Theattention of the American people is divert
ed from the iron heel OF the tyrant and the gall
ing chains OF oppression and the rest of the
| anatomy and hardware of elections, in the land
OF the Free, and directed to the Prospectus of
The HAWK-EYE, for 1870
The oldest paper in Iowa, and the best in
America.
1t was established thrty-fve years ago, and
never missed an issue or spelled word wrong,
never owed a cent, and never had a delinquent
subscriber. because, when q subscriber tailed
to ante, it killed him.
Its facilities for securing news is unsurpassed,
| and 1t furnishes the public with the local, gen.
eral, domestic and foreign news twenty-four
hours i'll advance of the telegraph
Its market reports are marveIs of commercial
knowledge, and are carefully compiled by q re-
porter who owns most all of the markets, thus
lnSuring completeness and reliability.
Its editorial columns have not been equalled
in profound erudition since AgassiZ died, and
the range of wonderful, popular, and general
subjects treated of and commented on therein,
IS only limited by the latest volume of the new
Encyclopedia
Its local department is attended to by bri-
gade OF reporters who eat by short hand and
sleep on the run. Things happen for them that
| never happen for any one else, and their valua-
6le services are only secured by THE HAWK
EYE, by an outlay of many, many thousands.
Its value as an advertising medium is too high
to be rated, without derrick. We can only
cite few instances.

THE HAwK-EYE points to its interminable
subscription list as an evidence of its great and
increasing popularity. If they were laid along

| they would reach from here to China. Among
