Poppy Wins Favor

The poppy seems fated to go
down into history as the memorial
flower of the American Legion" 1t
is the common scarlet variety of
that flower growing so freely in
waste places that won the regard of
the men overseas, for bloomed on
about them, and often the flower
was the only beautiful thing the
soldiers saw for days upon days.
The poppy is one of the oldest
flowers in the worlds literature,
and has been sung in verse and
mentioned in holy books by all
races. The Oriental peoples are of
orange-crimson with black center
and large seed bags, which burst
and scatter the seeds in all direct
ions. Other famous varieties in
clude the slender Iceland poppy,
the yellow California variety and
the big double flowers. None of
them has any perfume, but depend
upon their beauty of form and
color to attract and hold the senses.

EARLY DAYS OF
AUDUBON COUNTY

In 1856 Audubon county had a
population of 2S3; in 1850 it had
454; in 1870 its population was
1870; in 1880, it had increased to
7,44S and in 1855 to 1O,S25.
The first new>pa per published in
Audubon county was founded by
John c. Brown and j j. Van
Houghton in 1860. 1t was pub
l,shed at Audubon City and called
the audubon County Pioneer"
1t was democratic in politics.
There is no file in existence and
but little is known of its history.
When the Civil war broke out the
paper was sold to Frank whitney
and moved to Lewis, Cass county.
Brown enlisted in 1861, was an
officer in Company | of the first
Iowa volunteers and was killed.
Van Houghton also served in the
army, being captain of the Fourth
Iowa Infantry. He returned after
the war and died in 1883.
The next newspaper was found
ed by leading democrats who
formed stock company for the
purpose. 1t was known as the
Audubon County Sentinel" 1t
first appeared in the winter of
1870 n. The company imported
manager, r. LespenasSe, who
they soon found did not fill the
bill and the editorship was trans
fefred TO j. P. Lair
Later MIR. Lespenasse purchased
the plant. In 1873 it came in the
possession of ID. Nj. Harris who
changed its name to the "Audubon
County Defender" The following
year he sold it to Z. III. kimball.
In 1877 it was sold to j. A. Halleck
and A. l.. Campbell. 1t then
passed into the hands of NIilliman
and Crane and from them to r. w.
Griggs, then to Bert Simmons who
let it go back to Dick Griggs who
in 1883 removed it to Kansas.
In 1876 Mr.. Lespenasse again
started paper called THE Senti-
mel" taking up the volume number
OF the old paper by that name, but
it survived only a year.
In 1878 H. P. Albert began
printing paper in Hamlin taking
the name of Audubon County
Sentinel The following year it
was taken to Extra and in 1879 to
Audubon In 1884 it was sold to
the Advocate.

its first number January LIST, 1879.

Within the first year partner,

after, the owner Of the plant, Seth

possession. Mr. Paine got out

which contained a write-up of the
county and especially of Audubon
He sold 1900 of these papers at
10 cents each. They we're sent to
all parts of the east and many were
sent to Europe. The following
year l3l cars were landed in Audu- 4
bon containing freight for emigrants
by reason of that issue.
In 1882 Mr.. Paine sold the paper
to Il. M. Carpenter who published
it until 1888 when it passed into
the hands of Crane & Crane. Soon
after V. B. Crane sold his interest
to F. ID. Allen.
The Audubon County Republi-
can was founded by Cousins and
Foster in 1886, the latter soon
selling his interest to w. H. Nc
