Art Smith, the we'll known cattle
feeder of Lamont, returned last Fri
day from Chicago, where he took a
couple of cars of cattle, and he
struck a good market, selling two
cars of his cattle at $10.25. He also
topped the market with a couple of
yearling steers of his own feeding,
and they were the highest priced
cattle he ever sold, as they sold for
$11.OO. The two of them weighed
$3.50 pounds and brought him
s291.5O, almost $50 head for
yearlings, and that is going some.

Reporter Man Receives Appoint
ment.

The Reporter man last Friday re-
ceived an appointment, and was
considerably surprised as we have
never solicited office. The appoint-
ment was in shape of finely litho-
graphed commission. as 4 delegate TO
the Northwestern Road Congress to
be held at Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
October 2Sth to 31st, and was Is
sued by Governor Clarke. Accom-
panying the commission was a letter
from the governor stating he hoped
we would be ablc to attend, but that
the appointment was honorary, as
there are no state funds for the pay
ment Of expenses. We have no PM
yate funds at our disposal for the
expense necessary to make the trip
to Milwaukee, SO our absence from
the congress will be noted.

P0S 0SIPONf DEDICATION
New 6ret6reas Church will be Dedi-
Gated On Suaday, Oct. 25th,
with Appropriate Services.

The dedication of the new Breth-
rem church In this city which had
been announced for next Sunday, has
been postponed one week and will be
held on Sunday, Oct. 25th. The post
pohement was caused by the delay
in getting the heating apparatus In
stalled, 30 it was thought best to
wait until 1t was entirely finished and
heated 30 that all would be comfort
able at the dedication services.
The new church Is onesof the fin
est in southern Iowa, and Isl of
unique design, there being but three
of this style in the state. The church
is bungalow style, with stuccO base
to the window line, leather colored
stained shingles being used up to the
very wide caves, the trimming being
in white which makes striking con-
trast. The building is 50x76 feet,
and will have q seating capacity of
about 400. The interior is beautiful
ly finished throughout with golden
oak, the ceilings tinted cream color
and the walls are light tan, with
the base in darker tan.
The general shape of the new
church is that of cross, the symbol
also being carried out in the panels
Of the doors. The interior is most
conveniently arranged throughout
with every modern convenience.
On dedication day there will be
three services, at IL, $3.50 and 1880
O'Clock. Rev. w. H. Beachler, pas
tor of the First Brethren Church of
Waterloo, Iowa, president of the
Iowa State Sunday School Associa-
ton and Moderator of the National
Conference of the Brethren church,
will preach the dedicatory sermon.
At the afternoon service there will
be a fellowship service, with special
music by the choir under the direc-
tion of W. e. Kemp, and all the pas
tors of Leon will participate in the
services.
Rev. CT. Ronk, the pastor of the
new church is entitled to great credit
for erecting such a beautiful church
in Leon. He has personally done a
large amount of work on the church,
supervising the planning and, finance
ing fit, and has performed a great
deal of manual labor on the new edi-
fee, for he is q. good workman as
well asa good preacher.
