FIRE IN ATLANTIC YESTERDAY

The Nelson Harrow Factory in At
lantic was burned to the ground yes
terday afternoon. The loss is esti-
mated at $1,000 with no insurance.
Audubon people will be interested in
this matter as the inventor of the
new harrow is A. A. Nelson who at
one time lived in Audubon and was
connected with Chas. Bagley in the
abstracting business. The loss is
quite heavy as the factory had been
started less than three weeks and had
lot of orders to fill. 1t is very I'M
fortunate, but Audubon people know
what Mr.. Nelson is and before long
he will be doing business again on a
larger scale than before. The factory
was employing eight men. No new
invention of recent years has been as
promising of good results as Mr.. Nell
sons harrow. .4U

CHANGED to see them. The horses are

ers who are posted tell us that Mr.
Wilson has two horses that are hard
to beat. They are well bred, have
good color and magnificent style. The
farmers, especially those in the south
part of the county, where Mr.. Wilson
intends to make the season with his
excellent horses, are indeed forum
ate in having animals of such quail
ity in the neighborhood. Mr.. Wilson
is very proud of his horses, and we
don't blame him.
