the association, not to mention the in

wives. 1t is 80 by go feet. The cost
was about $4,000. Besides contributing
to this sum, the enterprising people of
the community put in a great deal of
their spare time and much that they
couldn't spare in hauling stone for the
building. Now all of the meetings of
the Grange may be held therein. Be
fore the assemblies have gathered as
the church people say, at the Indian

New Phase In Tennessee Senatorial
Succession.
The battle for the senatorial sue
cession will assume new phase this
week, when General Luke E. Wright,
of Memphis, former Secretary of War
and former Governor General of the
Philippines, SHES his castor into the
ring. For two weeks, it is said, Gen
eral Wright has been looking over the
situation, and quietly biding his time.
He has never said he would or would
not be candidate, but the informa-
ton comes pretty straight that the
name of Wright will be presented to
the assemblymen.
% 1t has been common talk in the
lobbies for several days that General
Wright was not disposed to interfere
with Ex-Governor Benton McMillin's
chances to win the prize, but now it
is insisted by the ex-War Secretary's
friends that McMillin having failer to
secure the necessary 81 votes, it is
not unfair for their favorite to get
into the running.

on the Iowa Central. which discon-
tinues running the mail cars on trains
Nos. ! and 2 thru from Abba to Aus
tin, Mimi, went into effect today.
Under the arrang cement that has been
discontinued these mail cars have been
turned over to the Milwaukee and Ma
son City Junction and carried by that
road to Austin. Returning, the Mil
waukee has hauled the car from Austin
to Mason City Junction and delivered it

Beginning with today the mail and
the clerks will transfer at Mason City
Junction to the Milwaukee but the car
will be taken north to Albert Lea. The
Milwaukee will deliver the mail and the
clerks to Iowa Central train No. 2,
south bound, in the evening
The reason for the change IS that
the government has reduced the
amount paid the railroads for this
route, and it is now paying it for only
a thirty and not a sixty foot car. The
Milwaukee has refused to handle the
car for this pay and instead it will pro-
vide its own car and the mail and
