HURRAEE FOR Seymour & Blair
III 1t being reduced to a certainty that
the above named gentlemen will be successful
in the coming election, they, in regard for past
services of the Senior member of this firm, (he
being we'll and favorably known as statesman
and public benefactor). have offered him a seat
in their cabinet. Said partner, therefore, con-
templates retiring from the dry goods business.
In doing so he is making great sacrifice of his
own interest, but, as patriot and statesman, he
does not feel justified in declining the honor, par
ticularly at the present crisis. when our country
stands in need of good and true men to save her
from ruin and destruction.
We will, therefore, from this day. offer our en-
tire stock of goods, not less than $4,000 worth,
AT PRIME COST AND CARRIAGE,
FOR CASH,
consisting principally of Dress Goods of all de-
scriptons, -

For Charity's Sake.


With heart of cast-iron
And Bessemer nerves,
From few forms of danger
Your bachelor swerves;
But of trials that beset him
The greatest by far
Are the perils attending
A Fancy Bazaar.
Those Gardens Botanic
/ faced without dread,
Not a notion of buying
Came into my head;
Since had not want,
Why on earth should l fear
If their nothings were cheap, or
Their nothings were dear?
Delicious Arcadia
''Sweet garden of girls,r'
How pleasantly crowded
One eddies and whirls
And is tempted by Hours,
By Perls enrapt;
Still in danger of trapping
But never entrapt u
So unused, while my heart
A flint I could feel,
And my Bessemer nerves
The perfection of steel;
When voice sweetly tender,
A soft pleading eye,
Caused both to surrender
With Come! you will buyW
Twas an anti-macassar
A thing I detest;
They slip from ones sofas,
Ones feet they infest,
They wisp and they tumble,
Any each its part plays
In the torture attending
A bachelors days.
"Yet the price," 1 inquired,
mot much,' she replied.
"And wherefore? With bushes
Her dimples were dyed;
And her answer had wheedled
A churl of his pelf-
I cannot ask much, as
l made it-myselfw
Now, how could a proffer
Like this be declined?
Those eyes had bent Ter it,
Those fingers entwined;
Of its knots and its meshes
Each secret she knew;
Meath the sun of her smiles,
Pretty blossom, it grew
And could / refuse it?
The answer is clear;
I clutched at the treasure,
And still hold it dear;
P'raps the price that [ paid
Was sufficiently high,
But-when Charity prompts
IT'S duty to buy!

A Good Joke.

The Chicago Times concludes notice of the
great Radical izzle in that city last week with
the following description ola novel combination
of politics and business:
There was considerable number of trans
parencies carried in the procession, the most
prominent of which read somewhat as follows !:
GARDENERS RHEUMATIC COMPOUND CURES
THE ITCH.
This led the procession, and provoked con-
siderable conjecture as to what it was there for
The most feasible way of explaining it was that
Gardiner had offered to furnish the oil for the
torches, on condition that he should be allowed
to advertise his invention among SO many who
stood in such sore need oft. Upon the opposite
side of the transparency the inscription was in
distinct; but, with some difficulty, it was made
to read thus:
GRANT AND CoLFAX USE IT. ..-
Gas loyal men, of course, would not refuse to
do what their gallant leaders do, it was big
thing for Gardiner. With this exception there
was nothing remarkable about the procession

A VERY REMARKABLE FAM1LY.-Perhaps
it is not generally known, says the Montezuma
Qowa) Republican, that veritable old gentleman
known as the ''oldest inhabitant'' resides in our
country. His name is William Prosser. He
resides in Washington township, about four
miles from Grinnel and is now in his ninety
fourth year. He was one of the first settlers in
this part of the country, and from present ap-
pearance bids fair to be resident of the coun-
ty for some years longer Mr. Prosser served
as an artilleryman during the war of 1912, and
was in the battles Of Lundy's Lane and Fort
Erie. He is still quite vigorous, and will walk
three or four miles with ease He has never
received pension, but noo thinks of applying
for one His mothers family were not long
lived, but on his fathers side they lived to
great age. His fathers mother was married
twice, and her second husbands name was Van
Camp. They lived in Northampton Pa She
lived to the age of l IA years. and raised to man
hood and womanhood twenty children. Among
them were three pairs of twins, the last pair
being born after she was sixty years of age
New, if anybody's grandmother can beat that,
just let them speak out The old lady evident
ly had a penchant for twins, which appeared to
run into old age. She was undoubtedly de-
cendant of Mrs. Sarah Abraham, who is spoken
of in ancient history as being the happy mother
of little Isaac in the ninety first year of her age.

Radicals Distrusting the Negroes.

Hunnicutt but discloses the growing distrust of
the negro amongst Radicals in imploring the
colored people to stay away from Conservative
and Democratic meetings He shows timidity
and fear of the independent spirit of the negro
by assuring him that he is Free and has
right to go to what public meetings he pleases.
But then the tender regard Hunnicutt entertains
for the ''eolored people" his duty as their pc
culiar shepherd compels him to warn them a
gainst going where they will hear anything but
Radical opinions preached by Radical Office
hunters-not that he fears they will be influence
ed to change their views-oh, no, that is the
last of his fears; but he is afraid they will be
provoked, and say something that will bring on
a row! This is the hypocritical pretence OF the
reverend gentleman who wants no word to enter
the negro ear but that which is uttered by his
mouth. If the negroes cannot behave them
selves now, it is because Hunnicutt and Wells
have taught them bad manners. 1t is probable
that notwithstanding this selfish and hypocritic-
al advice of Hunnicutt the negroes will 90 to hear
whom they please and we have no idea that
they will disturb public meetings It is much
more probable that they will one day break up
carpet baggers' meetings than that they will
disturb meetings of the white people of Vir-
ginia.
