FURNITURE RooMs.--A look thro'
the extensive furniture rooms OF
Martin White Il Co., will convince
any one, and all, that Cedar Falls
may claim one of the most complete
establishments Of the kind i'm North
ern Iowa. Aside from a large stock
of home manufacture, they keep q
full supply of the best of eastern
make, so that none may go from
their store wanting what they not
find there. They are manufacturing
bureaus which are not behind the
eastern make, and i'm many features
are superior. So complete are their
facilities for manufacturing, and
their advantages for purchasing In
the eastern markets, that their pri-
ces are such as to make 1t an object
to purchase Of them, rather than
send to the dealers In Chicago. Mar
tin White, having gone into the pot
terry trade, has left the eutire man
agement to Mr.. Stearns, one of the
firm, whose gentlemanIy bearing,
long experience I'm the business and
fair dealings, eminently fit him to
carry on successfully an establish
ment like this.
All desiring furniture will find
just what they want by calling there.

MATRIMONIAL TRoUBLEs.-An ed
itor says that a man i'm New York
got himself into trouble by marrying
two wives. A western editor replies
by assuring his contemporary tina: q
good many men have go. into troub-
lie by marrying one. A northern ed
itor reports that quite number oil
his acquaintance come to grief by
barely promising to marry without
going any farther. A southern edi-
itor says that friend of his was
bothered enough when simply found
In company with another mans
wife, and bachelor friend of ours
got into a 'short row of stumps''
(figuratively speaking of course) for
merely asking three or four women
to marry him. Verify this is q world

SORGHUM MANUFAcToRY.-M essrs.
Bishop & Bancroft of this city, have
fitted up sorghum mandatory
near Mr.. Bishops residence, at q
cost of over $500 and are turning out
about so gallons day. They expect
to make over 5000 gallons this season.
The sorghum which they manufac-
ture is of a superior quality, pro-
nounced so by good judges. More
cane was raised this season, than any
year previous, and we believe 1t will
soon come into m are general use in
Iowa as it has in many of the states
farther cast. The facilities for max
ing have been much improved, and
the old adage that "practice makes
perfect" will become IA much of q
truisni i'm the manufacture OF sorghum
as anything else, a few years more
will see large amount of money
saved by our farmers in the produc-
tion of sugar cane. *a##a8

OYSTER SUPPER.-The oyster sup
per at the Nj. f. Church, last Friday
evening, given by the ladies of the
society, was quite complete In its ar
rangement, and passed off with gen.
eral satisfaction. The tables were
spread with everything that ones ap-
elite could desire, the attendance
equal to expectations, and the gross
receipts encouraging to those who
had labored so faithfully to make it a
success. Upwards of $4,000 was re-
allied, to apply on the purchase of an
organ for the Sabbath School, the
purpose for which the supper was in
tended.

Cedar. Valley Fair.


The twelfth annual exhibition of
the Cedar Valley Agricultural and
Mechanical Park Association will
open on Tuesday the 18th of this
month, lasting four days.
The time Is near at hand and we
trust that our farmers have already
made their arrangements to attend
en- masse, with their stock, farming
produce and vegetables.
While the political campaign I'm
which We are now engaged Is an inn
portant one, 1t should not cause us to
forget these annual exhibitions. 1t
Is the school of the farmer, and 1t ia
important that every one should go
and show his neighbor what he has
done, exchange ideas and become &C.
uuainted with the latest improve
ments. Besides every one owes to
himself these few spare moments xs
holidays after the tolls of the sum-
mer. We are glad to see these exhi-
billions growing more general each
year, and that the people are becom-
ing educated up to the importance of
attending and of doing all i'm their
power to make them success. Ger
tainly no year has been more favor
able than this for an agricultur-
oil exhibition. Our fair this year
promises to be greater success than
the one held last season on the. old
ground. The new grounds which
have been purchased and fitted up,
are in every respect so much better
as to add greatly to the interest of
the exhibition. The race track is
one of the best in the state, and the
officers have been untiring in their
efforts to provide suitable accommo-
dations.
A number of fast horses will be
present from abroad. The people of
the several counties included i'm the
Cedar Valley Association should
unite in their efforts, and we will
have this year an exhibition second
only to that of the State.

TRIP TO HUDsoN.-Business i'm the
direction of Hudson last week gave
us the privilege of few observn-
tions among the TURNER'S of that Sec
ton ofour county.
We noticed many good orchards
near Hudson, young, yet bearing the
evidences of cultivation and care.
We were shown by Byron Sergeant,
some very choice varieties of apples
on trees which he had set out but n
few years since. Although his or
chard Is small he has given attention
to his trees and will have about %
bushels of apples this year.
From careful observation we are
convinced that Black Hawk with
proper effort may be made q rich
county for fruit.
Black Hawk township Is one of
the best I'm our county, being well
settled with an industrious class of
farmers. On our way out we met
eleven teams I'm the space of two
miles going TO Cedar Falls with their
grain. These were mostly farmers
who had been In the habit heretofore
of going to Waterloo but had learne ed
to seek better market. We are
told by farmers living in the vicini-
ty OF Hudson, that they preferred to
to bring their wheat to the Falls for
the reason that onr grain men were
paying better prices than at other
points. But II Is evident from what
we saw and what was told us that the
roads In that direction are not I'm a
suitable condition for travel. Far
mers from Jockey Town complain OF
the ford across the Black Hawk and
the road leading to this place. A
few dollars spent upon the road run
ming directly south, and which is be-
ing extended to Tama County, would
yield triple interest. Good roads
are essential In order to draw trade.
We hope our business men will look
to this matter at once.

TAKEN IN AND DONE FORA Mr..
Otis living i'm Buchanan county, was
was taken in and done for, rs the
saying goes, last week by a travelling
wolf i'm sleeps clothing.
AS Mr.. o. was sitting down to his
evening meal a loud rap was heard
at the door; upon opening there stood
a man of comely proportions wearing
a sanctimonious expression on his
countenance, who upon representing
himself as belonging to the Metho-
dist persuasion, whose duty 1t was to
look up the lost sheep of the house of
Israal, was at once admitted to all
the hospitalities of his humble abode.
When supper came he was pro-
vided with seat of honor ut the FAM
lily board and humbly did lie invoke
the blessings to rest upon the family
am fervently implored thnt the
time would soon con- when the hosts
of Satan would be routed horse, foot
and dragons. After supper lively
conversation ensued during which
time this tumble" individual learn
ed that Mr.. Otis had upwards of sew
en- hundred dollars slowed away i'm
his bureau drawer. Upon learning
this he was soon ready to retire and
was shown his room where the mon
ey was slowed for safe keeping.
Morning came, and as the hands of
the clock pointed to the hour of sew
en-, with reverend tread Mr.. Otis APP
preached the chamber of his guest to
arouse him for break fast smoking
hot upon the table. He raped once
twice, thrice, each time little loud
er, but there was noresponse. Think.
ingshi guest might still he asleep,
Mr.. Otis cautiously opened the door
and peeped in, when 10, and behold,
the bed was empty, while fine gold
watch that had hung by the window
was not i'm its accustomed place. At
once terrible, dark suspicion took
possession OF his soul, and rushing
to the bureau he pulled open the
drawer and found that 1t was empty
also. Then the truth came upon
him I'm all its force. He had been
deceived, robbed, by a wolf i'm sleeps
clothing. Search was at once insti-
tinted for the missing man, but thus
far no traces have been obtained Of
his whereabouts. He had flown.

beyond hope of recovery and died in

covered that they were not married

citizens and aside from, the Library
Association. AT the last iaeeting OF
the Association, 1t was decidci by
the officers that the high prices ask
ed by the lecturers would compel
them to forego assuming the Icspon-
sibility another season. We hope.
however, that their decision will not
debar our citizens from enjoying an
intellectual feast again this winter.
from six of the best public lecturers
i'm the country.
Tho association lost nothing last
winter, but received no pecuniary
benefit. We think there should be
lecture association organized to act
independently of the Library Asso-
citation. .,-
We have before us a circular an
nouncing the lecturers that will be
in the field. Their prices range from
$50 to $500. While al will admit
that their prices are much higher
than they should be, we must not be
behind our neighboring towns.
We hope our citizens will act
promptly i'm this matter, that such
lecturers as are desired may be Oh
tanned. Ii can be made to pay oil
expenses, and if there shall be found
no surplus In the treasury at the
close of the course, the benefit to our
city arising from the influence that
1T will have, will more than pay for
the trouble that it may cause. Several
towns in the State have already
made up their list.
