AutomobiIing i'm the Rain.

Miss Susie Schlatter, OF Indian
apoils, Ind, arrived last Friday on
a visit TO the home of her brother
p. H. Schlatter and wife. On Mon
day Mr.. Schlatter and family took
her to Spring Grove, via automo-
bile, on a short visit. On the return
trip they left Spring Grove at 4:30
and encountered mud and rain prac-
tically the entire distance until
reaching the James NARROW home
about five miles out from DEBORAH.
There was no rain in that vicinity,
but after mile or two of travel ran
into another hard rain, which kept
up until they passed the Haas farm
about a mile out of town. Rain and
mud wasn't the only thing they had
to contend with, for they had pune
tured tire to contend with also, which
didn't add any real pleasure to the
return trip.

An Ambitious Hen.

One day last week one of John
Heggs sons who resides near the
Koren church out near Washington
Prairie, loaded up load of hay in
the morning and left it stand near
the barn for about 20 minutes, be-
fore starting for town. The hay
was delivered to the Bert Ruth feed
barn in the rear of this office. When
the men started to unload it they
discovered a hen on top of the load
and under her a fine fresh egg laid
on the way to town. Talk about
thrift that hen certainly is on to
her job. She must have heard
about the new pure food law, and
was going TO show the natives that
her eggs were always fresh. Now Mr..
Ruth is requesting all farmers to
bring hen with every load of hay

Becoming Popular.

The city park has long been a
much sought place for recreation
and rest for DEBORAH residents, and
it is fast becoming a beauty spot
second to none in the state. Not
only is it popular locally but by
people in neighboring villages and
towns who are less fortunate in the
matter Of public grounds for shady
and cool comfort. Tuesday after
noon a party of sixteen ladies and
gentlemen from Ossian spent the
afternoon in our city park returning
to Ossian on the evening train. We
trust that they enjoyed the afternoon
and hope that they will come again
and often.

Record Breaking Corn.

What is believed to be the largest
corn in Iowa at this time of the
year, is to be found on Willow
Lawn farm" incorporated, just west
of Waverly. According to w. A.
Watkins, the corn is but 40 days cd
and will average four and one half
feet tall all over the field, and in
some places is more than six feet
tall. This is the result of using fer
tiliZer and placed just a little ahead
of each hill of corn. The corn was
plowed June 20 for the last time
and was so large that it was difficult
to prevent breaking.

A Lively Runaway.

Sunday night about midnight E.
E Van Horn and C. M. Tony were on
their way home TO the Frank Pilgrim
farm where they are employed. They
were driving a single horse, hitched
to a buggy, and when near the
pumping station in the south end of
town, the horse took fright at some
thing, started to run, and they were
unable to control him. Both men
were thrown out of the buggy, which
was badly smashed UP. The horse
got free from the buggy and made
the five miles out to Pilgrims in
record time. One Of Mr.. Van Horn S
legs was injured but Mr.. Tony es-
capped unhurt.

Sunday evening two automobiles
collided on the Freeport road below
brakes place. B. H. Adams was
driving down towards the dam in
his r. c. H. car and Andrew Ander-
son was driving towards DEBORAH in
his Ford. 1t was just beginning to
get dark, and where the cars met
the road is very sandy, and the Ford
car skidded in the sand and bumped
into the r. C. H. The latter car
had a wheel broken off and suffered
a few other minor injuries, while
the Ford escaped with broken radl-
ator.
1t was one of those unavoidable
collisions and both parties took in
the situation in a good natured way.

Fitted Him in 20 Minutes.

A gentleman who resides in the
county was in Chicago recently, and
decided he would purchase suit
of clothing for himself while there.
After trying for over three hours in
one of the largest stores there to
get a fit he gave the task up. On
his arrival home last Thursday he
decided to try the Ben Bear clothing
store, and in just twenty minutes
he was fitted out to perfection in a
fine up-to-the-minute suit. When it
comes to clothing Ben Bear has per-
haps one of the largest and best Sc
lected stocks in the state, and it is
rare occasion, if any at all, that a
customer is unable to be fitted out
with a suit, or anything else in the
clothing line. Thirty-eight years in
the business in DEBORAH, and study
ing the needs of his many customers,
has given Mr. Bear a prestige that
is hard TO beat. When he can beat
cut large Chicago store in fitting
out customer it is evidence enough
that he has got the goods, styles,
etc. His big double store contains
a stock of goods from the different
leading clothing manufacturers, all
personally selected by him, which
gives a person a variety second to
none in the country, and makes Sc
lections matter of pleasure TO Gus
toners.

30 Year Old MOustache Gone.

The many acquaintances of our
genial friend John Finn had to look
twice at him on the Fourth before
they recognized him. Some took
him for former Senator Chaun-
cey Depew, thinking perhaps he was
here to deliver a Fourth of July ora
ton, but on closer scrunity they
discovered it was genial John, with
his moustache gone, for the first time
in 35 years. The change has made
him look almost that many years
younger. We are under the, i'm
preston that A. NJ. Perry, who is
here from Seattle, where he left
his whiskers, prevailed upon John
to get in line with him. At any rate
they both look like boys again.
