A Few Hints Regarding Public Sales HAVE a good clerk, be sober. [page torn, illegible]
No by bidding or skin game, or you will be the one skinned. Get plenty of bills - no less than 200 - as the second hundred only costs a trifle. The small cards are a splendid medium of advertising. Printers' ink pays. Ten days is long enough to post bills. Employ the best auctioneer you can get, regardless of his price. Employ W. W. Stewart, unless you want him, for if you do he will be on hand rain or shine. Get who you will and I hope you will never regret it. Write, wire or 'phone me at my expense for date. In case I can't be found, call the Vindicator, where my dates are kept. * * * *

NEWS NOTES:
Frank Landreth went Monday to Cass county on business. Mrs. Robert Henderson and daughter, Marie, were Mt. Ayr visitors Tuesday. Miss Julia Fletcher went to Humeston last Thursday, to visit her
grandparents. Mr. and Mrs. Benj. Lorimor and daughter, Maud, are visiting relatives at Diagonal this week. Miss Allie Oldham, of Columbus, Ohio, a cousin of the Stewarts, came with A. R. Stewart, and is a
guest of Tingley relatives. H. E. Breckenridge & Co. shipped two cars of hogs and cattle to St. Joseph, Monday. Mr. Breckenridge went with the stock. In the list of the Sunday school officers of the Methodist
church, found on another page, the names of the librarian, Ila Hinsdill, and of the assistant librarian, Orville Booth, were omitted. Dan E. and Clifford McGugin were at home to spend Christmas with their parents and other relatives, and friends. The Vindicator acknowledges a pleasant call from these two enterprising young men. They are both hustlers and are depending on their own efforts to get on in the world, and are not
afraid to work. They are not the sort who live on "Dad," waiting for someone to offer them a good salary to fill a high toned position in which there is no work. Dan left for Detroit, Wednesday to work until school begins again at Ann Arbor. Clifford will remain until next week, when he will return to his work as a conductor on a street car line in St. Louis.

Percy Josslyn, who has visited the past few days with Anna Law, returned to his home at Indianola, Monday. Remember, the Euterpean Quartette at the Opera House on Saturday, Jan. 3, and Thelma on Monday, January 5. The Paris, Ill., Gazette, says, "'Thelma' played to one of the largest audiences of the season. It was a first-class production. The costumes and scenery were all beautiful." - At the Tingley Opera House Jan. 5, 1903.
NOTE: "Thelma" was Charles W. Chase's dramatization of Marie Correll's novel of the same name, and presented by Aiden Benedict's theatrical company.Ernest Bosworth, who has been clerking in his father's drug store at Madrid, arrived Sunday for a short visit. All those knowing themselves indebted to me will please call and settle by cash or note, as I wish to close my books by January 15. Please give this your immediate attention. ~ GEO. W. RICHEY Mrs. Cal Black and Thos. Black are enjoying a visit with relatives in Illinois. From there they will go to their old home at Winfield, Iowa, for a few days' visit with parents and many friends. They do not expect to return before next week. Quite a surprise was perpetrated on
I. R. Stewart, the superintendent of the M. E. Sunday school, and his family last Sunday. At the close of the Sunday school, W. A. Harvey announced that he has a little matter he wished to speak of. Going forward he, in a few well chosen words, presented the superintendent with a beautiful red letter [leather ?] Bible, to his wife a paid up subscription for one year to the Christian Herald and to their three boys a 300 page book of essays, poems and extracts. The presents were the gifts of the Senior Bible Class. ~ Diagonal Progress. A special from Leon to the Des Moines Daily Capital says that the town of Grand River has for years been infested with a gang of criminals who committed arson, larceny, perjury, illegal sale of liquor and cattle stealing. That life and property had become unsafe and the decent portion of the population had at last risen and secured indictments against several parties for illegal sale of liquor, arson and stealing cattle. The fight now goes to the district court where, it is hoped, all parties may receive justice, which after all may be what the accused are most afraid of. When the board of supervisors met last September to fix the tax levies for the county, they failed to take into consideration the expense that the county will be put to by reason of the new trial granted to Matt Hunter by the supreme court. The tax levy for the general fund was placed at four and six tenth mills, and this levy will bring into the county treasury something like [illegible],000. Out of this fund is paid the salaries of the county officers and all general claims against the county, including court expenses. If the expense of Hunter's trial reaches anything like $3,000, there is a strong probabilty that the general fund will have a shortage. There is not going to be any surplus in this year's fund and the expense of Hunter's trail will make a big hole in the new levy. If the fund is entirely exhausted and the warrants cannot be paid, on being endorsed by the county treasurer, they will draw five per cent interest until paid. ~ Ringgold Record
NOTE: A. Matt Hunter, aged 30 years and a professional gambler, was charged with the murder of Homer Holland in Mount Ayr on November 9, 1901. Hunter was sentenced to life in prison in February of 1902. At the conclusion of the second trial, Hunter was convicted of manslaughter, hence received a lighter sentence. Holland, 23, was well known and a popular intercollegiate athlete. Miss Ina Freeman went to Shannon City, last Thursday, to visit relatives.
Miss Hattie Cosner, of Ellston, came Monday for a visit at the home of Jas. Mooney. TWO COWS FOR SALEFour years old, giving milk, to be fresh in the spring. Inquire at this office. Cash or trade for feed. FOR SALE - Span of matched sorrel colts, 2 and 3 years old, past.
J. H. SHARP Mrs. J. A. Hawthorne and son returned to their home in Clearfield after few days' visit with Tingley relatives. All parties knowing themselves indebted to C. M. Richardson, are requested to call and settle on or before January 15. Remember I am at the Tingley photograph gallery the first three days of each week, and I am prepared to do all kinds of work in my line. Come and get your pictures taken. ~ MRS. J. M. RINARD. The Davis City Lariat issued a souvenir edition last week that was a beauty. It contained thirty-six illustrations of the beautiful scenery in and around Davis City and gave many half tones of the prominent business men. Tinch & Bartruff are publishing a bright, newsy paper and are meeting with success. When the time came for the winter terms of school to commence there were eleven schools that could not be provided with teachers owing to the scarcity of pedagogues. Three of the schools that were left without teachers have since been supplied, but eight schools yet remain teacherless. Three of the schools are in Benton township and the other schools are in the townships of Clinton, Riley and Monroe.

Miss Minnie Spence left, Tuesday, to visit a cousin near Ridgeway, Missouri. E. R. Rice, who has been suffering with rheumatism for several weeks, was in town this week. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Richardson and son Clyde, returned Tuesday from Oskaloosa, where they spent Christmas. This office has lately printed calendars for the Tingley high school and grammar rooms and for the firm of Heyer Bros. & Co. They were beauties, and if you were lucky enough to secure one, you have one of the neatest calendars that has
been issued this year. The Stewarts, with their families to the number of twenty-eight, went to Diagonal, Saturday, to visit J. R. Stewart. Messrs J. R. , W. B., J. T. O., E. M., Charles and Burris Stewart, returned to their several homes. The new ads this week are those of Frank Gray, harness; A. J. Morris, city bakery; W. H McClelland, Tingley's feed store; R. S.

Preaching services at the Christian church Sunday, January 4, 1903, morning and evening. The minister is Rev. Mr. McWilliams, of Des Moines. The assessors will meet at the auditor's office, in Mt. Ayr next Saturday, to agree upon a schedule of values for live stock, grain and other property. On account of the serious illness of J. M. Rinard's mother the Tingley gallery had to be closed this week, but they hope however to have it open next week. T. A. Stevenson reports his 192 business in pedigreed stock better than any previous year. Not only were the sales greater but the prices have been uniformly good. He has sold Chester Whites almost as fast as they were ready for market, and many more of them remained in this and adjoining counties - an unusually large number were sold to farmers about Afton. For years Mr. Stevenson has had a fine business coming from many different states and it is pleasing to note that our own people are waking up to the importance of raising better grade of stock. It does not take more to feed a good animal than a poor one, and they sell more readily and at a better price. It is just as well to keep the best here as to send it abroad. The past week Mr. Stevenson has shipped pigs to Nebraska, Illinois and Dakota. Editor Baughman, of the Ellston Register, broke his press last week, so his paper did not come out at the usual time. He has our sympathy as well as permission to use our press. Printing machinery never gets out of repair except when it is urgently needed. The Vindicator received a call from the Stewart family last Saturday. There were thirteen of them including F. Stewart, the father. They came in single file, with J. R., the oldest son in the lead, followed by the next according to age, Burris, the youngest and the father bringing up the rear. We never had so many men all of one name in the office at one time, and do not expect to again soon. And they are all large men, the average weight of the twelve boys being 172 1/2. Mr. F. Stewart seemed to be the happiest man in town, and with reason, too. There are very few families of twelve children all living when the youngest becomes of age. Fewer still when the twelve are all boys. These twelve young men are all doing well. All either have good positions or are qualifying themselves for better ones. J. T. O. has the best teaching position at present, being grade manager of the Nebraska industrial school. Lou has good positions with some of the best schools - at $1000 to$1200 a year. He aims higher and is now taking an extra course in college. Also, Thomas, a younger brother, is attending the same school. They all seem to have good natural ability and are well liked where ever they go. There is not one of them "grumpy" - all genial - never speak unkindly to each other, all have striven to go to the top of whatever proffession (sic) they have chosen to follow.
Say!Did you know this is the time of the year to get your fur coats? And did you know that Frank Gray is taking orders for the best coat firm in the state? If you did not know it call and see the Harness Man at Tingley, Iowa, and he will tell you all about it. Don't forget the place.

CITY NEWS
Happy New Year. Relatives from Oskaloosa are visiting at the home of C. M. Richardson. R. R. Quick, who is residing with his parents at Unionville, MO, is reported seriously ill. Miss Sarah Archibald returned Tuesday from Lincoln, Nebraska, where she has been visiting friends. Mrs. Robt. Bennie and family are enjoying a visit from her sister, Mrs. Foidel, and two daughters, of St. Joe. Curt Hass and Misses Eleanora Swain and Bessie Lorimor, of Mt. Ayr, spent Christmas with Tingley relatives. Mr. and Mrs. Hackert, of Pella, Iowa, visited with Mr. and Mrs. A. Weeda over Christmas, returning home Wednesday. Mrs. P. V. Wilson and two children, of Shannon City, came Wednesday for a short visit with her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Robert Henderson. A union watch meeting was held at the U. P. church last evening. A merry crowd rung in the new year, and all the bells of the city were in use. We understand E. W. Daniel has purchased a half interest in the bowling alley, and that it will be the intention of the new firm to add new improvements to this popular pleasure resort. A pleasant social was enjoyed at the home of Ellsworth Breckenbridge last evening. A number of young people were in attendance from Tingley, and are loud in their praises of the entertainment and treatment received. The finest meat market display ever seen in this city was the Christmas display at Hauscom & Hand's. These gentlemen understand their business in every particular, and are giving the citizens of Tingley a meat market that would do credit to a city. Mr. and Mrs. W. F. Flowers, of Kirksville, Missouri, arrived Tuesday for a visit with their daughter, Mrs. M. Mariner, and family. They received a message informing them of the serious illness of grandchild, and returned to their home in Missouri today. The relatives of Mr. and Mrs. John Dunsmoor gathered at their home on
Christmas day for a reunion. The guests were Robert Lorimor, Benj Lorimor, H. E. Breckenridge, A. L. Dunsmoor, Mrs. Maggie England and their families. Also Messrs. John Morrison and Walla Christopher.
N. B. German prepared for a large number of guests on Christmas day. All that the market affords was purchased for the feast. There was turkey and dressing, cranberry sauce, cakes of all descriptions and everything nice. But one thing was forgotten, and that may explain for the well-fed appearance of the regular boarders this week. No advertising was distributed telling of the merits of a Christmas dinner at the Merchants hotel, and the guests failed to arrive simply because they knew nothing of the unusual preparations that had been made to accommodate them. There is a moral to this little story and one that is easily
understood, too. If you have anything that the people want, tell them about it through the columns of your home paper.

Dr. A. R. Mulcahy, Editor.

Buchanan is the first of this vicinity to renew for the Vindicator to 1904. May he enjoy the fat of the land for many years to come. Mrs. Ell Ham is quite low.

Also her sister, Mrs. Wise, of Illinois, is at her bedside.

Robert Schaney shipped a car of cattle to Chicago Tuesday. The new ad of Geo. J. Page merit your attention. He has a car of flour and feed - his flour can't be beat.

Mackey visited with a sister in Council Bluffs last week. A nice program was rendered at the Methodist church, Christmas. The house was crowded. The Golden Rule company furnished the music. The literary part of the program was excellently rendered. The two-year-old daughter of Mr. and Mrs. John Ryan rendered her part so exquisitely as to cause favorable excitement. H. W. Rhoades, the opera house manager, turned down a cheap show that desired to rent his hall to fakes, people would soon be afraid to patronize any traveling company for fear it would be a fake too.

Mr. Rhoades' action is commended. The town is judged by the quality of entertainments patronized. Bert Redfield and wife, of Tingley, were guests of Mr. and Mrs. Ed Finnicum the past week. A happy New Year to al the readers of this paper - especially to our friends who are especially interested in this department. Hand in any news you know and use some advertising space.
