Hansen & Fay is the name of a new grocery firm that will open for business in the new Chaplin building, Anamosa, soon. Both members of the firm are recent ex-guards, and being young men ought to make a success of their business. The Colony trade alone would keep a firm from sheriff's sale.

Mrs. Lindley, the beloved mother of Mrs. H.M. Vaughan, wife of the Prison Clerk, died on the morning of the 10th after a long and painful illness. Chaplain Pickworth conducted a brief service on Monday and at 6:45 P.M. the remains were taken to Newton for burial. Mrs. Lindley had been a resident of Newton for many years. Her age was 73 years. Her death is a sad loss to Clerk and Mrs. Vaughan, with whom she had made her home since their marriage.
