CAME TO IOWA

In 1854 we moved from Ten
nessee to Iowa, settling in Au-
dubon Co., at what was known
as Hamlin's Grove. where we
builied our home. In 1855 we
were elected county judge of
that county, serving nearly
three terms, when in 1859 we
were elected a member of the
the legislature of Iowa, serving
two terms.
During this time, in May
1856, we purchased the undivid-
ed one-half of so acres of land
of David Edgerton and located
the town of Extra. (now quite a
furnishing little city, and built
the first house in the place, oc-
cupying the same for several
years. In 1862 we sold out and
moved to Panorq, Gl.herie,
County, Iowa, and for some
time practiced law in that town
and edited the Gutherie County
Ledger.
In 1855, we were on the

D. NJ. Harris was born in
Dayton, Ohio, July 81, 1921,
and is therefore 80 Years old
Friday, July 81, 1911.
His parents died when he
was only ten years old, leaving
a family of eight children, five
girls and three boys, the writer
being the second SOD, the oldest
leaving home at an early cay
and his residence not being
known to the writer. The
youngest was killed in the
Mexican war at the battle of
Buena Vista while fighting un-
der Gen. Taylor. The girls are
all married and scattered
throughout the several states.
The writer hereof left Ohio
at an early date, after the
death of his parents, and start
ed for Mississippi, a state that
was new at that time, was
much talked of, and was
thought to be a good location
for making money. On reach
ing Tennessee in the spring Of
1887, he stopped in Williams
port, Maury Co, and finally To-
Gated in that little town, where
in 1841 REMARKED Miss Martha
Minerva White, and to this
union was born ten children,
six boys and four girls, all liv-
ing, three hoys in South Da-
kota, and three in Iowa; one of
the girls lives in Fort Smith,
Ark. one in Montana, and two
in Iowa. This family never
had a death in it until January
II, 1898, when the wife and
mother was called away by
death. Since that time we
have made our home with our
daughter, Mrs. C. C. Lahman,
of this city who has made our
home very pleasant and salts
factory.

To settle an argument, which
would you rather have your
milk measured in a quart liquid
measure or q dry measure or is
there any difference? When you
get a little time figure it out
and if there is a difference how
much difference would it make
in a bushel. Several of our
good citizens are wasting good
time figuring on this problem
so if you get a solution that
you can explain, let US know.

a lady in walking pigeon-toed
isso apparent to a person of
culture that it is superfluous to
mention it but the following
doggerel from Col. Kiser of
the Record-Herald accentuates
the crime aptly:
Her eyes are big and soft and blue.
Her mouth is like budding rose,
An artist would be glad to view
Her delicately chiseled nose,
She has wealth of Furnished hair,
And men agree that she is fair;
whispers turns in her toes.
Toe out, girls, toe out!

ARRESTED
We Want to Arrest
Your Mind Of the
Bankrupt Stock
at the c. u. Flyers
Building Which
Is Going Down
Very Fast.

This is a fact that the Bank
rupt Stock at the C. U. Myers
building is going very fast and
you will have to hurry 10 get
these remarkable bargains, but
the stock was an exceptionally
large one and many bargains
still remain.
This is a bonafde Bankrupt
Sale, not a sale in which a few
bargains are thrown cut as bait
and the rest of the stock goes
at the regular price but every
thing goes here at Bankrupt
prices. The entire Sl680O
stock and fixtures are to be
sold as soon as possible and if
the people of this city and vi
entity don't take advantage of
it, the stock will be shipped out.
Many stock. are shipped in
of shelf worn ubbish to fool
the people. Here is a brand
new stock known to the public
as a store which has only been
in existence 8 months, some of
the original packages of spring
goods having never been open
ed. These goods are thrown
on the market right before you,
take advantage and supply
yourself, not only with sum
mer goods but also with winter
goods as the fall season will be
here pretty soon and you will
be looking for school clothing
for both boys and girls, shoes
and in fact you can clothe your
self, wife and family from head
to foot as this stock consists of:
Dry goods, notions, jewelry,
men, women and children's
clothing, hats and caps, under
wear of all kinds, boots and
shoes, overcoats, fur and sheep
lined coats, cloaks and suits.
Much of the winter goods are
almost given away on account
of being out of season. Just
step into the store and see how
far a little money will go. 1t
is surprising but when you
realize the stock was bought at
less than manufacturers cost,
you can see how it can be sold
so cheaply. There are plenty
of bargains for the pay day and
Saturday buyer and you will
save big money by taking adj
vantage Of this great sale.

IARRIS
al minor offices. The state be-
ling largely Republican. a Dem
ocrat had but little chance for
promotion during that period.
During several years we edited
IA paper and practiced law, and
in 1868 W. changed our resi-
denea t'sem Panora to Missouri
Valley, where we have since
resided most Of the time, editor
for nearly fifty years.
In 1884 we were the delegate
at large of the State of Iowa in
the National Convention at
Chicago that nominated Grover
CLEVELAND for President, later
represented Harrison county in
the State Legislature, and was
twice the Democratic candi-
date for Congress in the 9th
Iowa District; served in the Of
fee of Mayor of Missouri VAL.
Hey four full terms, was twice
city clerk. So you can see that
even a Democrat had some
honor in the dark days of the
party when it was thought a
privilege to let a Democrat live
in this grand and prosperous
state.
In looking back over our
younger days, it might be Of
some interest to know that the
writer has been a Mason sixty
years, an Odd Fellow about the
same length Of time, also a
member OF the Eastern Star
and Rebekah Degree lodges,
and a member of the Christian
church since the spring Of 1912,
or 60 years, excepting the
years in this county where the
church had no organization,
but On its reorganization in the
city in after years, his member
ship was renewed.
Much of this history may not
be Of interest to many, but to
others it may be of sufficient in
terest to cause it's reading. AND
now before closing, as this will
be no doubt about all that will
ever be heard of ID. NJ. Harris,
we desire to make one more
general remark Of self. In
looking back over the past 80
years history Of our life, we
feel that with our experience
if we had the journey to make
over again we would shun poll
tics as we would plague. 1t
never pays for the labor ex-
pended, and the idea that any
man can climb the lofty steep
of fame and wreath laurel
around his brow is a myth of
! gigantic proportions. But few
of the many ambitious men
ever succeed in reaping a re-
ward equal to the effort ex-
pended, and Of all the mighty
men Of America but few have
succeeded in placing their
names on the scroll of fame.
Think OF it, how many names of
American statesmen can you
name today? How much bet
ter for them, and perhaps for
the country, had most of our
| would be great men turned
talents to other pursuits?
We have about finished our
