Home and other Items
One of the best pair of people eve'
"raised'' in Ohio, send us presents of those
genuine buckeye productions, called Ap
pie Sauce and Apple Butter. Many years
ago, in Warren and in Miami Counties
we were required to peel and slice up the
richest apples for the aprlo-butter bust
ness. Thank you uncle LEN and aunt
LEN of Chagrin Falls, for thinking Of
McGrcgor friends whose warmest esteem
has long ago been rendered you. Good
wishes to our other "aunt," Mrs. Hop
kins.. -. Love is like burning glass: hold
it on the object and it fires up-change il
often and it effects nothing. ....A lock OF
the loved ones hair never decays if cared
for: all else soon comes to dust......1f you
don't want to fall in love you must keep
away from the girls. The sight of honey
will cause you to taste, and then, "Good
bye john" or any other man......Our
County returns favor the RAIDS! No partic-
ulars. I've elect only one candidate; Judge
Hunt B. 7. had no opponent. Would
.:Yer Honor be plaised to call on Misther
Mahoney, who dwells feminist Bigelows,
and indulge in smile of satisfaction at
the flnc face yces had all alone by yerself?
Och, it's nice man that nobody III be
baten. Judgel Accept our conSratula-
tons. Capt. G. Il. Miller, late IF Ross
Vile is having it now with j. r. Gage at
Mason City, the centre Of the richest
country tout west:'' we have seen it.
Miller & Gage is the firm. Send them
your land and law business.
Prof Shaw sends us an interesting
barometrical communication too late for
this issue. The articles Of Mr.. Shaw,
relating to weather philosophy, are copied
from the NORTH Iowa TINES at the Profs
old English IIome.... Wecould not attend
the Wisconsin River Convention Of yes
terday at Prairie du Chen. Tuesday is
our "wash-day'' in the Office, and we
cannot neglect our business for any other
mans. We saw Gov. Merrill on our
streets in tho morning, and learn that he
was permanent Chairman of the Conven-
ton. More about it in another column if
our reporter arrives in time......GEo. Z.
STEVENS of North McGreeor, machinest
of the first OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES locomo-
tive in railway mechanism, is now at
Council Bluffs, as Supt. of the car-con-
struction and repairing business from the
Missouri River to the Salt Lake end Of
the Pacific Railway. GEORGE is an old
time friend of ours, gentleman of
intelligence as we'll as a mechanic of
genius, and we are naturally, socially and
politically pleased that near neishbor
has secured one Of the most responsible
and best-paying positions ever given an
American workman. Graft in a foxy
sense, often wins thousands, but the
''craft'' of labor is seldom rewarded at
the rate Of $500 per year. On Monday
evening Mrs. Stevens left McGregor to
join her husband. Thos. II. Daley, late
of the St. Paul & McGrcsor Railway,
also shipped on the same boat for the
same destination. May good luck meet
and stay with them.
Frank Williams has sold his Monona
property Billiard Saloon) for $1,000
This indicates rise in Monona real estate
that is Aattering to owners, though "mor-
alists" may regard the business as no
good. We like to play billiards, and it
matters rothing to US who knows it
Playing scandal is not half SO useful to
public morals. Messrs. w. f. Baker and
VIM. Salisbury, are the purchasers. Visit
ling the town few weeks since, we found
the Excelsior a very agreeable place ito
while an hour away"
