Gone East.

Gone East. es
re- Two of our enterprising mer-
chants, Messrs. HELLMAN and BowLEY,
determined TO be early in the field, have
already gone East to purchase goods,
and will doubtless, before long, open
the fall mercantile campaign in this viii
lage with large stocks of well selected
goods. Most Of our other merchants
will soon follow them, and the indications
are that as large an amount of goods will
be brought into this place this fall, as
there was last spring. There were many
predictions that not half the goods pur
chased by our merchants last spring
would be sold, but the facts are that not
only those, but many other additional
purchases were disposed of. showing
the excellence Of independence as bus
mess point. We would wager dime or
two, that not another village in northern
Iowa. approximating our own in popula-
ton. has exceeded independence this
year in the amount of trade done. This
year, more than any other, has given
our people confidence in the healthy vi.
tality, and eventual progress. of Indepen-
dence.

Quasqueton improvements.

re- We are glad in being enabled to
announce that the fine hall and block OF
stores, that have for nearly a year been
standing in an unfinished state in our
neighboring village Of Quasqueton, is
now in a fair way Of being finished.
The block of buildings is 1913 feet in
length, and GO feet in depth, two stories

in length and 40 in width. being intend

is divided into FIVE stores, each go by 60
feet, in the clear. Mr.. j. NJ. BExTHALL
is now the owner of three of the stores,
and Mr.. D. S. DAVIS Of the remainder,
and both gentlemen are actively engaged
in pushing forward their respective por-
tons of the block to completion. A
considerable force is nowiat work, and
but short time will elapse before the
building will be enclosed. This improve

To Candidates.

E
H We notice that it has become
quite fashionable for candidates for NOM
nation for local offices. TO announce them
selves, or have their friends announce
their names, through the columns of
their county newspapers. Most of our
neighboring contemporaries contain list
of such announcements, and we certainly
think the plan good one. First, because
the people are always curious to know
who are likely to be brought forward in
political contests, and this is the best
method of gaining the information. Sec
ondly, itmakes the contest more open
one, interfering largely with underhand
movements. Thirdly. it enables electors
to inquire into the character and capabil-
tiles Of the contestants for the nomina-
tons, and delegates will come to the con-
ventions better prepared to cast their
ballots. Lastly. and probably not the
least important consideration to our mind,
is the fact that it puts money in the pock-
ct of the printer, for it is likewise fash
ionable in such cases, as it is also be-
coming when marriage notices are sent,
for the party interested to enclose, with
the notice, gold. silver or paper dollar,
whichever is the most convenient. Bear
ing the last point in mind, we invite the
friends of the aspirants for official honors
to send in their announcements.

"We are not in the habit of endorsing
patent medicines unless we have indubit-
able proofs of their efficacy. In view Of
the multiplicity Of quack nostrums with
which the country is continually flooded,
it becomes oftener the duty Of the journ-
alist to warn the public against imposi-
ton than to commend medicines and
remedies that possess merit i; but when a
medicine earns for itself a reputation, and
becomes an absolute necessity in every
family where there is disease, and when
those who use it never afterwards dis
pense with it when they are in need Of
a remedy for pain and disease, it then be-
comes the duty of the journalist to make
such medicine or remedy as widely
known as possible. Our attention has
frequently been called, as well by those
who use the medicine as those who sell it,
to the unexampled success Of Bakers
Pain Panacea. which has gained pop
ularity and meets with sale unequalled
by any medicine that has ever been sold
in this country. "-Mdrsh0H ZHin0isan.

Lecture.
rE On FRIDAY Evening last. an ex-

EE On Friday Evening last an ex-
cellent lecture was delivered ut the Court
House in this place, by the Rev. WIN. l..
HUNTER, of Rhode Island, to a large au-
dience Of ladies' and gentlemen. The
lecturers theme was :" MORAL COURAGE"
and the importance Of a cultivation of
moral principle was enforced by illus
tration and argument in style and man.
ner' forcible, effective and pleasing. The
lack Of principle SO evident in political
contests, and throughout the ramifca-
tons of business, was spoken Of and dep
recated in the strongest terms. The diff
ficulties against which men have been
compelled to battle, in a conscientious
pursuit Of truth, were also portrayed,
and a rebuke given to those who exhibit
the bigot's zeal, arrogating to them
selves the sole possession of Truth, and
warning relentlessly and intolerantly
against those who deny their claim. The
working men, the benefactors, the honor
ed, of the world, were those who battled
against the popular current, otthose who
went with it. He gave instances, and
asserted the futility Of all efforts for the
suppression of the voice of one fired with
the truth. Not all the power Of Rome
could stop the speech Of LUTHER. 1t
was vain, then, as well as wrong, to per-
secute men for opinions sincerely and
conscientiously adopted, and we had no
right to assert those opinions wrong sim
ply because they confronted those popu-
larry entertained. We ought rather to
honor the man who boldly. uniformly,
aud 'uncompromisingly advocated what
ever hisjudgment, enlightened by exam
ination, conceived to be the truth. The
lecturer impressed upon young men, in
particular, the Importance Of basing their
actions upon principle, assuring them
that however it may seem to initiate
against temporal success for time, they
would assuredly reap a reward from il
eventually. as well from the good opin-
ion, respect and confidence Of others, as
from their own consciences. He urged
them also to aim high. and follow up
whatever they undertook with energy,
undiscouraged by difficulties, trulhfully
observing that such course is sure to
command success at last. The lecturer
enforced each point by illustrations and
comparisons, drawn from history, an
cient and modern, and from the domain
of nature. His sentences were short,
and lerse. his language graphic and elo-
quent. and his delivery, though lacking
animation, clear and distinct. Alto
gether we think that the lecture was an
admirable one. rejecting much credit
upon Mr.. HUNTER. who is quite a young
man. sf4. III r,4 esfs lisa 81
