Editors Met at Charlton.

Charlton was filled with knights of
the quill, or rather the manipulators
of the typewriter and the shears last
Thursday and Friday, when over
fifty editors attended the fall meeting
|of the Southern Iowa Editorial As
sociation, and held very entertain
ing and profitable session, being adj
dressed by Hon. Harvey Ingham, OF
Des Moines and other speakers, but
the most of the time was spent in
discussing business questions. On
Thursday evening the visitors were
rendered an elegant banquet which
was served in the basement of the
new Presbyterian church Charlton.
has a municipal lighting plant and
the boiler has been out of commission
for several weeks, so that the town is
lighted with candles, but traction
engine was secured to furnish power
to light the church during the ban
quet. Editors Gittinger and Greene
of the Charlton papers did everything
in their power to make the stay of
the editors in Charlton a pleasant
one, and the meeting was one of the
best ever held by the association.
The next melting will be held at Des
Moines and will probably be joint
meeting of all the editorial associa-
tions in the state.

Injured at Portland.

The following item concerning a
North Bend man appeared in Satur-

of Mr.. and Mrs. c. A. Ackerman, Of
this city:
L. M. Ackerman, mounted patrol
man, was painfully injured shortly
before 6 o'clock at the Fashion
stables, Twentieth and Washington
streets, when the police horse he had
just mounted, threw him against a
heavy supporting beam. Alderman
was detailed to ride with several
other mounted men as a guard of
the person of the president. Just
after he had saddled his horse and
mounted, intending to ride out of
the stables, the animal became
unruly and dashed the officer against
one of the heavy supports, knocking
him to the floor. Ackerman's arm
and leg were painfully though not
seriously injured Bay, Ore

THE LOCAL HAPPENINGS
Interesting Items of Local Interest
Picked Up by The Reporter
During the Present Week.
The Oldest Slate in America.

Mrs. S. E. Adams, of Davis City,
sent the past week to the State
Museum at Harrisburg, Penna., prob
ably the Oldest school slate in the
United States. 1t was brought to the
United States from Wales by Thomas
Harris about the year 1900. His
son, John Harris, was the founder of
the city of Harrisburg, the city TAX
ing its name from the Harris family.
The slate has been in the Harris fam
lily continuously from father to
youngest son for five generations.
Mrs. Adams is great granddaugh-
ter of Thomas Harris. Her father
leaving no sons the slate came to her.
Recently Mrs. Adams communicated
with the librarian at the Harrisburg
museum and he expressed a desire to
have the relic sent to that city, and
sent her several souvenir post cards
which she -valueshighly. One was a
picture of her great grandfather
old home built in 1775, which is
now owned by the city. Also pic
lures of the John Harris grove, and
the tree still cared for by the city,
where Thomas Harris was tied up to
be burned by the Indians. This was
during tne memorable uprising OF
the Indians who were melted to
deeds of violence by that British
scoundrel who, history tells us, of
fered price on all white mems
scalps brought to him. Mr.. Harris
who was then near 80 years of age
was left at home with the family OF
his son John while John and his four
sons were away fighting for freedom
in the revolutionary war. Her grand.
father was then lad of IA, but
later when he was 16 he too went to
help our glorious cause. Who is not
proud to be an American when we
read of the many trials that gallant
band of old veterans underwent tc
establish our glorious union. The
union forever, now one and INSOFAR.
| able, may she ever stand.

GLORIOUS OCTOBER.
Its Grandeur in Iowa Has No Equal
Anywhere Else. Enjoy it to
the Utmost.

Does the sun shine as brightly; is
the air as balmy; are the skies as
fairzin October in other states, as in
Iowa.
Possibly so, but those who have
experienced this particular month in
Athis state will certainly admit there
Is reason to boast.
There seems to be a suggestion of
gold about everything. We see it in
the ripening grain being carried to
storage, in the fruit which is waiting
to be gathered, in the leaves which
Efpr the last time are being made the
|piaything of the wind.
Iowa Octobers are proverbially
GLORIOUS. The people who live here
never tire of talking about them.
People who live elsewhere, but who
have CHANGED to visit here or pass
through the state, have never forgot
ten the scene.
The lamented James G.. Blaine
once advised party of pleasure
seekers who were arranging a west
ern trip, to 4see Iowa in, daylight. -
Surely one who crossed the state at
this time by night would be missing
an inspiring picture, although we are
free to say that it were better to see
Iowa under the soft and mellow
sheen of a starlight night rather
than not see her at all.
AS Iowa people contemplate the
scenes of glory by which they are
surrounded they are also told the
story of enormous crop yields and
fabulous crop values. Thus will the
year 1909 now fastening to it's close
add another chapter to the history OF
this grand old state in which the
prosperity and happiness of her peo.
pie are the dominant themes.
Enjoy October to the utmost. She
tcomes but once a year.

Littlejohn-Woodard.

At the home of the brides parents
Mr.. and Mrs. Marion Woodard, on
north Church street, at $3.50 o'clock,
this wednesday, morning, was
solemnized the wedding of their
daughter Miss Marian to Mr.. Arch
Littlejohn.
The ceremony was witnessed by
about forty invited guests. The
decorations were green and white
and the same scheme was used in the
dining room. Promptly at the ap-
pointed hour, while Mendelsohnn's S
wedding march was rendered on the
piano by the brides sister, Mrs
Hoyle Gilreath, of Yankton, S. D.,
the bridal couple entered the parlor
where they were met by Rev. Charles
Arthur Coakwell, pastor of the Chris
tian church, who pronounced the
wedding rites, using the ring cere-
mony.
The bride, who is one of Icons
most beautiful and charming young
ladies, was becomingly attired in a
gown of white Mousseline trimmed
with Irish point lace, and she was
one of the most beautiful brides
ever seen in this city.
Following the ceremony and con-
5idIuldllOuS three course wedding
breakfast was served, during which
Miss Blanche Woodard, sister of the
bride, presided at the piano.
Mr.. and Mrs. Littlejohn left on
the afternoon train for Indepen-
dence, Iowa, where they will be at
nome after Nov. 1st in a cottage all
ready for them. The groom is a
fine appearing young man who holds
good position as travelling sales
man for the Rush Park Seed Co.. of
Independence.
Many friends in this city extend
congratulations and the wish that
while the day was dark and stormy
that it may have silver lining with
never another storm to mar their
welded life
The guests from a distance were:

A Band to be Proud OF.

The K. P. band of this city, is a
band of which Leon may we'll feel
proud. Under the able instruction
Of Prof. A. B. Tansey the boys have
made great progress and now have
an extensive repertoire of new music,
which they handle in excellent shape.
Several of the members have recent
ly received new instruments and
they all attend practice with great
regularity and their work shows
what this means. Prof. Tansey is
one of the best band men in the coun-
try and the K. P. band are fortunate
in having him for an instructor, for
his efforts in great measure are
responsible for the good music which
the boys are furnishing at their Sat
urday evening concerts. They have
recently filled several engagements
in other towns and everywhere they
have appeared they have been highly
complimented on their music.
