Ek4 Inc sheridan ratlncaliO0 meet
ing on Saturday evening was great
success, gotten up as it was with less
than twelve hours notice. The Union
gun, cast four years ago, to thunder for
s. Honest Old Abe" opened it's mouth
and spoke to the Copperheads North and
South. The martial band paraded
the streets and gave nothing but Union
airs-unwelcome sounds TO the ears of
the little Mackerels." The hall was
well filled. and by an enthusiastic au-
dience who never look downcast over
Union victories. Henry O'Conner, Esq,
entertained the people with one of his
happiest efforts. The news ofSheridan's
last victory and of the decline of gold
below $500 was received with the Wild
est enthusiasm. The meeting adjourned
with three rousing cheers for Lincoln
and johnson, three for our army and
navy, three for Gen. Grant, three for
Sherman, and three for Irish Phil.
Sheridan" Why is it that when the
people celebrate the victories Of the
Union armies there are none but A boz
litionists present: Why is it the Me-
Clellan men never rejoice upon such oc-
casions: Who can tell ?
LEMP 4 SELLs.-Among the perma-
nent fixtures of this city. is the old and
well-established house Of Lemp & Sells.
1t is useless to inform the old time resi-
dents in this neck of woods anything
about this firm. They are always
among the first in the market with new
stocks, and the people know that when
the banner is hung on the outer wall Of
Union Block that that's one of the very
best places to visit in Iowa. We don't
know how it is, but it is, nevertheless, a
fact, that you can go to-day and pur-
chase many goods at Messrs. Lemp &
Sells at lower figures than at the eastern
wholesale houses. This may be true of
other houses in this city, but it is espe-
cially SO with this firm.
In all truth and verify we don't be-
lieve there was ever stock of goods
that equaled that now crowding the
shelves end counters, and every nook
and cornerin the rooms occupied by the
firm who make their autumnal bow to
the trading public in our advertising
columns. Read what they have to say,
and then go and see if every word of it
isn't strictly true. If net, and you don't
make trade, then come back to us and
We'll try and putyot: on the right track.
But go to Lemp & Sells first.
