McClelland Cigar Co. goes to Atchi
son, Kansas.
Monday several car loads of fixtures,
cigars and leaf tobacco left l^eon for
Atchinson, Kas. The shipment was
the last of the McClelland Cigar Co.,
who have done such a big business in
Leon during tbe past year and it is an
enterprise which we are very sorrv to
see leave our city. They have given
steady employment the year around to
about twenty workmen and paid good
wages which they received in cash every
Saturday night. Every dollar of money
paid to the men and boys was spent
right here at home. The factory has
made a good reputation as the makers
of the famous "Country Girl"'and many
other brands of cigars now sold in
southern Iowa and northern Missouri.
They hsd no trouble in selling all the
cigars they could make, the trouble be
ing they could not secure enough cigar
makers who would stay in a town as
small as Leon. They finally decided to
move to Atchison, Kas., where Mr.
McClelland has purchased a three story
brick building on the main business
stieet and they will engage more ex
tensively in tile business and in addi
tion to the brands they make will also
do a large jobbing business. Atchison
has secured a new industry of which
they may well be proud and the people
will find the proprietors Messrs. E. B.
McClelland and J. P. Wharton a wel
come addition to their business inter
ests. Ten cigar makers from here went
with them, F. Bobbitt, James Hughes,
Od Edmiston, Will Ray, Fred Kirwin,
Lester Conduit, "Hod" Moore, Otis
McKern, James Artlipp and Med Wilson.
A. D. Wharton also went and will go on
the road selling cigars. They expect to
have several additional salesmen on the
road the first of January, in addition to
those now employed in this capacity.

FOOT BALL GAMES.
Leon 5, Mt. Ayr 0,
A large crowd assembled at Athletic
Park Thanksgiving alternoon to witness
the foot ball game between Mt. Ayr and
Leon, which was called at 3 o'clock, and
it was indeed an exciting contest.
THE REPORTER has no foot ball editor
and we are unable to give an accurate
account ot the game. To us it looked
like twenty-two big husky fellows dress
ed in sweaters and old clothes padded
up until they looked like they were de
formed, one foot ball, an umpire, a ref
eree, two time keepers, two men with a
short clothes line who moved back and
forth along the side line and a bowling
mob of rooters.
One man kicked the ball down the
muddy field, another caught it and
staftea to run, he was tackled and went
down on tbe ground and then the other
twenty-one fellows would fall on top of
him, and stay there until the referee
pounded them with a club and straight
ened out the mass of arms and legs and
then the same thing was done over and
over again.
In tbe first half neither side scored,
but in the second half Leon got the ball
on a fake play and it was carried over
the line for a touchdown which counted
5 for Leon, but they failed to kick goal.
The Mt. Ayr team were good players
but they were too light for Leon and as
soon as the ball was carried out of the
muddy diamond onto the grass, Leon
steadily neared Mt Ayr's goal. The
feature of the game was the splendid
kicking by Prof. C. R. Sutherland, who
is one of the best in the state. McKa
han, the Mt. Ayr full back made some
star runs and Leon's tackles reached
him several times just in the nick of
time to prevent his scoring.
The Leon team put up a splendid
game throughout and clearly outplayed
their opponents. It was hard to tell
which individuals played best as all of
them played for results and not grand
stand applause. Our boys showed we
have tbe material to defeat any foot
ball team in southern Iowa.
The game was entirely free from any
unpleasantness and the Mt. Ayr boys
were certainly gentlemen, and made
many lriends while in our city.
Prof. Axline, of Humeston was ref
eree, and Lew Horner, of Lamoni um
pire, and gave the best of satisfaction
to all.
Leon 11—Garden Grove 0.
The Garden Grove boys came down
Saturday to try conclusions with tbe
Leon High School eleven again, but were
doomed to defeat, as the score was 11 to
0 in favor Leon. Caster and Oney each
scored a touchdown aud Fred Garrett
kicked a goal.
This is tbe second time this year that
Leon has defeated Garden Grove, and
as they also defeated Lamoni, they are
the undisputed champions of Decatur
county. In none of the games have the
Leon boys a Hewed il iiuj oienls to
score.
Auditor-elect James F. Gill, of Garden
Grove jofficiated as umpire and, referee

Shall Leon Have a Free Public LI*
brary?
This question has been agitating the
minds of the good women of Leon for
some weeks past and finally it has taken
tangible form in the way of a rousing
committee meeting held' at the home of
one of their number last Saturday aftet
noon. This meeting was called by Mrs.
A. L. Curry who had been invited by
the committee representing the various
women's clubs and lodges of the town
as their general chairman. A letter was
read from Mrs. H. M. Towner, of Corn
ing, who is a member of the State Li
brary Commission, in which much val
uable intormation as to how to start a
free public library was given. After
hearing this letter and other literature
bearing upon the subject a general dis
cussion was indulged in and the result
was much euthusiam and a unanimous
voice in favor of the project. Where
upon committees were appointed by the
chair for tlie purpose of investigating as
to ways and means, the question of
suitable, centrally located building and
on ground floor if possible, furnishing
the same, lighting and heating etc., and
raising funds for buying books being
the chief items of consideration. One
important matter the ladies quickly
disposed of is the attendance necessary
to make the library available to the
public. They agreed to share that task
among themselves and one lady who
happens to have more leisure than some
agreed to devote all of her time so far as
possible to mastering, and administering
the duties of Librarian, till such time as
the enterprise may become prosperous
enough to hire and pay thie important
factor of the modern library movement.
When it is considered that this time'
may be a long way in the future it is to
be hoped that the generosity of our
women may meet with a like spirit from
the men of the town and that this work
may not be allowed to fail for want of
their support. It will be a great thing
for the whole county if the project suc
ceeds for it is the intention to make it
free to all residents of Decatur county.
Iowa is leading oH in educational lines
and Leon intends to fall in and keep
step with the best towns in the state.
A second meeting of this committee
will De held at Mrs. Curry's home next
Saturday and this will probably be fol
lowed by amass meeting which will be
fully advertised beforehand.
It is expected that the old county
library will be used as a nucleus for the
new, and donations of books and money
will be asked for. Every such donation
will be acknowledged through the col
umns of the press which have kindly
been opened to the furtherance of the
work. These gifts maybe made to a
committee which will soon beiauthorized
to leceive them and will thereupon be
named in these columns.
Following are the names of the var
ious organizations promoting this good
work and the names of the committee
chosen by each:
Women's Relief Corps—Mrs. A. J.

The cape never goes out of style. Has too many friends
It maybe lengthened or shortened a little. Be made a trifle
ulleror smaller. Trimmed plentiful or kept plain but it is
always worn. It's such a comfortable wrap, Unfastened and
thrown back it is the thing for moderate weather. Wrapped
closely about one it's warmer than the jacket. It doesn't
muss the gown and ia easily thrown on and off. Is it any
der that many ladies prefer capes?
