/ Mayor Jas. F. Harvey, who retired
on Monday as Mayor of Leon, after

one of which he may we'll feel proud.

second year $939.55, besides having
fines amounting to s66.85 worked

the two years, which broke all rec
ords of the Office.

AUTOMOBILE TAX MONEY.
Each County in Iowa Will Receive
About $4,000 This Week as
Their Share of the
State Tax.

The auto license fund was closed
last Saturday night for the semi-an-
nual apportionment among the
ninety nine counties of the state.
Receipts for the month of March,
announced by Henry T. Saberson,
chief clerk in the Office of the secre-
tary of state, totaled $35,357.25.
Eighty-five per cent of this
amount, approximately 100000, will
be added to the sum already in the
hands of the state treasurer, $210,-
900 in round numbers, for distribu-
tion.
Nearly $4,000 will be sent to each
county when the division is made
this week.
BY the provisions of the Kulp law
enacted by the last general assem-
bly,, the county's share of the license
tax is to be spent upon maintaining
and building highways in the coun-
ties.
The April apportionmentis is thetirst
large distribution under the new
law. The law went into effect in
July last year and the first appor-
tionment was in August. Licenses
were lSSuSu dL ulSI 1Ol d udIA yCoA

has been much heavier, because reg

required.

the resulting appearance of auto
mobiles that have been in the barn

Burlington to Pave Around Depot

The Burlington railroad after
struggling with mud and water
around the depot for the past year
has decided to pave all of the space
around the depot used for driving
purposes, and last Saturday signed
a contract with the Leon Cement
and Brick Co., to do the work just
as soon as the weather settles. 1t
will be concrete cement paving,
eight inches thick, and will extend
from the depot platforms out to the
siewalk on Main street, and clear
around the depot. The paving will
add greatly to the appearance of the
depot grounds, and will be duly ap-
preciated by the drivers who have
pulled through the mud and water
to get to the passenger depot. And
the people who walk will be grateful
too, for they will not have to wade
mud shoe top deep to get to the de-
pot. 1t will be the first paving done
in Leon, but we hope that the ex-
ample set by the Burlington will be
followed and>> that before long we
will see Main street paved to the de-
pot.

Col. Mobiles Last Letter to an Old
Conrad.

Probably one of the last letters
written by Col. John w. Noble, who
died recently at his home in St.
Louis, was to his old army comrade,
Capt. J. D. Brown, of Leon, and the
letter is so typical of his character
that we are pleased to publish it for
the special benefit of the boys of the
old 3rd Iowa Cavalry:
St. Louis, Mo-, Feb. 23, 1912.
Capt J. D. Brown,
Leon, Iowa.
My Dear Comrade and Friend:
Your beautiful letter on Washing
toms birthday, has touched me
deeply. It is a blessing for any man
to have a friend so true and through
so many years, as you have shown
yourself to be to me. 1t began when
we were in the field struggling with
our young manhood for the dear
flag, and it lasts still to keep us with
patriotism warm for our country and
love for each other If we cannot be
great like Washington, we can, like
him, be loyal to the cause he main
tained and faithful to our friend
ships. So may it continue-on and
on.
Like you, have not been quite up
to my usual mark of good health
this very cold winter, but it is only
indigestion that bothers, and that
not all the time. I do not work like
] used to, but visit my law Office at
regular hours, and keep doing some
legal work.
I thank you for your friendly in
terest, and l return you and Mrs.
Brown my respects and thanks. Give
my best wishes to any Of our COM
rades you see.
Most sincerely,
John w. Noble.
