in which tho entire State. and especially
the larger cities, are deeply interested, We
hope some practical suggestions may be

Any effort on the part Of the teachers. who
IN particular, in their daily work, see and
feel the want Of such . State Institution,
viii be seconded by the entire people.

pected that the cars will run to Des Moines

teachers are expected to be on hand
For attendance it is expected Scott county
will stand, AZ in educational matters, first.
NEw Boor AND SHOE HousE.-In our is-
sue Of July 10th We briefly noticed the fact
that new wholesale and retail boot and
shoe house would soon be established in
our city. Mes-rs Bayley 4 Co. have rented
the large and splendid store>room, No. 13
Metropolitan Block, and have opened out
with . large and extremely we'll selected
stock Of boots and shoes, suitable for the
wholesale and retail trade Of this vicinity.
Msssrs. Bayley & Co. are eastern men,
having been engaged in the manufacture and
jobbing Of boots and shoes in Boston for a
number Of years, and they come to our city
fully determined, if energy and merit will
wir, to build up n big business. They
possess every element of SUCCESS large
capital, thorough knowledge Of their bus
mess. and any quantity Of that go>a head
atveness characteristic OF the genuine New
Englander.
They design keeping on hand at all times
very heavy stock, and in order to secure
good jobbing connection their wholesale
price list will always be marked down to
Chicago prices, and in some articles they
will sell shade finer than the merchants
Of that city, who are compelled to add an
extra per centage 20 the price Of their goods
to pay their enormous rentals.
In the retail department, presided over
by Mr.. Barker, formerly Of WARMERS, a
highly popular salesman, will be found
everything in the line for Ladies', Misses.
Childrens. tientlemen's and Youths wear
Messrs. Bayley 4 Co. have opened at rather
dull time, but in the course Of . few weeks,
when our farmers shall have gathered in
their crops and the wheat is being hauled
in, we confidently expect to see liberal
patronage extended to the new establish
ment.
