Mr. and Mrs. John J. Hughes took the train Monday evening for Fremont, Nebraska, their future home. They have lived for many years in this community, and have a host of warm personal friends and relatives, who hold them in high esteem, and regret very much their departure. Mr. Hughes is a fine mechanic, a reliable contractor and builder, has but few equals, and is a square dealing, honorable, upright gentleman. This locality, and in fact Iowa at large, appears to be at a stand still, but little building being done, so Mr. H. concluded to make the change. We lose and Fremont gains a most estimable citizen.
