Some farmers still have the i'm
preston that the grain purchasers Of
Tama City pay more for grain than
do those OF Toledo. On last Thurs
day, as We learn, there were about
twenty farmers whose Impressions
on that subject received sudden
change. These men went through
Toledo with their loade, found the
price of wheat 5 cents less at lama
than at Toledo, and hauled their
loads back again. Facts are facts,

the word transfer, he would have
SAID the truth and nothing more
What follows about individuals hav-
Ing given their notes and also with
regard to the voting Of tax in aid Of
the North and South II. r., il all
correct. But when he says the
makers Of the aboye mentioned
notes desire a transfer Of the tax
which in case it is transferred will be
accepted in lieu Of their notes. I say
there is no more foundation to the
statement than that there was ever
any serious thought Of transferring
the Buckingham tax to the Sal:peter
plug. All the rest is mere twaddle,
no doubt very pleasing 10 Q. and his
co-adjutors. Muck obliged, Mr.. O.,
for your compliment to the people
Of Perry your remark only shows
that you know nothing about our az
fairs in Perry and that you are al
ways sure to guess wrong.
Now, Mr.. Editor, the truth is sim.
ply this, that the Il. r. Company
have made no doubt some mistakes,
which in connection with the enor.
nous rise in iron, and the distrust in
financial circles growing eut of the
mere shadow of possibility o. the
election of Greeley, has prevented
the laying Of the iron to Traer on
time, FORGETTING the lax voted in their
aid, and if a transfer is made Of the
North and South tax it will take the
place OF that forfeited. As to the
notes 80 far as l can learn, either
have been taken up or will be taken
up. and new notes given.
We hope the laying Of the iron Is
only postponed for a short time
Grading is still going on aud is well
nigh completed.
