Charles COlee Married

G. A. w. Colee, who was in town
Tuesday morning, reports that his son
Charles Colee was married to Miss
Grace Spencer. down at Atlantic, and
they will go to housekeeping at once
on the south partof the old home place
out in Greeley township. That will
make three of his boys occupying his
estate in the eastern part of the county
Noticing the household furniture he
had purchased for them standing in
front of Hoover's we remarked that he
and Mrs. Colee didn't have that kind
of stuff when they commenced to make
a home out on the prairie. mo,
indeed said he. " We didn't have
any brass bedsteads in those days. In
fact we didn't have any bedstead for
many months. | took pieces of fence
boards and nailed them to the stud
ding so as to make a frame on which
to lay a tick filled with hay, and a
feather bed Mrs. Colee's mother had
given her when we were married. The
other furnishings of the house we're
similar. During the first two years |
had no wagon. The first corn | husked
| hauled in with a pole sled. The first
year we dug potatoes on the shares
for a neighbor. When breaking sod
the next spring | planted those pota-
toes and had a big crop. Then | bor-
rowed my neighbours wagon and haul
ed enough to Anita, nineteen miles
miles away, at twenty-five cents n BUSH
ell to get a new wagon worth S54. The
young people now do not know much
about scrimping and saving as the

The friends Of DR.. Don d. Drake,
the dentist, were much surprised a few
days ago to learn that he had sold his
business and Office fixtures to John X.
Donaldson with the purpose of seek
ing a western home. The change was
effected Monday morning when DIR.
Drake left for South Dakota to es-
tabIish himself in one of those enter
prising towns pushing forward in that
growing state. He has had a good
business here and is a good workman.
There will be general regret that he
and his excellent wife are to leave
Audubon.
DR.. Donaldson is a son OF o. G.
Donaldson, the former recorder of this
county. After graduating from the
High school he studied dentistry at
the Iowa State University for several
years and last year at the North West
ern University at Chicago where he
graduated in June. This fact shows
that he is both capable and ambitious
and there is much in his favor for
making a successful member of the
profession,

Some Special Sales

The special sales at the Vermilya
and Bilharz stores continue this week
affording opportunities to their custo-
mers to lay in supplies at reduced
rates. We mention these sales, not
for the purpose of calling attention to
them because they are big enough for
everybody to see, and they speak for
themselves. But we refer to them to
emphasize the great benefit of adver-
Using to our readers. Many families
will attend these special sales, and
save anywhere from one to ten dollars
on their purchase because they saw
and read the advertisements in the
Audubon papers. Yet some of them
growl about too many advertisements
in the paper and never pay for 1t until
urged to do so by the publisher. The
point we are making is that the adver-
tisements in our paper are worth twice
over to everybody the amount of the
yearly subscription. When you come
to town to get the benefit of these
special sales and to attend Chautauqua
come around and pay your subscrip,
ton, pay us for sending these adver.
tiSements to your homes.

south bound train arrived that day
two trunks were unloaded that attract
ed much attention and comment. Thev
we're pasted all over with legends like
the following: "We're Married, " ''Oh
Happy We" and ''Lloyd and Ethel
introducing the new comedy Married
Life" The happy couple were met by
a gay crowd at the depot and conduct
ed to the home of the groOm's mother
who gave a reception for them that
evening. OF the groom hal paper

He resigned his position in the First

Company at Clinton where they will

the corr and small grain presents a
sickly aspect. Some of the fields are
completely flooded. Only the tops of
the corr stick above the water in some
and others are seas of mud. The warm
weather of Sunday did the oats a great
deal of harm and another day Of the
same character will about finish the
job. The farmers are going about
with the most woe-be-gone expressions
and fate is being 'cussed' more gener-
ally than the Trainer of the tariff bill.
But the Iowa farmer usually manages
to exc out an existence and he will
probably manage to survive this year
as he has done in other bad ones.

Audubon County Fortunate

The farmers of this county should
consider themselves very fortunate,
even if some crops may not be quite
SO good as other years. Much of the
state has been swamped because of too
much rain where the drainage is not
sufficient. The following from Mr..
Dobson, former secretary of state, re-
lates the story of the fiat lands in this
state as given in the Register and
Leader: | just returned from Fort
Dodge, and between there and Boone

THE AUDUBON CORNET BAND
Will Give First Concert in Park Satur.
day Evening, July 81.

Mr.. Elwell, the instructor of the
band, gives it out that the first concert
will be given in the park on Saturday
evening, July 81, to which everybody
is invited. 1t is not expected that the
boys, most of whom have not had
more than two months practice, will
do as we'll as the Marine Band play
ing at the White House. but they will
give something that will be entertain
ing.
In this connection we are requested
to say for the band that if any society
has a social in the park any evening
when the band is to give a concer it
will be necessary for said society to
pay the band for the music. Otherwise
the concert will be postponed.

Successful Surgical Operations

DR.. Brooks accompanied T. w.
Staley and son, Harry, and a young
man by name of Jim Christensen, who
works for Mr.. Staley, out to Council
Bluffs last week for surgical treatment
in the hospital in that city. DR.. Nc,
Crae performed the operations. A
hard lump, the size of a walnut, was
removed from the neck of Christensen
and Harry was operated on for rupture
and appendicitis. The young men came
through all right and give promise OF
early recovery.

GETTING SHARE OF BUSINESS

New York, April 1.-THE net cur
rent assets of the Republic Iron and
Steel company at the close of the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1909. will run
close to s7,6oO,000 a gain of nearly
100000 compared with the figures
reported at the close of the last fiscal
year This shows that the action of
the Republic in suspending dividends
on the preferred in a depressed period
was conservative. The company is now
in a very strong position In the matter
of assets and prepared to go through
a period OF low steel prices without
difficulty.
The showing of the Republic for the
current fiscal year will be satisfactory.
The company has not cut down its de-
probation appropriations. and it is
understood the balance for dividends
will show up more favorably than of
a majority of the independent steel
companies.
The Republic Iron & Steel company
is getting it's share of the business go
ing In March, for example, its pro-
duction in all departments represented
something like 65 per cent Of capacity.
The percentage this month will be close
to 70 per cent. While prices for steel
are low the high operating efficiency
of the Republic enables it to make a
favorable showing in the matter of
profits.
