the southern and eastern states, has
been visiting our city, with a view
to establish a depot somew here i'm
this part of Iowa for his stock, for
future introduction among Iowa
farmers. He ia attracted to this part
of the country on account of its geo.
graphical location, as i'm reference to
the rest of the State, and also for
the facilities which, when the b.,
c. r. & M. r. r. is finished, will be
, offered shippers, and principally be-
cause the demand of farmers in this
region for better blooded stock seems
to promise him q harvest in his field
of usefulness.
He has brought with him "a speci-
mems, two thorough bred short-horn
Durham bulls, one of which is but
a year old and weighs over 900
pounds. This fine animal is deep
handsome red color, and is a fault
less specimen of the brute creation,
and shows his breeding i'm every
limb, and in every other particular
as per the herd book.
The other animal is three years
old, is red and white, and weighs
over ] 800 pounds.
After they have been exhibited for
a few days to the farmers of this vi
cinity, Mr.. Bradshaw will dispose of
them at fair prices and return home
to Kentucky land should our wealthy
farmers talk business to him suf1i>
GENTLY to encourage him in the en-
terprise he will return in the spring
with few car loads of the finest selec-
tons of young Kentucky bred cattle
and hogs, and hereafter he will be
found among US, doing oil he can,
aided by ample means and long ex-
perience in breeding and herding fine
blooded stock of all kinds, to assist
them in improving their stock.
We say to the farmers around
about us, that now is the time to take
time by the forelock," and COM
mence course of farming which
will promise them more staple and
easier to be attained reward than
raising wheat and small grains has
been.
We shall refer to this subject from
time to time, and shall urge the at

to this subject-deeming it one of
the utmost Importance to this, as it
is to any other farming community,
and we sincerely hope that our lead.
ing farmers will awaken to its inn
portance. Mr.. Bradshaw can bo

Smith during his stay among us, and
will be happy to show the animals
he has here, and talk with farmers
on stock and kindred subjects.
ANOTHER PROVOKING AND OUT
RAGEoUs ACT COMMITTED ON A OUT
EFT AND PEACABLE NEIGHBoR.-El-
der William Wood, who lives on his
! farm near Cedar City, whom we all
know is among our most industri-
Gus and respectable citizens. has
within the last year or two taken
! considerable pains TO obtain good
stock of Italian Bees, and up to this
time had succeeded TO the number of
Is stands, all i'm good condition to be,
at the proper time, removed to their
winter quarters. Last Saturday
night two certain Williams came into
| his beeyard and took off the upper
! chamber Of each hive, save one, leav-
/ ing all the boxes in which there was
no honey, scattered over the ground,
and his stands exposed to the
rain then falling, until they came to
one stand which had large box that
contained 50 or 50 pounds of honey,
which the Elder did not dare to re.
! move, as they had but little honey
| in the lower chamber. This they
took off, thereby destroying the
swarm, and then took another stand
that was full of honey, and carried
! them short distance from the bee
yard, swung them on a femCe-staks
and bore them away. Mr.. Wood
says he would not have had his bees

lars. He has taken out warrants,
and Mr.. Royce, our city Marshal,
has been over to look things up. Up
to this time no arrests have been
made. The community are suspic-
ious Of certain persons on whom the
eyes of officers have been resting for
sometime past. And further, we
learn that the organized society that
executed notorious character, not
long since, north of this place-no
worse, however, than some Of these
i'm our midst-is being increased, and
such characters as those who break
into shoe shops, horse stables, bee
yards, granaries and hen-roosts may
expect visit. Our citizens, as "A
class, are law abiding men, and will
not permit such scoundrels to re-
main in our midst. A hint to the
wise should be sufficient.
