days last week with her daughter,

Il. C. Preussner has invested in
a new Ford touring car, having pur-
chased the machine of ]. M Jones &
Sons. Mr.. Preussner has been the
owner of a Ford car for many years,
and has driven his old machine pos
sibly 100000 miles. He says the Ford
will get you there and back every
time.
&C. X. Reading, the contractor, is
doing land-office business at insall-
ing iceless refrigerators. At the pres
ent time he is installing one in the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Forest X. Jones.
Some days ago he installed one for
the local editor of this paper, and we

very much pleased with the results.
Fred H. Munson, who retired as
mayor of the city at a netting of
the council held on Monday evening,
April 4th, was presented with a hand
some gold Eversharp pencil by the
city officials who had labored with
him during the past few years. On
the pencil was engraved Mr.. Munson's
name. City Attorney Leo. F. Tierney,
in few brief, but we'll chosen words,
made the presentation, and in doing
so he assured Mr. Munson. that the
best wishes of all the men with whom
he has worked, go with him as he
retires to private life. Mr.. Munson
responded in feeling manner.
Lloyd Schuler, self confessed mur-
derer Of VIM. G.. Matusch, has not
been brought before the court for
arraignment up to the present time,
but is securely lodged in the county
Jail. He spends the greater part of
his time reading magazines and news
papers, and appears to make the best
OF most precarious situation. His
father was in the city one day last
week and announced that he had Sc
cured two of the ablest attorneys
from Cedar Rapids to defend his son
when he appears for trial. The father,
as well as the son, declare that the
killing was done in self-defense. and
that efforts will be made to have the
charge be manslaughter, rather than
murder in the first degree which is no
doubt what the state will try to show.
Edward Schacherer, of the firm
of Kramer & Schacherer has invested
in new Ford Sedan, and is
putting in his evenings getting ac-
quainted with the animal Mr.. Jones
tells us that Edw. is an apt pupil
and will soon master the art of hand
ling the new car We hope that Mr..
Schacherer will not make the mistake
that no many new automobile owners
make and invest his hard earned cash
in six months course of instruction
in the Manchester School of Auto
Engineering With all due respects
to the head of the school-Mr. H. L.
Rann-we again state that the course
is absolutely no good, and that some
of the most promising students of
the alleged school have turned out
to be complete failures so far as ever
running an automobile successfully is
concerned. Hang on to your money.
Edw., you will need it to buy gasoline.
