&c Boyer Sells Out

J. c. Boyer, who the past two years
has conducted grocery and dry goods
store on Broadway, disposed Of his
stock Of goods Monday when he traded
the same for 100 acres of land near
Creston. The deal was made with F.
p. Dilger, OF Atlantic. Invoicing OF
the stock Of goods will be commenced
In Q few days.
The Republican regrets to learn that
Mr.. Boyer has decided to retire from
the mercantile business. But j. G
says he don't have to and OF c0urse
that settles Il. Anyhow he made q
mighty good record for the time he was
in business. In two years he worked
up q splendid business He handled
good goods and treated his customers
in an honest. straight forward manner.
His business was increasing every
month, but the mercantile business was
not to his liking. He prefers outside
work. He has not fully decided what
he will do in the future, but whatever
his decision may be. we hope he will
remain resident of Audubon. Harley
Boyer will remain with the new firm
for the present.
Mr. digger Is q stranger to as, but
from his appearance he is a business
man Of wide experience and we have
full confidence Ia his ability to give the
people OF Audubon good service and y
fair and square deal in every transac-
ton, We extend to him cordial wei
come on behalf Of the people OF Audubon.

He was rushed to Q physician's Office
where his wounds were dressed. As

was done. and while tbs Gre department

McCort took some wet gunny sacks and
smothered ont the flames before it

D. W. Matthias Dies in The South

ID. w. Matthias, one of the early
settlers of Audubon county died at his
home in Biloxi, Miss. last Monday after
q lingering illness. His remains were
shipped to Audubon, reaching here this
morning over the Northwestern. His
two sons Albert and =. d., accompany
ing the remains Funeral services will
take place at the Presbyterian church
Friday morning at HOO o'clock.
Mr.. Matthias was an old soldier. He
was wounded in battle to such an ex-
tent that he was crippled for life. He
left here a number of years ago for the
south in the hope that the climate
would benefit his health. He was iden-
titled with the rapid advancement of
Audubon county and held many posi-
tions of trust. He was the proprietor
of the Grant House, one of the first
hotels the town ever had. E. j. Free
man tells us that Mr.. Matthias, c. A.
Grant, L. Baxter and J. II. Gardner
we're the first to purchase l ts in the
town of Audubon. Mr.. Matthias came
here with some lumber and before even.
ing of the day he bought his lot, he had
begun the erection of a building that
became the Grant House.
The deceased leaves q wife. two sons,
Albert and F. D., who live in the south,
two daughters, Mrs N. ). Hansen, of
this city and Miss Cappie, who lives
with her parents.
The deceased was one of the best
known men in Audubon county and
was widely known for his kindness and
good heartedness. His large army of
friends will regret to hear that he has
crossed the river, but all admit that he
has gone to his reward

cial club met with the city council last
Monday evening when the matter OF
street lighting came up. Mr.. Weiland
was also present and made q very in
teresting talk to the crnhcil. It il pro
posed that eight electroliers be placed
in each block with cluster OF three
lights. These TO be placed ON Broad
way from tho Rock Lizard depot to the
court house. In the residence district
the lights wjll'bs suspe1led from the
center Of the street and % candle pow
or lamps will be used instead of the
small incandescent Mghta. The matter
Of adequate street lighting will soon be
solved, but Of course nothing can be
done until the new lighting plant is
completed. The prOposed system will
give Audubon metropolitan appear

favor Of installing the slectroliers. If
we were to offer any suggestion at all
we would suggest . cluster OF Ave
lights instead q three. We know Of
