ing Saturday night decided to hold q

D. w. Mcpherson, salesman for c. c.
Prouty, wholesale grocers of Des
MONIES. was in ColfaX last Thursday.
Jack is the same old boy and longs to
get back to old Marshalltown!
1T surely pays to have a live COM
mercial club, as was demonstrated a
few weeks ago at Cedar Rapids. They
would not stand for the way the c., NJ.
& st. P. railroad was treating them as
to passenger service, SO got busy, and
now they have passenger trains run
ming to Cedar Rapids in the morning
from all directions and leaving in the
evening. was told the first and Sec
ond day the train was-run from Ottum-
wa ii was loaded with passengers from
Williamsburg and that territory 1t
surely means much to the merchants of
Cedar Rapids. We surely need a good
club in Mahshalltown and it can not
come any too soon, for the good OF
Marshalltown. AS to the interurban,
word has been, secured from Newton,
Grundy Center, Parkersburg, Greene,
Allison and Charles City, that they are
ready to do their part in building a
road running to all these points.
The stopping Of some of the passen-
ger trains on the c., NJ & ST. P. be-
tween Marion and Perry is appreciated
by the commercial men. 1t means much
to US, both in time and expense.
H. L. Haase. who has been manager
for Shaw & Dutton, retail grocers OF
Anamosa, for a few years, started out
Nov. l for the New Ulin flour mills
H. L. is an old hand on the road, having
Travelled quite a few years for Frank
lin, McVeigh & Co., wholesale grocers
OF Chicago, previous to going to An
amosa. Mr.. Haase, we are told, intends
moving to centeral Iowa very soon We
should like verYmuch to see him locate
in our midst.
The Rock Island railroad has dis
continued carrying passengers on Its
freight train on the main line. This
has caused quite a hardship to the
commercial men, and we are informed
that such a plant has gone up that
some action is liable to be taken to
to restore the service.
Morawetz & Co., jobbers and manu-
facturers in hats and furs, spent last
Wednesday with trade in Cedar Rap
ids. Walter takes kindly to being called
papa and says the boy is doing fine.
Ed Stolz. with the Marshall Syrur
and Sugar Company, of this city, is
meeting with splendid success and en-
joys his line very much.
Joe visek, the handsome salesman
representing Britain & Co., packers OF
Marshalltown, looks quite fine in his
new overcoat, purchased with the mon
ey secured from the sale of the vege-
tables raised on his cabbage patch or
railroad land at Wright. Any one put
ting in his spare time at work of thai
kind when waiting for trains ought
surely to succeed. We understand they
have leased the land for another year
Charles Carothers, salesman. for ths
Churchill Drug Company, of Burling-
ton, in charge Of the paint department

past two weeks, threatened with pneu.
