Mr.. J, W. Glenn will please &C.
cept our thanks for fine mess OF Sioux
Indian corn, the cars Of (which averaged
about Is iuches in length.
Mr.. John Shanklin will hereafter
be the sole proprietor Of the Pioneer
Drug Store, Mr.. Armstrong having re.
tired from the firm. Mr.. Shanklin will
still continue to keep the establishment
we'll supplied with fresh drugs, station
cry and fancy notions.
49,. Mr.. james J.. Stewart has pur-
chased tho New York Store Of Mr..
Murdough and intends to run the
<smer sheen hereafter. Mr.. Stewart is
very active man and doubtless will
sell goods evcn if he has 10 do it at
nearly cost. Success to him.
.... We expect large mass meeting
in this place on the l6,h inst. Every.
body is expected to turn out and hear
the speeches Of Ex-Gov. Grimes and
g Ben Darwin. We will guarantee
in advance that they will be far ADLER
men than those who spoke to the Cops
an town last Tuesday evening.
Measures are already being taken to
make the meeting large and enthusiasts
tic one. Remember the time, Sept. l6.
Hast Tuesday evening the De-
mocrats held a meeting at the Court
House and were addressed by Mr.. Par
ker Of Davenport and a gentlemen fr.m
Chicago runner for the Chicago
Times! from that we think, every one
must know what his predictions arc.
We have not room to speak ~ fully
as We would like of their speeches. We
must content ourself with saying that
the greater part Of them w;ss complete
Tissue Of Misrepresentation, purposcly
intending TO mislead the people As
an example both speakers declared chat
they were not supporters or advocates
ct Mr.. Vallan'lyham or his doctrines,
aud yet each OF them spent a great por-
ton Of their time in defending him in
Iris course and condemning the A lmi
abstraction for pnn,shing him. This is
fair sample Of their whole speeches.
2. s The Chicago gentleman, We
learn, bears the name Of Willard" and
once held a position in the army at Mem.
1his, which he was obliged to resign to
to avoid approaching difficulty, and that
afterward he went down there to prac
ticc law and was cent beyond our lines
for n,tering disl"yal sentiments. The
Chicago journal" published these facts
few days ago. That's what's the mat
ter with the "Purp."
-. The graded Union School Of our
towa will open on Monday Sept 21st.
The Directors have secured the SER
vices Of Mr.. C. w. Burton as Principal.
This we consider sufficient guarantee
that the school viii be Of the first class.
He gave very general satisfaction last
winter, and NC arc confident will not
do less in the future. We hope the
patrons Of the school will take the adj
vice given them by i'm, through our
paper at tho close OF his last term, and |
send their children to school regularly |
and constantly. It is fact conceded
by all school teachers that children at
tending school but three fourths Of the
time will not learn one half as much as
If they attended regularly besides they
impede the advancement Of their class
mates. See to it, then, parents, that
your children are not kept from school
to satisfy foolish whims Of their own,
or run almost useless errands for you.
Facilities are afforded for studying
number of the higher branches includ
ing Latin, French and German and we
think there is not student in the
county who can not fully as we'll be
taught the coming Fall and Winter at
our graded school ~ at any seminary
in the State, provided they have but
the win to learn. Many Of our
young ladies and gentlemen, for the
sake of buncombc name must attend,
1t considerable cost, some instit ution
dubbed with the name Of s'college,"
and yet they are 50 deficient in an
English education that we will wager
the peaches on it, that not one in ten,
can upon the first trial spell the simple
word pronounced "vasilate", correctly.
We print it wrong for the purpose Of
letting them try it, and then referring
