Fifty years ago today, Sept. 81.
1865, my eyes caught glimpse Of
Marshalltown for the first time said
George w. Smith. formerly Of this city.
but now of Omaha, who arrived here
today to look after business matters.
"Thirty-one months before, / had
enlisted and gone south / then
weighed $50 pounds. The morning
first saw Marshalltown my weight
was only eighty-three pounds.
II was helped down from my room
at the old Sherman House. situated
where now stands the First National
Bank 1t was beautiful September
morning. They placed chair out on
the east side of the hotel, and helped
me to it. / had been there few
moments when a large. fine looking
man came and stopped. asked my name,
and where I wanted to so. told him
l wanted to reach the home of my
parents before died. They had moved
to Marshall county while was in the
south. The gentleman was Thomas
3. Abel. He knew my parents, hav-
ing sold them the farm in Vienna
township where they then lived. l
asked him If there was, or would be,
some farmer from near there in town
with whom might ride out home. "rll
see that you are cared for said Mr..
Abell.'
He then went to livery. kept by
Henry Speers. where now stands the
Times Republican building. Tell Mr..
Speers to hitch up a gentle team to
take a soldier out into the country
was Abell's command.
'"rhe rig came to the hotel. driven
by a man by the name of Berry. Mr..
Abel was there. Picking me up in
his arms and putting me into the car
rage, he told Berry to drive slowly and
carefully, for he had frail package
to deliver. Mr.. Abel asked me if
had any word or possessions I wanted
him to deliver or attend to. l gave
him my pocketbook. He took 1t into
his bank and brought me certificate
Of deposit for $500. That was the be-
ginning Of fifty years of continuous
business with the irst National Bank
of Marshalltown. Notwithstanding

state, I am still staunch friend and
patron, doing business with the old
First National Bank Of Marshalltown.

The board eliminated one fund,
court, and added one, general insane,
that was not in the 1914 levy. The
court expense will be paid out Of the
general fund, and the general insane
fund needed the money.
Five funds were increased. These
and the amount of the increases, are:
County fund, IL mills; poor, s mill;
county insane, q mill; soldiers relief.
4 mill: and bridge, MILL The levies
for county road, schools and county
or road building are fixed by law. In
creased expenditures and the need Of
more money to carry on the countys
business are the general reasons for
the increase in the levies.

DRUGGISTS ADVISED
TO FORM SOCIETIES
FOR Their Benefit

Recommendation that Richmond
druggists organize 1; city association or
club for their mutual benefit was con-
tanned in a statement yesterday by p.
G. Long, state inspector representing
the State Board Of Pharmacy who left
the city at noon with Inspector J. B.
Hemphill, after concluding q three
days investigation here.
Il am surprised that there Is no
druggists organization here" said In
spector Long. Druggists IN cities no
larger than Richmond have there re
spectiye clubs or societies or asocia-
tion and in those places where they do
exist, they are Of inestimable value.
I'd certainly sugges- that the druggists
here form an 'rganization. They would
find it of real advantage. commercial
ly and socially"

called away by pressing business In

PURDUE EXPERT
May INSTRUCT
FARMERS CLUB

The movement to interest at least
dozen farmers in each of three
townships in the county in attending
a class at least two days in the week
conducted by an expert agriculturalist
from Purdue university will be pro-
NOTED next year." said County Super
intendent Williams.
According to arrangements which
can be made with Purdue university
and the state board of education
through the vocational department. an
expert will be sent to Wayne county
to conduct class at salary of
$1,000. OF this amount the state will
pay $500 If the remaining $400 is paid
by the townships. At least twelve
young men in each township between
the ages of IA and 25 years must con
sent to join the class for the entire
year, before the state agree to furnish
the money.
An effort was made early this year
to push the plan in this county but it
met failure. The expert would not
take the place of county agent, as
he would devote all of his time to
the classes. The course of study has
been arranged by the state board and
Purdue university.
Superintendent Williams is in favor
of the plan and will solicit the town
ship trustees at an early meeting next
year to consider the proposition

ALLIES ARMY
| STOPS RETREAT

LONDON. Dec. 16.-The retreat Of
the Anglo-French troops from Servia
has ended. On account of the strength
Of the Bulgarian and German forces
on the Greek frontier, it is believed
that the allies will remain upon the
defensive until further reinforcements
arrive at Salonika from England and
France.
Practically the whole eastern part
of Greek Macedonia has been aban-
doned by Greek troops. says the Ath-
ems correspondent of the Times.
The. French forces that retreated
into Greece from Servia have been re-
assembled upon Greek soil. 1t is Off
cially announced by the French war
Office. Bulgarian attacks against the
French rear guard were repulsed. No
Bulgarian soldiers have entered
Greek territory.
