BuRNED.-Some of the trains are
off time in arriving at Upton nova
days, owing to the locomotive being
obliged to go to Lisbon or Louden
for water. The water tank at Red
Oak caught FIRE last week Thursday
and burned down-as we understand
the matter, . clear case Of penny
wise pound-foolishness on the part
of the company. They saved the
wages Of the hand usually kept at
the tank to see that things do not
freeze up and imposed his duties up
on the section men. These, having
duties elsewhere, built FIRE in the
stove and left it. The fire in its
turn took care Of itself and of the
tank too.

BRIDGE AwARDs.-Contrac for
a large amount of bridge work in
this county were awarded at the late
adjourned session Of the Supervisors,
as will appear from the proceedings.
No doubt some of them-possibly
all of them-were much needed in
their respective localities. But it
occurs to US, as doubtless il has to
many others, that the long and sadly
needed bridge over the Cedar river
is public work Of such Importance
to almost the whole county as to de-
serve attention in connection with
permanent improvements Of this kind.
A recapitulation Of the awards
would be as follows:
Woodwork-S. NJ. Town. 4 bridg-
es; E. Carey, 4; J. Buche, 3.
Stone-work--John Leonard, 3;
VIM. Tivis, L; Oleson & Huffman, 5;
J. B. Johnson, 2.
The prices range from $50 to
1915 per lineal foot for superstruc-
ture, and from 81 to 1850 per perch
for stone work. The bridges vary
in length from "a to 40 foot
span.

The Cedar County Farmer is the
name Of an Anti Monopoly paper to
be started at Upton, about the 10th
OF this month, by Raber Bros.
The above, from late Davenport
Gazette. is the first formal or definite
we have seen Of an
event which rumor has been herald
ing for two months. We know that
a number Of those in the county who
are most active in trying to cover
the Democratic ears with the "Anti-
Monopoly" lion skin, have been anx-
ious for an "organ"; and at last it
seems patience and perseverance, are
to meet their usual reward. OF
course this is oil right and proper.
Two parties are necessity in our
civil polity, and there is no reason
why they should not both have news
papers in every town and county-if
they choose to support them.
We shake hands cordially with our
contemporary that is to be, and vel
come it to the new field which it EVIL
IDENTIFY expects to find white for har-
vest and yielding many rich shelves.
We do not expect to agree with the
Farmer in every respect; but how
ever we may differ, or combat each
the ideas q tho other, politically, any
descent 70 the vituperation and per
sonal recrimination 20 justly Offensive
to the public shall certainly mot b
the fault of the ADVERTISER. a

plain itself:
IRoUroS, Mo-, Jan. %, 1874.
Mn. EDITOR: During our recent
visit to your county, which was our
home, we received such uniform kind
ness from all our old friends and
neighbors, and were the recipients of
SO many pleasant favors, that we have
concluded to ask space in your col.
umns to thank our many friends for
their kindness. There is nothing
more cheering, MS we journey down
the decline of life, than to meet and
receive from old friends such very
kind welcome, and we acknowledge
ourselves indebted to those in Cedar
county for as pleasant and happy a
visit as could possibly be enjoyed.
Among our new friends we remem-
Der, particularly, the minister, who
offered in our behalf fervent prayer
for our safe journey home.
