rom the country cheered by the brightness,
IN the day were in he city in numbers.
Rows Of wagons laden with the rich produce

Ike much to witness the shipment of such
quantity of wheat from this point, when

be allowed to leave our port.

q 1t will be seen BY their sdvertise-
4 men, that s. G. Dawson IL Co. have in
creased their facilities for doing business by

ard that hereafter they intend entering

Riliton u what they manufacture them
selves, we are informed By them that they
purchase directly from the eastern manu-.
iacufer', and consequently, country mer-
chants can buy Boots and Shoes from them

Der Of cur Wholesale houses. The prospect
ahead is encouraging, aud we believe our
merchants are fully alive to the importance
Of The field which awails their occupancy.

over the rich and broad surface OF Central
Iowa, whose population, present and pros
