committee for twelve or fourteen years and he made many sacrifices for the
welfare of the party. He is one of the most capable and deserving gentlemen
in Iowa and will, we are sure, as postmaster, give our citizens first class

of Uncle Sam in Emmetsburg during the coming four years.

traveled extensively in the United States and Europe and is familiar with
the municipal needs of cities as well as of smaller towns. He is

hearty congratulations and hopes that all of the members of the council will
cooperate with him in promoting the welfare of our community.

P.G. HOLDEN Sued for $100,000 Damages
We notice that P.G. HOLDEN, well known to many of our citizens, and a couple

damages. The action has been commenced in the district court at Des Moines
by F.W. HICKS, assignee of the Grand View Investment company and the Grand
View Land Irrigation Company. Mr. HOLDEN and his friends are charged with

republican nomination for governor two years ago last June.
