Look out! When Picker says thing
he means it every time. He is just
now finishing up his new store room
on Main street, and we shall not be
surprised to wake up one of these fine
mornings and find it all in complete
running order, and packed full of
Groceries ofthe choicest kind, which
will be sold as cheap as any house in
the city can sell. He will still carry
on business at his old stand on Green
street; but has found it necessary for
want of room to build branch to
his business, and enable him to sell at
still lower prices than ever. AS he
is one of the oldest Retail dealers in
the city, and as the old year is fast

just approaching, we feel thankful TO

charge about Ben Butler stealing
Twiggs' sword and silverplate:
'It is understood to be stated on
authority that the Twiggs swords,
for which Gen. Butler has been sued
by young woman, not a niece OF
Gen. Twiggs, were in 1862 sent to
officers of the U. S., and are in the
Treasury. The silver plate mention
ed as appropriated by Gen. Butler
was turned over to the Quartermas-
ter and sold under Banks admins
tration, and the money has gone into
the Treasury of the us. Gen. Bnt-
Ter was applied to to use his infu-
ence to have Twiggs' sword returned,
and was told he would be sued if he
did not. He refused to interfere.-
Suit is brought and published for
political effect. The swords and box
of silver ware were under the wing
Of house. This woman, it was as
serted at the time, to be Twiggs'
mistress.

Editor COURIER

Editor COURIER:
Your article in
Saturdays issue on "The Situation"
was timely and to the point.
| have also noticed your remarks
upon the now Railroad project north,
and believe il to be practicable and
worthy Of the attention Of our citi-
zens. But ore Railroad at time
is the best for us. If we agitate two
Roads at once, we shall surely loose
both. What we want Is to secure that
great project that you so diligently
and ably presented to our people, and
which is now knocking at the door
Of Ottumwa and Fairfield for perma-
nent admission, easy terms, its i'm
portance being duly considered.
Let us look over the ground from
its commencement, to enable us to
better understand the rresent status
OF that great through route from
Ocean to Ocean, of which this pro-
ject (the c. as. W. RR.) is link in
the chain. When this matter was
first presented to us we hardly be-
lieve it would ever be built. But a
Company was soon formed, subscrip.
tons for stock was called for. and af
ter great labor, trouble and expense
a large amount Of stock has been OBJ
tanned: Then came the mortgages
upon the road and sale of bonds to
the amount OF Five Million Dollars.
This being accomplished, the money
lies on deposit, contracts let, and
here we arc at the present. Now
the company must locate and go to
work at once. Now we have only to
look into the immediate future to see
our destiny.
President Winston held confer
ence with a few of our citizens last
week, and left disappointed, neither
making any proposition or promises.
He visited the Fairfield people next
day, who offered him additional
pledges II that (our great rivaD route
was adopted, upon which the Presi-
dent ordered the survey to be made
from Columbus City to Fairfield and
the right Of scay procured as they go.
This much is positively known. Was
a bargain closed in Fairfield last
week is the question Is Fairfield
and Bloomfield to have this great
Railroad highway, and we shelved
with a branchroad via Sigourney, and
that in the dim distance? Can o.
tumwa, Washington and Centerville
fold their arms and look quietly on
the situation? No! no! Let OF
tumwa arouse, send out her citizens
on the entire line, saying every
where, we wiN have the road, we
cannot afford TO loose it. Send q
strong force to Washington. Our
interest is their interest. $4,000
more is required to fulfill our pledge
ands40, 200 more is required TO pay for
the right Of way across the State to
such persons as will be materially
damaged. Let us have action at
once. 1t can only be too late when
dirt begins to fly south of us.
The eyes of the whole State are
upon us. Are we equal to the emer-
gency? or must our spectators laugh
and write shame upon the brow of
every man, woman and child living
