HOW TO GO WEST.

This is an enquiry which every one
should have t-tdhJuiy answered before
lie starts on his journey, and a little
care taken in examination of Routes
will in many cases save much trouble,
time and money.
The &C. Il. g. @. RR.," running from
Chicago, through Galesburg to Bur-
lington, and the 81. b. & w. Route"
running from indianapolis, through
Bloomington to Burlington, have
achieved splendid reputation in the
last two years as the leading Passen-
ger Routes to the West. At Burline.
ton they connect with the b. & NJ. Z.
r. and form the great Burlington
Route, which runs direct through
Southern Iowa to Nebraska and Kan
sas, with close connections to Califor-
MIA and the Territories; and pa4sen-
gers starting from Tonesta, on their
way westward, cannot do better than
to take the Burlington Route.
This Line has published pamphlet
called Chow to go West" which con-
tains much valuable information n
large correct map Of the Great West,
which can be obtained free of charge
by addressing the General Passenger

Anti Greeley Democrats.

The Democrat Of last week goes on
to state that it "does not think that
there is one Democrat in Forest Coun~
ty'who will not support Greeley" and
consequently that BRO. Dunn is in
error when he says there are several
Democrats just about here who will
have nothing to do with Greeley"
We are not in the habit of making
statements in regard to the opinions of
other men without first having author
ity for So doing. Now, t. convince the
editor of the Democrat that we are not
in error, we subjoin a small list of
Democrats personally known to US to
be opposers of Greeley. If we are
still thought to be in error we ask the
editor of the Democrat to interview
these parties, and be may learn Of yet
more, who refuse to swallow the Re-
publicanism Of Greeley. The following
10 llotJ WHICH, VIC nave uOJ SJlTT6u out
Of our tracks to get, and which we
venture to say could be increased ten
fold in the county if person would
take the trouble to inquire of the par
ties themselves:
Daniel Black, L. L. Hackett, j. w.
Stroup and Stephen Gates, of Tones
ia borough; Nelson Cole, of Newtown,
and Henry Zendle, of Dutch Hill,
who says that nearly every Democrat
on Dutch Hill will stay at home on
election day before they will vote for
Greeley. We do not pretend to say
but that some Of these men were pref
udiced by the Democrats article against
Greeley previous the nomination.
The Democrat furthermore remarks
that "scme of the most prominent Re-
publicans in the County are going to
support Greeley in preference to
Grant" Now we challenge the Dem
ocrat to produce list of three prom
inent Republicans in Forest County
who are going to support Greeley.

"A match game was played between
the "White Pines" and "Blue Stock
ings" Of this place, on Saturday after
noon last, in which the "Blue Stock
ings" were beaten by a score of 6S to
%. In justice to the defeated club we
will say that hardly any of them had
practiced to any extent before the
game, and the whole nine were never
out together until that day. A large
attendance of spectators, more than
half composed of ladies witnessed
the game, and expressed themselves
delighted with it. The Blue Stockings
were uniformed, and presented quite a
professional appearance. Next Satur-
day the White Pines will come out in
their uniforms, and We hope that as
many will bepresentas at the last game

We hear that the town council
are taking steps to have new sidewalks
built on our principal streets. This is
as 1t should be, and we hope that Just
ss little time as possible will be ex.
pended in the preliminaries. We have
spoken several times of the matter
but had almost come to the conclusion
that somebody would have to break
their neck before a move would be
made. The new sidewalks, when we
get them, will be much wider than
those now used.

800 feet, and 3 feet high. The remarks
were extended, resulting in motion
to have the dams built of spiles, plank,
stone and brush. The Committee was
discharged, and a committee of three
