We do hope that the meeting CALLED by
the committee will be largely attended.
Whether the people realize it or not, this is
matter Of vital Importance to this commu-
nifty. Every man who has the least spark
Of interest in the town, his own welfare and
good name, and any regard whatever for his
children, and the posterity that will follow
them, should turn out to this meeting, ard
lend his aid, influence and hearty co-ope-
ration in pushing forward this good work.
Until this work is accomplished this town
has reason to feel ashamed of itself. Turn
out fellow citizens, and let's have rousing
meeting, and do something perhaps put In
the foundation thatvcry night. VI III
Death Of an Old Nason-A week ago
there died at his residence in GAINESVILLE, at
an adSanced age, Mr.. JAMES KELLER, who
might almost have been termed the Father
Of Masonry in Northern Iowa. There is
hardly Lodge Of any age in this part Of
the State but that he organized and put in
working order. The Lodges of this place,
Waterloo, Waverly and GAINESVILLE, united in
giving the deceased Masonic burial. In
the beautiful language of the burial service
Unto the grave we resign the body of our
deceased friend, there to remain Until the
general resurrection, in favorable expecta-
ton that his immortal soul may then partake
Of joys which have been prepared for the
righteous fruii the beginning of the world"
Rrsonus-That blatant Copperhead and
contemplate traitor. WRIoHr, Of Waverly,
is terribly fetocious man when in safe
place. We had sothe conversation with him
at GAINESVILLE, last Saturday, relative to an ar
ticle that spoke Of his being frightened near
" out Of his wits in this place, not many
weeks since, simply because Union nan of
good physical proportions quizscd him lit
tie about copperhead pins. The converse
ton, as those who heard it can testify, was
very mild and peaceablc in its Language, yet
we hear that this WR1Gnr is now swelling
around like an over grown toad, telling how
he abused and threatened the writer, and all
that prevented him from giving us a Gaming
was because we backed down and did not
exhibit any spunk. He never applied any
epithet to US, made not single threat, and
moreover had no cane in his hand with
which to cane US had he been disposed to
attempt that little job. He complained that
our treatment Of him was ungentlemanly.
and admitted that he was in the habit of
wearing coppcrhead pin, whereupon we re-
marked to him that q person that would wear
one of those reasonable emblems was no
gentleman, and should not expect to receive
the treatment due gentleman. AT this he
curled up on his seat like whipped pup, and
never opened his mouth again while we re-
manned there. Now we will inform this
WRlaur that if he really wants to cane us
bad he can find us at our Office any day of
the week. We despise him for being most
disgusting, low-lived pimp Of traitors, and
there is nothing about him that would enti-
tie him to be called man except that he has
I human form. Now we do not lay claim to
any grea. amount Of pluck, but we do know
that we should as unhssitatingly, put an
earthly quietus upon this copperhead WRIGHT
should occasion justify it, as we would any
other venomous reptile that should attack us.
A Aissouri Psarl.--The pearl Of great
price has been found. We have seen it !;
and, although We do not SCI ourself up in the
land as connoisseur in articles Of "bigotry
and vertue," yet will we make, bold to pro-
nounce said Pike county gen-5uly. It
was bought Of q Missourian by gentleman
in this city for the immense sum Of four bits
neither the buyer or seller knowing at the
time Of the Transaction exactly what kind of
stock they were trading in. The pearl is
about the sise Of common hasel-nut, tho
rather longer, and Of good color and lustre.
