Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1867-08-02

a SUGGESTION 10 READERs.-A paper car
be made to do much more good than 1t usual
~ does and We want to suggest to the read
ers of the REPUBLICAN, that, when you have
cuiled from it what you wish and done with
reading it, You fold it. if you do not care
about preserving it, aud send il TO some OF
your friends in the older states who may de-
sire to remove to the West but have not made
up their minds rs to the locality TO which
they will remove. Do not send 1t to those Of
your acluaintances whom You know TO have
no intention Of removing to the West. but to
those whom you think more likely to do so.-
Many in some Of the older states are de.i-
rous Of trying a newer, but only wait a little
knowledge of localities 10 give them the coar.
age to start. by such means as we suggest
many ncighborhoods in the West have been
thickly and well reorled, and many more may

as arabic and fertile as any in thu State and
much of it is yet unemployed and can be
bought Mt most reasonable ia es Now since
it is so much TO the interest of all that it be
speedily populated let all act on our sugges
ton, and you will see the results even soon
er than you suspect. Many private letters Of
inquiry have been received here, asking for
information in reference to the place and
county in particular; and this inquiry itself
would not only be increased, but actual immi-
grafton would increase also. The tide of inn
migration is TO the West irresistible, but il
often needs to he helped.
How THEY DO WRIrG.-Wasn't it Deacon
Blunderskull who said TINT, 'readen. written.
and rithmctic" came by nature? Yes: he's
the one as said it was .sich, and 10 establish
the good Deacon's erudi,ion beyond a perad-
venture we give the following letter, reyJatim,
eAtefaiim ct punetaatum, from the original
manuscript, emitting only one Post Script.

This is nearly as well done as that Of a
busincis man WHO appended the following

Wen the deacon was right of course or, at
least, il must be useless to learn TO Rite and
Spell SO long as these who receive our letters
can have "Pussons TO Red them.
