Governor Clarke stated to the aud.
fence before beginning his Memorial
day address that he had peculiar
pleasure in coming to Oskaloosa. He
had lived and worked in Oskaloosa
as younger man. He had been a
student in the "Oskaloosa College"
and had been employed in the old
Central Book Concern and publishing
house of Call & Bristol, an old-time
mercantile firm. Following his ora
ton he was greeted at the platform
by many old-time friends and &C
quaintances, many of whom he called
by name, although he had not seen
them in years. He much regretted
the necessity of urgent business that
compelled him to return to Des
Moines on an afternoon train. "
OF the advancement and success of
former Oskaloosa boy. in whom To-
cal friends take just pride, the Imple-
ment and Trade Journal says: There
has been a general shake-up on imple-
ment row, and many new faces are
seen there. This is not due to dis
satisfaction on the part of the parent
houses, but to the increase in bust
ness, sickness and other. causes.
Luther M. Hibbs, formerly manager
at Cleveland. o., for Fairbanks, Morse
& Co., is the new manager for the

as is evidenced by the man

business here. He is putting new
ideas in all departments and making
many changes. There are brighter
in the tractor business, and
he is working this end of the trade
hard"
