We notice already new wheat COM

was raised on the farm of H. S. Hoy
man, just east of town, and purchased
by M. l.. Simmons. 1t tested SO Tbs
to the bushcl. Farmers are threshing
and hauling this commodity as fast as
possible now, and are getting the
nice little sum of 81 20 per bushel,
quite an advance over previous pri-
ces.
Hands commenced operations on
the Stanwood & Upton r. r. on
Thursday, the sth inst, and the work
is being rapidly pushed forward.
Over fifty men and teams are now
engaged in the work with an increase
in numbers daily. Tiptonites "look
out for the locomotive!"
The store of Hartle & Lorimer
was entered last evening by some
person or persons and clothing, in
value to the amount Of some $40 90
or $50 90 was taken. 1t seems their
appeiiies were satisfied, as they left
the grocery side unmolested, with
the exception of the money drawer,
which they relieved Of what loose
change there was left in the evening
before.
Several carpet sacks and other
material was missing from the Miller
House.
The supposed thief came up from
Clinton on the evening train with q
lot of r. r. hands, but did not belong
to their company. He made himself
conspicuous by dancing and singing
to the amusement of crowd at the
saloons in the evening, and claimed
that he had travelled with q circus
which we have no reason to doubt
1t is useless to say the chap was mis-

The sermon proper concluded, the
speaker referred to the effort Of this
congregation to work with God In the
provision of an appropriate place in
which to worship Him. The finan-
cial condition Of the enterprise was
stated, from which 1t appeared that
about $500 must be raised to liquidate
the debt Of the society. A brief ap-

stated in this connection that the

by the large amount remaining to be
provided for the resolute and liberal
way in which the burden was taken

the purpose of this gathering is not
only to organize an Old Settlers

basis of many such occasions, but also
to have a grand reunion and jollifica-

bring with him or her the husband or
wife, no matter whether he or she was
here at the early day or not. The
pleasant intercourse of the cheerful

long and eventful past which the day

ACCIDENT NEAR DURANT-HoRRI-
VIM. Sproal, while assisting in thresh-
ing on the farm Of VIM. Nesbitt, near
Durant, last Friday forenoon, met
death in a horrible manner, as we
learn from the Davenport Gazette.
He was endeavoring to subdue fire
in the cylinder box when, in stepping
upon the apron, he slipped and fell
upon the cylinder, which-the thresh-
er being under full headway-tore him
in horrible manner at every revolu-
ton, until, from his feet to the small
Of his back, he was a mere mass of
bloody shreds. His right leg was lit
orally torn Fand went through the
machine in pieces. The thresher was
stopped as soon as possible, but it was
not until it was nearing the hapless
mans vitals that the cylinder ceased
to revolve.-Mr. Sproal never lost his
senses during the awful operation, but
feeling the heat OF the fire which was
near him, begged the men not to let
him burn. They set to work, tore
away the cylinder cap, turned the ma
chine back by hand, and took him out.
Then the flames burst forth, and the
machine was consumed with a wagon
that stood near it.
Surgeons We're summoned to the re-
lief Of Mr.. Sproal, but they could do
nothing. He died in about fifteen
minutes after he was placed upon the
hay. He resided near Durant, with
his widowed mother, he being her sole
dependence for support in her old age.

"OUT FOR GREELEY."-It appears
that for an indefinite length Of time,
Upton has had q Greeley Postmaster.
Like those great men and patriots,
Horace Greeley, Lyman Trumbull,
Carl SEIZURE. Rev. Hon. J. B. Grim
nell and DR.. J. Maynard, Horace Nor
row has suddenly discovered that the
Republican party Is nest Of thieves
and robbers and no place for him.
We say suddenly" because. although
no now claims to have felt thusly ever
since before the Cincinnati Conven-
ton, he has until within . week taken
. Ueyy active part in all our local party
affairs. showing great assiduity In
managing eaucuses and conventions
and In getting upon nominating dele.
CATIONS, which of course no honest
man would have done after seeing
plainly the iniquity that was in the
old concern and fully determining it
was his solemn duty to leave It.
Therefore we must conclude that the
conversion which became noised about
the streets last week was as sudden a.
that Of st. Paul and like Paul, we
have an idea, the convert was struck
blind, though by very different Wis
ion.
Horace the Great has been followed
across the political Red Sea by Horace
the Less (the modern exodus is, how
ever, made from the promised land
back into Egypt)-and the Republican
party still lives! The editor Of the
Cedar Post has Joined the editor of the
New York Tri6une-and yet Repub-
lican majority 10 feared in Iowa!!
The Upton postmaster has Greeleyiz-
ed-and still Republican nominations
are somewhat sought after in Cedar
county!H No misfortune will here
after have the power to alarm.
The Greeleymocracy themselves
seem to welcome the new convert with
about the same enthusiasm with which
they declare their intention to Vote
for old Horace Greeley, d him"
Well, we'll it is not for US to judge the
motives of others; but we have heard
somewhere that Where the carcass
is there will the buzzards be gathered
together'-which brings the reflection
that the great trouble with the human
buzzards is their defective sense of
smell, which often impels them to
travel a great distance aud at last to
sell themselves for-nothing, which
is generally all they are worth.
