We regret to hear that an esteemed
friend, Mr.. LEWIS, senior, father Of FAY.
ErrE, DocroR GEORGE LEWIS, and NORMAN
all we'll known to McGregor, departed this
life at Counover on Sunday, May 10th.
We are not advised of particulars. Know
ing how strong the attachment was
between father and his sons, we sincerely
condole with the family Yes. Kayser,
late Of McGregor, is soliciting now for a
St. Louis House, F. j. Laitner, in the line
of Brushes of all kinds. X. is good
talker and he sells good brushes....."....
"Dia mond 10" is barging wheat below
and merchandise above, much to the det-
riment Of the established combination
lines. We are not mad much at the
success of t'Jo.'' Thank you, w. G.
WooD, General Freight Agent, Fulton,
ILL.,, for business favors not only compli~
! mentary to the TINES Office, but valuable
to it also.
''Goirg east for the summer is the rage
at present. On Wednesday of this week,
Mrs. Jacobia with her children,
Mrs, Douglass and little boy, Mrs. r.
Grant and Miss Mollie, left us for Ohio,
New York, &c. &c......It is painful for us
to say that Milo Lacy, formerly of this
Office, then in the western cavalry service
of Iowa, then co-editor of the Fayette Co.,
Union, then of the Austin Democrat, is
dangerously sick with consum ption at
West Union. Relatives, living at Nc
'Gregor, were sent for on Tuesday to sec
him. We dread to hear from the sick
room of MILo......H. Ruble, lady and
Master "Rob," the dancist, with Mrs.
Robert Williams of North McGregor, left
town on Friday morning for Omaha on a
visit. We hope HENRY will not desert his
long time acquaintances in this region, for
the Indian countries of the west. THE
District Court is now in session at Elka-
der. Our business in Courts has generally
been as defendants, and not much OF that.
We never attend Courts unless earnestly
called for.
IT'S pleasant to acknowledge the kind
nesses of the little folks we were all
'slittle'' once, and there are few in the
world who are very great yet. Burt
BAKER, one of the best of boys, thought of
Ms in his rambles Ger the hills, and
Drought to the TINES Office nice boquet
of early wild flowers. We thank the young
gentleman, and trust that his rem embrance
of friends will return to him in personal
advantages years to come. A little lady.
whose name is "Jennie," also favored us
with beautiful handful Of wild flowers.
May our young friend be forever blessed !
These small attentions are not like post
Office appointment, but they are infinitely
more valuable to the heart. Friends of
f. f. Elmendorf-and they are legion
ask us the address of that late McGregor-
lite: it is l6S Washington Street, Chicago,
Commission business. Safe.
A pair of velocipede gentlemen came
here last week and. opened school at the
Cambrian. After few exhibitions of the
nonsense, the people said nuisance and
the affair died. The McGregor delegates
to Gutenberg were charged only halt-fare
,on the steamer Davenport. They request
ms to give thanks to the officers. Lamp
son e. Co. will have a Soda fountain in
operation by Monday next......... HENRY
KoHS, Of Phil, has been about our city
for several days, cnlivening his many
friends with the geniality which all the
kohns seem to possess. Henry is The old
bachelor Of the House.. ....... Prof. White,
the State Geologist, gave us the pleasure
Of call in company with Senator Newell
on Monday evening. We had met the
Prof. before, and we found ;him almost an
old acquaintance. An hours' chat came
near turning the writer into geologist... ..
On Friday last, Michael Katzky, youth
of Is, was playing about the bin of his
fathers warehouse, on Bluff ST., while the
wheat was being discharged to a barge
trusting too much to temerity he was
drawn into the wheat delivery or whirl-
pool and instantly smothered. His parents,
Michale Katzky and lady, have the sym
pathy of the city. The body of the little
boy was sent to the Hebrew cemetery at
Milwaukee.
'Garabaldi'' of New York, is in town,
on . western social and businness trip.
lie is better looking than ever. We are
always glad to meet our 1856 friend, A.
II. SrkoUsE. lie represents strong
house in the Manhattan City, and proba-
~ has as many acquaintance as any trav-
elling man that walks, drives, rides or
swims through the west. Why not,
Mr.. Chriss Norman write to your boys
Of the Committee of Arrangements, to
meet At a Hall.on Monday evening next, and
fix up for first rate comic display on the
Fourth. We may as well be alive as
dead. Death is sure to come, and while
We hsvs Life let us make profit of it,.
4 small house is for rent on Giard Aven-
Me. Inquire about it of the first man you
meet: we have forgotten the name of the
advertiser.
Our new Advertisements demand close
overhauling. Several were handed in at
4 late hour, and we cannot give the houses
large notice this week. Look at them
and examine the stocks they hold. 1t
is proper that every one should do our
friend Douglass the iHstice to read his
