evidently deceived in the matter of
Mr.. Martins removal. Who used the
deception? Sufficient has been said
in these columns already to point out
the prime mover in the enterprise,
and we commend him to the prayers
of the contributors of the Free
Transportation Fund" He needs
them, God knows, worse than he
needed money to pay his passage to
Lincoln. Selah.
Rev. n. G. Robinson, District
Missionary for western Iowa and Ne
braska, spent Saturday and Sabbath
last in town. preaching on Saturday
evening and Sabbath morning and
evening. On Sabbath he organized a
Presbyterian church at this point of
some Is members. A good nucleus
for future church of power and in
fluence, which shall prove a blessing
to this community and shall garner
sheaves for the harvest, when LIES
reaper shall coms.
- Yer ish der mona ? ''The Free
Transportation Fund ?" The little
fifteen dollars? Gone; gone; gone
where the woodbine twineth, where
the whangdoodle mourneth for its
first-born. We hear the contributors
suggesting, however. that as the
thing didn't pan out, the money be
refunded. Why is this thusly? But
then it is, and whatever is, is right"
So, then, Governor, it's best to accept
the situation, and shell out without
any further asking.
Dame Gossip says that quite a
little "milln occurred between two of
our prominent citizens last week.
Their friends interfered, but two late.
One of them was Knott. Uncle Jim,
you should not let your angry pas
siOns rise. Gentlemen, your little
hands were never made to tear, &c.
Purity Costly" 1 guess it was
Mr.. Martins bill as registrar for the
May, April and October elections, $21.
The list revised and corrected in De-
tober by Mr.. Martin, was, we should
suppose, correct in the main. For
the November election, one day GER
tairly would have sufTiced for the cor
rection of the list, but the Governor
of Peru registrar puts in seven days
in correction, painting sign, &c, be-
sides crossing off the names of citi-
zens who had voted at the October
election, and who were thereby de-
MED their vote for GIANT. One days
work by the old registrar would have
cost the county So. Seven days by
the late appointee, $2l. Difference,
SIS. Who in justice should pay this,
the taxpayers or the man whose
transportation was paid to Lincoln to
effect this resuls2
