vice and opinions on the above subject:
County papers must be priated and
published i'll the county to permit them
to pass through the mails under Sec
ton PSI, Laws of 1866. a paper, one
half of which is printed in another coun
ty does not come within the meaning

The effect OF this ruling will be to
obligc tho Postmaster to collect post
age on county papers which have one
side printed in Chicago or Milwaukee
And we understand that the Postmas-
ter here will act in accordance with the
above ruling. Subscribers therefore,
OF the Citizen will hayeNo pay two

lcge OF reading that paper, and readers
OF the Leader must pay forty cents adj

AT the time the Citizen contcnded
that d. Arb & Co., had established
their Head quarters at Tama City,
We surmised that our worthy brother
was laboring under a mistake. Re
cent events justify our supposition.
The experience OF Messrs. Arb Il
Co., Furniture Dealers, at Tama City,
has not inspired them with much con-
fidence in the business location OF that
place. They did not pay expenses,
and they have now returned to Tolc-
do, where their Headquarters have
always remained, and propose to fight
it out on that line.
We confidently invite all in want,
or soon to be III want, of Furniture OF
any description to visit their Sale
Rooms, south of the Court House, and
give their stock a thorough cxanina-
ton. If YOU do not then purchase,
it will be evident that you are not

Schools.

liy Dear Friends: 1t is a fact, though
a fact hard to be accounted for, that
many Sunday schools, especially III
country districts, close in the tall, and
sometimes remain closed far INTO the
spring. Why: Is Bible instruction
| less valuable or less needed i'll winter
than in SUMNER
"Are souls less precious, or is Ia
bors for their conversion less duty:
Do the word, the flesh, and the devil,
cease to allure and to destroy: Do
sickness and death cease their work:
Are all sure OF renewed opportunity
next year? To ask these questions
suggests the answer.
Why shoala the vork cease? You give
especial care OF your common school
~ riater; get the best teachers, and
expect the largest attendance and the
best interest
Literary Societies, Lyceums, Lee
lures, all literary and educational
movements are in full and successful
operation in winter.
In social lite it is the same. Social
gatherings Tor purposes OF amusement
or profit, or both, are multiplied and
well sustained. All is lie now.
"Christians multiply their meetings
and efforts for their own and Others

too many OF us oniy--in winter. Il is

else is active, why should the Sunday

four years, the first for nearly twelve and the
others for nearly ski desire to present to
your readers the teaching of my experience
viz:--There are MANY kinds of sewing ma
chimes that are not worth tic room they occu-
py--a FEW that DO good service for these wlo
have the ability 10 manage and keep them in
order; and but ONE that is always in order al
ways ready for service, and that aiwaye gives
satisfaction. This machine uses 4 single
thread, makes the twistea-loop stitch. ana
never fails in making it. 1t is called the
Wilcox 6 GIBBS Sewing Machine, and is SUI
perior in simplicity durability, ease of man
agement, certainty Of operation and beauty
of lis work, to any other that | have seen.
The work done by this Machine has shown
greater strength and durability than that
done by machines making any other kind OF

Another Rail Road Project.

That northern Tama County IS a
rich and bounteous one, and richly de-
serves rail road, cannot be denied
Southern lama has its rail road, and it
is tair that northern lama should fare
equally as sumptuously. The project
of road from AckIey ria Grundy Cen
tire and Buckingham to Ninton, thence
by Marion and Anamosa to the Mis-
sissippi has been talked of for some
time. The project was TOO good one
to die still born. 1t deserved to live.
Accordingly rail road meeting was
held at Grundy Center on the Goth
Of Oct. and Company Organized
The name given to the anticipated
road is "I'he Iowa Division Of the
| Western Union Rail Road" a tenn
porary organization was effected, as
follows:
Presidcnt-Jessc Foster, Of Ackley.
lce-President--E Elias Marble, of
Grumpy.
Sccretary-A. c. Peckham, of

The Citizen records the departure
from Tama City Of a load Of collins, de-
st,ncd for Toledo, and fears that some
accident has Occurred on the Plug.
This shows conclusivcly the vrtuous
character ofTama City citizens. They
propose to take Time b, the forclock,
blind the old chaps eyes andthen clude
the edge of his scythc. We hope they
may live forever. The joke in regard
to the accident on the Toledo end Of
the Plug is remarkably well.tlmcl
