PROMINENT AUDUBON MER-
CHANT DISPOSES OF STORE

w. G. Wilson, proprietor of the
Wilson Department store sold his
business Monday to Armstrong &
Patterson of Sterling, Colo. In the
deal Mr.. Wilson takes in three quar-
ter sections of land near Sterling.
The people of Audubon and vicin-
ity generally will regret to learn of
Mr.. Wilson's retirement from the
business circles of Audubon. He
has long conducted the business
and rendered excellent service to his
customers. He was one of our
most progressive merchants, al
ways lending helping hand in the
things that had for its purpose the
advancement and betterment of the
community. He was president Of
the Audubon Commercial Club last
year. He had the confidence and
esteem of the business interests of
the town and had the united support
of all in his efforts to make the club
an organization of merit.
The doors were closed Monday at
ternoon when the invoicing of the
stock began and this is still in pro-
gress. The new owners hope to
complete the invoicing task in time
to open the doors to the public by

and raised in this county and has a
host of friends. He does not ex-
pect to run the business himself, but
will probably secure some respon-
sible party who will manage the
business for the firm. Mr.. Arm

DELIGHTFUL BIRTHDAY
SURPRISE PARTY

Mrs. j. F. Baker entertained a
company of young ladies at her
home yesterday afternoon in honor
of her daughter Leona's thirteenth

was in the nature of surprise and
all of the details worked out as
planned. Leona was asked to as
sist her father at the jewelry store
to which she readily consented. She
helped him faithfully until about
three o'clock when they telephoned
from the house that some company
had come to see her. Imagine her
surprise when she rea ched home to
find twelve of her friends costly
seated in the parlor. She was
taken completely by surprise but
soon joined in making her guests
welcome
Games of all kinds were played
and a Victrola furnished music out
on the porch while the little ladies
enjoyed games out on the lawn. She
received a number of nice presents
as tokens OF remembrance of the
happy occasion. At five o'clock
dainty and delicious refreshments
were served by the Misses Olga Bak-
er and Cecilia Foley. At six o'clock
all returned to their homes having
had a most delightful afternoon and
their only regret was that Leona
could not have birthday oftener.
Those present were: Goldie

Alice Viewer, Irene Kness, Leona

AIRSHIP PASSED OVER
AUDUBON YESTERDAY

Quite a number OF people were
interested yesterday afternoon In
the airship that passed over the
city. On investigation we found
that the plane was on its way from
Dedham to Atlantic and the avn
ator was Walter Smith, son OF
Rev. Smith, pastor of the Methodist
church at Dedham.
The young man was teacher in
the air service for the Canadian
government and his machine was a
Canadian two seated Curtiss air
plane. Tuesday afternoon he Wis
tied Leo jerks at his home 10
miles northeast of Audubon who
rode In the plane from Dedham to
his home. Mr.. Smith took his
mother, who is 70 years of age, for
a spin in the air and she reports
that 1t was the greatest experience
of her life. She felt perfectly safe
and had no fear whatever.
Mr.. Smith was greatly interested
In the airplane that Leo jerks is
manufacturing and felt confident he
would be successful. Leo says he
hopes to have the machine complet-
ed in a few weeks and will take to
the air at the earliest possible W.
ment.
While at Dedham fifteen Of the
residents made flights with Mr..
Smith. This certainly was quite a
novelty and of special interest to
the people Of that community.
