earn your money and then sac, it Ifycu
don't get. you can't save is,and If You don.
sare il, what's the object of earning cen.
more than is absolutely necessary for your
da'lr needs, But II you don't earn any
more than enough for ysus daily bread,
what are you going 70 do 10 case efiIl health
or lack Of ewploynsosi
What W wish 10 Dc 10 to put the labor
ing class, the men Of small means TO think
ing seriously about saving up their dimes
and dollars against the'day Of need. II is
. most important subject-ons which deep
ly involves your earthly happiness. Save
your dimes and the dollars will take care Of
themselves, provided. as fast as you get
them you 60 straight and deposit them 10
the Davenport Savings bank, from which,
you will not only be sure Of getting Jour
money back when you want il, but the ac>
oumulated interest, also.
This noble institution is doing more good
for the laboring classes ssof Scott county
than We know how to tell. II has already
very nearly fifteen hundred de ,ositors, Who
ale laying away their small earnings for
the day Of need. These deposi,ors put in
little sums ranging from ons TO one hun.
dred dollars. and from day to day and from
week to week they keep adding thereto.
These depositors have in that Bank, in the
aggregate, over one hundred and th' 'ty
thousand dollars, every cent by which is
drawing interest at . handsome per cent
age. They are thifty persons and
the principle they are acting upon
will surely make them Independent. When
the "rainy day" comes, these saved>up
dollars will afford them comfortable shelter
when sickness Or want Of employ msnt
comes they have got this sure STAFF to lean
upon; when old sge and decrspituds comes
creeping on, they have gos those handsome
accumulations as strong barrier between
them and want, hunger, and the poor
house
There are fifteen hundred more laborera
and men Of small earnings, in Davenport
every one Of whom We trust, will read this
article, and commence forthw 10 save up
portion Of their wages. At present they
don't consider q "dollar or two worth
saving, but If they will only stop and think
they will surely see that our sdvice is o
great value when We counsel them to depos
is,somsthing every week, rom this time forth
in the Davenport Savings Bank.
A word, by the way, to present deposit

On Monday NOR ming as Mr.. Shultz, who
lives short distance beyond Duck Creek
was driving into the city with loaded
team, he was met about mile and . hal
from this city by two teams with empty
grain wagons. The drivers were racing
and instead of turning out sufficiently fol
him 10 pass. they drove one on each side
so close that the wheels Of their wagon.
struck Mr.. Shultz horses and wagon, dam,
aging them very badly. One horse was
b,dly bruised and thrown completely owe,
the wagon tongue, the other was braised
and cut.on the fore foot so:tha:, if it does no,
prove fatal. will render him unfit for servi
c- for some time. The wagon was somes
what broken, one wheel being completsl,
demorelzed Mr.. Shultz did not know ths
names Of the parties but, we understand
will find them out and have them prose-
cuted. Such conduct is an outrageous vio'
latiop Of the etiquette Of the road, "a nd ,hey
should be made to suffer severely for il
that they, as well as many ether teamstsrs
in this vicinity, may learn 10 respect th,
rights Of others.

ton Of their apparel made from Shields
goods. Than this. We know Of no bettei
communication for these c!oths-that they
