North Iowa times. [volume] (McGregor, Iowa) 1867-current, 1867-10-02

We had the pleasure Of many calls last
week, from most valued friends. We may
not write the names Of all because Of for
gstfulness, but among others was George
Milburn, author Of the celebrated Misha-
wauka wagons sold here BY Malone & Go.
Coming from our old home, St. 10. Co.,
Ind, George was most excellent company
He and lady were guests of Senator
Newell, for whom Homer clerked in boy
hood day. This is "Home''-cr item....
....Rev. j. S. Jordan, of the Baptist C'h,
and highly appreciated at McGregor fol
his religious zeal, his social qualities, and
hispulpit eloquence, islocated at Metamo-
m, Woodford Co., Ill. A letter from him
to US requests the presentation Of kind re-
CARDS to all. We congratulate Metamora.
......Mrs. Elmore, Of Monona, is DESTROYS
Of closing her Photograph gallery by Oct.
18th. Those wishing pictures will do well
to call soon. Mrs. E. is superior artist.
..... Our brother ANDRIck left for St. Paul
last week, and as Il. is expecting to leave
this ( Monday evening for the State Fair,
oar paper may be better edited than usual;
good mental material is common among
our boys...,..Won't some kind hearted lad
borrow a hammer and drive down the nails
in the side-walks?f We see ladies stumble
often at spike which is two inches above
the worn pine boards on which we are all
obliged to walk. Draw on the TINES for
pay. When you see board in the street
or anywhere, with nail sticking through
it, turn the board over or knock the nail
out A rusty nail-point isn't good for hui
man feet. .Tangel McCracken, the Oys-
ter man of Milwaukee, has been with us
a few days, enlivening the town with his
wit, sense, nonsense, stories and general
innocent devilment. Fortunately, "Jim''
Taylor, Of Chippewa, the Lumber dealer
Of the North, was with US, and Of course,
there was trio Of active agents in their
lines of business. 'sJeemes''
was as agreeable as a Vermont Gov. Slade-
observation-disclosures, and stun alive
is no name for the enjoyment We had. -
Isn't this a curious world? Here are three
"fellers'' lone an Irish American !; anoth-
er On English American, and the last, but
not the worst, a /" Whose pin here since is
pin gone"- Dutchman, that's 'Tangel') all
afiliating, associating and running the
train of Nationalities without reference to
any propriety, except that which keeps an
American adopted, out of the calaboose.-
Didn't JIM buy tsco hats and divide with
this ,criters Well, we rather think he
did, else the card on the inside of the hat
is lie ! Didn't TANGEL read and listen
to Shakespearc's Cymbeline till Eleven, on
Sunday night? Perhaps /! L We thank you
for the visit paper is handy to talk
kindly to friends, to neglect scum, or to
take the hides of of intellectual murrains
and throw them to the dogs. Taylor is
doing a big Lumber trade, and McCracken
is the FISHERMAN OF Milwaukee; 'ire Ia
