Medstes.-There are quite a number
of cases of measles i'm town at present
Among the victims is one of our jours,
and the poor chap thinks "the natter
is hard on fellows "sorts." He would
rather get out the GAZETTE a dozen
times than the measles once.
Weathcr.-At this writing-mnd, at
this writing!-Thursday morning, the
weather is perfectly charming--to bor-
row phrase from Mrs. Jones. Indeed,
such winter weather as this is not to be

Waterloo young people, comprising
about twenty couples, visited Cedar

Lndorsement.-The Dubuque Herald
is kind enough to talk about us as fol !
lows:
THE Cedar Falls G AzETrE suggests the adj
vantagcs OF sending local papers east az adver- |
tiSementS for the town where they are publish /
ed. The GAZETTE is right. No better recon- !
mendation for a town can be given than the ,
display of its business, contained in its news !
papers. We know of several instances OF

4 Victim. 49, The Dubuque Herald
says:
1.-THE Cedar Falls GAZETTE hints darby of the |
removal of postmaster of neiShboring vii |
lage. Who is it?"
That's rich! We don't know who he
is but the Herald might easily ascer-
tain the cause Of the removal by send !
ing reporter here to inquire. We
know number of green 'uns who have
found out by asking. .a..- lag.
The Bridgc.-We do hope there will
be little hurrying up about attending
to the bridge across the Cedar. The
structure is now very unsafe, and no
one drives a loaded team over it without |
fear OF going into the drink. Now is
the time to attend to il. The Spring
freshet will soon be due, and it behooves
our citizens to move promptly and en-
ergetically in this matter before the .
foods come upon US.
Home Mite.-Unfortunately we did
not attend the last meeting of the Mite
Society at the Home. We are able to
to announce, however, that there was
a most delightful and decidedly brill
liant company present. When it is
known that there were over one hun
dred in the house, some idea of the
gathering may be formed. Two Teeks
from last Tuesday evening is the next
meeting.
Opportuaity.-Mr. w. J. Hart, the
has made up his mind to leave Cedar
Falls. He therefore takes advantage of
our advertising columns to offer house
to rent, on conditions; and also to in
form the public that he has a fine melo-
deon to dispose of cheap for cash. He
Furthermore desires that those who
have taken advantage of his kind heart,
his warm and loving nature, and ob-
tanned credit Mt NJ. Il WIS on his ac-
count, should lose no time in relieving
him from Liabilities on their behalf.
