From the LeMars Sentinel, Thursday, February 8, 1894
     Akron (From the Register)
--We are called upon this week to
chronicle the death of Dr. Jenkins which took place at his home south of
Westfield, on Monday, Jan. 29 (error--Jan. 30).  The funeral takes place
today at the Methodist church, Rev. Wasser preaches the funeral sermon.
The services are under the auspices of the Masonic lodge of this place.
A wife and daughter are left to mourn a devoted husband and father.

D. Bradley and family moved Wednesday to LeMars where they will make their
home in the future.

E. J. Bradley has sold out his interest in the Akron Roller Mills to Lawyer
Allen, who becomes owner of half interest.

Chas. Allen and Eli Stortz, of Hawarden, with about a dozen others passed
through Akron Wednesday on a grand wolf hunt.  They had about twenty hounds
with them and were bound for the Missouri bottoms near Elk Point where a
pack of about a dozen wolves are at large.

While in LeMars this week we were shown the Iowa Republican banner which was
presented to this county for having made the greatest Republican gains.  Out
of 99 counties Plymouth takes the lead in this particular.  They Republicans
of this county must have done some hard and effective work last fall.

O'LEARY:  (Special Correspondence)

O'Leary is booming these days:  our streets are lined with teams every day.
People are finding out that O'Leary is the cheapest place in Plymouth county
to buy dry goods and groceries.

The singing school conducted by Prof. B. H. Cornish has been first class and
improved our home talent and will conclude next Friday night, Feb. 9, by
giving a concert, the proceeds to go toward getting a new church bell for
the Presbyterian church.  Let every one come out.

Thomas Eyers is rejoicing over a new boy, Jan. 31.
