friends here will rejoice with him in his
successful career and hope that he will

of Creston, Iowa, was elected to the
Superintendency of the Audubon Public

Prof G. E. Lauterbach who has been

advancement and so concluded to make
the change. His work in Audubon has
been very satisfactory and there is no
hesitancy in recommending Mr.. Lauter-
bach to the people of Vinton.
