back in a chair and put his No. y.

from the late war, on our table, stuck q
stogie in his mouth, the lighted end Of
it coming SO close to his foreheand that
he was in danger Of setting his lovely

We told Blobbs that it came about in
this wise: Some years ago we we're
sent by q newspaper with which we
were connected to attend what was
called the United States Fair,
then held at Chicago, to report the do
ings thereof, and to get as much adver-

Among thelive stock there, we met

Artemus Ward-Henry Faxon, Of the
Buffalo Express; Len Faxon, OF the
Cairo Democrat; Nose Harra'l, Of the
Mound City Gazette; ALI. Burnett, oil
the Cincinnati Times, and many others
of the same cast and caliber. 1t was q
gay party, full of fun and as ready
for joke or a lark as any similar
number rapscallions in America.
The fair progressed nobly, and dur
ing its continuance We never left the
grounds. On Friday, the last day
there was to be an immense sensation
in the horse ring, atrot between Flora
Temple and Princess, that called ever,

INDEPENDENCE,
TO DELINQUENTS.

We intend about the first Of September tc
invest the BULLETIN in a spick and span
new sui: of clothes from top to toe. This
information, which no doubt will be vel
come to all the readers Of this paper, is ad-
dressed particularly to those delinquent for
subscription, advertising and job work, for
the reason that we expect their valuable as
sistance in the matter. The new habili-
ments will cost money, considerable
amount of money, large part of which
must come from our outstanding accounts.
We hope our backward friends will, appre-
ciating the fact that the BULLETIN cannot
bloom and fructify without their falling dues
(dews) and, not standing on the order of
their coming, come right up and settle those
little accounts which individually insignif-
can, to them, represent in the aggregate to
us more than enough to pay for the new
dress. Our friends will please remember
that we do not often make appeals of this
kind and give this one their early attention.
We notice the familiar face of p. A.
Older upon our streets. We presume the
Cardiff giant is not mere than a State or
two in the rear.

ANCHOR LIFE INSURANCE Co.-The card
of this new and popular company will be
found on this page. The company is built
upon the foundation Of the ~. S. Life ard
casualty Co.," but has abandoned the acct
dent business, and is working in the line OF
life insurance only. 1t has some peculiar
features which make it more satisfactory
company than most others Of its class. One
Of these is that it always guarantees IN tic
policy What it represents. 1t is in the hands
of men Of the highest integrity and financial
ability, and we are convinced that the par
ties who insure with it will not have cause
to regret their choice of company. We
have given evidence of our faith by insuring
in the "Anchor,' and advise our friends to
examine its advantages and if convinced,
do likewise. The agent in Independence is
T. II. Clark, formerly acting in the same
capacity for the Etna Life. His office is
with j. S. Woodward, Esq.

A Card from Tabor ~ Irwin.

INDEPENDENCE, Iowa, May Is, 1870.
Mr.. EDITOR
Dear Sir We wish you to inform
the public through your paper, that in as
much as our gentlemanly neighbor has con
cluded to infringe on our brand of lead,
(Shipman's Strictly Pure Lead, we shall
from this day sell the above lead ten cents
lower per can, than any one will sell the
same brand in this town. So get their low.
est figures and then come to us and get il
for ten cents less. We will give fifty dol
lars reward to any one who will produce a
better article of lead or one more strictly
pure. We will also sell oil as low as any
one and better article, and unlike the
above neighbor, we have never had to pay
smart money for selling poor oil.
