Their First Train Ride.

In these progressive times to
reach the age of SO years without
having ridden on a railroad train is
distinction about which very few
can boast. Yet married couple.
both of whom have passed that age.
visited in Albany last week and in
coming here took their first railroad
ride. Living in country where for
more than a quarter of a century
railroads have been in existence, yet
never using their convenience for
travel, is a record seldom made,
The parties in question are D.. M.
Null and wife, of near Mt. AYR.
Iowa, and their first journey on the
vanished cars was from Grant City
to Albany, when they came down in
company with their brother-in-law,
w. B. Anderson. of Albany, and vis-
tied at his home several days. Mr..
Null is Sc and his wife 81, and they
have been married 80 years. They
were reared in Harrison county and
have spent their life in this section.
The lack of means or opportunity
has not keep the couple from travel

season.

Evan Evans, one of Eden town
ships pioneer farmers and respected
citizens, died at his home on Sunday
March 20, 1910, at the age of 80
years 6 months and Is days He
has been gradually failing in the
past year; his last sickness COM
menced about weeks ago and grad
ually grew worse until the end came.
He was born in Putnam County, In
diana, September 2, 1929, and immi-
grated to Iowa in the fall of 1852
and settled in Decatur County on a
part of his present farm, which he
entered from the Government. After
many years of hard labor and close
economy he met with success in his
agricultural pursuits and stock rais-
| ing and was the owner of one of the
best stock farms in Decatur County
| He was united in marriage to Silvia
| A. Mendenhall on the 9th. of Decem-
Der 1858, who survives him. To this
| union nine children were born, two
of whom, son and daughter died
in infancy; the others are C.S. Evans
of Chandler, Oklahoma; Mrs. w. H.
Hall of Comanche, Oklahoma; John
Evans; George Evans and Mrs j.
K. Waller. He also leaves one broth
er, Andy Evans of Davis City, Iowa
and other relatives, and many warm
friends to mourn his departure.
Short services were held at the home
on Tuesday following his death, con-
Quoted by N. Still, and interment
was in the Meek cemetery.

To the Voters of Leon.

! wish to make this statement,
that my position may be clearly un-
derstood. When called to the plat
form after my nomination at the gen
eral caucus called by the mayor, ]
then stated that / was in favor of
all public improvements for the city,
and | would use my best efforts to
promote the same. My position at
the election for the water works
system was that the terms of the
proposed bonds should have been
much more favorable to the city.
Now that a water works system is
to be installed, am heartily in favor
OF putting in good system of water
works, the4best that can be secured,
and at the earliest possible date.
And, if elected, assure you / will
use my best energy and efforts to
have the water works system prompt
ly. and properly installed. II make
Essfis statement to settle any and all
controversy along this line And if
elected will give the business of the
city as careful and prompt attention
as ! do my own business.

the road doing lecture and entertain
ment work, during which time he
travelled over the larger part of Iowa
and Missouri In the fall of 1904,
largely on account of his health, he
accepted the agency of the j. R.
Watkins Medical Co., and Travelled
through the country for five years,
during which time he worked up a
very remuneratiye business. Having
accomplished the business for which
he went on the road, he disposed of
his business last fall and accepted
the position of superintendent of the
Myers Chemical Co., of Leon, and
since the company has been reor-
ganized and re-incorporated under
the name of the Cholene Medical Co.,
he has been elected vice president
and superintendent, and expects to
put in eight hours work at his office
every day. He accepts the pastorate
of the Christian church in addition
to his other labors and is already
laying plans for some substantial i'm
provements on the church building,
Interior decorations, etc., during the
coming season. He will also ar
range for an evangelistic campaign
in the fall.
Elder Coffin is a splendid good fell
low, a fine talker and makes friends
with all with whom he comes in con-
tact. The church people are to be
congratulated on securing his SER
vices and he will work hard to fill
the duties of pastor.

Gets Hand Gut OF in Saw. Mil.

Last Thursday little after noon
an accident happened at the saw mill
located on the Ed Caster land, on
White Breast, which cost Gerald Cas-
ter his hand Ed Phipps was run
ming the engine and AL Smith was
operating the saw and Gerald Caster
was offbearing. The belt on the saw
ing machine which runs the feeding
mechanism had run off and Mr.. Smith
was putting it on and Gerald stepped
in to assist just as Mr.. Smith had sue
ceeded in getting it on and in with
drawing he swung his hand around in
such manner that the saw caught 1t
striking him in the wrist and cutting
oiagonally to point near the knuckle
on the first finger. He was at once
driven to Woodburn where he took
the train to Qsceola and had the hand
dressed, the doctors being able to
save the first finger. Some years ago
he had the misfortune to have his
wrist on this same hand nearly sever
ed with an axe which had rendered
the last two fingers on the hand prac-
tically useless. He is young man
about twenty years Of age, and has
the sympathy of his many friends

A Successful Meeting.
Sterling, Neb., Mar. 21, 100!

Sterling, Neb., Mar. 21, 1909.
Editor Reporter:-You will be in
terested to learn that one of your
townsmen, the Rev. Charles w. Reed
er, is with us in revival meeting in
this place. The Methodist, Disciples
and Baptist churches united in the
effort and the meetings were held in
the Baptist church. Many people not
accustomed to going to church came
to hear him reason for righteousness
and the judgment, and were alto
gethered persuaded to turn to the
Lord. Brother Reeder believes in
presenting the truth in a plain, in
telligible way and gives a due portion
to both saint and sinner. In this
union service he is strictly impartial,
encouraging each convert to go to the
church of his choice. His assistant,
the singing evangelist, Charles Hig-
gins, is the best at his work it has
been our pleasure to meet. He sings
with power and is splendid organ
izer. He grows rapidly in the esteem
of the chorus and before they realize
it, he has them completely under his
control, and leads them steadily on
to victory. The word preached

fsuryiyes her. In early and middle life
she was active in business circles both

youth she joined the Baptist church,
and remained an active worker in
that denomination until her removal
to Iowa, few years after when she
affiliated with the Presbyterian
church in Garden Grove becoming a
member of this organization in No
vember, 1866. Owing to the fact OF
her being lame from birth, she was
prevented after time from taking as
active part as She desired in church
work, this being especially true DUR
ing the latter years of her life, she
having been "shut i'm for the last
ten years.
In her youth she was an excellent
singer and valued member of the
church choir, and to the day of her
decease she loved to sing her familiar
hymns.
On Sabbath morning her mind was
perfectly clear, though she suffered
some pain, but she steadily failed
during the day and as the sun sank
low in the west she steadily fell
asleep, and the angels carried her
spirit to the Heavenly Father she had
loved so long. The funeral services
were held in the Presbyterian church
on Tuesday afternoon, the pastor,
Rev. John Wilson, preaching from the
text, Job 5:26, "Thou shalt come to
thy grave in a full age; like as a
shock OF corn cometh in, in his
season"
