RESOLUTION OF RESPECT

WHEREAS, the Supreme Archi-
tect of the Universe, in his infinite
wisdom, has recently taken from out
our midst a true and faithful friend
and brother, and
WHEREAS, the departed brother
during his sojourn on earth measured
up to the true standard of a man
and Mason, and
WHEREAS, his death was untime-
ly and his brethren mourn, and
WHEREAS, family circle has
been broken, and widow and the
loved ones sit sorrowing, and
WHEREAS. man with all his
knowledge, power and wisdom is ex-
ceedingly small and weak, and in the
face of call from on high his efforts
avail naught, there
BE IT RESOLVED, by the men,
bers and brethren of Veritas Lodge
No. 1872, Ancient, Free and Accepted
Masons, Audubon, Iowa. that We
most deeply deplore the untimely
passing of our beloved brother
George Townsend. But few short
days .ago he was among US full of
life and energy and purpose; the
grim spectre beckoned, his column
was broken. yet his work was not
finished. During his life with US he
proved himself to be faithful hus-
band, a loving father, a good brother
and kind and considerable neighbor.
We trust that the passing of years
will tighten the load and lessen the
sorrow which his untimely departure
has caused, and that in the days
which are to come the fond memory
of the departed one will be to those
left behind blessing and a benedic-
ton.
BE 1T FURTHER RESOLVED,
that these resolutions be spread upon
the minutes of the lodge, that a copy
thereof be sent to the family of the
deceased. and another copy be furn-
ished to each Of the local newspapers.

POPULAR YOUNG PEOPLE WED

One OF the prettiest weddings Of
the season was soleminzed Monday
at high noon, when Edith lola john
son and Samuel J. Ross were united
in marriage at the home of the
brides parents, Mr.. and Mrs. E. M.
Johnson.
The bridal party with Mrs. Carl
Caswell, as matron of honor, and Mr..

their places to the strains of Mem
delshons wedding march, played by
Miss June Grey. The ceremony was
performed by Rev. Jackson Giddens,
and was witnessed by only the very
intimate friends and relatives of the
contracting parties.
The bride was very attractive in a
gown of white satin with battenberg
overdress made en- traine. She car
| ried shower bouquet of white roses
lilies of the valley and sweet peas.
| The groom wore a suit OF dark blue.
After congratulations, the guests
were seated at tables very attractive
| ly decorated with pink roses and
carnations and five course dinner
was served.
The bride is one of Audubon's
most charming daughters who has
grown to womanhood in this city and
possesses many womanly graces. She
secured her education in the city pub
lie schools and in later years was one
of the county's most successful rural
teachers. All will miss her in the
social and church life of the COM
munity where she held a prominent
place.
The groom is the son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Geo. Ross, who reside north of
town. He is hustling and progress
i've young farmer who will make his
mark in the world. He has provided
la splendid home for his bride on the
farm five miles north of Audubon,
where the happy couple will go to
housekeeping about April first.
The newlyweds took the Rock Is
land train Monday evening for Gals
ifornia. They will visit many points
of interest on the coast and also at
tend the exposition. The Republican
joins their army of friends in extend
ing most hearty congratulations.

DIDN'T KNOW GUN WAS LOADED

Carl Wilson, residing five miles
east of Audubon while working with
a gun Thursday evening accidentally
shot himself in the right ankle. He
didn't know the CUR. was loaded. As
soon as the accident happened. he
harnessed team of horses, and go
ing to neighbor to accompany him
to town, went to the Office of DR..
Childs who succeeded in removing
the cap which had lodged in the
bone. The lead was not found, and
from the appearance of the wound
1t was impossible to tell whether the
bullet had entered the flesh. The
gun was 32 calibre and but small
wound was inflicted. He is staying
in town and having the wound treat
ed daily which is healing nicely. IN
less unforeseen complications should
follow he will recover and no i'll at

WILL HAVE PERMANENT CARE

For several months past the truss
tees of Maple Grove cemetery have
been seeking to perfect plans looking
forward TO offering perpetual care to
the owners of lots in that beautiful
burying ground.
In years past, an assessment of
$3.50 per lot was made, which paid
for the care of the same during the
season. This answered the purpose,
but is was quite unsatisfactory. The
owner of one lot would pay, and, the
owner of the adjoining lot would fail
to pay, consequently the trustees
were constantly in trouble as to keep
ing the cemetery in a presentable
condition.
1t has finally resulted in a plan
that calls for each lot owner to pay
the sum of $35. This amount will
be set aside and the interest accur-
ing from II will be used TO care for
the lots, the streets and avenues. In
this manner all lots can be cared
for, and work can be planned in
early spring that by Decoration Day
the entire burying ground can be in
proper condition.
The project is certain of success as
it is backed by the Odd Fellows lodge
of this city, an organization that be-
gan here Jan. Is, 1881. They have
ample funds to start it, and already
many lot owners have signified their
intention of purchasing one of the
certificates, a copy of which is here
with reprinted.
