Garden Grove, Iowa

LOCAL.

Services at both churches Sunday morning and evening.

Go to S. E. WILSON's new Barber Shop west of Shaw House.

Mrs. W. T. WATERS is quite a sufferer. She doesn't seem to get much better.

AMOS loans money on good real estate security at 6, 6 1/2, and 7. Long time.

Mrs. Geo. W. SHAW was quite sick last week, but we are glad to learn she is
convalescent.

Regular meeting Garden Grove Div. 5, U. R. K. P. to-night (Thursday.) A full
attendance desired.

The promised crop of blackberries don't seem to materialize as expected.
There are some but the yield is not as good as expected.

The K. P. lodge expect to enjoy an ice cream social on J. R. WHITE's lawn
to-morrow evening. We hope the weather will be propitious.

The Republican state central committee have opened headquarters at Room 417,
Equitable Clock, Des Moines, where they will be glad to meet members of the
party at any time.

John E. VAIL and Dr. M. WEMPLE have formed a partnership in the real estate
business. They will make a good team as they are both well posted in the lands
both in this and other states.

The farmers are getting nearly through with their harvest. There was a
splendid lot of hay went in rick and barn. The grass was fully matured and finer
harvest weather was never known. Hay will demand a good price owing to
scarcity at other places.

We are in receipt of the usual complementary press ticket issued by the Wayne
Co. Fair Association. The fair will be held Sept. 11 to 15 inclusive. The
Wayne Co. Fair enjoys the reputation of being one of the best fairs in the
state and judging from the splendid advertising matter sent us, it will be up to
the standard this year.

Hay is quoted at $8 per ton. That is pretty good for the time of the year,
and in view of the fact that we have a good crop. The cause is the hay famine
in England and France. We believe the first cargo of hay that was ever
shipped across the Atlantic was that shipped about two weeks ago from this country
to England.

The festive potato bug has been getting in his work the past ten days, and he
has left the potato and cabbage patches somewhat riddled. The bugs seem to
be traveling from the west toward the east. All who would rive them out of
their patch want to commence on the west and drive them eastward; it is said that
they will not return.

A. J. HANES has been appointed postmaster at Garden Grove as announced in
last week's daily papers. At this writing he has received no official notice of
appointment, but probably will in a few days. Mr. HANES is an active Democrat
and no member of his party can complain of the appointment. Besides, and
what is most essential, he will without doubt make us a good postmaster, as he is
pleasant, genial and accommodating, and will use all diligence and care in
the conduct of the office. The Express extends congratulations.
