James Taylor, of Black River Falls,
Wis, one Of the up river, heavy, lumber
operators, is among us as full of life and
geniality as man can be. Jim is SO popu-
lar at McGrcgor that he can be elected to
a fine Office if he will remove to this place.
Our Offices are not profitable, Misther
Taylor, but then they are SO honorable
...... We have several communications
which are unavoidably laid over some of
them may never see light through these
columns. Don't forget St. Valentine on
the l4th. The city is full of his letters,
suitable for fun or earnest. ....A Demo
cratic Norwegian paper will soon be issu.
ed from Madison, Wis. The Norsemen
have been treated to the misrepresenta-
tons Of radicals till they begin to 6nd
themselves assistants in establishing So
cial tyranny as to "what they shall eat and
what they shall drink more exacting
than that which was prevalent in the old
world from whence they emigrated. We
hope this will be success. A thorough
acquaintance by them of the facts of po-
litical history in America will prove to
them that the Democracy favor their in
tercsts, while those who have deceived
them arc the agents Of bond-holders.
Jim Williams Barber and Hardness
ing establishment, in Kurz's building, No.
l Masonic Block, opened on Saturday to
" crowded house." There is fun enough
in "Jim" to run two barber shops
He has frst-rate help, and the energy
and industry of the Boss will make TIC
business move. Williams is universal
favorite as well as good workman. Sue
cess to him and his "boys y 1.-THE word
Honorable" is tabooed by the present
Congress in application to public officers.
The distinguished body was doubtless
aware of it's want Of claim to any such IT,
tie. We like the abrogation Of it however |;
like Esquire" it has become meaningless
by its too frequent use and its very COM
mon application to unworthy men. Why
not use the plain quaker address "Charles
Brown, II. of Rep, Washington, D. Co."
instead of Hon. Charles Brown, NJ. g.,
House of Rep, Washington, D. GU
Look what space and time it saves. The
titles are only the extra feathers in the tail
Of human peacock already vain enough
to strut his brains out if he ever had any.
Let the plain fashion begin Mt once. We
won't write "Hon." on the back of a letter
for year, unless our correspondents re-
quest it !......See notice of Teachers As
socion in another column......" Tbs Edito-
rial party smoked at Council Bluffs, sl40
worth of cigars on their return from the
Rockies" Who has better RICH to puff !?
1--WE are indebted to the Lady manag-
crs of the Leap Year Ball, held Tuesday
evening, Jan. 2Sth, at North McGregor,
for an invitation. It is probable we shall
be "allemendc-ing left" before this No.
of the TlxRs is issued.
D. II. Hamlin & Co. have immense oys-
tcrs of the finest quality. We tried them
and hence we know what to say about
them. Go for can and see......" Maj"
John F. Barrett, of McGregor, Iowa, is
one of tho two who escaped from the burn
ing car in the late dreadful Railroad acct
dent in New York. His arrival at Spring
field, Massachusetts, ia announced by the
Republican of that city. We are glad to
hear of the young mans escape. How did
john become Mqjor s......The Messing
ham baby trial last week, at Elkader, re-
suited in the acquital of the grandmother,
who was arraigned for conspiracy with
her daughter in abandoning the infant
The child, it will be remembered, was left
on the sidewalk in this city in the night,
and in the morning it was kindly cared
for. Thus the whole subject drops......
John Mickle, Of Central City, is with us,
designing to remain the winter. Mrs.
Mickle is with him. John has been very
successful in Colorado. I'D. Allen has
sod his interest in the "Allen House," to
Mrs. Comstock, who will hereafter have
charge of it. This information reaches
US just as we go to press.
Favor from Doctor Russell acknowledge
cd. Next week most Reverend D. D !......
Mayor Shaw, OF Lansing, learning that
Mayor Hammer, at present, was talking
"hoss," like Grant, came down to see US.
John Schinzel was his aid. 1.-THE
News Co.'S. report of the c. c. Ayr. Soci-
ty came too late for this issue. 1t was not
their FAULT however, and we express obi
CATION. The P. o. will probably be re-
In owed to the late Daniels Boot and Shoe
House, opposite the Cambrian-a large
and convenient building. Our P. 0. bust.
ness since a connection with Sir John
Franklin's graveyard, up north, is heavy.
.....J. S. Parker of Milwaukee, an attache
of Merrill & Co., the extensive Tombstone
men of that city, has been some days with
US looking after the WooD, WARE estab-
lishment here. We could wish for the
sake of his company that he had not clos
ed his business matters here so soon.
