The committee appointed to solicit
for this enterprise, report favorably,
and while they are working dillgent.
ly the people are. in most instances,
responding nobly. The farmers
south Of town are giving all the way
from $500 to $500 b aid in the con-
struetion of this important thorough
| fare. Last Tuesday evening a meet.
ing of the stockholders of the Iowa
Central was held at Council Hall, for
arrangement and adjustment of the
difficulties in the way Of the transfer
OF the old Iowa Central from Toledo
to Cedar Falls. Peter Melendy, d.

ances that the people of Tama coun-

Mr.. Street met the people of Toledo
last Monday evening, and they were
enthusiastic for a road. We all wan,

competing routes, and the time has
now come for us to grasp the opper.
tunity IL we will. Give us railway
connection with st. Louis and we
will no longer be under the dictation
of Chicago. We believe IL now re-
mains with our people to say wheth-
CIR the iron horse shall be snoring
into Cedar Falls from the south, by
next January. Let US all 60 to work

our part of the programme ere an

p For HALF THE PRrcE.--We are
permitted to copy the following ex-
tract from letter from resident of
California, to one Of our citizens lin
which the writer frankly admits,
that we can furnish the same for one
half what our California cousins are
asking.
From all accounts, you have Sc
lected a good State. Iowa has raised
mischief with us. We expected, as
soon as the great continental railway
was in operation that all the intel
ligence, and beauty Of the East would
move out here. Accordingly, many
benevolent men bought ~ all the
land they possibly could with their
swn capital. and what they could
borrow, and were holding 1t in readi-
ness to retail out 10 the new. corners
at "a fair remuneration"-w 10
Iowa must get up stories about anti.
consumption, lady asriculturists, and
all that, and succeeded in turning
the channel from It's neutral direc-
ton. It's tn the plan of the manou-
yer that "Uncle Abe" relate ed of the
Texas soldiers: One though. he had
secured a grand thing by stealing a
keg OF liquor, and placing it in the
hack OF his tent, commenced retail
ing at l0cts. a glass; lille the occu-
pant OF the next tent had penetrated
it, and retailed at five cents. The re-
suit IL, u great deal OF feeling In this
community especially for funds to
keep up credit"
