three machines day.

Chester A Marlin, Former Edit
or of Audubon County Journal,
concluded to take Examination for
the Ministry.
From the Atlantic Telegraph we
learn that Mr. Chester A. Marlin
former editor of this paper, and
more recently editor of the Cass
County Advocate has concluded
to take the ministerial examination
necessary before one can become
a minister, at the next general Con-
ference of the M. E. Church.
Mr. Marlin is an intelligent young
man and with very little training
will be qualified to handle an ap-
pointment should he be able to pass
the examination creditably. Chest
er loves to talk and never misses
an opportunity when the occasion
requires. The field is large one
and the chancs for success are only
limited by a mans ambition t.
prove his usefulness. Whereye
Mr.. Marlin may go the good viii
of the Journal will follow him.

The Time IS at Hand

AS nearly as may be judged by ap
pearances, there has never been a
more propitious time than now to
do some really effective work in
the matter OF improving the road
to the depot.
Whatever may be said, this road
is Extras shame and reproach. 1t
is safe to say that many hundreds
of people every year are given a
miserably bad impression of our
little city; and it is by this sort of
thing that we are known to the out
side world
The Journal holds that this is
far and away the most Important
of all local improvements now in
mind and the ones that should re-
ceive first attention. No big amount
of money seems to be requir d. To
deepen the ditch beside the road,
drain the road bed with tile, and
face it with sand would give a reas
onably good road to the depot at
all times. 1t is Exira's greatest
need, and the task should not be
left longer undone.

than all the pay of all the Kings
OF Europe. He said down in
Florida there were people buying

a farm and that others are buy

Many Run-a-ways

Many papers report runaways,
last week, and some of them quite
serious. It's the time cf the year
that farmers are breaking young
horses that have never met the
conditions before that they now
meet in harness. Sights in town
are usually new to them, then
perhaps they meet an auto for the
first time and in trying to dodge
the "buzz-wagon" their harness
pinches them which perhaps they
think is the auto hurting them
and away they go, beyond control.
