Fayette Review.
This popular West Union paper comes to
us enlarged to the size of tho Times, and as
handsome as taste, care and good material
can make it. We congratulate Jun. on the
success which has attended his efforts to es-
tablish good newspaper, and it is pleas
ure to see by his advertising columns that
both at home and abroad the Rerieao is es.
teemed valuable auxiliary to the business
prosperity Of Northern Iowa.
McGregor merchants make it pay to en-
ploy the Rerie,c; the article below, clipped
from No. of the enlarged edition, is high
ly complimentary to all of us in the Narrow
City. For the flattering share of good
words extended to us, we touch our tile and
breathe our gratefulness:
McGregor.
This is one Of the most fourishing young
cities on the Mississippi Its Importance
and rapid growing is owing both to its IA
vorablc situation, and to the go-ahead pro-
pensitics Of its inhabitants The trade of
this town is extensive, for it is drawn from
wide extent of country. A large part OF
this county is, and always will be, tributary
to McGregor as trading point. The regu-
lar trade of that town extends over $50
miles westward, an extent Of commerce
that will be sufficient to make it large
city, rs the country increases in wealth and
population. And if the people of that
city take the proper measures to secure and
extend this trade Gas we are satisfied they
wild we cannot we'll fix any limit to its
growth We of this county, are interested
in its prosperity. Nature has indissolubly
united the interests of the two localities, in
one. We should expect to be benefited by
the growth of McGregor; and that town
could scarcely fail to profit by the growth
and prosperity of this part of the country.
The merchants and business men, gener-
ally, of McGregor, are class that deserve
well of The public. The people of this sec
ton have dealt with them to such an extent
that we are fully justified in saying that
they are both reliable and entcrprsing.
The two newspapers published in that
place are not by any means the least notice
able of its institutions" The Press Of
recent origin, is ably conducted, and is
working its way up to distinction and pub
lie favor ~ 49," .. 1"'-.-'
The 7imes-almost everybody knows
what kind Of paper that is-able, ingen.
ious, amusing, in short, all that paper need
be. 1t is, comparatively, an old paper, and
well and securely established. 1t is not ex
actly venerable yet; but we expect it will
be, sometime. 1t has done a vast deal fo1
the upbuilding Of McGregor; and is con-
spicuous example of what good newspa.
per will do for it's locality. The Col, once
for all, is a model editor and hard to be beat
Fighting. III IL g-E-|E3. s4
Last Friday was a splendid day for fight
ing, at McGregor. The proceedings opened
early in the morning in front of the Amc
rican House and gradually travelled W
street till the curtain dropped at the Fores,
Saloon (wc are informed) at about the hou,
of ten, at night. The belligerents were
severally hauled up before Justices and fin
ed in sums Of $500 to $500. We DOM
know the names of all the warriors nor tn,
merits of the controversies.
Speaking of fights reminds us that ar
'Irishman' wrote us a letter complaining
of reference we made last week to fgh,
between himself and a darkcy. We fine
the same letter in the Press of Monday
Our object in abiding to the subject las,
week, was to advise the boys that hitting a
negro on the head wouldl.'t hurt him; the
father Of the Editor of the Times was not
an Irishman-if he had been, it would not
alter our estimation of the" rale ould stock. ;
We would willingly hurt the feelings of nc
man, however humble he may be-thc CASE
before us does not call for any more words
Stealing.
Information has reached us that the coun-
try ranging from Giard p. o. by way OF
MonOna and Postville towards West Union
is infested at this time with small thicvc.
to an alarming extent. Farmers in numer
Gus instances have lost th:ir harness, thei
axes, wedges, whipple trees and various
other portable articles of farm use. The
last demonstration seem to have been 8
simultaneous attack on the contents o.
school houses; books, states, inkstands, wa
ter pals, &C., &C., being missing in half .
dozen temples of education within section
of half dozen miles about Monona, in.
Guiding the one at that place. Mr.. Elmo,
Egbert lost his harness and he tells us thai
this pilfering is going on nightly in that
neighborhood. Mr.. Isaac Mathews saws
that about Giard the villains have also been
busy.
Is there no way to detect the pcrpeta.
tors of such bold rascality? A few shot
among their legs would be an effectua] re.
medy, and if one occasionally passed
through the body of a night prowler the
world would be no loser. ...
New CLoruEs.--If you can't afford to
buy new coat or pants, just carry your
"old duds' to s. T. RANDOLPH, opposite the
Sandusky Hotel, and you will find them SO
much improved that all your streetacquain.
tances will be calling on you Ito wet your
new suit" we have tried the experiment,
and know he is workman.
SORE TnROAT.-Somc medical adviser Sc
riously recommends the following remedy
"Grasp the throat of the person afflicted
with both hands, letting the fingers lap
about one inch. Continue this treatment
for about half an hour, after which let some
strong healthy person manipulate the head
of the person, passing the hands down from
the head, across the neck, and under the
chin ...-rs A. --.~r-.s. .-~-s--..
