Pork Packing.

We shall also in connection with the above
continue the packing business. as heretofore. and
cut all lots offered OF 100 hogs and upwards. and
make cash advances, if desired. This, with the
facilities we have for slausttering. will enable
persons to drive here with safety, as they can
either sell or pack.
Our prices will be as low as at any similar
establishment on the Mississippi river and the
same as last season, anL no extra charge will be
made at any time for adj. ance in salt or barrels;
but our list of prices will be rigidIy adhered to.
Our stock of Barrels and Salt is large. and
amply sufficient to meet the demand. We have
also added to the house Steam Boiler and Tubs
for steaning out the Lard from the otfal, which
is usually thrown away and is an 1tire loss to
the owner, but which we shall render for his ben
eft.
Having experienced help and good house, we
have no hesitation in saying we'art prepared to
do justice to any lots entrusted to us, and that
persons who have hogs will find Bloomington a
good point to drive to for packing i,r selling
We will pay premium Of ten dol lars Tor the
heaviest hog delivered at our Penthouse the
coming Winter.

Pork Packing and Strengthening
BLOOMINGTON, IOWA.

WE are now building large and convenient
w SLAUGHTER HOUSE at Bloomington,
and shall have it completed and ready to receive
hogs on the first of November. Every convent
ence and Improvement will be introduced, and
experienced help employed. We shall also have
attached thereto a number of Pens Tor the ac-
commodaton Of persons driving here, ard hogs
once in the yard will be taken care Of, fed if
necessary. slaughtered and delivered at any Pork
House, in Bloomington, free of charge.
The ADVANTAGES Of driving hogs are obvious TO
all. as it is done at much less expense, the pork
cuts to better advantage, ard with much less
risk, and will always command better price.
We pledge ourselves that all hogs driven TO us
shall be as well and fairly handled at any poiot
on the river and to the entire satisfaction of all
persons driving, and without delay, as we can
kill and hang 500 per dav.

'But really, did the old gentleman ever
think Of marrying?" inquired James.
"Oh, yes; he had =. sweetheart once;
did he ever tell you about it?" and Ellen
burst into fit Of laughter. 4 can never
help laughing when think ofuncle Johns

friend Kate Dudley-whom you have
heard me. mention. She was a merry,
rogueish creature, as Hates always are
We became acquainted at school, and she
went home with me to spend vacation.
My cousin Morris, my uncle's namesake,
had just graduated. and came at the same
time to spend few weeks and get into
my uncle's good graces. Well, a. fate
would have it, my uncle John Morris and
my cousin John Morris both fell in love
with my sweet friend. Uncle Johns pas
sion was perfect miracle; for he had al
ways declared that no woman should ever
him; and as for the sentiment Of love,
think he was perfectly innoscent Of ever
cherishing it; but he took wonderful
fancy to Kate She would talk and laugh
with him, and make him talk and laugh
with her. She would walk and ride with
him and, admire his iavorite horse-praise
his tastei in his house and garden. which
no one else could praise-and all with an
air Of such perfect artlessness and good
nature as completely entranced Uncle
John, and he declar ed before she had been
with US week, that she was the only
woman he ever saw without deceit; he
could understand her.
We'll, in the mean time Cousin. John
and Kate were talking real loveato each

70 establish himself in business. Kate
was rich in expedients. She proposed 10
carry cn.the joke with Uncle John, while
her lover was, in the mean time, to accom-
plish:his object. Kate acted her part ad-
mirably; the old gentleman was in exsta-
cies, and would then have been ready to
give away half Of his property, and bless
1t least half the women. He readily set.
