ONLY A FEW LOTS LEFT
---
SUNNYSIDE IS SETTLEMENT
---
Lots Go Like the Proverbial Hot
Cakes--Many Pleased Purchasers.

About twenty lots left out of 146 tells the story of the great Sunnyside addition lot sale. After a period of systematic and energetic advertising the lot sale opened yesterday morning at 12 a. m. and within an hour ninety-two of the lots were sold. These of course were taken by people who had been watching the lots until the appointed time. Many women were on the lots and these the managers cared for by sending carriages to take them home after the sale was arranged for.
Yesterday at 10 o'clock a band concert was given on the grounds and a great many people attended it and witnessed the giving away of a beautiful lot to Clark B. Marshall, a son of Mrs. Lizzie Marshall, and the proprietor of the pop corn stand at Shrader's corner.

Remembered Her Nicely.

Clark Marshall, the lad who was the lucky winner of the free lot in Sunnyside, very nicely remembered little Gertrude Greer, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. A. M. Greer. Gertrude was chosen to select the numbers Thursday and picked from the hat the one which gave the lot away. In token of his appreciation young Marshall sent the little girl a five dollar gold piece.

UNCLE SAM TO
CONTRACT ANEW
---
A new contract must be awarded by Uncle Sam, to someone who is ambitious to carry the mails to and from Iowa City.
As noted herein some time ago, Clark Marshall threw up the contract inasmuch as the $800 a year stipend began to look mighty small when he saw the number of trips his auto-truck had to take between the post-office and the stations: and the number of extra men he had to hire, plus further the number of calls he couldn't answer because of the U. S. post which made its demands first.
Accordingly, a new letting will be pulled off on April 24.
At the first bidding, this year, some contractors asked as high as $3,000. Uncle Sam will not have to pay that amount, doubtless, but the job is believed to be worth from $1,200 upwards, easily.
Clark has done splendid work, but he will be missed.

...
Master Clark Marshall, the newspaper carrier, hurt in the Press job rooms, is doing nicely. His hand was cut and torn, but it developed that no bones were broken.
