was. I've been outside for half an

Hayes.
Hayes started toward the door.
Call me when you're ready, Mrs.
Slade. I'll wait in the hail." and he
disappeared.
Slade thrust his hands deep into his
pockets and looked at his wife IN q
puzzled way. She was neryously
pulling OF her gloves and beginning
to realize that her visit was. for some
unexplained reason, scarcely the sue
cess she had planned it to be.

PREACHER is POUNDED

Monday evening while Rev. Smith
and his wife were at the Evangelical
church attending a meeting of the
church board, number of the menu
bers of the church gathered at the
parsonage and took complete charge
of it. When Mr.. and Mrs. Smith
went home from the church they
hadn't the slightest idea that the par
sonage had been invaded and not
until Mrs. Smith turned on the,
lights in the dining room did they
learn the real situation. To find the
home filed with friends was indeed
a delightful surprise but to find that
the dining room table had been laid
en- with all kinds of groceries and
provisions was a still greater sur
prise The pound party proved
most delightful affair. After every
one had become comfortably located
the evening was spent in sociability
and music. At the proper time
strawberry pie and coffee was
served.
Before the departure of the guests
Rev. Smith made a splendid little
talk and thanked those present for
the gifts they had brought and for
their kindness and the expression OF
confidence and devotion.

DID THEY GET MARRIEDq

II was reported at Guthrie Center
the last of the week that a young
Audubon couple returning from the
convention at Earlham had been
married at the M. E. parsonage. The
matter started as a joke, and no
one thought seriously of it until a
representative of one of the Guthrie
Center newspapers called on the
Methodist minister to learn all oil
the facts.
When one of the automobiles car
rying two young couples reached
Guthrie Center, the muddy roads
made it impossible for the car to
travel any further Having nothing
else to do they concluded to pay Rev
Freedline and family short visit.
Not being familiar with the town,
the young folks asked passerby
the way to the Methodist parsonage.
They were politely directed, and at
the same time asked IL a wedding
was to take place. One of the mem
bers of the party jokingly remarked
that there was. All of them were
seen at the parsonage a short time
after, and while they were merely
visiting, Guthrie Center folks con-
cluded that a runaway couple had
been married.
Rev. Freedline took the Newspaper
representative into his confidence
and related the actual. facts concern
ing the affair that had, from all out
ward appearances, furnished abund-
ant evidence for well grounded sus-
picion. This explanation satisfied the
news Ratherer who Joined heartily
with the Audubonites in laughing
over the joke that had been uninten-
tionally perpetrated.

~ PHONE MATTER SETTLED

The telephone situation in Audi
bon county that had reached alarm
ing proportions was amicibly settled
last Saturday when the Audubon
County Farmers Mutual Telephone
Co., finally decided not to build ex-
changes in AUDI county. On &C
count of - goor service that the
Iowa Te.-pnone Co., was giving its
patrons, a strong sentiment had been
created for the erection of another
exchange both in Audubon and in
Extra. The Iowa people learning of
the situation at once got busy and
sent some of the officials here to try
to arrange matters so that a. second
exchange would not be built.
The Iowa Telephone Co. made a
number of concessions to the farm ers
and offered to contract with them for
switching service at the old rate for
period of one year with the priv
ilege of five. vote was taken at a
meeting OF the stockholders at the
court house Saturday afternoon and
the officers of the company were en-
powered to sign the contracts.
By this action the Iowa Telephone
Co. was given another lease on life.
They have promised US good service.
They are now on probation and If
the service is not forthcoming it will
only be a question of few months
when the farmers will organize and
build their own exchange. There is
every reason though, to believe that
the Iowa people will make their
promise good.

SAD FoURTHs OF JULY

The saddest Fourths of July in the
history of the nation were those of
the years of the civil war. The day
was no longer day of rejoicing of
a united people, and brother fought
brother with q valor never surpassed
in the history of the world, If,
when the day came. the north rejoic-
ed, 1t was a day of sorrow for the
south. and II the north wept it was
a time of jubilation for the south.
Such a day was the Fourth of July,
1861, when, after three days of terri
fic fighting and awful slaughter, the
north and the south heard momentous
news from Gettysburg bloody field.
Meade's dispatch to President Lin
coin caused the north to rejoice, but
the south was plunged in gloom.
But the independence days of the
civil war were not all days of re-
joicing for the north. In 1851 Big
Bethel had just been fought and had
been won by the south and Ellsworth
had been shot while hauling down
the Confederate flag in Alexandria.
On this day also the Thirty-sixth Con-
gress met in extra session with eight
states not represented.
The Fourth of July Of 1852 had al
50 been a gloomy one for the north,
for Mcclellan suffered severely in
the Seven Days battle and had been
forced to retreat and change his base
Of operations.
Dark indeed was the Fourth 'of
July of 1864, and with the exception
of the sinking of the Alabama by the
Kearsarge off the coast of France
two weeks beforehand the north had
little cause for rejoicing. For the
south as well 1t was not day of hap
piness. Grant was slowly forcing
Lee back, II is true, but he was do
ing so with frightful slaughter in his
own ranks. His loss after crossing
the Rapidan, two months previously
had been $4,000 men, and 1t was i'm
possible to forecast just how events
would turn out, The following year
the dark clouds of war had rolled
away. and had 1t not been for the
tragic death of the president the
Fourth of 1855 would have been one
of the happiest holidays in the his
tory of the nation. The only notable
event on this day was the reading
of the proclamation of amnesty to
those southerners who had taken
part in the late war.

CASE OF PERSECUTION

A couple of fellows who are work
ing on the city disposal plant for
Ward 4 Weighton have figured quite
prominently in the courts the past
few days. One of the boys claims to
be a pal of one of the gang, was ar
rested for taking coat and pair
of field glasses. A warrant was is
sued for his arrest and on hearing
was fined $25 and costs. The accused
man claims he only borrowed the
clothing from his pal, and intended
to return it when he got back to
Audubon. A little bad blood between
the two at the present time, is sup
posed to be the cause for the action.
He is now in the county Jail serving
a sentence that will not expire until
