talent within the reach
of all season tickets for adults will
be only 81. The course consists of the
following numbers:
The Ringler-Donovan Concerters
Totten, magician, impersonator,
Wiggam, popular lecturer, as good as
the best. Gringle, popular lecturer
Zwickey, crayon artist, master in
his line.
The Concert Co. opens the course
Oct. II, at the opera house with lots
of splendid music. Single admis-
sion 35 cents. The others will fol-
low at intervals of about one month.
The low price on season tickets can
be made only because the talent was
secured directly from the bureau,
thus saving agents commission, and
because some open dates were ac-
cepted. These persons appearing on
this course are not amateurs, but
have made good on the platform and
we run no risk in securing them. 1t
seems that under these conditions
every chair in the opera house would
be sold before the opening number.
