A PECULIAR INSTITUTION IN Iowa
Among the curious phases of lows
society is the "Amanna Society,"" To-
Gated in Iowa county. twenty miles
west of Iowa City. From the Musca
tine Journal we CLEAN the following
facts relative to this community. 1t
says:
1t numbers 800 members, and is di
yided into seven villages. 1t is gov
crned by trustees elected by all the
members of the society. The society
owns 10000 acres of land in one belt.
They have a large stock of cattle,
$4,000 head of sheep, and large
number of horses also 1900 acres
of land under cultivation. They are
engaged to some extent in manufac-
turing, and have good Touring and
saw mill and large wooden factory
in successful operation. They card,
spin, weave, and full all kinds of wool.
en- goods, running twelve looms, nine
narrow and three for weaving broad
cloth. Their machinery is Of the most
perfect kind. They will work up this
season, from 5000 to 5000 bales of
wool. The members of the society
arc all of religious order. Every
thing moves on in perfect harmony.
When necessary, the women aid in
outdoor work. We saw twenty in
one carrot patch, all at work. In the
same field were eight teams blowing.
The society is destined to become
wealthy.

BITTERS.

BITTERS.
TIME Undersigned would respectfully tender
l. his thanks to the people of Northern
Iowa for their liberal patronage during the
brief period the above named medicine has
been before the public. The high price. of
glass and other material used, together with
the direct government tax, has compelled
me to advance the price of my medicine. This
necessity regret no less than the intelligent
public who assure me of their confidence in
the healing virtue of my bitters by the con-
tinuance of their patronage since the advance
in price
am now happy to assure my customers
and the public that the advance in the price
of my medicine does not 60 into my pocket,
but is deposited in the government treasury to
do its part towards subduing the rebellion.
IAN ounce of prevention is worth pound of
cure" is an old saying, but none the worse
for age; then if you would save many doc
tors bills,
Keep these Bitters in Your
Family!
If You have symptoms of Dyspepsia take
them freely. In ordinary cases table spoon

be taken with safety The dose should be
regulated to agree with your nervous system.
