Round the Circle.

Round the Circle.
Our esteemed friend and editorial broth.
er of the DEBORAH Democrat, BOB. V.
SHUNLY was about here some days since.
He interviewed several railway towns be-
fore reaching our village, and in his very
best style set all of them on the road to
Immortality. Not content with making
their inhabitants blush in anticipation Of
their future greatness 1.-THE towns, we
mean) he dwells on McGREGoR and the
writer of this, with ponderosity which
is almost overwhelming. Bob. this TINES
Office and its attaches are "awful" in
"talent,' dreadful in example, and glor>
ious in precepts. Respect the former, be-
ware Of the next, and regard the latter as
you would cracked hickory nuts or cream
cd straw berries.
Reference to the writer Of this, is of u
very kindly character, and it may seem
egotistic to copy it, but if William B.
Allison can ,mploy The Western Month
ly to photograph his handsome face, ard
to biograph him for country copy through
out this distrct-if he can hire elaborate
puifs from the Springfield Republican, and
various other papers, showing that nobody
but William can fill a Senatorial chair in
Washington, why cannot ue indulge in a
trife of egos Allison failed in his aspir-
ations, though his praise was in advance.
We failed in ours before the praise came
in. Bon. you should have commenced
sooner, eh!
From thence we went to the river and
visited the Pocket City. Our first call, Of
course was to see our worthy father (edi-
torially) Pat. Richardson. No wonder
Pat. is popular and well thought Of lie
is genial, sociable, kind, benevolent and
talented always has smile for all-and
good advice for many. The Col. is gen.
Jus, in his way, and he makes the TINES
the most readable paper in the district.
The fathers Of Clayton County have se>
lected the TINES as thsir official organ,
| and it now has circulation Of over 5000
copies. They did wise. The Times, more
| than any other paper in this section, has
made the wealth and the business OF
Northern Iowa. For years it has heralded
the fertility Of the soil, and business pros
poets of this section. Upon it's recon-
mendation thousands have sought homes
in the fertile valleys and prairies of Iowa.
And now as it nears the existence of a
score, it is mete that the people of the
country. whom it has so long benefited,
should give portion Of the fruit it has
sewn. We hope the Times and its hon
orable proprietors will live long, vet, to
enjoy the happiness that two faithful
servants are deserving of. In a business
point of view, the North Iowa Times Office
is one Of the most complete in the coun-
try, to which is attach I'd first~class book
binIery. The work executed in the estab-
lishment is of the very best, and Nit.
Goddard, the foreman, is workman of
extraordinary ability. After long and
very sociable talk with the Col. we retired
and visited the far>famed son of Menus.
MIR. Muggins, whose laushable mistakes
are enough to make Bass laugh! He
holds forth at the Cambrian, which is pre-
sided over by that ''prince Of good fell
lows" Perry Waffle. The Cambrian is
one of the finest billiard halls in the State.
and under its present management is be-
coming very popular resort. We met
many friends in McGreyor, especially
among the railroad brotherhood. To Mr.
j. Palmer we are much indebted for at
tention, and feel proud Of our engagement.
Chas. EaIes, an-ther knight of the foot
hoard, also ''done' us proud and Mr..
Gates and Jamison, brother of our worthy
conductor. Gentlemen, we appreciate
your attentions and promise to reciprocate
in future. ss*E
