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

q SUGGESTION 10 READERs.-A paper can
be made to do much more good than it 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 il. if you do not care
about preserving it. and send it 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 MS 10 the locality TO which
they will remove. Do not send it to those of
no intention of removing to the West. but to
those whom you think more likely to do so.-
Many in SOM Of the older states are de.i.
rous Of trying a newer, but only wait a little
age to start. by such means as we suggest
many ncighborhoois in tie West have been
,liickly and we'll p~eoplel, and many more may
he in the same way. Our county las a soil
as arabic and fertile as any in the 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
tloh, ana you will see the results even soon
err than you suspect. Many private letters Of
inquiry have been received here, asking for
information in reference 10 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 in>
migration is to the West irresistible, but it
often needs to he helped.
How They DO WaIrE.-Wasn't it Deacon
Blunderskull who said that, 'rcaden, written.
and rithmctic" came by nature? Yes: he's
the one as said il was "sich, and 10 establish
the good Deacon's erndhion beyond a pcrad-
venture we give the following letter, rer5ahu.
dhfera'im 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
request to the end of a business letter.:

Well The deacon was right of course or, at
least, it must be useless to learn to Rite and
Spell SO long as those who receive our letters
can have "Pussons to Red them.
