OLD FRIENDS AND New FrRn.-Ourr read
ers will see in our advertising columns the
names of three of our most popular fellow
townsmen, for years, now united to constitute
a business firm in St. Louis. As business
men these gentlemen are not only wellknown
in Keokuk, but they have obtained vide
fame and an envisble popularity throughout
the Dss Moines Valley, and to some consid-
cradle extent, in Missouri and Illinois.
John w. Cleghorn, who has resided in Ke'
okuk for Many years, is probably - widely
known, and as universally popular, as any
man in this section, and the other members,
though they have not been so long amongst
us, are widely known, and highly esteemed.
We take pleasure IN commencing this new
firm to the favor of the public, in their new
location, and to the patronage of our readers
who may have business in their line.

For the Daily Gate City

SWfI SAoP So"ss
Disease of the most fearful kind is being
disseminated in Keokuk by the habit of feed,
ing cors NTH s,rtu slop.
Are our citizens aware that every COW fed
thus will die OF consumption in three or four
years. This is not the worst every child
drinking the milk produced by cows thus
treated, has the seeds of consumption surely
sown in its blood.
Parents, who love your children, think OF
,his, and desist from giving to your stock such
certain poison, and be careful, you who pur-
chase milk, to learn that the article is the
natural secretion Of healthy food.
In the city of new York, any person selling
milk from swill>fed cows, ia fined, on convic>
ton, fifty dollars for the 6rst offence.
There are hundreds of persons who visit
our distiIleries every day to carry home their
pail of swill slop, who are innocently, but
certainly, sowing death among their little
ones. BE pdrned in time. TIC.
