The weekly north Iowa times. [volume] (McGregor, Iowa) 1857-1867, 1864-06-01

written by mrs. Belle Hurlbut to Mrs. Wal
tiers, announcing the death, in Arizona, BY
Indians, of Rodney Hurlbut Cher husband,
few weeks ago. This letter has been .
most unwelcome one to the hosts of friends
in McGrcgor who tied to Rodney with
shocks of steel" May the God of the
widow and the orphan be the protector Of
Belle and her little child in their Loneliness
on the Pacific shore -. Brick" the ter
rife, dropped in here last week and left
without killing anybody. He was moving
south, per steamer, destined, we believe, for
Fl. Pillow; we guess that his object was
cotton, even if an attack on breastworks
was necessary to secure it,. Mr.. Roe, an
elderly gentleman, who has recently pro.
prietor.ed hotel in the vicinity of the
Elkhorn tavern, died on Saturday, the 21st,
very suddenly. He was most worthy
citizen. Geo. Haislet, Ed. & Prop. Of
the Lansing Union, was in town last week
with his lady on visit. George is quite
as much at home in McGregor as at Lansing.
....W. Schmidt, of the Market Saloon,
near the Bank, has fitted up his rooms in
very nice style, and now furnishes the
best Dubuque Lager to his customers. Mr..
s. resorted to the Saloon business because
of gunshot accident which deprived him
of the use Of his hand in working at his
trade. Miss Emily E. Boynton is at
Dewitt, Iowa, visiting friends. She will
probably remain till July LIST.
Master WILLIE P. DANIELS, a patriotic
little fellow Of Forreston, Iowa, sends US,
per letter, FIFTY cents (which I wish you
to give to the soldiers please hand it to
the Agent of the Sanitary Commission at
McGregor." Willie's request will be com.
piled with; the amount is not large, but
there are hundreds Of persons who are bet
ter able to pay, who will not contribute
cent TO this humane and holy cause....
Mr.. DAYTON, recently in business nearly
opposite the Hotel of Jones & Rowland,
has sold his stock Of groceries to the Messrs.
Greene Of the North Meg. r. r. Store.
....Jo. Henry has leased or bought the
German Garden House built by August
Kruger. 10. has succeeded in getting the
read built and bridged on right lines in
stead of twisting round the bluff as former
ly....We are told by Mr.. Peter Young, of
Elkadcr, just from Dubuque, that Lieut..

Col. of the 100. day men from this district,
DR.. Wright, Of Independence, 1t. Col,

attach tails 10 their dresses, and it may not
be long before VIC will see the dear ones
travelling the streets with their hands in
their pockets and the skirts of their coats
gracefully depending before from their
bracelet encircled wrists. No matter what
they wear, or don't wear, we hope always
to admire them.
