We find the following complimentary
notice of former citizen of our place, in
the Jasper Republican
"BERKsHIRB PIGs.-R. ID. Marks, residing at
Chester, in Lynn Grove township, this county,
whose thorough bred sow, "Katydid, took the
first premium at county fair, last week,
makes the breeding of Berkshires his speciality.
Several of our farmers availed themselves of the
from his lot at the fair and he assures US he has
some very nice Cnes still on hand. Those desir-
ing to secure pigs of this celebrated stock cannot
do better than by calling Mr.. Marks at his res
idence, or by addressing him at Lynnville, Jasper
county, Iowa, and thus secure pure stock at low
est prices. Mr. Marks took first premium sow
pig under six months old, and Immediately sold
1t to gentleman of Winterset. Mr.. Marks has
been several years in the business and under
stands it thoroughly

The LATEST SwNDLE.-Certain sanctimonious
charlatans would fain persuade the world that
diffusive stimulants have no medicinal value, and
that Diet estable slops, composed of gripping acids,
and drastic purgatives are better tonics than the
finest vegetable ingredients combined with the
pu rest end mellowest products of the still. But
this sort of thing won't go down. The stomach
of our common sense rejects it, as the physical
stomach of every man with an undepraved palate
rejects, with loathing and adherence, the nause-
GUS denominations, free from alcohol" which
humbugs are trying to thrust down the throats Of
Temperance Invalids.under the pretense that the
filth will do them good 1t is not likely that
while Plantation Citters, the Standard Tonic of
America, is anywhere accessible, such sickening
frauds can make much Roadway, but it is as well
to put the public on their guard against them.

GREEN.-One "W B. c." probably
Weather Beaten Cuss, went from Abba to

boy essay of his trip to the Union. Not
one word did he say good of any town,
and many ridiculous mistakes and mis-
statements he made. He says of Oskaloo-
Sa
"Oskaloosa. of which so much has been said
and whose citizens now think so much of, looks
dead and lifeless, and had it not a magnificent
productive and fruitful county to support it,
would not to day be what 1t is. 1t always has
been and is now the pampered, spoiled child of
proud Mahaska."
Looks dead and lifeless, does it We
do not know what constitutes life, but We
imagine that an active business communi-
ty, intelligent, wide.awake, lively business
men, and real estate owners erecting fine
houses on their lots, looks something like
life. Now look at the folly OF the above
extract. Right at the Central depot, less
than one block away, within plain sight,
we find erected, within less than year,
two brick store-rooms and two or three

rington' new brick foundry, erected on
the ruins of his frame one built last year
and burned month since, $4,000 Cas-
works $4,000, etc. This much for build
ings surrounding the depot, and when he
gets up town he finds nearly quarter of a
million put in new buildings within fifteen
months Within two blocks of the track
is the new public school house, erected at a
cost of $4,000. In plain sight on the 9th

DISASTROUS FIRE AT NEW SHARoN.-A
few days ago the new two story brick of
Wright & Wells of New Sharon, was COM
pleted and their stock of hardware moved
therein. Their brick was as nice business
house as any two story brick 20xS0, in o.
kaloosa, finished off in good style inside,
with all the conveniences likely to be sug-
gested to the minds of two men familiar
with their business. The rear part of the
second story was fitted up and used as a
tin, shop. Last Thursday night about mid
night some OF the citizens of that town
were awakened by crash, and on looking
out saw this splendid building all on fire,
past hope, the flames bursting out of the
windows at the back and side. The fire
had evidently been burning for hours, as
the crash was caused by the fail of the
large elevator wheel after it was burned
down. An eyewitness informs us that he
had no idea of the number of men about
New Sharon, until that alarm was sounded,
when they came from every quarter. The
fire had made such Roadway that it was
impossible to save anything but the iron
and nails stored in wareroom in the rear,
and the exertions of the crowd were turned
to protecting the other property. Ad Nay
lOr's store across the street had close call,
but was saved by hard work and wet blan-
kets When the fire reached the cartridges
in the store. a firing like musketry was
kept up for some time, and finally the ex-
D losion of keg of powder blew out the
whole front of the building. L. is supposed
IL caught from fire left by the timer in the
charcoal pot, as that was the only fire
used about the house during the day. The
