Leon Reporter
October l9, l893

DR. A. BROWN will give lessons on the organ
and piano at very reasonable
terms.

The ten year old son of JACOB ARNEY, north of
Leon, had an arm broken
yesterday, by the sweep of a well striking
him. The fracture was
reduced by DR. A. BROWN.

Smoke 5 cent cyclones at E.V. MOAD's.

BORN--To MR. and MRS. A.J. ALLEN, on Monday
morning, Oct. l6, l893, a
daughter.

It is said that a pair of Meek's blankets
have never been known to wear
less than ten years and from that to
twenty.**

The highest market price paid in cash for all
kinds of grain by the
wagon or car load. HALL & CO.

MOR SANKEY and wife have returned from
Decatur and are living in
SANKEY's property on North Church Street,
Opposite the school house.

We are under obligations to ED SHARP for a
fine mess of roasting ears,
received yesterday from his garden. It is
rather late for roasting
ears, but they tasted mighty good.

DRESS MAKING--I will do all kinds of
dressmaking at reasonable prices,
at IDA SMITH's Millinery Store. MRS. J.W.
HONNOLD.

The household goods of JOHN SMITH, who
skipped out from here several
months ago, which were attached by Gardner
Bros. and W.L. Barry, at
Bedford, were sold by Deputy Sanger Tuesday
morning, being bid in by
Gardner Bros. and Barry.

FRANK BLACK was quite badly burned on his
hands, arms and face last week
by a partial explosion of a gasoline stove,
the gas having been turned
on too long by another party not
understanding it, before lighting. Dr.
Sherman reports him as getting along all
right now.--LAMONI PATRIOT.

A gay nutting party composed of Mesdames
HOFFHINES, CLARK, HALL, ARNOLD,
MAYER and HAWKINS spent a pleasant day in the
woods Monday and secured a
plentiful supply of nuts.

When you put up the stove look to it that
there is no open pipe hole in
the room below, or the one above, out of
which the sparks may fly upon
the floor and set fire to your house. This
is more important than the
conventional ranting, swearing act, resulting
from illfitting stove-pipe
joints.

In company with her brother, who is here
visiting her from West
Virginia, MRS. REBECCA CONKLE last Sunday
visited our cemetery where her
husband is buried, and discovered that some
vile creature, too low to
serve the name of man had stolen the iron
chain (can't read the
rest-newspaper torn.)

MIKE KIRWIN came home last Thursday morning
from New York City with J.
HOFFHINES pacer, Blue Sign, who was injured
some time ago in a collision
on the track. His injured foot has been
doing nicely and he had almost
recovered from the injury. He is now in
pasture, but will be all right
for next year.

C.W. HOFFMAN and JUDGE HARVEY went to Des
Moines Tuesday, to appear as
attorneys for HARVEY HUKILL, the young man
charged with burglarizing the
Grand River Post Office some time ago, who
will be tried this week in
the United States Court. Deputy Sheriff
SANGER was also called as a
witness in the case.

Parents should not think their duty is done
when they hustle off their
children to school, but should visit the
school, occasionally and
encourage the teachers and children by
showing them that they feel an
interest in the matter. It will cost you
nothing and encourage the
schools wonderfully. Take a pride in the
schools.

F.B. NIECE will open a lunch room in MRS.
WARNER's building, one door
south of the cigar factory, about the first
of the week.

**A local in last week's paper stated that
Meek's blankets had never
been known to wear less than two years and
from that to fourteen. It
should have read not less than ten and from
that to twenty years. Sold
by Young & Thompson.

Divine services will be held in the school
house at Crown on each
evening of next week, beginning Monday at
7:30 p.m. Rev. Gurley, of
Leon, conducts the services. The presence,
devout attention and
cooperation of the people in the community
are solicited.

MAJOR YOUNG has been allowed a pension under
the old law of $l5 per
month. He was a faithful soldier and
deserving. This however, is not
the reason that he is using a crutch the last
day or two, it is because
of a slight accident resulting in straining
the muscles of the calf of
his leg.--GARDEN GROVE EXPRESS.

Yesterday morning, J.H. VANHORN, living on
South Main Street, started
from his house to the barn to do some chores,
and while going down a
slight incline he stopped on a stone or
something and fell, breaking his
left leg just above the ankle. As he is
getting well along in years,
the accident will confine him to the house
for some time.

CHARLEY SHREWSBURY did not have the best of
luck with his running horses
at St. Louis this summer. PAT DOLAN broke
down in the first race he
started in this season and was sold at St.
Louis. He brought Ambush, a
two-year-old home with him last Monday, and
Carter B. 2nd, a
five-year-old mare was left to finish the
races.
CLARK BECK has had phenomenal success with
his two colts, Coroner and
Doubtful, and is supposed to have made a
barrel of money.
