The Waterloo "courier", not having
'he fear Of the Transcript before its
eyes, suggested that Iowa Central
X. X. has nei,Ier beginning nor end,
and no connections North or South.
We take occasion to add that large
ho1e III the middle is stuffed with county
bonds! Il is fair to state, however, that
whether the Transcripts ban,ling has
any connections or not, it has some very
aff-c,ionate relations TO oi in the
transcript ctiice.--NarshaN TO. Times
We suppose The above Is intended as
something sharp, but we fail to see the
point or feel it cut. The clovcn foot is
plainly seen through this joak" and
the animus Of the creature exhibited.
Ii is one Of the usual upheayals Of the
sonr stomach of our friend Of the
"Times".
The Iowa Central anil its fair pre-.
spects Of being perfect success,
troubles him. 1t is his goaded hobby
horse by day and his heavy night mare
at night. We wonl,l alvise him 10 rc
slow, or an Internal Revenue Assessor
may call for an exhibition Of his license.
Lovely Times!, souret at every step Of
progress made by m adjoining county.
Generous Times !, enaeavor to dis

Magnanimous Times. !, bu,lesqae and
condemn the efforts Of Your neighbors

be of an honorable and enduring benefit
to them and great convenience as
well as great credit to the young and
wing state Of lava.

Cen,ra! was, IN hopes to defeat il Tho
Tiini~s will 'lease bear in mind tha. We
haze se,y direct proof Of this in the re
marks Of ose Of is own c,.;zers. A
il aiding business man ofihat town said,
soor after Tie enterprise of building the
Iowa Central was started, that Il the
Lnwa G. n'ral company depended on
Tama county for nateiia! aid, the
road never would be bull; that he
knew the citizens Of that county well.
they never gase ANYTHING Cor public
enterprises that the, would wait until
the people o. rama county had cx
pended their little efforts, AMI then the
people Of Marshall county would s,er
IN and secure the road. They waited
but waiting gave them no better pro
Spects. A new line WIS proi iec'ed, in

but they paid no attention to it. Il
was mex: sent up tie Iowa river some
where, bu. failing 10 find the plsce, it
t,,nn,lerea over to Waterloo, ard tho
people of,ha, GROWN g town showed il
So LITTLE res; &C, that 800 could not be
raised for a preliminary survey Of the
tail route. Il 'htn 'ook another founder
up the Iowa river, and they say il has
a very fair (imaginar,) prospect Of
being tackled down 20 the Dabuqne
and Sioux City road a, the great city
Of Achlev containing from one to two
hundred inhabitants. So much trouble
with one tail.
| Bu' seriously, notwithstanding The
Pc!la Newton and Marsha!ltown roaG
was projected in great part to dsfea
the Iowa Central, yet if it fails in this
as i, snrel. will, and will aceomdate
the towns and country through whic.

BE another snhjac, Of State pride. We
owe ii no ill will as II now promises,
and think that its friends would show !,
far more noble disposition f,hey would
abstain from exhibiting that little peut
up narrow minded spirit ofpetty malice
and envy which th,y have heretofore
manifesto toward the Iowa Central.
