but nary thing of the kind have they
forwarded yet. How is it? OF course
a report of all proceedings could not
be published; but certainly your dis

ideas and opinions, and some we'll
proven and valuable bits of experience
and information, that ought to be

it SO, and shall gladly welcome any

TRIBUTE TO Gov. SToNE.-The In
dianola Journal of the 14th inst,
comes to US with the following edito-
rial marked. 1t Is the just tribute Of
an old Ohio acquaintance Of the Gov
ernOr's:
We see that Ex-Gov. VIM. Stone Is
spoken of as a candidate for Congress
in his District. Gov. Stone is certain
" one among the strongest statesmen
in Iowa, and we doubt whether there
can be found in his District any man
better qualified for the position of
ngressman-certain none better,
II there is any as well qualified, which
we doubt. In his old home in Ohio,
where we are acquainted, in his
youthful career as lawyer, he was
looked upon as q man Of superior
ability. As q soldier and statesman,
he has made for himself a fine reputa.
ton in Iowa. None more ready to
respond to the call to defend his cOun-
try than he--nOne more patriotic
none more tireless in his energy to
crush out rebellion. As q statesman
he has shown ability Of high order,
and If nominated and elected to Con-
gress. will take his place along side OF
the political stars Of the first magni-
tude- will be an honor to his District
an honor to Iowa's delegation In the
Halls of Legislation.

MINERAL RESOURCES are
among those who believe that the
mineral resources Of this County are
not confined to coal and stone. From
various sources we have learned of in
dications at least of other wealth. On
the prairie between here and Pella,
and in the Des Moines timber between
here and Pella, are indications of iron
ore. Mr.. Conwell tells US that on
Whitebreast creek, little north of
west Of Knoxville, there is fine min
eral paint, beautiful yellow and white,
and also heavy bed of iron ore. A
deposit Of red mineral paint Is found
about three miles northeast OF Knox
vile. Fire-clay is abundant. The
trouble is that we have here no Geolo-
gists and Mineralogists to determine
the value Of the indications Of various
mineral resources which are go plenti-
full here.

ENTITLED TO PENsIoNs.-Iti is a fact
not generally known, that all provost
marshals, deputy provost marshals,
and enrolling officers who were d.
rectIy or indirectly disabled while in
their line Of duty, and also the heirs
of the same, are entitled to pensions.
In some sections of the country II was
not an unusual occurrence for enroll
ing officers especially to be attacked
and often seriously injured while on
business pertaining to the draft, and
such duty was not unfrequently con-
sidered quite ms hazardous as that of
soldiers In the front. The justice of
providing for the pensioning Of such
persons is quite apparent. bat that
such provision has been made b by no
means generally known. Another
provision In our pension laws that is
also not generally understood is, that
children undersixteen years OF age are
entitled to pensions on the re-rparriage
of the widow.-Register, 10Th INST.

SOLDIERS REUNION.-At n meeting
of the Executive Committee of the
Iowa Soldiers Reunion, held ut the
Slavery House, Des Moines, on the
18th of April, 1870, the various diff
culties and objections to June LIST for
Reunion" were considered.
The more important objection was
the short time intervening between
this date and June lst, to perfect the
arrangements for the large numbers
which 1t Is now ascertaiDed will be
present on the occasion, and the prob
able difficulty In providing sufficient
tents by that date. 1t was also urged
that we should probably be unable to
secure the attendance of several dis
tinguished invited guests until later
In the year. These objections, with
various others, were duly considered,
and 1t was then unanimously
Resolved, That the Iowa Soldiers
Reunion be postponed to the last day
of August and the first day of Sep
TENDER next.
Resolved, That the programme for
the occasion be prepared and pub
lished In the newspapers ut as early
day MS practicable.
Rtsolved, That the newspapers OF
the State be requested to publish these
proceedings. N. i. BAKER,

NOTICES TO SUBsCRIBERs. AS the
time June lsD draws nigh when all
the County papers are to be discon-
tinued except to Subscribers who have
paid up aud In advance, we are as fast
AZ possible sending to each one OF our
patrons a Notice showing how his
Subscription Account stands. We
trust that our friends will receive
these gentle reminders in a kindly
spirit. The papers must absolutely be
stopped on the LIST Of June unless paid
in advance; and we do not deem that
1t would be right to stop them without
sending these Notices first.
Now, kind reader, suppose one of
these Notices comes to you this week.
II yours were the only one, it would
amount to perhaps but little; but there
are several hundred such amounts
now due us, and we need them. Is
not the Notice courteously worded?
Is not the amount due? II there has
been any mistake made We will gladly
correct 1t. Now, every paper that We
send out costs us just $l.15 cash per
year. before We do q stroke of work on
it ourselves. Add now the cost of our
work OH 1t, and you will readily see
that we make little or nothing on
subscriptions. The JOtev is now
really very cheap paper at So year;
and we positively cannot afford to
send 1t out except for the pay in
advance. But you will observe that
the printed Notice attached to your
paper refers merely to what IL already
due up to the LIST of June. The amount
behind on your Subscription may be
but mere trifie, or 1t may be more.
In any case, may we not confidently
expect your prompt response:

MARYsvILLE CITIZENS MEETING
Many Of the enterprisiDg citizens Of
Marysville and community have for
some time been deeply mortified at
the dilapidated condition of their
Cemetery. The parties owning the
contiguous land had generously dona-
ted enough of 1t to make the yard Of
the proper size; but as Marysvil'e is
not yet Incorporated, it could MT be
decided to the town; and since II was
under the direct control of no Que,
nothing could be done in the way of
improving it. TO remedy this, a Cit
liens Meeting was called, Friday
evening, April Sth, at the School,
house.
Meeting called to order at 8, by ap-
pointing Mr.. Croford Chairman, and
w. J. Shoup, Sec'y. Mr.. S. H. Young
stated the object of the meeting. Mr..
Runyon moved that the parties do
mating the land be requested to deed
it to the authorities Of the Lutheran
Church, and that 1t be for the use OF
the public. Carried. John Ely, S.
III. Young, H. Runyon and NJ. U.
Gortner were appointed as a Commit
tee to solicit subscriptions, for fencing,
&c. The Committee was also in
structed to examine the yard and
value the lots according to quality
and situation.
On motion, the School Board was
requested to have sidewalks con-
structed along the two sides OF the
School-house lots, adjacent to the
streets.
The Sec'y was instructed to send q
copy of the minutes Of the meeting to
each of the Knoxville papers, and to
