Father and Son Operated on at Centerville
Alva , the young son of Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Belvel, of the east part of town, who was taken to the hospital at Centerville last Wednesday suffering from a sudden attack of appendicitis was operated on that evening. The diagnosis of the young man's trouble made by Dr. Huff at this place was found to be correct when the operation was performed, but the Dr informs us however, that during the operation the case was found to be an unusual nature, in that the appendix was not found in the usual location of well regulated appendices, but above and to the right of where it should have been, and also a round hard substance about the size of a hazel nut was found inside the appendix. Mr. J. H. Belvel, the young man's father, who accompanied him to Centerville and remained until after the operation, returned to Centerville last Monday and himself
submitted to an operation for hernia and for the removal of a small tumor from one of his shoulder blades. Both operations were performed by Dr. E. E. Bamford of that city and are reported to have been successful and both patients doing as well as could be expected.

Charles Greenlee, student at Ames, returned home Saturday morning with his father, O. O. Greenlee, who had been at Ames the day before attending the Barr Chester White hog sale and will visit homefolks this week. His vacation at this time is due to the fact that the Farmer's Short Course at the College this
week is being so largely attended that the regular class work of the college had to suspended until it was over. The papers report that the Agricultural College has made arrangements for the reception and care of about 3500 persons who are expected to attend the annual Short Course and Farmer's Week at the
college this week.

Victim of Rail Road Crossing
Last Monday afternoon R. F. Newell, who recently moved here from Baxter, Iowa, and who had contracted for the purchase of the Geo. Clow farm, was struck by the east bound train due here at about 2 o'clock and was instantly killed. He was driving his auto, a Buick, to town to get his two children, who are attending school here and as he approached the crossing at the west side of the railroad yards, near the home of Mr. Smith, a freight train was standing on the side tracks with the caboose nearly on the crossing and Mr. Newell
started up onto the crossing and then backed back and waited a moment and started up again all the time apparently watching the freight train and neglecting to look to the west to see if any train was approaching. The afternoon passenger, known as number 30 was coming in just a little late and was making good time
when Mr. Newell ran his car up onto the truck just in time for the engine to hit his car just about at the drivers seat, throwing it into the ditch and throwing Mr. Newell entirely free from the ditch. He was immediately picked up and taken into the home of Ike Smith and Dr. Bullis was called and hurried to the
place but when he arrived Mr. Newell was dead. We understand this is the second accident of a similar nature that has taken place at this crossing. - Allerton News.

Death of D. D. Shirley
Word was received here this week of the sudden death of D. D. Shirley, a well known former resident of this place, which occurred at Denver, Colo. on the night of January 23, the immediate cause of his death being some form of heart trouble. We learn he was taken sick about 8 o'clock and died about 11 o'clock
the same evening. He was a suffer from asthma for quite a number of years and it was the hope of relief from that trouble that caused him to move several years ago from Allerton, where he had lived for 25 or 30 years, and locate in Denver. He had been residing at Tucson, Arizona, for the past several months, but recently returned to Denver, where he was stricken by the fatal illness. His sudden death came as a great shock to his relatives and friends throughout the country. We understand his body was cremated at Denver and the ashes to be brought to Allerton and interred. He leaves to mourn his loss a daughter, Mrs. Chester Tharp, who resides in Walnut township, in this county; a brother, J. W. Shirley of Princeton, Mo. and three sisters, Misses Rella, Janet and Grace Shirley, of Larkspur, Colo.

Marvin, the three year old son of Mr. and Mrs. Irvin Lacy, of Corydon, died Thursday evening from the effect of an overdose of pills, which the child had taken from a bottle, while its mother was out of the room.

February 8, 1917

Veteran Editor of the Tribune Passes Away
Was Editor of This Paper For 43 Years -A Resident of Wayne County Since 1863 and of the State Since 1842.

Chas. H. Austin for 43 years editor of the Lineville Tribune, passed away at his home on West Hill, Lineville, Iowa, last Sunday morning at 4:30 o'clock, after an illness of several weeks duration, from a complication of diseases incident to advancing years, aged 78 years, 8 months and 6 days. Funeral services were held at the home on Tuesday afternoon, conducted by Rev. A. F. Jarvis, pastor of the M. E. Church, assisted by Rev. H. E. Ryan, pastor of the M. E. Church, South, consisting of the rendering of a few well selected songs, by a select choir, prayer by Rev. Ryan, eulogistic remarks by deceased's old friends and neighbors, J. A. Johnson, E. R. Belvel of this place and Hon. Lewis Miles of Corydon, and a few well chosen words by Rev. Jarvis after which the remains were taken in charge by members of Hiram Abiff Lodge, No. 183, A. F. & A. M. assisted by members of Olive Branch Lodge No. 210 I. O. O. F. of this place of which the deceased was a member and deposited in Evergreen cemetery under the beautiful Masonic ritualistic burial ceremonies to await the resurrection morn. He fell asleep after a long and useful life as "one who wraps the draperies of couch about him and lies down to pleasant dreams." Charles H. Austin, son of C. G. and Harriet (Curtis) Austin, was born at Ravenna, Portage County Ohio, May 28, 1838. At the age of 4 years he removed with his parents to Muscatine, Iowa, where both his parents died of typhus fever on the same day in 1845. After the death of his parents he returned to Portage County, Ohio, where he lived with an uncle until he was 14 years of age, attending the common schools there, after which he again returned to Muscatine. He attended the Muscatine high school until 18 years of age and then commenced learning his trade (printing) in the "Journal" office of that city. In the spring of 1858 he went to Chariton, Iowa, and was engaged as a manager of a paper there owned by the then county treasurer. A year later the office was sold, but Mr. Austin was retained as manager. Six months later, however, he went to Leon, Decatur county, Iowa, and assisted in establishing the first newspaper in that town, the "Leon Pioneer." Returning to Chariton again in 1859 and was married while there, after which he carried on farming for two years. In the spring of 1861 he moved to Chariton again and took charge of a printing office and book bindery belonging to his brother-in-law, A. C. Cameron, who had
enlisted in the army. During the time from then until 1863 he was engaged in farming near Chariton as well as working at the printing trade at odd times. In 1863 a stock company was founded in Wayne county, Iowa with a view of establishing a Republican paper at the county seat, Corydon. A committee being sent to Chariton to purchase material for the paper made arrangements while there for Mr. Austin to come to Corydon and run the mechanical part of the paper, "The Monitor." The late Wm. Hartshorn, being employed as editor. Mr. Austin went to Corydon in the fall of 1863 remained in "The Monitor" for 2 years and was then appointed revenue collector for Wayne County. He also engaged in photography and during his residence in Corydon was for two years county supervisor of Corydon Township. During the next 7 years he resided with his family on a farm ¾ of a mile east of Corydon, but continued as job printer and doing editorial work on the "News" and other newspapers in Corydon, until Messers Miles & LeCompte purchased the Monitor and changed it to the "Republican," when Mr. Austin was employed by them as editor of that paper for a
year. In 1874 he purchased the Lineville Tribune of the Hon. Lewis Miles, since which time he has resided in Lineville and devoted his time almost exclusively to the publication of that paper. He was postmaster at Lineville from 1879 to 1884 and from 1888 to 1892 and again from 1897 to August 1, 1913. He was a member of both the Masonic and Odd Fellow Lodges of this place. On Dec. 24, 1859, he was married to Henrietta Van Voust at Chariton, Iowa, his wife preceding him to the great beyond 10 years ago. To this union were born 7 children - Edward C. of Leadville, Colo., Carl G.. Lineville, Carrie E. Cresap, who died in 1914, M. Eugene of Denver, Colo. Louise M. McCutchen, who died in 1903, Chassie E. Wasson and Ivan W. Austin of Lineville.

M. E. Church South Notes
At Lineville, there will be preaching at the Lineville church next Sunday night. This seems to be a little out of order, but we are trying to adjust our appointments after our break because of the revival meetings. A feature of this service will be a stirring gospel song service with a few special numbers by representatives from several Sunday School classes. The pastor's subject will be "What is the matter with the business leadership of Lineville?" the public and especially the "non church going public" is invited to be present and hear the discussion of this important subject. There will be preaching also each Wednesday night until the close of our Conference Campaign.
At Fairview. There will be preaching next Sunday morning at the Fairview church. Quarterly Meeting. The second Quarterly Meeting for the charge will be held as usual, Saturday afternoon at 2:30. Let all the officers be ready for a report. - H. E. Ryan, Pastor.

Order Sale of County Bonds. Order Sale of $10,000 in Bonds. County Board Issues Bonds in Above Amount to Refund. The board of supervisors at its session last Thursday took up the matter of refunding the indebtedness of Wayne County and figured the best way out of the matter was to issue refunding bonds for the amount of $40,000 to the county at 4¼ per cent interest to refund these warrants. This is a saving to Wayne county in the interest charge and will also furnish the county with money to go on with the good work of making permanent roads and bridges, which they have started. Had the county been unable to refund this
indebtedness, it would have been necessary to stop all road and bridge work for the year and the people would have been loser a good portion of the work which is now started, but unfinished. That the members of the board of supervisors are guarding well the interest of the taxpayers is shown by selling the bonds at the low rate of Interest of 4¼ percent, when the cheapest money it has ever been possible to get on gilt edge
Wayne county land is 5 percent. Other counties in Iowa have paid 4 ½ per cent on refunding bonds. Beside getting the money at this low rate the banking house furnishing the money pays all expenses of the loan, so that the county receives the full $40,000. - Corydon Democrat

Contracts Hogs for Future Delivery
William Lemons, the stock buyer of Lineville has gained quite a reputation as a buyer of stock for future delivery. Last October he contracted for a car of hogs to be delivered to him the first fifteen days of June at 9 cents per pound and for a car to be delivered the first fifteen days of September at 9 cents per pound. Hogs last Monday were worth 11 cents per pound and if they keep on increasing the next few months as they have in the past, Mr. Lemons will realize a neat profit on the investment. - Princeton Telegraph

A wedding occurred at the M. E. parsonage in Lineville last Sunday afternoon, Feb 4, 1917, which was a very quiet, pretty and dainty ceremony.

and has been very popular in the society life of the town. Her life has been very exemplary, as a Christian young lady working in the church and thru out all her associations in the community she has been consistent, loyally devoted to her principles of truth and right.

John Hayden Missing. Ravana Township Farmer Disappeared From Home November 26th and Has Not Been Heard From
Does anyone know of the whereabouts of John Hayden, a farmer whose home is about two miles southeast of Ravanna? The last seen of him by his family we are told was on the last Sunday in November, on which date he disappeared from his residence, after spending the day pleasantly with his family and some neighbors who called in the afternoon for a friendly visit at his home. He was in apparently good health and spirits when last seen and his family can give no reason for his mysterious disappearance and are greatly worried because of it. He formerly lived about nine miles northwest of Lineville, Iowa, but has been living in Ravana and on his southeast of Ravanna, for about three years. Some parties have reported that a short time after he left home he was seen at his old farm in Iowa, and said that he formerly owned the place and just wanted to "look around" He acted rather strangely, but not enough to excite the curiosity of the people at the time. If anyone has seen or heard from him since his disappearance, they would confer a great favor by notifying his family, which consists of a wife, two sons and one daughter and who address is Ravanna, Mo. -

Mudgett, who has been owner and proprietor of the Elk Garage for the past two years sold the large building and stock on the southeast corner of the square last week to Mr. Fred Dailey, a well known young farmer east of town, taking in exchange for it the latter's fine 120-acre farm over in Clinton township, 5 miles east of this place, the exchange of properties to be made as soon as the invoice of the stock of accessories at the Garage can be completed. We have not learned the exact terms of the sale but understand the total amount of both properties exchanged will be in the neighborhood of $25,000. The Elk Garage is one of the largest and most successful businesses of the kind in this section of the country and Mr. Mudgett has been a very successful and popular manager of the large business it enjoyed. Mr. Dailey is a successful young
farmer and business man, and will no doubt be a worthy successor in the business. We understand one of the terms of the sale was that Mr. Mudgett is to remain in the employ of the new firm until next winter. J. I. Bay, that well known real estate man of this place negotiated the trade.

New Monument Firm
Sells Half Interest in Lineville Marble and Granite Works.
Mr. O. O. Greenlee sold a half interest in the Lineville Marble and Granite Works last week to Mr. Clarence Giesseman, the well known painter and decorator of this place. The business for the present at least, will be conducted at its present location, three doors west of the Furniture Store and the name will be changed to that of the Lineville Monument Co., under which title it will be known hereafter. Mr. Giesseman, who is one of the most artistic painters and letterers in this section of the country, has already taken his place in the
partnership business and will have personal charge of the shop and will do the lettering and designing of monuments. Mr. Giesseman has just returned from a trip to Burlington, Iowa, where he has been for some time studying monument designs and lettering, as well as other matters pertaining to the business. Mr.
Giesseman's artistic ability and Mr. Greenlee's hustling and business proclivities, together with the well known honesty and integrity of each, should make this a strong and popular firm, and one in which the people of this section will have every confidence and absolutely know they will always receive fair and honest treatment. We understand they contemplate moving the business to larger quarters in the near future, but just where we have not learned, and also that hereafter all shipment of monuments and supplies will be made in car load lots, which will enable them to sell monuments at a much lower price than could otherwise be done.

To listen to him describe in his charming conversational manner the beauty of the orient, the obelisk's of Egypt, the temples of India, the art of Spain, the Sistine Madonna by Rajheal, the Holy Family by Murrillo, and the
splendors of Italy, is to be delightfully entertained.

Statement
The death of Chas. H. Austin will make no difference, either in the ownership or management of the Tribune. What interest he held in the plant was transferred to the undersigned sometime before his death. The Tribune will continue to be published here by the owner under the same firm names as before, Austin & Austin. While the death of our father may not make any changes in the departments of the paper mentioned above, there is no doubt but what there will be a noticeable difference in the department of which he was so long and largely identified - the editorial part of the paper. We acknowledge our inability to maintain that department up to its past record. All we can promise is to do our best to make the Tribune a clean readable, local newspaper, always keeping in view those ideals to which our father always adhered - to stand ready at all times to advocate and support through the columns of the Tribune every worthy movement that tended toward the betterment of the conditions of Lineville and community, and no one can truthfully say that he ever failed in those particulars. Otherwise the Tribune will be run strictly upon a business basis the same as any other business is conducted. - C. G. Austin

Cold Weather of Pioneer Days
The severe weather of Friday and Sunday, February 2 and 4, brings back very vividly the two worst days and coldest in this part of the state, reaching back over more than 64 years. They were called "blueberry Thursday," and "Cold Friday." They were the last day of 1863 and the first day of 1864. Only quite old people can remember them. We were living in Cainsville and selling goods, lived about four hundred yards from the store. The blizzard of Thursday was so fierce, the snow being driven in blinding sheets, we never opened the store that day. Friday was clear and intensely cold. Dr. Blanchly, living here, had the only thermometer in town. At six o'clock in the morning he said it was 40 degrees below zero and no one disputed it. We had a man, A. B. Cheney, going to Ottumwa, Iowa, for a load of goods. On Thursday near Corydon, Iowa, having his wagon in a large barn, he transferred the load to a log sled and Friday started for Cainsville. There were miles between Corydon and Lineville that had no houses on them. It was like taking one's life in his own hand. He had a strong, fine span of horses and had borrowed a scoop shovel before starting. He had to dig out many times and great piles of snow were there for weeks afterward. He arrived in Cainsville Sunday
about one o'clock and I thought he would surely freeze before we could get the wagon unloaded. He wanted another load and we gave it to him. He made the trip on a log sled and brought the heaviest load ever hauled for me from Ottumwa. It came to nearly $75 at $2 per hundred. Many of the soldier boys belonging to the M. S. M. were on the way home from south Missouri and had frozen faces and ears. Some are living here still. R.
O. Woodward and others, but most have crossed the Great Divide. -J. H. Burrows in the Bethany Clipper
