Mr. Ewin and family drove over to the home of Capt. Newberry, in Bates county, for a short visit, and Charlie wisely concluded that it would not be right to come so near the Prairie Queen and return without at least dropping down long enough to say “Howdy.” The only trouble about his visits are that they are sofew and far between.—Appleton City Journe | HE LOST HIS MIND. | An lowa Land Buyer's Sad Experience | at Lamar, Me An lowa land seeker by the name of G.

But should any of the fair daughters of that town feel inclined to smile upon our hand- some young friend, we advise them to keep it quiet, that they may save Frank trouble here at home.—Wind- sor Review. Messrs. Carpenter & Shafer of But- ler, were in the city, yesterday after- noon and after looking over the ground decided to locate a creamery and cold storage plant at this place. Mr. D. T. Rogers, their local agent tells us they will begin the erection of a building at once, though the exact location of the plant is not ‘yet known. The company has two loca- tions in view and it is thought the deal for one or the other will be closed be‘ore the week is out. The plant will be well prepared for buy- ing and shipping poultry, fish, game, ete., aside from ths creamery proper. This is a good point for such ari en- terprise and Messrs.
