How PEOPLE WILL. MIsTAKE.-As an
instance Of how prone people are, after
having persuaded themselves that a GER
tain dishOnorable act or line of conduct
10 all right, to fall into the mistake of
thinking it will appear in the same light
to others, we relate the following: A
man is approached by canvasser and
requested to take certain paper. He
replies that lie already takes one pub
lishsd at the same place, with the same
general news, &c, and does not need
another. The canvasser then offers to
give the man the new paper eieren
months, until his subscription expires OH
the old one, if he will promise to then
discontinue the old and subscribe for the
new. Now that canvasser and his en-
ployers were no doubt convinced that
this was ''enterprise and go-aheadative-
ness" and honorable competition in
al untitled field" but the man who was
solicited thought differently, and says
that after that, he would not take the
new paper from the office. And this,
We think, will he the decision of the
many others to whom similar PROPOSE
ton has been made, when they under
stand the matter fully, as well as Of the
public generally.

DIED.

ALDEN-At her residence in Upton, Mon.
day, Sept. 18th, ELIZABETH PAYNE, beloved
wife of VIM. II. Alden, i'll the 3eth year of her
age.
Thus has passed from our midst, after
a short but distressing illness, one but
just come to the meridian of life, sur
rounded by all that could make life hap
Ply and desirea0le. By her sudden death
great grief has come to her happy home,
and gloom and sadness TO the hear is of
large number Of sorrowing friends.
Mrs. Alden possessed in a remarka.
able degree the rare power of winning
hearts to herself, of making all who
came within the circle of her influence
feel that she loved and cared them. 1t
may he truly said of her,
'.None knew her but to love her;
Meme named her but to praise"
But her greatest charm was her ardent
love for her Savior and His cause. Her
intimate friends knew that she was try
ing to serve God, and that love for His
service was greater than all. Her last
message to the members of the church
was, "Tell them to let their light
shine" May it long be remembered by
all her christian friends. We feel that
our loss is her gain-that she has gone
to be with Him, "Whom not having
seen she loved" While we feel to say,
"Oh, Lord! how inscrutable are thy
judgments, and thy ways past finding
out,n we would also say, Even so,
Father, for so it seemed good in Thy
sight'' j. ID.

For the Adver0
The Herd Law.

Perhaps the most important vote cast
in Cedar county this fall will be for or
against what is known as the herd law.
One year ago wrote you few lines
against the adoption of the law at that
time, but misunderstood its operation,
and in common with most of my neigh.
bors now, am heartily in favor of its
adoption.
Az now understand it, the present
fence law Is not repealed, but it holds
the trespassing stock and their owner
good for all damages, which is certainly
right. At present person may have a
large herd of stock running at large,
breaking into grain fields, iDjuriDg
themselves by overeating. and damaging
all the neighbors round. How often do
persons get anything like the damage
they have received? Not once in TWEEN.
ty times. BY the present law it costs as
much time aud trouble to bring such
person to justice as you expect to re-
ceive. BY adopting the herd law the
stock Is held for the damages, and the
owner has to hunt up his stock when it
is missing, while tho injured person is
net obliged to ride all over the neigh:
borhood to find out whose stock was in
his grain field and if he can't find the
owner, will have to seek redress by the
tedious way Of the stray law.
l have no doubt but those who let
their stock run at large lose more from
having them logged from farm to farm,
by ovsreating, and not getting their
milch cows for two or three days at u
time, than would hire all their pasture
three times over-to say nothing at
all about broken fences, destroyed grain
and angry neighbors.
Scott county adopted the law last fall,
aud a. passed through a portion of that
county recently saw no cattle leaning
against the fence to browse, or getting
down on their knees and bellies to reach
under the fence for bit Of grass to keep
them alive; and 1 heard of no one who
wished to have tho herd law repealed.
Will not some ADLER pen show the ad-
vantages to Cedar county by adopting
this law? NJ.

SERVED HIM RIGHT.-On Sunday, Sd
inst, man residing west OF town, near
Rock Creek, 1--WE omit the name), who
had been working on the railroad, con-
cluded that lie could make more money
and make it easier by selling whisky to
others than by hauling dirt. He there
fore procured q quantity of the tangle-
foot and took it in his wagon to place
some three miles down the river from
where the mon were at work on the
grade, where he established his head
quarters, and taking few bottles Of
whisky in boat, rowed up to the shan
ties and commenced lively business.
He SOON sold out his small stock and
started back for more, when some Of the
men thought to save him the trouble of
bringing it they would 60 to headquar-
ters. They went, and also went for his
whisky without paying for it, at which
our man got angry and gave one OF them
= black eye to get him to quit. This SO
enraged the whole party that they at
once agreed to retaliate by hanging our
merchant, aud procuring a rope they
threw ono end Of it over the limb of a
tree; but here \ dispute arose between
the drunken men as to how to tie a
hangman's knot, during which our mer-
chant made good his escape, minus his
whisky. his team and hi. wagon. The
drunken men took charge of his team,
and during the week he ventured back
among them and got his team and left,
\ wiser man.

FROM sTANWOOD.

EDITOR A few notes
from our town may be of interest to some
of your readers; and though like David
Coppsrfield, we feel that we are livery
yeung," still we are willing to have the
people of the county know through the
columns Of your paper of 1.-THE little
events that go skurrying by in the
town and its vicinity.
Ifany Of your readers complain that
these events are not of an exciting char
acter, we have to say in answer to the
complaint that We never said or believed
that they were such.
Very naturally the State Fair is tho
uppermost topic this week; how to at
tend and not shut up shop while gone is
the question our business men have been
discussing for some time past. believe
it is settled that one division remain At
home on one day and do business for all
while the other division attends the
Fair, and next day the frat division
goes to the Fair and the second attends
to business.
A good deal of wheat is coming into
market now, aud think the farmers in
our vicinity are we'll satisfied with the
prices paid here. see your Clarence
correspondent thinks tho buyers there
are paying little moro for wheat than
is paid in the other towns in the county
on this line of railroad. I do not know
how this is, but 1 think our buyers here
so far this season have paid every cent
the daily market reports would allow;
anu this seems to me fair way of doing
business, and best for both farmer aud
buyer.
There is considerable discussion among
our farmers in regard to the "Stock
Act.' If am not mistaken majority
of them will vote for it on election day.
They would like to know whether the
first section oil the proposed law will do
away with existing laws in regard to
division fences. A carefully prepared
statement on this point would, think,
be Of interest to many Of your readers,
and would greatly assist many in deter.
mining how to vote OH the Act.

THE ELECTION LAST SATURDAY.
The special election held in this city,
last Saturday, to vote on the question Of
a per cent. tax in aid of the Iowa &
Minnesota Railway Co., resulted In
large majority in favor Of the tax.
The vote is as follows: Whole No. Of
votes cast, ga; for the tax, 2o5 against
the tax, 80. The amount which will be
raised by this means is $1,000. This
leaves $24 900 to be raised by subscrip-
ton. Something like $1,000 has al
ready been pledged, and the entire $780,
600 can DO easily made up if We only
take hold with will. With the road
in operation and freights both ways
cheapsned by competition, We shall
never regret having made the outlay

Home VS.. the World.

EDITOR ADVERTISER In your issue
of Aug. 3lst noticed an article relating
to some cabinet work done by mechan-
ic from nsighboring city for several of
our business firms. do not altogether
like the spirit of the article referred to;
it seems to me derogatory to both the
interest and ability of home mechanics.
examined carefully the fixtures which
were on exhibition at the County Fair,
and considering myself q judge Of such
work, say that the work is deficient
both in workmanship and tinsness of
finish, lack of ability or carelssness be-
ing plainly apparent. l hold, as any
experienced mechanic would, that it is
only an ordinary job. Why, then. is it
worthy of 20 much commendatien?
You seem to admit that it would be
advisable for the people of Upton and
vicinity to patronize workmen from
abroad, thus ignoring both Upton me-
chanics and their work. This is sheer
injustice. The business firms referred
to derive their income from the patron
age of the people hero. and it is but just
and right that our mechanics, whom l
include among the people, should ask a
return of the compliment.
My opinion upon the subject is this:
If fine mechanical work can be done
here as we'll and as cheap As abroad,
land know it CAM workmsn here
should be patronizsd. Also, if your pa
per works for the interest Of the people
of the county, would it not be well occa-
sionally to give the mechanics Of Upton
and vicinity credit for little excellence,
which / am confident exists. This is
no personal matter, therefore l cannot
be understood as speaking for myself,
but in behalf of the working class to
which l belong. l do not wish to de-
tract one iota from the credit which a
man deserves for executing q fine piece
OF work, but I am not willing that def
cisnt work, merely because it comes
from abroad, should be loaded with COM
mendation, when both the ability and
interest of home mechanics are entirely
overlooked.
Respectfully,
MARCUS d. BEACH.
The Tipton advertiser. [volume] (Tipton, Cedar Co., Iowa) 1856-1962, 1871-09-14

We fully agree with our correspondent
above about the propriety of patronizing
home merchants aud mechanics. They
should always come first, quality Of ar
ticles or work at all permitting, and sv-
ery man who has the interest Of his own
community ut heart will act upon this
principle. But our friend must remem-
Der that while we have never been slow
to commend the success Of any of our
home merchants or manufacturers, with
or without pay, it would not be very
businesslike to refuse to advertise good
thing because it came from abroad
Newspapers, like Mr.. Beach, work for
money, and he would hardly refuse to
sell man rocking chair because he
came from Iowa City to purchase. Ed.

FAIR.-The Ninth Annual Fair Of the
Union District Agricultural Society will
be held on the Sosiety's fair grounds,
two and one half miles north Of West
Liberty, on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday, Sept. Goth, 9th and 2Sth,
1871. This is prominently an Agricul-
turdiFair. Particular attention is called
in the Socisty's advertisements to this
fact. The managers propose to find by
actual experiment whether or not Fair
can "be sustained without large premi-
ums to fast horses" We think il they
continue to give the same inducements
to bring, and the same opportunities to
see, good stock and farm products as
heretofore, they will find that it can.
