SUPPORTING A HOME MAN

1t will be pleasing news to the peo-
pie of Audubon county to learn that
throughout the entire Ninth Iowa
Congressional District. the prospects
of the reelection of w. r. Green, OF
this city are very fattering. Con-
gresham Green has made a wonder
full record at Washington. In the
recent debate on the war tax Mr..
Green took prominent part. Dur
ing the progress of his speech he was
frequently applauded and at its con-
clusion was warmly congratulated by
the republican members of the house.
There is no denying that Mr..
Green is considered one of the fair
est, most reliable and best posted
congressman in Washington. He is
a tireless and indefatigable worker,
and by his close application to his
duties, has demanded attention from
the powers that be. On account of
congress being in session, IT will be
almost impossible for him to make
much of personal campaign. How
ever, he has thousands upon thous-
ands of friends who are working earn
estly and diligently for his re-elec-
ton. Audubon county in particular,
should give Mr.. Green an exception
ally large vote this year. This is his
home county and every voter, re-
gardless of party ties should give
him complimentary vote. Con-
gresham Green deserves a re-elec-
ton and we have confidence enough
in the people of the Ninth District
to believe that worthy servant will
be sufficiently rewarded.

1T CERTAINLY WAS NEEDED

Audubon's Free Public Rest Room
has shown a steadily increasing num-
Der of visitors since tho doors were
opened May last 1t took a few weeks
to familiarize the public with the
idea and the location but now that
the out OF town people have learned
that 1t is a real convenience the reg
lister shows that the callers are many.
The total number of visitors reg
istered for the month beginning Aug.
26th and ending Sept. 26th is 1876.
The number who called at the rest
room was probably much in excess
OF this figure as during tho hurry of
fair time there is no doubt that
many failed to register.
With the exception of a very few
these people were from the rural
districts and the neighboring towns
many of them gratefully expressing
their appreciation of the convenience
furnished.
The rest room is neatly and COM
fortably furnished. This made pos
sible by the liberal patronage of the
public when the Rest Room Banquet
was given by the Wonan's Club and
Commercial Club early in April.
Every cent of the money earned at
the banquet was used in making the
rest room pleasant and convenient.
The rent of the rest room is paid
by the Commercial Club and the
Woman's Club. Each of these organ
izations paying SIS month.
The Woman's Club furnishes the
matrons for the rest room. Each
member of the club serves in alpha
betical order. Failure to serve or
provide substitute makes the MEM
Der liable to fine of fifty cents.
During Chautauqua and County
Fair matron was hired to keep the
rest room open all day. This ex-
pense was betrayed by the Woman's
Club. This club is at present max
ing rugs. These rugs will be sold to
help defray expense.

OLD SETTLER QUITE ILL

The many friends of j. b. Conn
rardy, in Audubon and elsewhere,
will be panied to learn of his serious
illness at his home in Extra. He is
ap old settler in Audubon county. and
because of his prominence in the
county, he is widely known. Re-
Gently he returned from Rochester,
Mimi, where he went for an exam
nation of his ailment and was in
formed by the specialists that his
stomach was In an extremely serious
condition and that no medical skill
would give him relief. He has re-
turned to Extra where he is spend
ing his last days with his family and
friends. No hopes for his recovery
are anticipated, and all who know
him grieve when they realize that
his race must soon come to an epd.

NEW PASTOR GIVEN RECEPTION

The members of the Audubon M.
e. church gave their new pastor, Rev.
Jackson Giddens and family a pub
lie reception at the parlors of the

Goldstine.

Response Rev. Giddens.
Audubon folks were delighted with
the happy and pleasant way in which
the pastor made his response. The
Methodist folks feel that they have
in Rev Giddens an excellent pastor
and one in whom the utmost conf
dence can be placed. His sermons
have been delight and with the
hearty cooperation of the members
and friends of the church, the coming
year ought to be a fruitful one for
the organization. Rev. Giddens has
strong personality. He is pleasant
to meet and has the happy faculty

WAS AGREEABLY SURPRISED

Some twenty neighbors and friends
of Mrs. John Hite, under the leader
ship of Mrs. w. j. Laubender, and
Frank Herndon, planned and carried
out an agreeable birthday surprise
on her Tuesday evening. Those who
constituted the party assembled at
the home of Mrs. A. Caldwell When
all was ready they marched in body
to the home of Mrs. Hite, whom they
found totally unaware of their COM
ing. The occasion was her 47th
birthday anniversary and the guests
gave her a beautiful leather rocking
chair as a token of remembrance.
Miss Ella Stearns made the presenta-
ton speech.
The evening was spent in an en-
joyable way and at the proper time
refreshments were served. One of
the interesting numbers of the eve
nings program was a recitation by
Grandma Caldwell, which was es-
pecially appropriate at this time on
account of the many nations that are
now engaged in a bloody war. The
little gathering. will be one long to
be remembered by Mrs. Hite, and all
who were present will look back to
this occasion with considerable
pleasure.

LOOKS LIKE AREpUBLICAN YEAR

The Republicans of Audubon coun-
ty have placed in the field ticket
this year that seems to meet with un-
iversal satisfaction. The candidates
have been busy the past week going
out to meet the voters. All of them
return with excellent reports, and
these reports being well founded,
leads one to believe that this is going
to be "A Republican Year" Two
years ago the republican ticket was
badly defeated and, as result Dem
ocrats have since occupied the court
house. Ii will, of course, be un-
necessary for this newspaper to say
that it hears these reports with
pleasure. This county is a repub
lican county and we ought to have
republicans fill at least a part of the
county offices.
The candidates on the republican
ticket are so we'll known that it
would be useless for us to make any
special comments. We will pause
long enough to ask all republicans
to support the ticket this year for
all the candidates are deserving and
will fill the offices to which they
aspire to the best of their ability

GOES TO CALIFORNIA TO-DAY

l.. D. Phelps, who until little
over a year ago was a member Of
the firm of Nash & Phelps, came
from Milton, Vermont, Monday and
spent a few days here looking after
business interests. He intended to
remain until after election, but his
uncle, B. S. Phelps, who left here
some nine years ago, wired him to
come to Los Angeles at once. He and
his uncle expect to enter the auto
mobile business and as the contracts
for next year were to be executed
at once it was imperative that l.. d..
