Township Club.


~ The gallant host Of Republicans
of Sumner Township have organized
themselves into Republican Club, with
w. b. OGDEN, Esq, for President, j. M.
BRYAN, for Secretary, and G. HIx, Treas
urer. Better still, at their meeting they
collected four dollars, which they have
handed in to the County Club for the
purchase of documents. This is the
right kind of work, and we hope the Re
publicans of other townships will initiate
the good example. 1t is now time to
commence the work of organization and
the distribution of documents. Recol-
lect that this last matter is very i'm
portant one, but requires but little out
lay. A few dollars sent to the county So
ciety will secure the townships all the
documents that will be needed. The
County Society will be constantly pur-
chasing them, and will get them at
the lowest possible cost. All the money
raised in each township will be returned
in speeches, SO that every township will
have the benefit of its own subscription
Let the Republicans take hold of this
matter at once.

County Republican Club.

~ An adjourned meeting of the Club
took place on Saturday afternoon last, a,
the Court House. The attendance was
much less than it should have been, al.
though quite number were present.
The Executive Committee reported sci
Of By Laws, one Of which fixes the reg
ular meetings of the Club on the second
and last Saturdays Of each month. Re.
ports were made by the Executive Com
mittee and Secretary, several new mem
bers admitted, and other business trans
acted. The Club adjourned to the Sec
ond Saturday in June, when it is expect
ed there will be speaking. Every Re-
publican in the county should be enroll
ed in this club, and do his best to give
interest to its meetings.

Personal.

~ At the State Convention we had
the pleasure of meeting quite a number
of our editorial brethren, some of them
old friends. The press of the State is
generally under the control of young
men, yet seems TO be but little behind
in character and ability, that of other
States. Certainly. so far as our observa.
ton goes, no Differentiated or c.eyerer
set of fellows ever mounted the tripod,
anywhere, than those of the fraternity
whom We met at the Convention. JoE
DAVENPORT, Of the Valley Times, CHAR
LEY ALDRICH, of the Hamilton Freeman,
Tom DRuMMoND, Of the Vinton Eagle,
ROGERS, of the Dubuque Times, JEROME,
Of the Iowa City Republican, SANDERS,
Of the Boone County 4Ne,cs. are as good
fellows socially as they are excellent ed
itors professionally. May they wax fat
and grow rich.

This is very distressing complaint, and
gives the patient more su ffering than almost any
other disease in fact, it is combination OF
many complaints in one. The symptoms are
numerous, and are of the nature of almost all
other complaints combined. From this fact
arise the very many cases where this disease is
mistaken for some other, and so Improperly
treated The first symptoms-indiges tion, flat
ulency, loss of appetite, heart burn, headache,
etc, if neglected, almost always awaken some
dormant disease and send the poor sufferer to
premature grave. What you must first do is
cleanse the blood and regulate the bowels do

The Crops.


EI- A recent trip to Iowa City has
enabled us to speak advisedly as to the
condition of the crops throughout this
section of the State. The recent refresh
ing showers have extended widely, and
have had a marvellous effect upon vege-
tation. bringing il forward with great
rapidity. The breadth of land seeded
is much greater than ever before. and as
a general thing, the grain has come up
we'll. Wheat looks finely. as does also
oats and grass. Much of the corn is but
just making its appearance. but gives ex-
cellent promise. We saw many patches
of potatoes in which the vines were five
or six inches high. some of the most for
ward being in our own county, and we
think the crops in Buchanan were quite
as forward as in either Linn or johnson
counties. We feel that the farmers OF
Iowa have nothing. thus far, to complain
Of and have lively hope that the com
ing crop will be all that can be desired.

A Suggestions.

re- There are one or two things with
which We think our town should be pro
yided, that we now lack, and which
might be readily procured. The first is
bell, and the second piece Of cannon.
All know how sweetly the tones Of the
bells sound on quiet Sabbath morning
or evening. how irresis.ibly they draw
the people towards the places of worship.
how fully they awaken the mind to
thoughts Of devotion. There is poetry,
a melody, at such times. in the song Of
the bells, that makes us Involuntary lis
ten, ard soothes and elevates US. Sweet
as the music OF flute would be their
silvery tones ringing out over our broad
prairies. and many happy recollection
OF other days would they call up. Or,
If there is too much sentiment about this,
for some. they can readily conceive oil
practical and material advantages result
ing from the possession Of bell, sufii
cient to warrant them in helping to pro-
cure one. It's summons to labor, to sec
ular meetings, to fires, and other things,
would be great public convenience, and
abundantly repay the expense Of procur
