Music is the grandest charm known and

Republican majority in Pennsylvania and
adds: "Pat apparently realizes the terrible
defeat of his party" Yes, We realize it all
but we don't fret much about il. IF the
American people like it, nobody should
grumble. Capt. Dean, Qate Judge Of
Allamakee Co.. Of the 9th Cavalry passed
through here one day last week with 90
recruits, bound for Davenport. The Capt.
is one Of the most agreeable companions
we meet; there is fire enough in his nature
to make splendid officer. R. H. F.
Morgan spent day here last week. He is
the Winona Agent for r. Roads and

ward writes US from Elkhart County, In.
diana, (his present residence, we suppose)
urging some move to obtain Land Grant
to aid our Railway. We think the people
can get the road done if they wish it, be-
fore the grant could be got through Con-
gress. If Hon. "Will' Allison, our work
ing Congressman can get anything for the
Company they will be obliged. There arc
probably two millions OF acres on the due
west line that might be granted" and thu
effort to secure it is worth making. -.
Mitchell is the Railway Agent for soliciting
stock subscriptions in Howard county and
that "neck Of woods" NJ. is an efficient
worker.
Cone and Colgate have we'll arranged
store now and are heavily stocked with
Broad Axe" goods. Colgate says that
they first brought ten gallon kcg of Ker-
osene to McGregor for the retail trade Of
the town and that now nearly every dealer
sells it by the barrel! This shows how
popular Kerosene light has grown to be.
1.-The Ne'os suggests Honorable WIN. l.
Gilchrist for Speaker of the Iowa House of
Why not? He is an
man, intellectually he is far above
the average Of Legislators and his admins
trative qualities arc Of high order. Let
it be recorded Us. j. Case and G.
summerield & Co., will get into their new
brick stores adjoining the Bank, in few
days. Buck & Bicknell's soft Brick Front
by 60 deep Is progressing rapidly. This
firm will use the east 25 foot room below
and tho whole upper part for their extern
sive Furniture business. The Alsip Bros,
Is brick masons are the most industrious
men We ever saw. It's fortunate for Nc
Gregor that such men arc here. Abr.
Kohn has opened out in Koss' Block. Call
on them and buy coat or q parrot boots.
Philadelphia merchants are very courteous
and you'll find the Kohns no exception to
the rule. See their poetic advertisement.
Ed. Stow is storing oats and other pro.
duce in Gilchrist's brick near the Lcvee.

Express Company, TINES Block. 49,. Jesse

McGregor House Saloon. Jess and Hite
intend getting up some most tempting
lunches during the winter. -. Mr.. Barron
called the Sabbath Scholars of the Baptist
Church on Monday evening to have little
pleasure and bid goodbye to Gardner Nc
Gregor who is about to leave for New York
to spend the winter. This is . kindness
to the children and deserved compliment
to a most worthy young man. When a
boy is a gentleman he ought to be favored.

life on his southern trip-the boat on which
he was passenger was burnt and he lost
his baggage. We can't spare "Sam" yet
90. Mrs IL. Ruble is east on visit. Hen

We doubt if he could at this time tell q
Reaper from left handed plow! "Hank"

pairs for machines. He wants repairing
himself!
