George is without doubt one of the
best known knights of the grip and
looks as we'll today as he did twenty
years ago. He does not work so hard
as formerly, working only about thirty
cities, where he used to work 165. He
spends half of his time at his home in
Whitehall. Mich. He told us last week
that there was no town on his route
that he hated to give up like MARSHALL
town, for he had so many dear friends
in our city.
Carroll 3. Johnston. of this city, who
last week took a position With the
Burrows Adding Machine Company, of
Cedar Rapids, expects to start on the
road in a short time. Mr.. and Mrs.
Johnston expect to move to Cedar
Rapids in the near future, but they
will soon find there is no place like
Marshalltown. We all wish Carroll
good luck in his new undertaking.
L. l.. Putzel, who has represented
the Marshall Oil Company so many
years, and has been on the sick list
so far this year, is fast recovering and

friends that he may be again able to

J. M. McNeal of Cedar Rapids, sales
man for the Cedar Rapids Candy
Company, was in Marshalltown one
day last week on his way home. j. NJ.
is on the sick list and was ordered to
go home at once and remain there un-
til he got perfectly well. Mr.. McNeal
has surely had his share of trouble in
the past few years.
F. w. Wilhelm. of Cloquet, Mimi.
with the Northern Lumber Company of
| the same city, was covering his west
ern Iowa territory last week. F. W.
is one of the good hearted travellers of
the road.
We are all sorry to lose Walter
Scott from the road, az ne was one
4 of the model knights of the grip. but
we wish him the good luck he deserves
in the coal BUSINESSES. Lee Derby, who
has taken his territory for the Clark
Coal and Coke Company, is one of
Marshalltown's brightest young men,
and We know every one out of our city
will give him lift whenever they cam
as he is deserving of every ones
| friendship.
The new train put on by the c. &.
\. w. TO run between Clinton, and Ce-
dar Rapids, leaving Clinton at 7:1O a.
m. and leaving Cedar Rapids on its
return trip at 6 p. m, is going to be a
very popular one with the travel-rs
This is the first time in years they
have had a morning passenger train
out of Clinton west, therefore great re-
joicing.
The c.. NJ & ST P. has done another
good thing that pleases the public. II
is the pulling up TO the freight depot
of the Monticello way freight. AS il
was before, passengers We're left t.
walk from the east end of the yards.

order compelling passengers to show
their tickets before getting on trains

a great annoyance to the public, pass.

I could not help but notice the diff
ference in the editorial III the T.-R. O
Wednesday, and the one in the Ceda
Rapids Republican of last Tuesda,
The T.-R. spoke nicely of mothers
day, while the Republican spoke sheer
ingly of the day. cit said in part: 81
we lived in Marshalltown we shoul
refuse to indulge in such a display. ]
: is all too professional and too perfume
tory. 1t looks like vulgarization Of TIL
hottest of sentiments. The love and re
membrance in which a man ought 1
hold his mother is too delicate and to
sacred to be Haunted in such ways
To one who visits Cedar Rapids ofte
1t does look as il they needed some
thing more than mothers day-a goo
cleaning up day, and I think they wi
surely get it when the Rev, Billy Sun
day arrives in their city about Octc
