proper treatment at this great health
resort.
Mrs. Flora Freeman has gone to
Chicago to purchase new spring goods

she left Audubon shortly after the
holidays.

Gil was held at the town ballast Mon

day did not arrive. However, they
have assurance that the films will
reach here in time to be shown on
Wednesday of next week
A number of carpenters are busy
this week tearing down the large
residence formerly owned by Wilson
Burnside. The property is now own
ed by Mrs. Lois Ashby and as soon
as the weather permits, she will build
a new home which will be equipped
with all of the modern conveniences
and will rank with the best of Audi
bon's splendid homes.
James Law has finally decided to
make his new store room, now in
course of construction, two stories
high. There seems to be quite a de-
mand for more Office rooms and Mr,
Law having been solicited to make
this additional improvement has con-
sented to make the second story fifty
feet in length. This will allow him
plenty of room to build his sky light
in that portion of the building which
will only be one story.

lcember to attend the golden wedding
anniversary of her parents, Mr.. and

Audubonites located at Long Beach
are getting along nicely and enjoying
the best of health.

been visiting in the west since early

left here to visit the exposition at
San Francisco, but having enjoyed
the salubrious climate for a few
months, they concluded to extend
their visit in order to be able to visit
relatives and friends in Washington
and Oregon. They are greatly
pleased with the west but not to the
extent that they have any desire to
give up their residence in good old
Audubon county.
Mr.. and Mrs. Carson Brockway who
are here on visit from Perry, sold
their residence property here yester-
day to Fred Stone. This probably
means that Mr.. Brockway and his
family will continue to make Perry
