All! bachelors, you know little of the joys
that wife and home have in store for you.
From now till January there will be from
two to three weddings per week in this

healing properties of high order and

1t is told US that the Doctor is getting
out 10000 newspaper Advertising sheets
monthly to give still greater notoriety to
the excellent remedies he deals in. Success

WAR.-A little domestic imJroglio among
parties who claim joint interest in few
feet Of basement territory, resulted, three
weeks since in the destruction of the stair

Why has not some man enterprise en-
oush to pack the pork delivered here dur
ing the season. We lave no assurance
of an ice.bridge all the winter . pork is
often threatened with injury IN conse-
quence of warm weather; live hogs when
driven here will "eat their heads off +"
with corn at present prices; tie offal of q
packing establishment is excellent living
and it would sell as quickly as any othe r
article of food; many hands can find en-
ployment; storage is not high, and, well,
there are many considerations which should
induce our produce dealers to stop the
pork at McGregor and put it in barrels.
Messrs John Williams & Bro. inform US
they have facilities at their slaughterhouse
to do any amount Of packing if moneyed
men desire to engage in the business.
Let US see move towards the establish.

this may seem it was true Of the Cincnna.

oats are high, hay is high, all coarse feed is
high, butter is high and it stands to reason
that the next season will see pork reach a
higher figure than we have witnessed for
some years.

THE DRAFr.-Just as sure as the Sun is
in the heavens there will bca draft in Iowa
in January unless the people rouse to the
necessities Of the occasion and bend every
nerve to the worl: of filling our quota.
Capt. Willard A. Benton is now ready
to enrol volunteers and subsist them. 1t
is not likely (taking the best informed gov.
ernmeut organs for guidc) that the war will
last very long but it is most important
that troops be enrolled, drilled and sent
below or eastward and as early in the
Spring as possible. The Draft is going on
in Wisconsin with great activity and the
whole state is in fever of excitement about
it. We will have it here shortly if there
are not some sacrifices made by our citi.
zens to induce the filling of Iowa's quota
under the last call. Voting is overnight
ing is now in order; either forward the
troops, or await CONSUMPTION.
