Vandalia Leader: Judge John Cat
son has made a novel offer to the five
tenants occupying his five tenant
farms near Vandalia, to the effect
that if the corn on their respective
farms averages AS bushels to the
acre he will give to each a SIS
suit of clothes. AS an inducement
for intense farming this is unique
but no doubt if the possibility lies in
the soil, it will be effective. And
thereby is the Judges sagacity. The
tenants on Judge Gatson's farms are

THE CITY OF REFUGE

Everybody who is dissatisfied with
the city government of Audubon,
Iowa.. can flee to the above named
city, which shall be free from the raw
ages of the assessor.
The City of Audubon Is going to
have taxes so heavy resulting from
sewers, school houses, libraries.
churches etc., so we feel that we want
to go to this city and there relieve our
oppression of the taxation of Audi
bon.
Now this city of Kickersville is
not going to have schoolhouses, or
stores, or sidewalks, or churches,
but we are going to deal with Mont
going to escape Shylock, and all we
buy we get from the said Montgom-
cry, Ward & Co., and as far as edu-
cational matters are concerned we
will buy our library from there ac-
cording to every ones needs of edu-
cation. We expect to have a goodly
lot of citizens in this new city. Cit
liens of this haven are entitled to
spend their money as they so desire.
This City is going to be run on a
most economical plan. Everybody
is going to enjoy to the fullest ex-
tent the freedom of speech and ev-
erybody is going to be law to him
self If any dispute or difficulty
should happen to arise, these are
going to be settled according to
Jack Johnson's plan.

ENJOY FAMILY REUNION

A little family gathering took place
on Christmas day In Atlantic that In
cluded former Audubon people as
well as some of those who still reside
here. The gathering was held at the
home of Mrs. Claude Lacey, 219 Wal
nut street, and it<eluded her son Roy
Prather, wife and three children Of
this city; her daughter, Mrs. Carl
Johnson, her husband and baby of
Harlan; Mr.. and Mrs. Chas. Lacey
and Mr.. and Mrs. viii Lacey of At
lantic. ALI who were present pro-
nounce the event most enjoyable
one. The excellent dinner that was
served to pass away the time in a
a manner that is always agreeable
and pleasant. 1t is quite probable
that similar events will be held each
year hereafter, for the Christmas
season brings kin folks close togeth-
er and spirit pervades the atmos-
phere that atunes the heart which
makes everyone happy and contented.
There is no place like home and there
is no companionship so sweet as
mothers.

FOUNDER OF GRAY
DIES In TEXAS
er I'm This County. Funeral
at Gray on Saturday

News reached Audubon yesterday
concerning the death of Geo. Gray,
which occurred at Chesterville, Tex
as, Tuesday Dec. 20. For many years
the deceased was a prominent bust
ness man of this county and at one
time owned several thousand acres
of land. The remains will be shipped
to Gray for burial Saturday and in
tered in the cemetery beside his
wife who died several years ago.
The deceased was brother of the
late Lois G. Stuart.
The deceased was born on a farm
in the state of Vermont, Aug. 8, 1916
and was the youngest of farmily
of eleven children, and was the son
of William and Isabel (Roben) Gray
His father was a native of Vermont
while his mother came from Scot
land, and lived to be so years of age
Mr.. Gray spent his youth in his
native county, receiving his educa-
tion in the common school and in a
seminary. At the age of Fl he start
ed in business for himself. He drift
ed west as far as Stark County, ILL.,.
where he was employed to work on a
farm for $40 per month. AS his
means increased he invested in land
and was soon able to begin farming
on his own land. He devoted con-
siderable time to stock raising in
which he was very successful. While
living in Illinois he purchased 1160
acres of land in Iowa, most of which
was located in Audubon county, a
1000 acres of which he improved.
On disposing of his interests in III
inois he moved to Stuart, Iowa
where he engaged in the grain, lum-
her and stock business which he con-
Quoted for several years. By this
time he had purchased 1000 acres Of
land in Audubon and Carroll count
les, which he improved and one year
sowed 5000 acres to wheat from
which he realized a handsome pro-
fit. In 1880 Mr.. Gray began dealing
in wheat in this county which he
shipped to Chicago. This caused him
to build large elevators in Audubon
Ross and Gray.
In 1874 he was married to Miss
Fannie A. Spencer of Stark county
ILL.,, and to this marriage one son,
George was born who now resides
at Chesterville, Texas. Mr.. Gray
was married a second time and the
widow with the son survive.
Many readers of the Republican
will regret to learn of Mr.. Gray's
death for he was public spirited
man and did much for the advance
ment of this section of the county.
The remains will be shipped to
Gray Saturday and interment made
in the Gray cemetery.

FAREWELL OLD YEAR

The old year will soon have passed
into history. We will part with II
as with an old friend. To some ii
has brought much joy--to others
sorrow. Yet we are reluctant to say
farewell Like palsied man 1t tot
tiers as it nears the end of life's jour-
ney and goes forward towards the
vast vault wherein doth lie the forms
of dead dynasties and sheeted CEN
lturies swept by the remorseless hand
of time to that great graveyard at
the entrance of which rises the mag
mary tombstone upon which is in
scribed these words, THE PAST"
There is a sublime solemnity in the
slowly moving, yet never varying
tide of years. Man has marked its
course into hours, days, weeks,
months, centuries, yet it rushes on,
on and still on, utterly unmindful
of the puny marks raised to measure
the tide that never tires. Dynasties
have risen, flourished and decayed;
cities have sprung from fertile plains
and then sank beneath the desert
shifting sands; continents have rear
ed their lofty brows above the oceans
trackless waste, only to return to the
coral caverns from which they rose;
races have risen to the noon of
splendor and then been lost in the
darkness of night, but Time, plod-
ding, tireless Time. sweeps on with
the same regularity as when it first
issued forth, from the hollow of
Gods hand to the chant Of the morn
ing stars and the proclaimed crea-
tion's dawn. And yet Time is but the
image of eternity, the shadow of a
shoreless sea, the type of duration
for which all the ages past and all
the aeons to come would not make
or constitute the first faint flush of
the first streak of dawn of its second
morning Eternity. thou pleasing,
dreadful thought" That never end
ing reign succeeding the crash OF
matter and the wreck of the worlds,
suns, systems. Intelligence has ach-
ieved triumps. 1t has read the stars
of heaven and can foretell to a sec
ond when the great fiery sun will
be hidden in partial or total eclipse;
it can read the history of creation
on the rocks of nature and unfold
the secrets hidden by God in the
bowels of the earth; but when 1t at
tempts to grasp the significance of
eternity 1t stands abashed and dumb
founded at its inability to compre-
bend an infinite plan.

THREE GENERATIONS
AT CHRISTMAS PARTY

Christmas eve brought real Christ.
mas cheer to the home of Grandma
and Grandma Rutherford at theiI
home In Ross In the form of sur.
prise party representing three gen.
erations, which united. them with
their entire family, a number oil
grandchildren, great grandchildren
and other relatives and friends.
The occasion was to celebrate the
birthday anniversaries of Mr.. Ruth
erford, aged 81 years, his daughter
Nancy, and granddaughter. Vera,
daughter of Thomas Rutherford Jr.
The event proved a success in every
detail.
The evening was spent in games
and social visitation, bringing back
vivid thoughts of the happy Christ
mas ewes of long ago to this estim-
able aged people and their children.
Mr.. and Mrs Rutherford received
two easy rocking chairs as token
of esteem from relatives and many
other beautiful presents which they
will treasure as tokens of friend
ship.
On account of Mrs. Rutherford suf-
ering a broken arm, dainty refresh
ments were served at an early hour,
of which all partook freely and then
left for their respective homes wish
ing these worthy people the privilege
of spending many more happy birth
days and Christmas ewes together.

IOWA SENTIMENT RIGHT

The unanimous response of the
farmers of Warren county to the ap-
peal of Senator John w. Foster of
Guthrie Center to stand for the pro-
gram of Governor Clark's road COM
mission in the next legislature may
probably be taken as typical of the
response that will be made in every
county when the matter Is presented
as intelligently as Senator Fostor pre-
sents it.
Governor Clarke's commission is
not taking any chances with untried
or with novel proposals. 1t is going
to the taxpayers with the simplest
proposition that can be submitted,
the construction of better roads by
the county and towt nit, with
money secured by -ty
bonds.
The commission can show and will
show that by bonding the county can
reduce its levies and at the same
time have much better roads than it
will ever be able to build out of a d.
rect yearly tar. Instead of raising
taxes the law will definitely provide
for lowering taxes.
II objection was to be offered We
might assume that it would have been
offered at Senator Fosters meeting
for the Warren county people are in
the habit of speaking out in meeting.
and they also have the habit of max
ing up their own minds.
The Evening Tribune has long be-
lieved that the opposition to good
roads was much less formidable than
it has been assumed to be, that what
the taxpayers are opposed to is doing
too much at one time, and at too i'm
mediate cost. Once 1t is made to ap-
pear that the money we are already
spending will give Iowa road sys-
tenn, there will be no opposition at
all.
Senator Foster and the other men,
bers of the governors commission
should complete their work by now
going before the people as often as
possible to explain and popularize
their program.-Des Moines Tribune.
