kaloosa during the State Fair was
tolerably well attended. The COM
mittee reported in favor Of the Des
Moines as the next place for holding
the Convention on the 18th of Janu-
airy.
One Of the Resolutions of the Con-
vention reads as follows:
Resolved, That the dignity of the
editorial profession requires that we
maintain towards each other at all
tunes, courteous aud gsntlcmanly
bearing.
Daniels, Of the Upton advertiser,
thus mourns over his defeat
We, the editor, are the most un-
popular man in the county as shown
by the votes, although We received,
on the FIRST ballot, all but three votes
in the County Convention. 1t is
dangerous tor man, even a Repub-
lican, to speak in favor of free schools
temperance and good order. Per-
haps we shant speak our honest SEN
timents hereafter. Our readers will
see in due time.
"lowA STATE ALMANACAND REG
lister. Since undertaking the COM
pilation Of the above work, Messrs.
Eagal and Sylvester have received
from all quarters of the State the
most encouraging expressions Of ap-
proval. There seems to be but one
opinion which is. that the " Alma
nae and Register" is just the thing
the people want.
At the same time, the labor Of its
compilation is much greater than an
tic'pated, and heightened by the sb-
solute necessity OF incorporating in
the first issue of this State Annual, a
larger amount of statistical informa--
ton than originally contemplated.
In view of this fact, we have been
, ,cnr"lled tc raise the price of sim
gle co,..es rom twenty-five to fifty
cents, for which double price, how
ever, will be furnished more than
double the amount of matter design
ed at first.
We trust that the press through
out the State will give this notice
publicity. tits favor which,a well
as all others of the kind, and publish
ers will reciprocate in due time.
Address rs before, T. D, Eagal at
Davenport, or r. H. Sylvester at
Iowa City. Terms so cents per sim
gle copy or $40 per hundred-adver.
Using as before, IS per quarter page
$40 per half-$2O per full page

THE DIFFEaENCE.-Speaking of
towns and their population, we may
make mention of the fact that the
vote polled is considered as a fair in
dication Of the number Of people,
Taking the vote as q criterion the
difference between Burlington aud
keokuk may be ascertained. Burling-
ton polIed l,747 votes, and Keokuk
l,456.-Burlington Gazette.
@Well, gentlemen, add Daven-
port to the list, and put down the
vote polled at Two THOUSAND AND
ELEVEN.
A Coon IN Great .eat-
Ter among the Cri,aoline.-A raccoon
with q continuation Of enormous
size, entered the Baptist Church on
Sunday evening last during service,
and Immediately betook hiuself to
devotional attitudes among the Ia
dies dresses. Thereupon sundry
drawings up of ivory ankles, getting
up or the seats, and out of doors,
accompanied with the announcement
of Coon IN Church" presented .
scene for merriment to the boys,
grave humor among the men, and .
magnificent fiutter among the ladies
Finally bis cooneyship was captured
by q daring gentleman, aud was car
