Life Fifty Happy Years

Mr.. and Mrs. Harvey High. cele-
brated their so years of welded life
in very fitting manner last Sunday
at the old home place, one half mile
east of Fiscus, where their son Id
Hight new resides. About 125 of
their relatives and friends were pres
ent to make the occasion one of Joy,
and one that would linger long in the
memory of each one who was privil-
eyed to participate in the event. The
many tokens of remembrance that
were presented by the guests is only
a fitting reorganization of the esteem
and regard in which they are held by
all. Among the gifts was twenty
dollars i'm gold.
gle Dickey were united in marriage
on the 22nd day of August 1865.
They lived in Livingston county, Ill
inois until 1879 when they emigrated
to Iowa. They lived at Walnut
from 1879 until April 1880 when
they moved to Audubon county locat-
ing on the farm near Fiscus. There
they resided until six years ago last
February when they moved to the
town of Audubon
At the time Mr. and Mrs. Hight
were married Mr.. and Mrs. James
Hadley, of Shoals, Nebr., were mar
ried. The boys were soldiers togeth-

MEAT MARKET is SOLD

Neal Barentsen and his brother,
Holjar Andersen have formed a part
nership and purchased the South
Park Meat Market from Joe Davis.
They are now getting the place in
shape to open to the public on Sat
urday morning of this week Mr..
Andersen is an experienced meat cut
ter and will move his family here.
Since Mr. Kraft remodeled the
building. and new fixtures were in
stalled, the place took on the APP
pearance of modern shop. There
ought to be plenty of room for two
markets in Audubon and the new
owners are financially able to handle
it, so they will be in condition to put
in on proper footing.
Both gentlemen are well known in
this section of the county and there
is no good reason why they should
not make a grand success of their
business venture. We understand
Mr.. Davis will remain with the new
firm for the present.

Mrs. Mary Kennard, who is now 80
years of age; Mrs. James Hadley of
Shoals, Nebr.. Mrs. Geo. Longnecker
of Omaha, and Mr.. and Mrs. Tom
Kimball of Nicola, Iowa.
Mr. and Mrs. Hight have passed
through many of the hardships in
cident to pioneer life, but they have
battled on bravely and faithfully and
now in their declining years they are
enjoying the fruits their labor,
and are surrounded with friends as
numberless as the sands of the sea
shore. The Republican joins in ex-
tending congratulations and hope
that their lives may be spared for
many years to come.

well personated.
A number of people have request
ed Mrs. Finch to give some selected

BANK INCREASES
CAPITAL STOCK
First National Bank of This City One
of the Strongest i'm Northwest
ern Iowa

STh tONa
At recent meeting of the stock
holders and directors of the First
National Bank of this city, the cap
ital stock of the institution was in
creased from $4,000 to 100000
This amount has been paid in cash
The bank therefore has $125,000 in
capital and surplus which places
them in a rank with the very best
and strongest institutions in the state
of Iowa
When it is considered that the
capital stock is liable to-an assess
ment of one hundred percent, it will
be seen that $250,000 would have to
be lost in bad loans before the money
belonging to depositors would be in
any danger With these facts and
figures at hand it will at once be
seen that the First National Bank of
Audubon is a safe and sound institu-
ton, and one where depositors can
do business with the assurance that
their funds are absolutely secure.
This bank was organized over SO
years ago at Extra by Chas. Van Cor
der. The capital stock at that time
was only $1,000. With the present
capital this same bank shows an in
crease ofone hundred and twenty-five
times since it's organization
The long years of experience in
the banking business. combined with
the capital and surplus and the judi
icious and painstaking management
of the men engineering its affairs,
enables the First National Bank to
extend still greater Accommodations to
the army of patrons who do business
with this strong banking concern.

SHOWING AT STATE FAIR

j. H. Gardner shipped "a head of
his choicest large type Duroc Jersey
hogs to Des Moines Monday where
he will have them on exhibition at
the state fair. His two year old boar
Sensation Select weighs 100 pounds
and his yearling, High Life Mode
weighs 700. Both these monsters
are expected to take prizes. Mr..
Gardner has an excellent herd and
will no doubt be among the winners
this year. Madison Spencer and the
Sievers Brothers will also ship hogs
to Des Moines today and they will
also exhibit their herds in the same
class. All Audubon county farmers
who attend the fair this year ought
to make it point 10 visit the boys
who are making Audubon county
famous with their high grade hogs.

NEW MANUAL
TRAINING EQUIPMENT

New manual training equipment
has been installed in the local school
this summer to comply with the state
law. which requires the teaching of
manual training beginning with this
year. A small room in the basement
has been fitted up rather temporarily
as the quarters are entirely too in
adequate to do much work along
this line. In fact, the best that can
be done under existing conditions
is to arrange small amount of this
work for the seventh and eighth
grades only. 1t is to be regretted
that the work can not be offered to
the high school boys this year, but
the limited amount of room will not
permit this.

" all the banks of Mexico TO redeem their notes
in gold Immediately when presented by the gov

for the banks to comply with this demand such
action would result in the closing Of the banks and
the destruction of what little credit Mexico has left

WHAT 1T MAY MEAN

TT WILL be remembered that Sir John French
is the man who declared that he would lead the
British armies against the Irish people and crush
them to the last man before he would draw his
sword to uphold an act of parliament-the Irish
home rule bill-which would give Self-government
TO loyal people who had been oppressed and
robbed for 800 years.
Now Sir John French has been deposed and
replaced by Sir Douglass tIaig, Scotchman and
consistent friend OF Ireland.
There's new Ireland coming out Of this war,
maybe free Ireland Perhaps, after all, the
rights will pretty near balance the wrongs"
