Tama County Republican. (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1867-1872, 1872-10-17

I'ERsoNAL.

II was thick with rumors of the I'm.
ending Doom hanging over Obser-
or, III the shape Of an article to ap.
ear from the pen Of John Stuart
10 recited it from memory in the
torres, and expectation was keen
he mountain has labored ; behold
he mouse.
The township of Perry is one o.
he best in the county, her citizens
re frugal, industrious and enterpris-
ng, are blessed with more than an
.verage share of intelligence, and are
generally we'll to do in the world
like most people who have business
IF their own, they neglect ssme that
.equires their personal supervision.
Rather than see the town suffer be-
cause OF the rest having business
which they attend TO there are three
men there who run the public bust
ness. They are Sir Sulky Wisdom,
Earl Conceit and Lord Knowall.-
They are like the Irishman spelling
for fight, wearing long tail coat
the ground, asking if rome
" gintlsman viU please sttp on it," on
being gratified he uses his shillalah.
The TRIO meet and resolve that zoe
are the town of Perry, and will
maintain her credit against all foes
and Observer" in particu lar and
they strip for the fight.
The trio" have charge of the
Railroad interest OF the town, having
kindly assumed its direction, (they
also attempted to defeat the tax in
Buckingham and woe to the luckIess
wright who refuses their dictation.-
Two weeks since your correspondent
without being in fear, in telling your
readers of the current event in this
part, just "stipped' on their coat tail,
not that Of the town. The act was
premeditated. 1t was a dull time,
and the trio had not been heard for
week, and what he said as to the
transfer was strictlg true which is the
point of offence. Ny information
regarding Clark, was derived from a
distinguished citizen of that town
who is usually correct, if he was
mistaken / am. 1t Mr.. Stuart does
not know that the original intention
of the transfer was to redeem the
notes, he was ignorant OF what the
entire community knew, including
his two associates, one of whom in
formed me that cit was not right
that few note makers should pay to
benefit the whole town" Since tho
publication of Mr. Stuart's note, a
gentleman we'll known in Perry, a
proprietor in the embryo village of
Traer. called and informed me that
the original intention of the transfer
was to redeem the notes, and that it
was talked over for weeks. So
much for Mr.. Stuart. There will be
a special meeting Of the trio on the
subject Of Observer as soon as
this appears. Please reserve space
for "SnADy."
A REVIVAL
OF interest in the Railroad has been
recently effected. Two weeks since
it was dead, the notes and tax would
expire by Imitation No. l, and it was
officially announced that no more
would be done this year. Something
new has arisen, the TRANSFER is now
wanted to replace the supposed de
funct one, and new notes are taken
for the the old ones, conditional that
the road will be completed and cars
running to Traer July 1st. 1873, al
ter which time more new ones will
be asked to replace them, for causes
enumerated in my last. The transfer
will carry by majority of two TO
one, so omnipotcnt is the power OF
hlmbug and brass.
Mr.. Stuart is concerned about my
!" CO adjutors." l am not a vulgar fra.
tional third. If the building of
the r. r., Is depending on the de.
feat of Greeley (') (moro twaddle re-
ceived from his Vinton mastoD we
shall have II. r., connection with the
world III three weeks, Greeley has as
much to DO with it as the man In
the moon.
PoLIrlcAL.--A spirited meeting
was held at Bovina Saturday evening
which was graccd by, The presence OF
the ladies. As Mr. Wilson made an
extra good speech, their presence
must have caused it. My friend John
Stuart made ono Of his peculiar char.
acteristic speeches, lntsrspersed with
ich anecdotes tha,repeatedly brought
down the hoIse. The County com.
mittec should keep him employed
during tho remainder of the cam
paign. Politics is his forte, not new-
paper writing.
Hon. J. b. Young and w. II.
Stivers Esq, spoke for Grant and
Wilson and civil service Reform at
this place this evening. The speech
of Mr.. Young was chaste, its ,iiction
