We find the following appreciative
notice of the gentlemen who are about to
open the new bank in our city, in the
columns of the Waterloo Reporter:
"The Buchanan County Bank. at indie
pendence, which commences business the
last of this week or first ofnext, has made
draft on us by taking away Mr.. Elwell,
who has, for the past three years, been
acting cashier of the First National Bank.
While Mr. Elwell's friends regret his leav-
ng they are glad to know that he has
fallen into good hands, and his foot has
found resting place in town second to
none in Iowa in enterprise, thrift, and
healthy growth; and further, that he is
associated with men that will do any
place honor in becoming citizens of it.
Our acquaintance with Mr.. Francis, the
president of the bank, dates back about
three years, and knowing him to be pos
sessed of an amount of the needful to
make him desirable, we used our best eff
forts to induce him to become a citizen of
Waterloo. The people of Independence
will find him and his family a DIES rable
acquisition, both financially and socially,
and while we do not wish to be particu-
larly soft on them we unhcsitatingly say
to the business men Of Independence that
the proprietors of the Buchanan County
Bank are worthy their confidence and de-
serve share of their patronage"

the distribution of certain moneys be-

which have most successfully and prudent

session, and also those which have in
creased most rapidly in population since
the last apportionment He did not des-
ignate any county whose accounts are
not properly balanced on the books of
his Office. Our people will be gratifed to
know that Buchanan County is on the
list. Such has been the careful and in.
telligcnt management of this fund by the
officers of this county that it has never
suffered loss This is an excellent rec
ord, and the credit for it should be award
ed where it belongs, to the former Clerk,
DR.. Brewer, and the present Auditor, Mr..

county is 81, 5O8.00.

EDUCATION FOR THE FREEDMEN. Rev.
II. II. Benson, Of Wisconsin, agent OF the
American Missionary Association, pre-
sentcd the condition and claims of the
Freedmen, last Sabbath, at the Congre-
gatiOnal church. Mr.. B. was with Gen.
Shcrman's grand army during the cam
paign through Georgia and the Carolinas,
and is well acquainted with his subject.
He has been spe ding a few days in town
during the week, and favored us with a
call.
The object Of the Association of which
he is agent is to educate the Freedmen,
by SEEDING among them teachers of cx-
perience. II ostly females, and, especially
to raise up teaches among the colored
people themselves. l,nc necessity for
such action arises from the ,,,'ndice of
their old masters, and their opposition, to
the elevation of the colored race. As
they are to have the rights ofcitizens and
to vote it is no less our interest than our
duty, and that of the whole nation, to
see that these people are educated. The
desire is to partly sustain teacher now
in the Southern field, and, in the fall, to
send a teacher from Independence, rs
many other towns are aiding the cause.
This is work which is worthy ofthc aid
Of every patriot Those 81 our citizens
disposed to lend helping hand, can do
SO through Mrs. Spencer Noyes and Mrs.
d. W. Hammond, who are appointed a
committee for that purpose. ''1at !

THE CoNcERT-We are sure that we
will have the unqualified assent of all who
we're present at the Union Concert of the
independence, Cedar Falls, and Waverly
Musical Associations, at Wilcox Hall, last
Tuesday evening, when we say that it
was the most successful and pleasing
musical event of the season. The au-
dience was large and appreciative, and
the performers generally evinced careful
training, and in some instances a high
order of talent. The concert was every
way credtable to Prof Bum, the ac-
complished teacher and director of the
associations represented. When all did
so well it appears inviduous to make
special mention. but we cannot refrain
from the expression Of the pleasure we
enjoyed in listening to the singing Of Mrs.
Nichols and Mrs Wallace, Of Cedar Falls.
Mrs Nichols possesses a voice which
may well provoke the envy of any singer
not professional. 1t is pure, liquid
soprano faultlessly correct, and showing
the most conscientious training. She
electrified the audience by her singing of
the song, Beautiful West" and being
called out again gave "Within Mile of
Edinboro town" with exquisite effect
Mrs Wallace also is singer very rarely
surpassed. With equal cultivation, she
possesses more strength than Mrs. Mich
OILS, and sings with faultlcss expression and
taste. No feature ofthe evening was more
pleasing to cultivated ears than her rem
dering of Gloyer's Valley Of Chamouni."
She also was called out the second time
and responded gracefully. Speaking ofthe
strangers we must not forget to mention
Miss Hershy, of Cedar Falls, whose piano
playing, and especially the superbly rem
dercd Fantasia on airs from Don Pas
quale, was rapturously applauded by the
audience. OF our own singers Mrs Barn
hart, Mrs. Alexander, and Messrs. Hol-
bridge, Woodruff and Jacobs, deserve
particular mention. Mrs Barnhart rem
dcred THE White Squalr' in her usual
faultless manner, and in response to the
encore sang the pathetic ballad Little
Maud" with very marked effect. The
choruses, especially Rossini's ''Isracls
Sons with one Accord" Daughter of
Zion," and The grand chorus from the
Creation, were excellently performed and
warmly applauded. What is lacking in
this department by our musical associa-
tons is Instrumentation. An efficient Or
chestra would add immensely to the eff
feet Of those grand productions of the
old masters.

wALTHAM
w At G II E S.

The extensive use of these watches for the last
fifteen years by Railway Conductors, Engineers
and Expressmen, the most eXacting of watch
wearers, has thoroughly demonstrated the strength
steadiness, durability and accuracy of the Walt
ham Watch. To satisfy that class in all these
spects, is to decide the question to the real val
ne OF these time keepers.
More than zOO.OO0 of these watches are now
speaking for themselves in the pockets of the peo
plea proof and guarantee of their superiority
over all others.
The superior organization and great extent OF
the Companys Works at Waltham. enables them
to produce watches at price which renders CON-
petition futile. and those who buy any other watch
merely pay from % to 80 per cent. more for their
watches than is necessary.
These time pieces combine every improvement
that long experience has proved of real practical
use. Having had the refusal of nearly every in
veniion in matchmaking originating in this coun-
try in Europe, only those were finally adopted
which severe testing by the most skillful artisans
in our works, and long on the part of the pub
lie, demonstrated to be essential to correct and
enduring excepting.
Among the many improvements would par
ticularize:
The invention and use of centre pinion of Pc
cuiar construction, to prevent damage to the
train by the breakage of main-springs is original
with the American Watch Company, who, having
had the refusal OF all other contryances, adopted
Fogg's patent pinion as being the best and fault
less.
Hardened and tempered hair-springs now uni
versally admitted by Watchmakers to be the best,
are used in all grades of Waltham Watches.
All Waltham Watches have dust-prOOf caps, pro-
the necessity of the frequent cleaning necessary in
other watches
Our new patent stcnl-winder, or keyless watch
is already decided success. and great improve
ment on any stem winding watch in the American
market, and by far the cheapest watch of its quail
ity offered to the public. To those living in
portions of the United States where watchmakcrs
do not abound watches with the above mention
ed Improvements which tend TO insure accuracy,
cleanliness, durability and convenience, must
prove invaluable.
