SHARP.-G. c. Cone in this weeks issue
of the Times puts up an AXE as an indica-
ton, probably, of the sharpness of compe-
tition which he will illustrate hereafter in
the sale of Hardware. Mr. Conc has been
doing steady trade for several months at
his present stand but he has made little
effort to acquire general newspaper bust
ness notoriety. Now however he concludes
that in a new country and at growing
point like this it is necessary for merchants
to place themselves and their stock promi-
nently before the public, and this liberal
Advertisement of half column yearly will
introduce Cones McGrcgor Hardware Store
to something near 5000 western readers of
the Times. We learn that it is his intcn-
ton to place an AXE in the columns Of seve-
raj of our western cotempories and thereby
form an acquaintance with all who are in
the habit of visiting McGregor. He has a
large stock, sells at low prices, and can be
relied on to the very letter, in any state
ment he may make as to the quality of his
stock

table, and is one of the neatest issues it has
ever made. We have been in the habit of
reading the Repository for the past fifteen
years, and know whereof we affirm when
we speak of it as the best of the Magazines
for the domestic circle. 1t is always neat

unexceptionable in its moral tone. The
present number has tinted plate which is
gem of beauty-the Lords Prayer illus

Personal.
We were favored last week with call
from Mr.. BLISS, recently the Editor in Chief
now corresponding or travelling Editor of
the Chicago Leader, one of the handsomest
papers in the west. BLISS remained but a
short time with us but his name represents
sentiment or feeling which is so very
evanescent that he cannot stay long in one
spot. We hope he will make it convenient
to be with us frequently, in the course of
his western perambulations.
ANDY DRIps, Esq, of the Maquoketa
Ercelsior also honored us with a CALL
Drips is one Of the pioneers in North Iowa

WNE.-Mrs. j. S. CASE, of McGregor,
received last week from her kind mother at
the east, present of several bottles Of
pure native wine, made, we believe, on the
old homestead and under the superintend-
ence of the old lady herself
In consequence of the kind regards of
Mrs. Case for ourself and family we had an
opportunity to test the virtue of a bottle of
this wine and in our experience, Every linn
tied it is however, we never tasted thing
so delicious. 1t can only be excelled by
the amiability of the fair donor. Such
cases of wine and of friendly remembrance
of an Editor are warmly appreciated.

of our unselfishness, would never be rich.
If Bro. Cover is the kind of Republican
we are, he will vote for Mr.. Douglas or some
other Democrat for the Presidency. We
have set of clever anti-negro, Bates Re-
publicans over this way Cover, and "words
and grass" suffice to keep them in order !;
We never throw stones till all other RENE

Accept our thanks for the high compli-

and except hereafter such bad guesses at our
politics Armed with Truth in political
warfare, we are not under the necessity Of
using bad language in discussion.

We sec no account or allusion whatever,
in the Des Moines papers, of the Editorial
Association which was held in that city on
the 18th ultimo. The Legislature occupies
all the attention of the Editors of the jour-
nails thereaway and it is possible they for
got that there ever was such man as
Franklin.
In the Cedar Valley Times we find the
following brief reference to it. The ap-
pointment of the writer of this as Treasur-
er, is perfectly safe one-the Association
will run no risk and the Treasurer will
have no money to bother him. Much OBJ
liged however for the honor.

Poem and we sent an Address, but the pre-
sumption is that neither of them were
worth reading. At all events they are not
alluded to in this, the only report We have
seen of the meeting:
The Editorial Association held its Third
Annual Meeting at the Demoine House on
Tuesday afternoon. A large number of
editors were in attendance, and very soci-
al and pleasant time was had. The follow
ing gentlemen were elected officers for the
ensuing year:
John Edwards, President; John Mahin,
Secretary; A. P. Richardson, Treasurer !;
