s15" We are happy to see again in our
Village the pleasant faces Of our old friends,
L. L. and a. Y. DODGE. The meeting is
quite singular, as one has spent the last two
years almost at the eastern extremity ofour
continent, while the other has been as far
removed from US on the west.
tY- Our late appearance this week is at
tributajle to the exceeding hot weather. It
is melting most everything capable of
being melted, and as our roller, whichis a
opposition of glue and molasses, was the
most fusl article in our office it went first,
and previous to this late hour we have not
been able to get roller hard enough to
work with, consequently our late issue.

that lively, bright, energetic, and good look

he has gone through almost as much in the
last three years as any man in the army,

the Herald one would think that good
many farms in Old Grant are changing
hands. There is, no, doubt, number of
land oynerssin Iowa County who wish to
sell their farms. If any such there be,
just hand in your advertisements to the
CHRONICLE, and our word for it, you will
find purchasers. 41h

ception of Sergt. PENRERrIy on furlough,
and HENRY COLLINS imprisoned at Memphis

persons who have been disturbed by the
circulation of false reports in regard to
their friends with the 3lst Regt.

CURED near Linden faw days ago. The
