Mr.. Fuller has been a resident of McGregor
for several months and is pretty we'll acquaint-

not unfamiliar with the Pen. He can make
bow next week TO suit himself, if he deems it
necessary to comply with an old FORM The
public will find the Times without change in
any particular under the new administration,
except that the work heretofore devolving upon
one, will have two to surerintend it and it
must necessarily be better done. Individually,
We are obliged to troops of friends for the kind.

North Iowa, but that no effort will be spared to

Stran9ers.-Our town is favored thus early
with visitors from many portions of the East.
All OF them concede that McGrcgor has more
signs Of life than any place they have stopped
at, and it gratifes us to learn that many Of
them intend to establish themselves in business

Bonnets, Trimmings, Crinolines aud all the

4 Superior Ston.-We called in at the new
store OF Mr.. John Hoey, grocer and liquor mer-
chant, at the foot of Main street, yesterday, and
pronounce it one of the best store buildings in
our city. The building is three stories high,
and admirably adapted to the business. Mr..
Hoey has this superior store well stocked with
goods of as good qualities as can be found in
any other Wholesale house intown. In addition
to the stock of groceries, Mr.. II. has fine lot
of liquors, worthy of particular attention. 1t
is the intent of this gentleman to go into the
recifying business largely. He is now fitting
up a first class a; paratus. capable of rectfying
fifty barrels per day. We commend his house
to the pubic-Norih Vest.

Emigration.-Ihe flight to the West is making
it comes from the M. g. M. Depot is crowded
with passengers. Each steamboat that lands
pours off a stream of human freight and every
indication promises an unprecedented emigra-
ton to Northern Iowa. At this, as we'll as a
the Lower Crossing, moving teams are abund-
ant. This is at least six weeks earlier than the
commencement last year.

Broun.-Look at that Advertisement
Of Browns and then take look at his
store. He has things to sell that we
never dreamed of, and we dare not men,
ton all we saw there least our readers
think we lie under a mistake. If he
hasn't got little blacksmith shops to sell
may we be burnt to a cinder Go and
look at them.

The Last.-We have several articles prepared
for this paper which are crowded out. The last
advice we have to give the public this week is
to keep their flannel on till the weather is
warmer. read the new advertisements, attend
strictly TO business, drink only water, play no
games Of hazard. subscribe for the Iyn.es and
pay up what you may owe this Office. The
"good time" will come very shortly if these
rules are observed.

We visited Mononaon Friday last. The village

did not remain there long enough to take OBJ
