MR.. EDIroR:-I noticed short article
in each of the Muscatine papers in ans
wer to few remarks in the Upton AD-
vERTIsER, in regard to the Otter Greek
Bridge. would here say it would be un-
just for the public to have any wrong
impression in regard to the writer OF
that article. The writer did not intend
to be understood that the workmanship
was not good for that style Of bridge, but
that in this enlightened age of the world,
SO rich . county, should build such
style of bridge on main travelled road.
The writer never asked to build bridge
in that county. nor probably never will.
but would here say, l venture that
there has been more notice taken of that
bridge. and its locality, than there has
been of the great Davenport bridge
by those that pass by it, l would ask
first, is it on the survey Of the road!
Second, how much will it take to get
team on It, and If it is ever made passi
BILE for teams, how long will it stand
when that little, rapid stream gets high,
- it often does! but, Notwithstanding,
Cedar county is thankful for small IA
vors as long - they last.

Notice is given to the members OF the
Xenophonian Literary Society that a
meeting will be held on Saturday eve.
August 9Th, at Usage school house, and
weekly thereafter. Everybody Is in
vited to attend our meetings.
Times are somewhat dull at Pleasant
Hill at this time. For that reason, we
suppose, "hawkeye" has found nothing
to do. The Brethren held quarterly
meeting At their chapel last Sunday
The people we're overjoyed to see their
good pastor. Mr.. Bunce, once more, who
has been sorely afflicted for some time,
though he was too i'll to preach to us.
Politics doesn't trouble us here. We
are too busy with harvesting the abund-
ance Of grain, with which the Advise
has blessed US. Mr. r. L. Rowe Is with
US at present, having returned from
Cornell College, where he graduated.
Having prosperity, we wish 1t to all,

A Good Suggestion.

Mr.. EoIToR:-As no person appears
to suggest when, where, or how the Rc-
publican convention shall be held, l will
make the following suggestions: That
the preliminary csucuses be held in the
several townships on Saturday the 22d
day OF August, and that the County Con
ycntion be held at Upton the following
Saturday. That the delegates from the
several Supervisor Districts hold their
Conventions ut Upton to nominate can.
didates for Supervisors in their respec-
tive districts ON the same day Of the
County Convention-the delegates from
the several townships to such County
Convention constituting the delegates to
the different district conventions. BY
doing this it is probable that . better ex-
preston of the people will be had at the
preliminary caucuses, and it will also
save the trouble of so many conventions
at this busy season Of the year.

DISTRICT CONVENTION. - Since
penning the few lines upon the coun-
ty convention which appear else
where herewith, we have received q
call for District Convention for the
purpose of nominating Republican
candidate for Supervisor from the
Fourth District, which we publish as
requested. It may be that other
Districts will prefer to follow the
example thus set, or that this one
will choose to utilize the suggestion
that one set Of delegates be chosen
to serve both in District and County
conventions-as the former could
very easily be held here on the Goth
inst. without interfering with the
latter. 1t does not to us seem at all
material which plan or what plan is
selected, 50 that all interested shall
have due notice and be able to act
intelligently.

we're perpetrated by the printers in
last weeks publication Of a commun-

it herewith, duly corrected, in order
that justice be done to him. He
also adds short chapter, which we
rather hope he may conclude to
make final one--not that we wish
to suppress anybody or anything,
but in some way we have become
impressed with the idea that the
general public does not take quite
the same interest in this matter with
Mr.. Carey and some others, and it is
to something of general interest to
which we desire as nearly as posi-
BILE to devote these columns.

OuR COUNTY FAIR.-Remcmbe,
our county fair, and get ready for
it. Watch your crops and save your
extras for exhibition. The show this
year bids fair to be one Of the best
ever given in the State. The soci-
ETY. is supposed to be on . sound
financial basis. The plan of paying
premiums in full IN cash on demand
has been established, and will be
perpetuated. Among the many fairs
scattered through this part of Iowa,
this is something so unusual as to
deserve especial notice. Our ground
il Of the best and the track second
to none. Cedar has the name Of Civ
ing first-class county fair, and there
is no reason in the world why she
should not continue to deserve it.
Such reputation is really valuable
to county. 1t is good advertise
ment-one of the best it can have.
A county that has large exhibitions
Of fine horses, cattle, hogs, grain, pro-
duce, fruit, home manufactures, &C.,
&C., and where the people are inter-
ested in and patronize well the
county Fair, is evidently wealthy
and prosperous-and SO it goes forth
to the world. More than this-by
the comparison Of the best stock and
products, with the explanations
which naturally arise, there are val
liable lessons to be learned by the
exhibitors. The opportunity Of max
ing the experience of individuals
valuable to the community at large |
and for the interchange Of opinion
and information is the best that can
possibly be offered to an agricultural
community. The enterprise is wholly
in the hands and at the mercy Of the
people of the county at large. What
will you have ia success and a
credit to old Cedar, or an ignominious

COUNTY CoNvENTIoN.-As ap-
pears in the proper column, the call
for delegate convention to put in
nomination Republican candidates for
County Recorder and for Clerk of the
Courts, has been issued in behalf of
the Central Committee. In connec-
ton with this convention and the
caucuses which must precede it, a
correspondent makes what we con-
ceive to be very good suggestions. =
They had, however, been substan-
TALLY anticipated by the recommen-
dation of the Chairman of the Cen
trail Committee. OF course every
district remains at liberty to take any
course Republicans there may see
proper in making their nomination
for Supervisor, but it seems to us the
plan proposed has many obvious ad-
vantages.
