WILLIAM =. CHAMBEHS, son Of Vincent Cham
bers, ESD, of Muscatlne county.
WILLIAM ). CHAMBERS was born in Jackson
county, in the State of Indiana, on the LIST day
Of september, 1913 and at the date Of his death
was in his 23rd year. He was q young man Of
unblemished character, free from the vices
his age. In 1862, he enlisted in Company "a
18th Iowa Infantry, and continued with that
regiment through all Its long marches and
hard fought battles until the battle Of TupelO,
Miss, in the summer Of 1854, after which he
returned to his home near Muscatine, broken
down by disease, and was never afterwards
able to return to his comrades in arms The
soldier, and has no hesitancy In saying that he
was good soldier, implicitly obeying all com-
mands, and o brave nlan in battle. He was
with his regiment In the disastrous Red River
campaign, and at the battle Of Pleasant Hill q
ball passed through tho haversack at his side
and after having escaped tho dangers of uany
fierce struggles, he contracted tho disease
Which eventually terminated his life.
Thus has passed away, In the morning OF
life, another brave man, who thought tho SAC
rilce mono TO great that no should give his Lie
for his country.

boring during the coming spring and
summer. This shows the right kind Of
spirit. Where the surface of the earth
does not furnish plenty of fuel it is im-
portant that the inhabitants should
know what is beneath the surface.
There seems to be no reason why coal
may not be found on the west bank Of
the Cedar. The questions of quantity,
depth and quality must determine
whether the coal shall be brought to the
surface. These questions the farmers
propose to determine.

kind and quality of the goods they have
on hand, their charges apd varieties OF
stock, and the prices at which they arc
prepared to dispose Of 1t. Nor are they
reluctant to pay the printer the price Of
an advertisement which calls attention
to their place Of business, and the advan-
tages in dealing with them. We always
find the advertiser to be . liberal man.
He takes something more than an out
side view of business matters. He Is
honest in his dealings with customers.
He is open-hearted and fair in all his
transactions, and he IS a man that can be
trusted in everything. 1t always pays a
business man to advertise, no matter
what his calling may be, and he knows
it; hence he can afford to be liberal and
sell cheap. The man who has the lar
gest patronage and does the most BUSH
ness, is the one who a!vertiscs extern.
sively, and the people generally avoid
all other establishments and 80 to his.
Many merchant and dealer let slip a
large fortune for want Of the necessary
liberality in expanding the amount of
money it requires to bring his goods,
wares and merchandise properly to the
notice Of the public.

handsome faces and rosy cheeks, but
what is vastly more important, they are
intelligent and refined. We sometimes
get stuck in a snow bank, or upset; but
being but common country people" we
never think it of sufficient importance to
write an article in the ''hifalutin' style
of school-boy oratory, about it. Never
theless, perhaps we can learn lesson
from our city cousins.
