OTTUMWA'S HOLIDAY DEcoRA.
rIoNs LAUDED By PAPER
kEOSAUQUA.

The beauty of the retail business
district Of Ottumwa as it appeared to
j. w. Rowley, editor of the Keosauqua
Republican on recent visit to this
city, is made the subject of compli-
mentary editorial in this weeks issue
of that paper which contains the fol-
lowing:
There may be, and there are, cities
with streets beautiful here and there
in Iowa and in other states in this
union of ours, but not one of them can
surpass Ottumwa's Main street. this
Christmas holiday season. Al night
time on Main street, just north OF
the union depot and looking east, last
Saturday, the writer had before him a
vision of beauty and appropriateness
of Christmas design that surpassed
anything it has ever been our good for.
tune to witness, though we have seen
considerable of Christmas decorations
in the larger cities Of our country.
For several blocks east from where
we stood, Main street is an avenue
lined on either side with evergreen
trees Of uniform height, set perhaps
dozen feet apart and hundreds IN
number. And among the branches
of these evergreens are interspersed
innumerable red electric light bulbs,
and above these and on line with the
tops of the trees Is stretched cable
to which is attached hundreds of
white electric lights. Our readers can
only imagine the beauty Of this COM
min Cling of red and white lights IN
the branches of this wonderful avenue
of evergreens. To appreciate It, 80
to Ottumwa, stay over night, and see
what you will perhaps have chance
to see and enjoy only once in life
time. And see too the tastefully dec
Grated windows and interiors Of the
business houses, for here too Ottum-
vans have surpassed their previous
doings of this kind
| Much credit is due the Retail Mer-
chants association of that city for
this Christmas time treat Of street
decorations, for it not only requires
enterprise and lots Of hard work to do
J it. but 1T also necessities lots of ex-
pense as we'll as unusual good taste.

With the warning nations of Europe
in need of horses and buying all they
can get their hands on of given
weight; the cotton sales beginning to
create demand for the southern type;
the winter making a place for the
heavy horse for coal hauling and calls
for the heavy colts from the east. Nor
r1s Williams states in his letter this
week that the outlook for the first Of
the year is good. He says:
There was no special change In the
horse market the past week, with the
exception Of slight improvement in
the demand for heavy weight horses
For two months past horses weigh
ing 1900 to 400 pounds have brought
relatively better prices than those OF
the heavier weight This condition Il
largely attributable to the demand fol
medium weight army horses and the
animals suitable for this purpose have
been readily bought up by the thou.
sands, and the demand for them seeYnsd
to be unlimited.
Three different nations of EnropeS
have agents in this country at theh
present buying cavalry and artillery
horses, and each OF these, England,
France and Italy had buyers repre-.
senting them at the Fridays sale in
OttumWa.
With a change to colder weather,
especially accompanied by snow, I be-
lieve there will be better demand
from the east for horses Weighing
from 1900 to 100 pounds, the kind
suitable for use on coal wagons.
also note that Germany and 1talyN
are wanting thousands Of bales Of cot 4
ton. and should they succeed In exS
porting it in large quantities, the trade
in cotton horses and mules should
open up soon after the first Of the
year.
am also beginning to get some in
quiry from Pennsylvania and Ohio
buyers for four year old colts Of draft
breeds class that has been almost
impossible to sell during the fall-and
upon the whole, while do not look for
any material advance in price, shall
be surprised II we do not have .
rather active business in all classes Of

of the year.

tNOTE-The Courier Junior is ready
70 take care of the stockings whenever
the donors desire to bring them In. It
IA hoped that great many will be III
nv this evening. However, the
donors are privileged to suit their own
convenience
The Courier Junior was the first
Christmas club in Iowa, or any OF the
nearby states and was planned right
here in this office, December, 1906. us
nurpose is to make little children very
happv at Ch .istmas time. Then again
IL we wish to give presents at Christ
mas time and do not want our friends
to know from whom the Wits come,
Santa Claus will deliver them for us II
we ask him. You all know that santa
Claus does not always give useful pre-
sents such as stockings, mittens. so
the members of the Christmas Stock
ing club can supply these needs. All
one has to do to become member OF
the club Is to give nice pair OF well
filed stockings.
HERE is THE WAY TO FILL A
4 STOCKING:
Into one stocking put some candy
and nuts, also toy, an orange, pair
of mittens, an apple and the other
stocking. Many Of the Juniors fill both
stockings. On the card with the donors
name put the age OF the child for Wnom
the stockings are intended.
We will publish the names of the
members of the club every day until
Christmas. Juniors and grownups Nv.
ing at 4 distance can send pair OF
stockings also sum Of money sufh-
cient to buy the candy, toys and nit
tens.
We are 80 glad to have the grown
ups interested in the club. These gifts
may seem small but they bring untold
