Horse Had Long Auto Ride.

Frank Foland, of near Grand
River, attracted considerable atten-
ton in Leon last Friday with a
trailer attached to his Ford car, in
which was comfortably riding a
horse weighing about 1000 pounds.
Mr.. Poland has a two-wheeled trail
er which he attaches to his car, and
uses in hauling things from his farm
to the town of Grand River. At the
recent sale held by Bowsher & Bow
sher at their farm near Lincville,
w. S. Brannaman, of near Grand
River, purchased good colt, and as
it was long way to move the colt
across the country he hired Mr.. Fo-
land to go down after him with his
auto. A strong crate was attached
to the box of the trailer and into
this the colt was placed, and away
they scooted over the country, the
colt apparently enjoying the ride as
quick as he got used to the swift
mode of travel. They made the trip
of about forty miles without acci-
dent

Important Sewer Notice.

No person will be allowed to con-
meet a private sewer line onto the
new sewers which run into Outlets
Nos. i and 3.
First reason is, that these sewers
belong to the contractor until COM
pleted and accepted by the city and
the contractor will take no chance OF
sewage accidentally finding its way
into any part of it until inspected
and accepted by the city.
i. Second reason is, the city can not
give you permission without inyali-
dating it's contract with the construc-
tion company. City engineers and
inspectors are instructed to advise
you of these conditions.

Physicians Banquet DIR. H. II. Layton

The physicians of Leon and their
wives gave banquet at Hotel Leon
Tuesday evening in honor of DR.. and
Mrs. H. r. Layton, the occasion be-
ing the 4Ist anniversary of DR.. Lay
toms engaging in practice in Leon,
and he has actively followed his
profession during all these years,
and there never was a physician in
the state of Iowa who enjoyed the
esteem Of his professional brothers
and his thousands Of patients more
than Dr. Layton And what a
change in medical practice since he
commenced practice in the little vii
lage of Leon forty-one years ago,
with handful of instruments, sad
die bag to carry calOmel and blue
mass, and an old pony to travel over
the country. Now a physicians Of
flee contains small fortune in mod
ern instruments and appliances, and
physician could not practice with
out an auto.
Landlord Bowsher and his wife
outdid themselves with the banquet,
the table being decorated with car
nations, the dinner was everything
that could be desired and the SER
VICE was Slulp1y pclICCl. u0 6ucSLS
complimented Mr.. and Mrs. Bowsher
very highly on the excellent banquet
and service.
After the banquet at the hotel the
guests went to the home of DR.. Lay
ton where an enjoyable evening was
spent with music and conversation,
light refreshments being served. DR..
o. w. Foxworthy on behalf of all
the physicians of Leon, in neat lit
tie speech presented DR.. Layton with
a beautiful loving cup, with the fol-
lowing inscription engraved upon it..
"Dr. H. r. Layton, 1S74-1915. From
his Leon colleagues, May 4, 1915"
And it goes without saying that Dr..
Layton never received a present in
his life which he cherishes as much
as this loving cup. Notice was CIV
en- him by his colleagues, that in
presenting him with this loving cup,
they did not intimate that it was
time for him to retire from practice,
for he would be sorely missed by all
of them.
The following were the guests:
DR.. and Mrs. F. A. Bowman, DR.. and
Mrs. B. L. Eiker, DR.. and Mrs. o. W.
Foxworthy, DR.. and Mrs. c.. H. Mitch
ell, DR. and Mrs. J. w. Robinson, DR..
