Business Changes since May 8, 1900.


Since the completion of the firm histories up till May 8th, 1900, there have been a few important business changes of which we will make brief mention before closing the publication of the work.


FRY & GRUNDMEIER, hardware, underwent a change the first week in May' when Mr. Grundmeier the junior member of the firm, purchased Mr. Fry's interest. Mr. Grundmeier, now conducts the business on his own responsibility.


CHARLES SCHMIDT, furniture, was succeeded by Philip Ehrenhard about May 25th of the present year.


Mr. Ehrenhard was a resident of Manning during the first three years of the towns existence, having followed the carpenter trade. His recent home was at Fre- mont, Ia.


Mr. Schmidt has formed a partnership with J. P. Arp for the purpose of conduct- ing a contracting business with headquarters at Manning.


Mr. Arp has, recently, returned from Humboldt, where he has been engaged in the lumber business for the past year .


PETER MURRAY, barber shop and bath rooms, sold an interest to John Needles, in March of the present year. The facts have just been brought to the writers notice.

A Parting Word.


We beg the indulgence of the reader a few lines, that we may make a few closing remarks by way of explanation regarding the writing and publication of this work. Although we do not wish to burden our readers with the difficulties that this task has afforded us, still, we deem a few explanatory remarks relative to the work proper and possibly interesting.


When this work was taken under advisement, we had in mind, the publication of a history of the county and state, as well as that of Manning, however a careful esti- mate of the cost and time necessary for the publication of such a work, and the pro_ spects of a subscription sufficient to pay -even - the cost of printing convinced us of the inadvisability of so extensive an undertaking, so the publication of the history of Carroll County and of the State of Iowa were abandoned, although they are in manu. script form.


It has taken two years to complete the publication of this work, and during this time, different printers with different tastes and ideas, have had this work under their supervision, thus, causing some variation in the uniformity of the style.


On page 116, has been explained, our difficulty in obtaining data relative to the business enterprises. The same may be said of that part of the work which preceeds it.


Such errors as will place wrong construction to the sentences, will be noted and corrected under the head of "Corrections". Out of over 80.000 words it can not be expected that there will be no errors occur and which have passed our scrutiny. Sometimes a word or a name has been mis-spelled in the manuscript by the "pieing", of the type writer or the stiking of a wrong key, it has been set thus by the composi- tor and overlooked in the proof reading, and too, it might occur by the falling out of a type or the insertion of a wrong one after the proof has been read. We trust that these accidental errors will be overlooked by our readers and that all of the circum- stances be fully considered before our critics indulge in too severe a criticism.


Before submitting this work to the public, we wish to acknowledge the much needed and highly appreciated assistance rendered us by our friends.


To Ex-Judge Paine. for data relative to the early history of the county; to Sec_ retary of State, Geo. L. Dobson, for plates; and to the Curator of the Historical Society, Chas. H. Aldrich, for cuts and data relative to the early history of the state, we feel very grateful.


To our county officials,- J. P. Laughlin, Philip Lenz, F. H. Sinclair, H. G. A. Brunnier, J. M. Ralph and Ex-County Superintendent, J. J. McMahon, we are greatly indebted for the use of official documents.


To the succeeding proprietors, (Bennett Bros., W. E. Sherlock, and G. W. Laflar) and editors (Charles Coe and Charles H\worth) of the Monitor, we feel greatly in- debted for the use of their files, through which the writer gleaned much of his in- formation.


To all who have so cheerfully assisted us, we extend our most sincere. gratitude, and hope that not only ourselves but our readers may profit by their kindly assistance, the result we now take pleasure in presenting to the public.
