MAKE NorE OF Ir.-Sec advertisement
cf tho substantial and well known Clothing
House Of Collins, Plummer & Co., New
York, make note Of it, merchants Of Iowa,
and when you 60 East to replenish your
stocks, fail not to make them call. This
is among the oldest and most reliable inn
porting and jobbing houses in that city
Many Of our most prosperous merchants
trade there now, and many more would un-
doubtedly make money by doing the same
thing. Their stock is ample for all; is Of
the best quality, and can be purchased low
cr than at any other house in that city
Merchants, make note Of it.
Commemorative presume it is impor
tant that it should be known here and else
where, that we have received our commits
sion in due form and style, As 4th Corporal
Of the Thorington Guards. This has been
done to enable US to resign. We couldn't
have done so before because We hadn't the
commission to do it with. We propose
now to maintain our rank, wax our NOUS
tachc, draw our rations, and in all things
manage ourself as becomes an officer Of our
rank When the pay master comes around
we shall be among the very first to confront
him. Other cases requiring bold and dc
termined action will be carefully considered
before anything rash is perpetrated. Such
is milit ary glory.
PARTICULAR Nor1cs.-The dry good
trade Of this section will please notice tLa
double column advertisement Of the old ant
popular Dry Goods importing and jobbine
house of Lathrop, Ludington & Co., New
York. The reason why every wcsters
merchant should make it point to patron
izc them, is because they afford that class Q
trade special advantages which cannot b
found elsewhere. Their stock comprise
leverything to be desired in = first clas
wholesale or retail dry goods house in tn
west. Remember their location and be sur
to see them. For reasonable prices, gener
GUS terms. and fair dealing generally thi
house defies competition. Their old custo
mers in Iowa will please notice their remov
, q to Nos. 226, 22s and 230 Broadway
Dealers in carpetings will find that thi'
house affords superior facilities, and t
, their stock in this line we recommend ou
! mercantile friends. Never 60 to New Yor
without making raid At Lathrop, Ludine
ton 4 Cos.
. PUBLIC MEEr1xa.--Popular sentiment
becoming aroused on the railroad question
The people Of Davenport, IS been seen by
: cali published in the DExocRAr Of Frida
i evening, desire two things they want
enjoy the advantage Of competing railros
lines leading to the East. They want RI
duction in the freight tariff over the prese'
line. It is claimed that an that is wantt
to bring about the first object Is lit
earnest action on the part Of the people
J. that by offering inducements to lines no
stretching this way, our city will soon ha'
the thing asked for, and that desirable e'
accomplished there will be no difficult
about freights. Let US have two competi'
lines, and the sooner the better. We u
derstand that certain facts will be present
At the meeting announced that will prove
the public that direct competing line q
be obtained much more easily than has hit
erto been supposed.
We suggest, that while the people are
council that they also consider the imps
lance Of securing the Southwestern railro
road connection spoken Of In our paper
Saturday Competing lines leading eastws
's not al that is to be desired. Our q
also needs feeders reaching out into differ
portions Of the State-ons towards /
Southwest, striking fairly into the heart
The great Des Aoinss valley, and anotl
n. short line to connect with the ro.da n
or being pushed through the Cedar Valley
These ere matters Of vast Importance,
