THE Procession To NIGHT-We beg pardon
in advance for meddling with the arrangement
of the procession tonight, but it may not be
thought of till too late to have it remedied We
would suggest that some kind of order be OBJ
served in the marching. A procession without
order is not worth seeing. tits order that gives
to military parades most of the eclat which at
tends them.
A small number of well disciplined men
make better appearance than horde of strag-
glers. Let it therefore be the endeavor, the
study of every man in the procession tonight,
to contribute TO its success by keeping his prop
er place in the line, and by conforming to the
regulations and obeying the order of the mar
shals and let the officers remember that they
have duties to perform. Let them attend to the
forming of their men in line, and to keep them
in order. Every one likes to see q fine, we'll
ordered procession, but no one will be pleased
to see a gathering without order, arrang cement,
or discipline.

The Bell.


EE- 1t will doubtless be pleasing news
to our town readers to know that the
committee to procure Bell, after much
correspondence with manufacturers, have
at last ordered that much longed for ar
ticle. They think, from the testimony
given them, that the Iron Amalgam
Bells, cast at Cincinnati, taking into con-
sideration both quality and price, are the
best that can be procured. They are far
cheaper than any other kind, and the les
timonals show that they are quite as rich
in tone, and as sonorous in sound, as
either the cast steel or composition bells.
That ordered by the committee will
weigh, with the hangings, 1850 lbs,
and will cost, in Cincinnati, S175.-
While the composition bells cost 33 cts.
per h., and the steel bells 20 cts, the
iron amalgam costs but about 12 cents.
The amalgam bells are warranted for the
same length Of time as the others, and
the committee have but little doubt that
the one ordered will prove acceptable to
the people.

The Fair.

Eg Our farmers certainly have the
material this year for a grand agricultur-
al display, and we hope they will not be
backward in their contributions to the
Fair. They should make it a point to
have each fair better and more attractive
than the preceding one. 1t mainly de-
ponds upon them, and they are the ones
who reap the benefits Of the exhibition
1t was hoped that permanent Fair
Ground would be secured the present
year, ard fencing and buildings provided
A ten years lease has been made by the
executive Committee OF several acres oil
ground close to town, but difficulty in
collecting the money due the Society,
has prevented its preparation for the fair,
and a temporary place must again be
provided. Ample accommodations, how
ever, will be made, and the indications
are, that the exhibition will be one wor-
thy of the County.
Besides the premiums published by us
last week, there is to be subscription
premium of about S25 for the best Brass
Band in the County.

that all those who want anything in the

get good goods at the very lowest prices.
But Mr.. PLANE, desires us particularly
10 call attention to the Statesman
stove, which he has now on hand. He
considers it one Of the best cooking stoves
ever made. He has sold numbers OF
them, and they have invariably given
good satisfaction, and brought other
customers. PLANE 81 Co. have many

Stoves, besides everything in the Hard

Republican Meeting at Fairbank.

Ev The largest and most anthusias-

the County during this canvass, was
that held at Fairbank on Wednesday
last. The Republicans of that place and
vicinity raised a large and handsome
pole on that day, and listened to speech
es by Judge TABOR and w. G. DOMAIN,
Esq. In the evening they entertained
the Independence Wide Awakes, num-
bering fifty-two, with a most excellent
supper, and were in turn gratifed by the
Wide Awake parade. The Republicans
of Alton are full of ardor and enthusi-
asm, and will give good account of
themselves in November.

EF- The Independence Brass Band
will give ball at MoRsE's Hall on Tues
day Evening next, October 9th. The
Band is greatly in want of new instru-
ments, and is endeavoring to raise the
means necessary TO procure them. The
members have labored zealously to i'm
prove themselves since their organiza-
ton, and have made most gratifying pro-
gress. With new instruments, and the
same energy in practice, they will soon
mako the band an object Of pride TO our
citizens. Ii is needless for us to remind
our citizens how much a band can con
tribute to their enjoyment-how great a
convenience aud pleasure it is to have
one in our midst. And we are sure that
it will be needless to urge them to en-
courage the present organization. Let
each one buy ticket TO the ball. and
though they may not attend, still con-
tribute that amount towards helping the
the band get their instruments.

Wheat.

Wheat.
ET The receipts of Wheat the past
week, have been very large, larger than
ever before known here. Our buyers es-
innate that on several days the receipts
reached over two thousand bushels per
day. The facilities for shipment by rail
were inadequate to meet this great influx,
and buyers were compelled to stop pur-
chasing because they could not dispose
of the grain. The Dubuque and Sioux
City Railroad Company is deficient in
facilities for the business offered, and the
management would consult their interests
by an immediate increase Of their rolling
stock.
