Of the party which started out from

beginning at Abba. More men are

Division will be done in about two
weeks, IL the weather is favorable.

SINGULAR CAsE.--A somewhat Pc
culiar petition was presented to the
Trustees OF Knoxville Township last
week, Of which the circumstances are
thus told us: A young married woman
living near town was on a visit East
a short time ago, and during her re-
turn trip the cars stopped few min
utes mt some place In Indiana, where
woman entered, with baby and a
sachel, and took seat in the coach by
the side of the young Knoxville lady.
In minute or SO after taking her
seat, the Indiana woman seemed
suddenly to remember something
that she had forgotten, and she
asked the Knoxville lady If she would
please be SO kind as to hold the baby
while she stepped out Of the car for a
minute. Knoxville lady consentnd
readily, and took the baby i'm her
arms. Indiana woman stepped out,
leaving baby and sachel behind her.
So n few minutes passed, and then
another few minutes--and Indiana
woman didn't return. Finally our
traveller took baby and sachel and went
In search Of the missing parent, but
without success. She remained in
the town over night, and got mum
Der Of citizens to search for the woman
but no woman could be found who
wanted the baby and the carpet-sack
Then the carpet-sack was opened, and
found to contain only rags and trash.
Knoxville lady perceived that she had
been victimized. She came on home,
and brought the baby with her; and
the petition presented to our TIP.

We believe they did not feel it their

Ia last Thursday evening, we went up
to the College and had the pleasure OF
hearing Prof Cotton's Glass in re-
hearsal of the Cantata of the Hayma-
kers, which they will perform in
Concert in Pella In about three weeks,
at which time we would heartily
recommend the music-loving citizens
of Knoxville and vicinity to go over
and hear and enjoy it, and see what
town can do which has no better adj
vantages than Knoxville has, but
which has improved them better.
Possibly it might stir us up alittle
toward more healthy and beneficial
emulation in musical matters.
And the PeIla folks are doing their
part toward the County Musical Con-
vention. They have good, working

are promised from Des MOines, New

everything promises fair thus far.
The only question over In Peila
seemed to be, What is Knoxville
doing?" We all know that the Con

great benefit to the-County. Let us
do our part to make the next one still
