Birthday Celebration.

An occasion long to be remembered
was the celebration of Mrs. Hattie Cole
Kellow's eightieth birthday, when a
number of her old New Oregon friends
succeeded in surprising her, bringing
with them some beautiful gifts and q
bounteous picnic dinner. We were
asked to give to the guests the names
they bore in their girlhood days. They
were Helen Hunt, Lib Callahan, Ada
McCulloch, Kip and Fannie Moore,
Lizzie Carpenter, Allie Mitchell, Hattie
McCollum, Julia and Susie Cole and
Ella Mead. The guests and hostess
enjoyed visiting about old times and
hope that Mrs. Kellow may enjoy many
more birthdays. ~

Ms. LII. G. English.

On Sunday afternoon at 8 o'clock at
the Congregational Church, Mrs. Lila
G. English to whom Opie Read says,
ITO write the history Of nation is q
broad art; to sing the song Of q soul is
a-divine gift. and you, then, are most
divinely gifted" will address the faith
ers and sons of Cresco and vicinity.
The subject will be playing the
Game" All men and all boys ever
twelve are cordially urged to to pres
ent. There will be 70 admission, but q
free will offering will be received for
Mrs. English.
Dave Darrah, Y. M. C.. A. Secre-
tary at Charles City says of this sd-
dress, Mrs. English spoke to over $50
men and boys and did more real good
than any other person have seen. and
I have seen few of them in this line.
She will deliver ''the goods" and any
town owes it to her men and boys to
secure her services.
F. E. Finch, Pres. Board of Educa-
tion of Fayette, says II cannot.speak
too highly of Mrs. English's work here
for both mothers and daughters, faith
ers and sons. She got at the heart of
things and held the reverent attention
of all. She is the mother Of three
grown children and never offends, al
though she speaks very plainly. 1t is
the unanimous opinion here that better
and higher ideals will be the result of
this great lecture"
Upon the request of the pastors, Mrs.
English has consented to talk at q
union meeting at the Congregational
Church, Sunday evening. A hearty in
vitation is extended to all members and
others in the community to attend the
meeting.

Reporter Com.toek i. Attorney.

w. w. Comstock, for many years
past reporter in Judge Hobson's court,
passed the state bar examination at
Des Moines last week, and now is a
licensed attorney, ready for practice
whenever he gets his plans complete
for making the change from one occu-
patton to the other. Mr.. Comstock
does not know how long it will be be-
fore he will begin active practice, but
when he does it is likely to be in West
Union. If he puts into the practice of
law the same efficiency he has in his
work as reporter, his success is a fore
gone conclusion. He has many warm
friends here and ali over the district
Who will wish for him abundant pro
fessional success. -WsnI,tU tUnion Argo.

The Meredith Harding Debate.

Quite q number from this locality
went to New Hampton on Tuesday to
hear the two candidates for Governor,
Meredith and Harding, who were sched-
uled to make.addresses at New Hamp-
tons Civic Day Celebration which
brought out a crowd vsriously estimated
at between three and FIVE thousand.
Meredith led with so minutes talk,
Harding followed with 45 minutes, and
Meredith had Is minutes in which to
reply.
Personally, we 6oubt the value of
such affairs, as the heat of debate sim
ply lines up the partisans of the con-
tenders, but we feel that on the whole
Mr.. Meredith, although plain business
man and unaccustomed to public speak
ing, had the better of his opponent
throughout in their discussions of the
liquor and and road issues. At the
close of the debate, Mr.. Meredith
offered to give his opponent another 80
minutes if he could have the same
amount of time, but Mr.. Harding had
got enough and descended from the
platform. Mr.. Meredith has fine per-
sonality and gives the impression of
being vigorous business man, perfect
ly fearless and tremendously in earn
est, while mis- opponent is an experienced
public speaker who knows all the tricks
of debate, making very plausible
talk without definitely committing him
self, and with the oleaginous smile of
the professional politician who is more
interested in gaining votes than in
upholding principle.

The Decorah journal gives the fol-
lowing account of the ACCIDENT: John

which was in the process of erection,
at Lawler.
Mr.. Mcnamara stood at the top of q

and the board tipped up. Mr.. McNa-
mara was thrown of, and as he fell,
he screamed for help. He struck q
cellar door, which broke and he fell
through into the basement, striking on

ate attention, and it was found that
besides external bruises, he was hurt
internally. The accident happened be-
tween two and three o'clock Saturday

ening."
