CARD OF THANKS
Travelling Too Fast

By some hook or crook the Jour-
nal reporter got ahead of herself
last N-ss- and pushed an item in
the paper which stated that the
Nick Petersen sale which was slated
for Satur day, February 2Sth, had
occurred the Saturday before, ,--told
of the good sized crowd present,
the fabulous prices the goods
brought, etc. Of course it is un-
derstood that a reporter has a per-
feet right to draw on his Or her
Imagination to as great an extent
as the occasion requires, and, know
ing that the sales have all been
drawing large crowds and that
large sums of money have been
realized from each, we naturally
supposed that Nick's would be no
exception so took the liberty to tell
it that way
Well, Friday p. m. our peace of
mind was terribly disturbed when
at least dozen telephone calls
came asking about it. In the
incest way we knew we told each
one who called that we had been
living entirely too fast,--that the
sale would take place at two o'clock
the next day and that they we're
each invited to attend. Then we
waited.
The expected Jolt came when,
about p. m. Nick---well, anyhow,
it cost us a dollar but we got more
than our moneys worth of satisfac-
tion in finding that people take
time--and real soon after receiving
Tito read the Audubon County
Journal. And Nick's sale was a
plumb success. 'Nuf said.

POPULAR COUPLE
MARRIED IN AUDUBON

The wedding Of very popular
Audubon County couple occurred
Tuesday afternoon in Audubon,
when Mr.. Owen Williams and Miss
Lydia Anciaux were united in
marriage.
The bride was one of our finest
young ladies. She is daughter of
Mr.. and Mrs. V. j. Anciaux and
has grown to womanhood in this
community. The groom has also
made his home here for some time
past. Of late he has been employed
at the Anciaux home. His mother
is now residing in Audubon.
They went from here to Audu-
bon on the noon train Tuesday,
and were married Immediately up
on their arrival there, leaving Aud
ubon on the Northwestern for their
new home on a farm near Remsen,
Iowa.
Both young people have many
friends in Extra who extend best
wishes and trust that theirs will be
a life of happiness and prosperity.
Mrs. Ike Markham and children
shipped their household goops to
Sioux City and they left yesterday
for that city to make their home.
Mr.. AgVkham is employed there.

OUR WEATHER EYE
A Worthy Candidate

1t is announced that Mr.. H. J.
Mantz, of Audubon, will be a can
didate for the state senatorship
from the Audubon-G Guthrie Dallas
district this year.
There can be little doubt that
Mr. Mantz is, by rather a wide
margin the strongest candidate that
could be picked from the ranks of
Audubon County republicans for
this important Office. He has rep
resented Audubon County twice in
the Iowa General Assembly and
was, by unanimous election, made
speaker pro tempore of the last
House Of Representatives. Before
entering the General Assembly, he
was, for four years mayor of Audi
bon; and prior to that time, he
held the Office Of county attorney
for two terms.
With it all, his record is clean.
He has been honest in his relations
with his constituents and faithful
in serving their interests. Beyond
this, he has shown himself to be a
man of more than usual ability. It
is probably true that Audubon
County has produced very few
men who have surpassed him in
this respect.
He is one of the men with good
war record, though not soldier.
He was the first county chairman
of the Red Cross and chairman of
the county for the legal advisory
board in the draft period. His
oyalty knew no fear, which is a
point to be kept in mind in this
particular campaign.
Ii honor, fidelity, ability and 10y
atty are to be the republican stand
ards this year, then it seems that
MIR. Mantz's candidacy should not
be opposed,--leas of all by anyone
who has the good OF the republican
party at heart.

PRETTY WEDDING Of
POPULAR COUPLE
Mr.. Carl Hensley and Miss
Edith Hansen Welded
Yesterday at Noon

A pretty little wedding occurred
Wednesday, March Sd, at the home
of Mr.. and Mrs. Pete Hansen, west
of Extra, when their daughter,
Edith, was united in marriage to
Carl Hensley. The affair took
place at high noon, only the nearest
relatives being present. Rev. Law
ton performed the ceremony after
which all partook of a sumptuous
wedding dinner.
MIR. Hensley is son of Mrs.
Minnie Hensley, of Extra, and is
very highly respected by the people
of our community. He has spent
the most of his life here, having
taken charge of the work on the
farm after the tragic death of his
father several years ago. He is a
very steady young man and one
who will be capable of overcoming
the obstacles which may confront
him on life's journey.
The bride is we'll known here also
and has hosts of friends in our city.
To know her is to love her, and
we know that Mr.. Hensley has
chosen wisely his life's companion.
The couple left the same day for
a short honeymoon trip to Omaha
and, after their return, will go to
housekeeping on his mothers farm.
That happiness and success may
attend them as they journey thru
life is the wish of their friends.

The Manning High School girls
met the local High School girls on
Friday evening. Manning showed
some good, clean, snappy plays but
the Manning forwards seemed to
be out of luck in the first half as
the resulting score stood 3 to 10 in
Extras favor.
Mrs. Ben Jensen did some fine
work as referee but the Manning
girls insisted upon having their
coach, Miss Cutler, oficiate during
the second half. Both teams
played with a fine friendly spirit.
Manning's star forward, Ida
Grelck, secured three field baskets
but Kathryn Hansen proved too
fast and accurate in basket shoot
ing, having secured twenty-six out
of the twenty-seven points made
by Extras girls. The lineup:
