Tama County against the world.
In one particular, we arc confident
the county of Tama can beat the
the world; that is, in having q news
paper published within its bounda-
ries one third Of which is printed At
Chicago or Milwaukee?-one third
at Des Moines, and the balance at-a
town in Tama County. We have
never heard of parallel to this.

/ Tho Regular September session of
the Board Of Supervisors will be held
next Monday. The session can hard
ly be lengthy one, perhaps less than
q week. This is the last business
sessionlof the Board as at present
constituted. It will meet in Octo.
Der after the election to canvass the
returns, but little other business will
be done then.
The officers Of the Board are y. A.
Hall, President, and Thomas S. Free,
Clerk.

was NOT supplied with . mail, except
. private service from Buckingham.
The friends Of Gov. Stone said il was
the work Of Judge Loughr,dge and
Mr.. Council. As Judge Joughridge
wanted their votes il 10 difficult tosee
why he should injure them. The
Contract Office was written too IN
relation 70 tho subject. Hon. G.. A.
smith, Second Asst, r. M. G., an
swered August 18th, that the change
was made for reasons Of ECONOMY
and no other; that the revenue Of
that Office would not pay one half Of
the extra expense OF supplying them
by Toledo route; that Judge Tough.
ridge asked to have that Office en-
braced in Toledo route, and was re
fused, because the Office could be
supplied at less expense by the La
Porte City route, which was done;
that the Judge again wrote, express
ing disappointment, and again asking
that It be embraced in Toledo route,
and was refused. And that was. all
the communication received from
Judge Loughndge on the subject,
and that none were received from
Mr.. Cornell. The letter can be seen
at our Office by any ono.
COUNTY PRINTING.
l notice the "Citizen" has the Tax
List this year. As it is supposed that
tho circulation Of the "REpuBLrcAx"
is far greater than that Of the "Citi-

apparent. Il your circulation deer eas.

SUNDAY SCHOOL CONVENTION.
I The Semi-annual session Of the
County S. S. Convention Is TO be
held here. probably during the last
week OF September, unless there will
be larger attendance from the south
side of the county than there was
last September. the Autumn session
had better be dispensed with. The
editor OF the "REpUBLlcAx," and
Mr.. Coll, OF lama, being all that was
interested inSonday Schools from tho
south side sufficient to devote one
day to their advanccmet.
DELICATE CONVENTIONS.
As the Congressional Convention
has passed, and delegates from a GER
tain county, said to be elected and
instructed to vote for q certain man,
and as it was IN their power to have
elected the man they were pledged
for on the first ballot, and they did
not so vote, and SO the people are liza
bic to be SO betrayed at any time
from the nature OF the epstem, now
is good. time to enquire if there is
not better system for nominatinos
than the old. If SO, what is it,

A minnesotn Town.

This is how they do things in Duluth {:
On the oath of April of this year there
was not lumber enough in the town of
Duluth to build more than one house
and the entire population, all told,
numbered but ITO souls. Since that
time 100 buildings have been erected,
amsng them one hotel, the Clark House,
costing $4,000. and another, the "Bay-
View" costing $4,000; an Episcopal
Church which cost $4,000, and is complet
ed and organized ,and is a beautiful struc-
ture; q Presbyterian Church of large
size and modern design, which when
completed will cost some $500; twenty
six stores, all of which are occupied and
we'll stocked with goods; eighty-fve
dwelling houses, about one-half of
which are of commodious size, and one
steam planning mill. Blacksmith and
carpenter shops are quite numerous. A
brewery has been erected in Minnesota
Point, q mile belew Franklin Square.
The demand for teams is unabated,
and a span of horses and q wagon
readily command S. per day; labor
ers, 80 dollars per month and board;
carpenters from 81 to 50 per day. The
demand for real estate during the past
month has been active, and sales made
at advanced prices. A lot 35165 feet. on
Superior street, has been sold for S1700
cash; four lots on First street for 500
each, and other lots at about the same
rates. $4,000 cash was bid for fifty
average lots on what is known as the
Nettleton tract, in Duluth proper, and
declined. This is 500 dellars per lot for
average lots.
