grown hog in good squealing condition,
and a. little further investigation con-
WINGED him that the hog had arrived
there in the same way that he did, ex-
cept that it had neglected to step into
the bucket and had descended pretty
rapidly in obedience to the laws Of grav-
itation, to the imminent danger Of
driving Dodge, who had no chance to
dodge, right into the bottom of the
we'll.
As soon as Mr.. d. fully comprehended
the situation, he pulled out his auger,
inserted piggy's nose and attempted to
drive the animal in; when, as he had
foreseen, its hoggish nature asserted
itself aud it backed clear out of the
well.
LATER.-Mr. Dodge has hired small
boy 70 watch the top of the hole when
he is welldigging in the rural districts.
WORTH THINKING oF.-The fact ia
surely deserving our attention that at
the present rate Of progress 1t will be at
farthest but few months before Center
township will be called upon to pay its
railroad tax. The complete withdrawal
from circulation among US Of fifty thou
sand dollars is something which If not
prepared tor will be felt as hardship by
the community as whole, as we'll a.
by almost every individual member OF
it. This need not be the case, however
to any considerable extent, if the event
is met by just little forethought. The
very company to which this money will
be paid is now disbursing each month 8
good many thousand dollars, quite 8
large proportion of which passes into
hands of citizens of this township. The
conclusion is obvious, that the money
which the company pays should b'
kept here to pay the company, and thus
the scarcity Of currency which is fearet
by many will be virtually avoided.
THE NEW BUILDING on the corne
desolated by the fire of eighteen months
ago has been the subject of numerous
notices since it was commenced, ant
now that it is fully completed and occu
pied we will make it our final bow.
In the first place we have to say tina
the building as it stands is credit t
its owners and to the place, as the bes
constructed and most nicely finished
building in it,-an example whicl
we hope may be soon and often fol
lowed.
1t is twenty two by sixty-tive feet OF
the ground, and two lofty stories high
The first Il DOR was fitted up expressI
for the City Drug Store of A. NJ. kir
& Co., and is both convenient and ele
CANT. The salesroom is furnished wit
short open counters, finished in white
relieved by walnut mouldings, and tn
whole appearance is light and airy
The stucco work in the room by Et
Golden and the painting by Ed. Ine
man, have slready been alluded to &
first class workmanship. The same
true of the wood work by Null, of Mu
catine. And as BETTING 50 fine room
A. NJ. Kirk & Co. have put up the
goods in the most attractive manue
using new outfit of jars labeled by til
new process of gilt on glass. This Ell
terprsing firm have come to the concl.
sion to sell cheap for cash, abolishin
the credit system, q contamination 1T
voutly to be wished by all our dealer
We surely hope they may succeed o
this new and best plan but howev'
this may be, they have made bushes
room of which Upton may be proud .
. the finest in Cedar Co., aud really Sc
ond to no drug store in Iowa in its al
f pointments and appearance.
