The Toledo chronicle. [volume] (Toledo, Tama County, Iowa) 1873-1924, 1874-08-06

: Our semi-Americanized friend over the
J way tries hard to ridicule the CHRONICLES
|, by abiding TO the fact Of our having the
/ Largest" paper in the county. That's
right, londsman spell again. The CHRON-
IcLE 10 the LARGEST, CHEAPEST and BEST,
) and has more reading matter than any
: other paper in Tama county. Send in
. your bill for past services and continue

How to get rich-lcarn TO live on wind
, and sleep on q clothes linc.-Ind
The editor speeks by the card He has
been trying the first part of the pro-
, gramme ever since his connection with
the paper. He has taken 50 much Of ii
that he is pulled up like blown up blad-
| der, and it rolls off his stomach with the
, force Of young tornado. For the sake
, Of the community try another diet.
The editor of the Tama rress APP
pears to be very much worried about
the weak minded and illiterate editor of
the CHRONICLE" and seems to lay all his
troubles at our door. If this is true, as he
asserts, we should think his bowels would
ycarn with compassion toward us, and
that he wouldn't desire to hurt our fee
links by telling US in such public man
ner. We feel very bad, we do
Our ex-marshal says that the Town
Council could do the work of the Beecher
Tilton investigating committee in half the
time that committee has already taken in
the premises, and that the council would
convict Beecher on an er-pnrte hearing

Ben meant when he SO expressed himself
He appeared very much in earnest,

i The superstructure Of the Farmers Ele-
yator is being pushed forward as rapidly
as possible under the circumstances. The
bins are about half completed and a por-
ton of the building enclosed It is the
intention of the contractor and superin-
tcndent to have the building ready for use
in moving the present wheat crop. Our
grain trade demands its early completion
and through the energy of its managers it
will be done.
For commentary on the life of the
editor Of the Press, see last weeks issue.
Said commentary is pub
lished by the proprietors Of the Press,
bound in sheep, and taken altogether is
very exhaustive Of the whole subject. II
lets us into the inner life, hereditary de-
scent, birth, education, and in Short shows
up the whole status Of the greatest black
guard that has existed since the days Of
Jack Falstaff.
We hope the Press, in giving the slarg-
est list Of bona fde subscribers in Tama
county" hasn't rcsortcd to the same meas
ures which our friends in the next block
have-putting down the names OF per-
sons who have leff the county orcr q gear.
Could our Teutonic friend read good En-
glisl, he'd be taking the names off the
tombstoncs Of some Of our good friends
who have gone abovc-hut. unfortunately
for him, the independent don't circulate
in that latitude
The Mdependem takes us to task for
not having Toledo market. Wishing to
post ourselves on the prices Of farm
truck, We glance over the report Of our
hayseed ncghbors, and are as!onishcd to
learn that hogs have advanced to the un-
precedcnted price Of four seventy-fivc and
five dollars per pound, Iehosophat. Who
wouldn't be Il granger, and with the grang-
crs stand II beats the days when gold
went up to 300 Farmers should carefully
pcrusc the market reports" Of our neigh
bors before selling.

At Il special meeting Of the Town coun-
ell August Sd, W E Applegate was APP
pointed Marshal rice BENZ. B. Houghkirk,
resigned. Mr.. Applegate will make a
good officer, as has been proven by his
record in that position heretofore. The
position of Marshal is a thankless one but
We have got to have some one to fill it,
and the council are fortunate in procuring
the acceptance Of SO good man for the
place. William will attend to his duty,
regardless of consequences, if the proper
backing is furnished him by the authori-
ties.
We regret exceedingly that in our report
Of the Dedication at Montour last week
we omitted to mention the name Of the
popular pastor Rev. A. G. Hickey. a
great deal Of praise is due him for the
manner and success in which he worked
up this enterprise and carried it through
to its termination He is well liked by
his church and congregation, and is doing
good work in that town and vicinity
We did not notice the omission OF his
name last week till part Of our edition
was printed, and it was then too late to
make the correction.
