FARMERs.-Iti Is important to the
farmer, at this season, to consider well
what he shall do with his wool. The
Proprietorof the Knoxville Wooden
Mills would call your attention to
his facilities for accommodating the

has just put up full new set Of ma
chiDery, OF the first class and Is pre-
pared to do all carding and spinning
on short notice. All kinds Of wooden
goods are kept on hand, for exchange
on favorable terms for wool.
We can. and will give better rates
for wool, and supply good cloths, fan

than can be secured by dealing with
parties at q distance.

MONROE From the Abba
Union we CLEAN the following:
Ground was broken Friday on the
site of the new brick block on the west
side OF the square.
A sow belonging to ). T. Craig has
five pigs neither Of which has a parti-
Gle Of hair on except little tuft IN
the face. They are queer lonking oh
iects-look as though their hides were
tanned and BACKED with stove polish.
One day recently, Jack Saunders
and A. Sweeney had a successful wolf
chase near the farm OF the latter.
They chased an old she wolf under a
bridge. Then Mr.. Sweeney stood ut
one end of the bridge with All ak,
while Mr.. Saunders and the dogs went
TO the other. Presently Mr.. =. got a
chance to strike the dam wolf and
with one blow terminated the life Of
eight of the species.
The Union has been shown vege-
table of remarkable proportions. 1t
was the upper ground section, forty
two inches In length, OF parsnip. As
he did not get all the root, 1t is sup
posed the hungry heathens on the 9th
er side OF the world are gnawing ut the
other end Of 1t.
The great interest taken by the
people of st. Louis, Des Moines,
Knoxville. and Abba i'm securing the
construction Of railroad from Moul-
ton to Des Moines, has set Ottumwa,
Charlton and Indianola to believing,
paving and kicking up dnst. Char
iton and Indianola want the road, and
Ottumwa il afraid the track from that
place to Bloomfield will be torn up to
close the Albia-Moulton gap with.
Let the heather rage and the people
imagine a vain thing. We In this re-
gion are not trying to tear any rail-
road Ottumwa has, though Ottumwa
is trying to tear up the Central from
Eddyvjlle and lay it in the Des
Moines bottom. What we are after is
to get railroad from Moulton to Des
Moines via Abba and Knoxville and
this route evidently has the inside
track.

There once were two cats ut Kill

And the tips or their tails

NEW RAILROAD SENsATIoN.--Com
mmerce seeks outlets, aud overland
transportation makes provisions for
carrying the produce Of the country to
market. The rage Of the railroad
companies Is to find the most direct
route from point to point, and the
strife between great corporations to
mon0polize business leads to sharp
contests for the mastery by acquiring
right of way on the shortest lines.
This preface applies pertinently to
the present discussion In the newspa-
pers Of st. Louis respecting their get
ting direct railway connestion with
Central Iowa. that the great city of the
Mississippi Valley may be able to COM
pete with Chicago In bidding for our
grain, hay, cattle and hogs.
Two plans, either of which will ef-
feet the object. are already on foot;
one of which IL to raise 1850. 200 in st.
Louis to be used In bridging and put.
ting the iron on the twenty seven
miles OF grade between Moulton and
Abba, on condition that the st. Louis,
Kansas City aud Northern railway
can acquire u perpetual lease of the
road-bed and right OF way OF the Cen
trail Railroad of Iowa from Aibia to
ai0uiton. Ii remains to be ascertained
whether this can he done.
The other plan contemplates the
building of new road through the
ponds along the bottom lands of the
Des Moines river from Ottumwa to
Eddyviile, connecting the St. L., h.
T.. IL N. railroad with the Central
railroad at the last named town. Aud
the business men Of Ottumwa, who
are wide awake to every project that
promises help to their town, propose
to give liberal assistance to this plan,
aud the attention Of the commercial
men of st. Louis has been attracted To
such proposition. Abba will suffer
great loss ii the route by the way OF
our town shall not be preferred Oh all
accounts.
The route by Abba is preferable,
first, because the distance from Moul-
ton TO Eddyville over 1t is about twelve
miles shorter than the Oltumwa route.
Secondly, 1t is better on account Of all
the gsaues being light, while Oh the
other there are steep hills and the
roax is crooked. Thirdly, all COM
mdOc.al Interests of st. Louis are
served as well by the road being built
via Abba. And, fourthly, the road
bed is graded nearly the entire dis
tance from Moulton to Alba.
THESE several facts should be poten-
tai when cost OF operating, shorten
Ing distances, and expense, and time
in getting The road reaoy Tor use, are
taken into consideration. And rail-
ROAD companies consider well such
facts before deciding. In any event
the arguments are on our side.--Aidia
