WILL SHE HOLD Office?
Woman Elected County Recorder of
Wright County May lose the Of
flee because She Married.

There is a peculiar case up in
Wright county, where an effort Is
being made to prevent woman who
was elected to the Office of county re-
corder, from taking the Office, and
all because Mrs. Carrie Vaugn Ander-
son was secretly married to w. w.
Lucas, travelling salesman of
Omaha and former resident of
Leon, after she was nominated at
the primaries and before she was
elected.
At the time of the primaries last
spring Mrs. Anderson made sensa-
tional campaign for the republican
nomination for county recorder, her
opponent being an old campaigner
with years of experience in the
game of politics. Mrs. Anderson did
her own work before the primary
visiting nearly every farm house in
the county and she was nominated
by good majority. Her opponent
at the primary then ran as an inde-
pendent candidate, being endorsed by
the democrats, but Mrs. Anderson
was successful at the election held
on November 8th.
Now a protest has been filed with
the board of supervisors against her
taking the Office, for the reason that
al the time she was elected her
name was not Mrs. Carrie Vaugn
but Mrs. w. w. Lucas, it
being learned after the election that
she had been secretly married to
Mr.. Lucas at Omaha, Neb., on Oct
ober LIST. A fine point of law is
involved, and so far as has yet been
learned there seems to be no pre-
cedent in Iowa for a decision in such
a case. 1t seems probably that no
matter how the board of supervis-,
ors of Wright county decide the
matter, the case will be taken
through the district and supreme
courts before it is finally settled.

A Basket of Fine Apples.

The Reporter editor was presented
with a basket of mighty fine apples
Monday by Mrs. c. w. Detrick, Of
New Plymouth, Idaho. who is visit
ing at the home of her sister, Mrs.
D. R. Springsteen, at Decatur City.
They were of the Rome Beauties,
Strawberry Pippins, Winter Banana
and Ben Davis varieties, and were
nearly as big as pumpkins, some OF
them Weighing fifteen ounces. We
had them on display in our Office,
but we either had to hire special
policeman to watch them or lose
them, so we took them home and the
family are enjoying them, for they
have a delicious flavor.

The Farmers Institute and
Teachers Meeting opens this (Wed-
nesday) afternoon, and the indica-
tions are that there will be q good
attendance. A special program en-
bracing speakers of state wide repu'
tation has been prepared, and "a
large list of special premiums have
been offered by the Leon merch-
ants, the Decatur Live Stock Breed
er's Association, and the horse own
ers of the county and elsewhere.
The sessions will be held in, the
that the attendance this year will
show large increase over that OF
previous years. There is lots OF
good corn in Decatur county this
year, and the weather has been very
favorable for the farmers to finish
their fall work. Many are done
husking corn now. 1t will pay any
farmer to take the time to attend all
of the sessions for the speakers are
all practical men and you cannot
fail to receive benefits from hearing
them. Iowa land is advancing at
q rapid rate and in order to make
the high priced land show a profit
it will be necessary for the farmers
to make the land produce more per
acre. And that is one of the things
that the speakers will tell you about.
You will have an opportunity to See
the corn exhibits Judged by an ex-
pert from the State College at
Ames, and you will see the live
stock judged by another ex-
pert from the same college. These
two things alone will be worth COM

contest will be held at the opera
house on Friday evening and quite
a number of contestants from vari-
ous> parts of the county have en-
tered. The full program together

Mrs. Catharine Gardner.

Miss Catharine Nightwine was
born in Columbia county, Ohio, Feb.
3, 1887. and died in Decatur City,
Iowa, Nov. "a, 1910, at the age of
73 years, 8 months and 21 days. The
early years of her: life, were; spent
Ia Ohio. While still young she came
with her parents and many Of their
neighbors to what was then known
as "The West" They settled in the
southern part of Iowa, and later in
northern Missouri. On Oct. 26,
1854 she was married to-, Wilson i.
Gardner, who proceeded her to the
Spirit world some six years ago. To
one son and three daughters, all of
whom are living, as follows: Frank
of Decatur City, Mrs. Allie Tullis. of
Leon, Mrs. Lutte Shelton, of Decatur
City, and Mrs. Jennie Kalkofen, of
Russell, Iowa. 1t was the privilege
of all the children to be with their
mother during her entire sickness
and do all that willing hands could
do and loving hearts could plan.
Since the death of the husband and
father she has lived with Frank, the
only son, who has been her stay and
her support during the last years of
her life. He has indeed been a loyal
son. Mrs. Gardner became a Christ
ian when about seventeen years of
age, and placed her membership with
the Christian church at Leon where
it remained for forty six years, until
she was called up higher. She was
thus one of the charter members of
the Leon congregation and knew all
about it's early struggles and hard
ships in It's infancy. 1t is not often
that one holds membership in con-
gregation for more than half a CEN
tury. She was the last charter men,
ber of the Leon church, and while
she is dead, the church still lives.
Where can we find better demon
stration of the truth of the great
Apostle, Their Works Do Follow
Them" The funeral services were
conducted at the Christian church in
Decatur City by Rev. J. s. Coffin, of
the Leon Christian church, after
which the remains were laid to rest
in the cemetery at Decatur in the
midst of a large company of friends
and relatives. - 1872 49,

Editors to Meet At Abba.

4 The fall meeting of the Southern
Iowa Editorial Association will be
held at Abba, Iowa, on Thursday
and Friday of this week, and good
program has been prepared. The
last time the editors held a meeting
at. Abba, which was in 1903, the
town celebrated the occasion by
burning up a good part of the busi-
ness section of the town while the
editors were in the city. But it
was really a good thing for Abba,
for the burned district was replaced
with new modern business blocks,
and from that time Abba has been
moving forward at rapid pace un-
til 1t is one of the best small cities
in the state.
