The evening Argus. [volume] (Rock Island, Ill.) 1861-1871, 1868-03-07

READY For BusINEss.-We dropped In at
the Implement Warehouse of George W. ID.
Harris, this morning, and were shown
through that model establishment, which Is
the largest of the kind west of Chicago.
We made regular Ascension" but gave
out at the third floor. Every inch in the
building is packed to the fullest extent.
Our principal wonder was, what becomes of
all these stacks of agricultural implements,
and yet, before six months the present stock
viii be completely cleaned out. Nothwith-
standing the rain and mud, several Roweh
seed sewers were sold from this warehouse
Yesterday. The Selby Union Corn Planter
particularly attracted our attention. winch Is
manufactured by our neighbors at Peoria.
As statesmen during the coming season, Mr..
Harris will continue to retain Messrs Jose phi
Barnett, and his son John, whose popularity
and business tact are admitted by all
MoRToS's GOLD PENs.-Attention is d.
rected to the new advertisement of Morton's
SOlu pens He SicEAhS Nihsoo Va enoSo CAV
Giles is beyond question. 1t is even claimed
on very reasonable ground, that they have
no equal in the world. Wherever used,
their elegance Of touch, and durability, COM
mand the admiration of all fastidious pen
men. Mr.. Morton has invested an immense
ammount of labor, skill, and capital, and the
success he has met with is no more than has
been deserved, or should have been expected
Wherever civilization exists, Morton's pens
can be found. 1t is scarcely necessary for
US to remark that the present advertisement
should by no means be connected with the
worthless jewelry schemes so common in the
eastern cities and which operate so prejudi
cially to honest enterprises. Mr.. Morton is
| a veteran manufacturer, and has built up
an extensive and permanent business, and
deserves the patronage of all.
BUILD WIGwAMs.-The difficulty in find
ing suitable rooms, in suitable places, fol
the meetings of Ward Clubs deters demo
Gratis from moving in the matter. Why not
build them? Plenty of democrats can b'
found in each ward who will contribute funds
to buy lumber, and plenty ofother democrat
who have vacant lots which they would give
the use of for such buildings, until they wish
to sell the lots or use them for other purpos
es. Let the Ward Committees 60 to work
then. and from the wealthy democrats solicit
funds, buy lumber and knock up a rough
board Wigwam, rough board floor, roof, &c.
cheap, stout, rustic affair, which viii holt
good many men. and in which they can hole
their committee and club meetings, do thei
party business for the Ward, and occasion
ally mass meetings of the Ward, for speech
es &c. &c. Let each Wigwam have stost
rough hickory pole, for flag, and then lie
the democrats rally around the flag, ant
manage their own affairs.
| If the Ward Committees will take hold o
| it, and the wealthy democrats of each ware
| will contribute literally, they can get thei
wigwams ready for use, in two weeks from
this date. They would then have War
Headquarters, and could carry on their par
| ty work independently, with no rent to pay
They need not put plane to a piece of TIT
lumber-make stout, rough work, and cheap
VIII the committees take the lead, rails
funds and get the work done, and call meet
| ings in their several Wards to organic
Ward Clubs? Now is the time to work
| Any delay may work failure.
