delay in the coming of the new agent

mont and for day or so Jack Van
noy is serving as supply agent while
his son Earle is fixing up his question
naire. 1t seemed quite natural to see
Jack" back again on the old job,
that he held SO long and as the morn
ing train to Oskaloosa was about an
hour and half late on Monday, 1t
gave the boys chance to give him
an informal reception, that was pleas
ing alike to both his friends and to
him. The new agent is expected this
week.
Shipments this week were two cars
of cattle by r. l.. Garrett and two
cars by J. L. Milligan. This could
have been largely increased if the
stock cars could have been secured.
These went to Chicago by the C. b.
& @. r. R. and on the M. & st. L. r.
r. One car of horses were shipped to
Des Moines by C. w. Fellers and one
car of corn to Cedar Rapids and one
car of corn to st. Anster by ]. e. Fen.
