BRANDON is the name ola smart
little town in Buchanan county, about
cuui-distant from VintOn and Indcpcn-
dcnce We had call from business
man of that place last Friday, and learned
that they are now receiving goods by the
B. c. II. & NJ X. r. by way Of this place.
We mention this for the purpose of sug-
costing to our merchants that perhaps by
a little well directed effort thay may at
tract the trade of Brandon and its section
to this city Vnton Eagle.
In discussing from time to time, among
our business men, the importance of in
creased railroad facilities to our city, we
have been occasionally met with the oh
lection that the building Off railroads
would build up other towns in onr vicini
ty and thus divert from our city portion
of the trade which now falls to her share
The argument is weak one nasmuch as
it leaves out of the account, altogether
the immense home population and trade
which would result from the building of
other roads. But we copy the above to
show our oljectors that we shall need the
,,il Dad, and the advantages of compc-
tition in ficights and prices Of products
which it will bring to this market, to
keep the trade we have now. The turner's
If Brandon will go to Vinton to trade and
sell their products, unless We can present
them better inducements to come here.
IN no way can those inducements be so
eTec:ually and surely held out as by
mixing our city point of railroad COM

second page the Inv authorizing counties
to establish high schools. We hope
every reader will become acquainted with
its details, that he may be prepared to
act intelligently upon the proposition
when brought before him for his decis-
ion. Petitions will soon be in circula-
ton for the establishment of the 1nstitu-
ton in Independence. These petitions
will be presented to the Board of Super
visors at the January session. 1t seems
to us that no man who appreciates the
means of higher education which such a
school will afford, will fail to sign the
petition.

DEDICATION OF Coop TEMpLARs' HALL
In response to cards of invitation. pre-
yiously issued, the new Hall of Unity
Lodge of Good Tcmplars in Bur:s' new
block, was, on Friday evening of last
week, filled with happy and well dressed
company assembled to witness the cere-
monies of installation Of the new officers
of the lodge, and to assist in dcdicating
the new, spacious, and finely furnished
hall The officers installed are as fol-
lows:
w. C. T.-Rev. w. L. Hunter.
w. V. T-Mlss Hester White.
w. C.-Rev w. B. Phelps.
w. S-F L. Jacobs.
w. F. S-Worthy Wallace.
W. T.-Jas r. Toman.
w. MFRS. Addie Luckcy
W. G.-Miss frankie Hyde.
w. O. &C. Daubcr.
w. r. S.-Miss Emeline Jacobs.
w. L. S.-Miss Cynthia Dyer.
w. -A.S-Miss Anna Spencer.
w. d. M.-Daniel Burr.
After the installation ceremonies and
previous to the dedication, an appeal
was made for subscriptions to finish fit
ting up the Hall. This was most gcner-
ously responded to by those present,
$176 being raised in a short time The
cost of furnishing the Hall as it stands
at present is about 1865. OF this there
had been previously contributed by the
Lodge S24O So the subscription of the
evening pays off the Indebtedness and
leaves surplus for further use in the
same direction. The Hall being thus
freed from debt, was then dedicated to
the uses of Temperance, Morality and So
cial order, with ceremonies at once at
tractive and impressive. This part OF
the programme was highly rclishcd by
the audience, and at its conclusion all
separated with expressions of gratifica-
lion at the evenings entertainment.

A Card from Tabor 4 Irwin.

HR. ED1roR:
Dear Strive wish you to inform the public
through your paper. that in as much az our gentle
manly neighbor has concluded TO infringe on our
brand Of lead. tShipman's Strictly Pure Lead,) we
shall from this day sell the above lead ten cents
lower per can, than any will sell the same
band in this town. So get their lowest figures and
then come to us and get it for ten cents less. We
will give fifty dollars reward to any one who will
produce better article OF lead or one more strict
~ pure We will also sell oil as low AS any one,
and better article. and unlike the above neigh
Dor, we have never had to pay smart money, Tor
selling poor oil. [l6tf TABOR X IRWIN.
Tine reason why our celebrated perfected spec
taeles and Eye Glasses have met with such extra
ordinary success and are so mach in demand. Is
because they found to possess all the qualities
ws claim for them, viz:
Purity and hardness OF material therefore not
liable to scratchl bviliancy of finish. strengthen
in: and preserving power, and comforting an a.
mount of ease and comfort attained by no other
Glasses in the world. They are without doubt the
most perfect and scientifically accurate Lenses eN-
Or manufactured. and last many years without
change For sale only by j. 2. SAMPSON, sole

Robert X. White, aged rs years.
The deceased was for more than half a century
an active member of the Methodist Church. AL
though death came suddenly, without moments
warning, we have no doubt that he was fully ready
to enter into the "rcst that remaneth for the peo
pie of God" His life was an earnest, prayerfnl
one, and he needed no dcath-bed preparation for
the great change.
May we be also ready.
