Homer Foster and Charles Contal, of Co.
F, 7th Iowa cavalry. All these young men
belong in and around McGregor; there
were several others who live in the Interior

the plains. Their comrades speak of them
with fraternal affection. Bishop Lee laid
the corner stone recently for Church in
New Oregon. A large audience attended

small distilleries have been discovered
among the Turkey River hills, near Gut
tenberg and Millville. AS no licenses were

lips and Garrison. IND
Judge Brown, of Fl. Atkinson, Iowa,

JOHN is not as old as Methuselah, but he is

Rosenthal has put up one of the incest lit
tie (tobacco) Indians we ever saw. He
looks SO pretty, for an Indian, that it is
impossible to pass SANS store without
dropping in to purchase cigars, tobacco, a

ranting: the cooler, quieter sort is what
