The Toledo chronicle. [volume] (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1873-1924, 1874-07-30

When we moved to Toledo last Novcm-
Der, the Marshall Times gave us this com.
plimentary notice.
Mr.. J. B. Hedge, gentleman well and
| favorably known in Marshalltown, has
purchased the Toledo CHRONICLE Office,
and has moved to Toledo. Mr.. Hedge is
first-class printer, an exemplary Chris
tian gentleman, and Toledo has gained,
and Marshalltown has lost good citizen.
1t gives us the benefit of another notice
this week
The Adelphian Literary Society met
pursuant to adjournment last Friday eve
ming. The members we're nearly all pres
ent together with number Of visitors.
At the close of the business meeting

ed President to fill the vacancy caused by

were had:

Paper, Miss Alice Moore Mr.. G. n Palmer
We have received many compliments
from our brethren of the press throughout
the State on the improved appearance of
the CHRONICLE. Last January we in
formed our readers that when we pro-
cured our new dress we proposed making
the CHRONICLE one Of the handsomest
papers in the State, and we believe we
have done so. The appearance of the
paper is due in a great measure to the
beautiful type furnished US by Barnhart
Bros q Spindle, proprietors of the Great
Western Type Foundry, Chicago Their
manufactures are Of the very best, and
the firm is composed of gentlemen Of the
first rank. We have been acquainted
with the firm or rather two Of its members
-Barnhart Bros.-for the past eleven
years, as Printers, Publishers and Type
Founders, and the only bad trick we ever
knew them to be guilty Of was running a
Democratic newspaper! But in their pres
ent business they know no such thing as
politics, and are genial, generous, ac-
it is pleasure to deal, and whatever they
say may be relied upon as true in every
respect
We acknowledge receipt of the first
number duly Of the Iora Fine Stock
Gazette published BY G. r. Wilkinson &
Co., Vinton, Iowa 1t is neat looking,
well printed, handsome monthly of six
teen large pages, well illustrated, and
filled with articles of great worth upon the
subjects connected with raising and inn
proving stock Of all kinds AS the pub
fishers say in their prospectus:-''W APP
prehend that the demands of the country
are absolute for greater attention and
effort in the direction Of Stock Raising
that the salvation of the farmer from the
burdens Of debt, involved by the cxclu-
sive attention to grain growing, depends
upon the advantages that await him in
breeding, raising and feeding livestock
1t shall be the aim Of the I1ra Fine .Stock
Gazette to render valuable services in
such reform Of the industries of agricullur-
lists, as will induce their wealth and
independence. The breeding of improved
and thorough bred stock, the condensa-
ton Of bulk, before shipment, by feed
ing, we regard as emincntly the first
and most important step in such re-
form" We have made arrangements
with the publishers, by which we can
furnish those of our readers who wish Il
live home stock journal, with the CIIRoNl
Gle and the Io,ru Fine Stock gazette for
1910 a year, cash in advance.
