of the death early this (Thursday)

weeks ago, Leslie and his wife were

very ill from the first. His mother,

ron Township came down to take
care of them anJ his brother, Ho
mer, who is now awaiting his dis
charge. from Camp Dodge, came
home on a five-day furlough to take
care of the stock and other chores.
Soon After her arrival Mrs. McMi
cheal became ill and Mrs. Chas.
Stocking of Audubon was called to
the home to care for the patients.
All-were sjowly recovering except
Leslie, who remained very sick^ un
til his death. -He leaves to mourn a
grief-stricken widow and a baby son
father, mother, and one brother be
sides many relatives'and a host 'of
acquaintances, who were proud to
'call Leslie their friend.
He,in-partnership-with his bro
ther had recently bought a farm
about^six miles east of Exira and
had a bright outlook for the future
He was a splendid farmer and man
ager and had been well trained. He
was married two years ago to
Miss Irene Moody and they have
one child, Willis Eldon, less than a
year old.
Leslie is our young grand-neph
«w and we had anticipated much
pleasure in their residence near

COMMERCIAL CLUB
HELD ANNUAL RANDUET
About thirty members of the
Commercial Club of Exira enjoyed
their annual banquet at the Park
Hotel, Tuesday evening. While
the attendance was not as large as
should be, still they were a jolly
3unchv
Many fine improvements have
been made in Exira since the or
ganization of this Club and from
the appearance of things now ma
ny more will mark 1919 as a great
er year for business th^n was 1918.
The business is here an^ it remains
for business men to induce the bus?
iness of the country to remain here
instead of seeing it sent to a mail
order house, whp cares nothing
whether Exira's trade builds up or
not. It is not the mail order hous
es that has" increased the value
our lands from $50 per acre ten
years ago to $200 per acre at pre
sent. Commercial Clubs are to
look after commercial interests of
the country on both sides, for, the
buyer as well as the seller of com
mercial interests.
Mr. J..B. J. Lohner was elected
President for the ensuing year and
[he will make good. -John is always
"up to snuff" and looking after bus
iness.
A Chautauqua' Course is under
consideration.
