BRAINARD FOR
STATE SUPERINTENDENT
He Is Well known Here And Very
Highly Regarded By The Teach
ers OF Audubon County.

Among the nomination papers that
have been circulated in WoOdbine for
signatures the past week has been that
of D. E. Brainard for State Superinten-
dent. It is needless to say that every
body in Mr.. Brainard's home county,
regardless. of party utilization, would be
more tnan pleased to see him receive
the nomination at the June primaries.
Superintendent Brainard is a republican
hut this is not so Important a matter
touching this particular Office. More
than being republican he is a thorough
school man and educator. OF the half
dozen and more avowed candidates for
the office scattered over the state none
are able to show up any better qualifi-
cations for the position than Mr.. Brain
ard. The dozen or fifteen years past he
has been most active in the school work
and most successful. About half of this
time, the last half, he has been county
superintendent of Harrison county
schools. During the institute season he
hasedone lecture work in various coun-
ties Of the state, and outstanding among
school men is the best. The state is large
and there will be numerous candidates
80 it will be nobody's claim fora GER
tainty until the primary votes are all
counted, but the popular Harrison coun-
ty man has as good show of capturing
the nomination as any, and much better
chance than some who will be in the
field-Tho WOOdbine Twiner

IOWAS OLDEST WOMAN
HAS PASSED AWAY
Mrs. Sarah klmbaIl Greene OF Miles
Mother OF Mrs. w. b. Davis
Aged lOI Yrs. o Mo. 10 DAYS

There is something wonderful in life
of a hundred years Looking at it from
II physical standpoint il is marvel that
the human mechanism could continue
to work for that length of time; that
the lungs could breath, and the heart
continue TO beat for more than century.
From the following obituary taken from
the Miles Reporter it will be seen that
MIR. and Mrs. Greene came to Iowa
seven years before it became state and
that she had lived in that one county
during the last seventy years.
OBITUARY
Sarah A. Kimball was born i'm Pres.
ton, New London county, Connecticut,
August H. 1908, and died in Miles,
Iowa, March LIST, 1910, aged i0l years,
six months and 10 days. She was mar.
ried to George +. Greene, of Foster, X.
l., April I'd, 1899 and came Immediate
ly to Iowa and settled in Jackson county
where she lived until her death. She
was the mother of two daughters, who
with one brother, nine grand children
and seventeen great grand children sur
vive her. Her daughters are Mrs May
j. Davis, of Audubon, Iowa, and Mrs.
Il. f. Walker, of Miles, Her brother In
l.. T, Kimball who is 81 years old.
She with her husband lived on the
farm east of Miles until 1877 when they
moved into the village of Miles Mr..
Greene died Jan. 18th, 1894 and during
the past thirteen years she has made her
home with her daughter, Mrs. II. Il.
Walker. She united with the Congre-
gational church in her girlhood days,
but after coming to Iowa she was iden-
tilted with the M. t. church ut Sabula
for time, but when the Congregations
nj church was organized ut Sabula, she
with her husband again became identi-
fled with the church Of the Pilgrims.
Grandma Greene and her husband were
among the charter members of the Miles
Congregational church, in which she
was I'm earnest worker until the burden
of years rendered her unable To partici-
pate In the services. Sister Greene was
II kind and loving mother, n good friend
and neighbor, and the Heavenly father
granted her length of days beyond those
To mortals. She was one of the pioneers
of Iowa and TO her and her husband was
granted the privilege of celebrating their
golden wedding on April End, 1889, hav-
ing lived 80 years in the territory and
state of Iowa. Grandma was ready
when the call came and had often ex-
pressed herself rs anxious 10 go to that
house, not made with hands but eternal
In the Heavens.
Funeral services were held mt the Con-
gregational church on Thursday morn
ing ut 10 o'clock, Rev. A. w. Virgins
conducting the services and being assist
ed by Rev. j. +. Van Horn, of the M.
u. church The sermon was most APP
propriate one and brought out the beauty
of u life lived in the christian world
Among the relatives and friends from
out Of town was Mrs. w. Il. Davis Of

AUDUBON NEEDS
A BOOSTER SPIRIT
Giving Full Credit For What Has
Been Done, Much More Is Needed
For Civic Improvement

As the city caucus called out a dis
cussion of better streets and sewer.
age and paving we quote the following
timely article from the Marshalltown
Times Republican. That paper says
editorially:
Turnout the state of Iowa there is an
awakening Of the booster spirit in towns
and villages. No county seat il without
its commercial club and few are the
towns which lack the nerve to aspire to
such municipal improvements as sewers,
water works, paving, new hotels, opera
houses, etc. The state news columns of
newspaper like the Times Republican
which reports the affairs of every com.
munity in the state are alive with items
of interest about the town improvements
which the business men are promoting
at the commercial club banquets.
Particularly noticeable is the wide
spread interest In street paving among
the business men of the average county
seat town of 1900 to $500 inhabitants.
Heretofore paving has been considered
a Injury obtainable only by cities which
have passed the 10000 mark in popula-
ton. Now 1t has been discovered that
anybody can have paving. Montezuma,
with 1900 inhabitants. has its street
paving. Eldora, with 1890 people, has
voted to lay paving. Toledo, with | 800
people, is figuring on it, and Logan, in
spite of her 400 population, is not too
small for her business men to aspire TO
paving for her streets. BY narrowing
the width of the paved portion of q
street to twenty four feet and by adopt.
ing some cheaper forms of paving such
as concrete which can be laid at cost
of $l.2O per square yard or tarvia which
can be laid equally as cheap, street paw
ing is possible for any town or village
regardless of size. Inside of ten years
1t will have been discovered to be posi-
BILE for country highways.
Sewers, perhaps, next to water works
which nearly every town has are first

ments and should be built by every town
in the state. The only thing that makes
the town desirable for residence above
the country sufficient to attract the re.
tired farmer or farmers boy to town to
