Iowa takes the Banner for big Pump
kins and Squashes. We have heard Of
no competitor for the prize since we sta
ted the dimensions of that Squash that
grew few miles from this place. Its
weight was 1877 pounds. Our Quaker
friends near Salem, Henry county, think
that the largest Pumpkin they raised this
season would weigh 200 pounds. They
had not found any steelyards or scales by
which they could test its specific gravity
when we saw them last

G-The Gazette is still throwing dust
in the eyes of its readers and tries to
convince them that the late glorious wing
triumph of 1910, is owing TO some i'm
aginary frauds practised by the wings
in 1898. The editor has not yet proved
that the wings committed any fraud, then
or at any other time, and what is more,
he can't. But we have proved, and can
furnish more evidence to establish the
fact if it is called for, that the locos prac-
tised fraud, and the only action the
wings had in the matter was to prevent
"a repetition Of this fraud. 1t will be
hard for the astute editor of the Gazette
to convince the intelligent people of To-
wa, that SO vast majority of the People
as have placed Gen. Harrison in the pre-
sidential chair, amounlin to upwards Of
10000, could have been deceived in
the way he points out. He certainly
places very low estimate on the intel
ligence Of the people in supposing it to
be the case. Hear his groans on the oc-
casion. The following is but printing
to other articles full of abuse from this

ORGANS FROM THE GAZETTE.
DEMOCRATS OF Iowa! Be not alarmed
at the result of the Presidential election.
The defeat is but temporary. 1t was &C
complished by means which cannot stand
the test Observation-Disclosures must they
recoil with ,enfold fury upon their inven-
tors. The people throughout the country
will soon be awakened to sense of the
treachery and baseness resorted to by the
federal leaders to deceive and defraud
them. Their schemes of villainy, sprung
upon US on the heel of the election, have
been co-extensive with the Union, and
have every where had their temporary
triumph. But short time will expose
them to the view of the world, and
the federalisls, with all their victories,
will again be blown to atoms. Keep cool.
All will come right. Thousands have
been grossly deceived, who when they
see their error, will return to their old
friends and fight with renewed ardor.-
None have changed-none have been cor
rupted. 1t is deceit and fraud that have,
for moment, overpowerel us. All will
be well again ON three months reflection.
Stand firm by your principles, and let us
organize in time to send up the first re-
buke from the people to the usurpers al
Washington.

TO THE PUBLIC.

NOTICE is hereby given, that the sub
IN scriber, about the first of June last, sold
out his entire interest in the Real Estate
Banking Company of this place, to the balance
of the then Stockholders thereof, and from that
time ceased to be partner of that company.
1t was asserted and confidently believed, at
that time, that this Company had made clear
profit of some 20 or 80 per cent upon the
stock subscribed, and yet the subscriber sold
out his entire interest to the Company, without
one cent of profit. The Company agreeing to
save the subscriber harmless and to pay off all
the liabilities of the Bank, it is hoped that no
one having claim against them. for which the
subscriber may also be liable, will, under these
circumstances, disturb or harrass him, by suits
or otherwise, unless it be found that all just
demands cannot be collected of any of the re-
naming stockholders of the Company.

THE GOLD OF CHARACTER.


The character of Gen. Harrison
like gold, grows brighter the harder it
is rubbed. The more he becomes
known, the better he is liked by the
people. The harder he is rubbed bv
the assaults Of his enemies, the brighter
he shines. His proves TO be a char
acter that will stand the most rigid
scrutiny. He comes out Of the cruel
bic OF examination, when heated seven
fold hotter than ever, unscathed by the
fiery ordeal. Every assault upon him
so far has been triumphantly repealed.
Even many of his political enemies,
have given and still continue to give,
their public admiration of the man,
and acknowledge his important servi-
ces and great worth. And we venture
to say that no man ever received such,
honorable testimony Of worth and ex-
cellence from MS political enemies, as
have been displayed towards General
Harrison. Honorable men, who, al
though they differ with him in politics,
nevertheless break through party shack
les, come forward, and testify to his
great services and worth. When q
man possesses character to draw fortl
such praise and testimonials of excel
lence from his political enemies, il
times like these, when partisan feeling;
consume almost every thing Of al
antagonistical character, we say ht
must be a man truly.-Memphis En-

Mysterious attempt at Suicide.-We
are informed that on Sunday last
Young lady who from her dress and de-
meanor, was evidently OF respectable
~, was observed by little girl walking
towards the end Of Boly's wharf. The
young lady when she had arrived at
the water, without hesitation jumped
over board. The child's screams, on
witnessing this desperate act, attracted
the attention Of two gentlemen, who
threw themselves into the water, and
succeeded in rescuing the infatuated
lady. When brought on shore she
expressed her determination to destroy
herself, and subsequent search dis
covered that she had under her gar
ments girdle with heavy stones sewn
init, no doubt with the intention OF
sinking her body. While the atten-
dants were endeavoring to ascef tain
from her the cause Of her conduct. her
residence and name, two gentlemen
arrived in great haste, and expressed
much Joy at finding her safe. They
declined giving any information respec-
tinr her and after taking the names and
residences Of the gentlemen who hae
rescued her, placed her in carriage
and drove of. No clue could be OBJ
tanned to unravel the mystery.-Batt
