CaASGE or STYLE The Muscati1e Branch
Of the State Bank Of Iowa is about to retire
from the State Bank organization, and on
the 1st Of February next, will open its doors
~ ''The Muscatine National Bank" The
AcGregor Branch Of the same organization
withdrew some time since, and went ito the
National Banking System, and We believe,
though we have no authority for saying 80,
that before many months have elapsed, the
1erchants' Branch in this city will with
draw from the State organization, and
adopt the National. Further than this, we
predict that two years hence there will not
be State Bank in Iowa. This change
will not be made because the State Bank
System has in any degree proved failure,
or that it lacks in holding a full share of
public confidence, but because financial men
al the country over foresec that the Ma
tional is to become the popular system, and
oil banking organizations that do not come
into the arrangement must become, if not
SO already, the objects Of unfricndly legisla
ton, and must take second position in the
banking business. The Branch Of the State
Bank here is in excellent condition to make
this change. Its issues have been with
drawn from circulation, its standing before
the public is Of the first order, and but very
little preparation will be nece essary to make
the change.

WHERE Do You Buy ?-The question |
Groceries is an important one. Unless YOU |
buy the best you get cheated. Cheap Gro
ceries are as bad in family as cheap cloth

The best satisfaction, and are in fact, cheap
'r than those that you buy for less money.
# you want choice groceries, those that will
gladden. the taste and put flesh upon the

Brady streets. His stock is extcnsive-is

zee or spices it is not ground peas and bar
