Harvest Feast.

1t has been suggested that after the har-
vest is ended, and the fruits Of the season $
toll are secured, that the farmers have a
grand harvest feast in the new elevator at
this place. 1t seems to us that it would
be very appropriate manner to dedicate
this new receptical for the famers' grain.
The erection Of this elevator by our far
mers makes an era in their history. 1t
will, when in operation, be permanent and
lasting benefit to every producer in this
section of the country Prices will range
higher. Farmers will be better satisfied to
know that men of their own calling are
purchasing their products. The town will
be benefited by being made No. mar
ket. What better thing could the farmers
do than after harvest to have geneal
gathering in their elevator, have basket
dinner, roasted OK, and general jubilee.
Let the stockholders in the elevator talk
this over and make arrangements for such
a gathering. The farmers need a holiday
once in while 1t will do them good to
forget toll and all the anxieties and per-
plexities of the husbandman for one day,
and devote it to social intercourse, rest,
recuperatiOn and general enjoyment. By
all means let US have q harvest feast.
Let it be good, old fashioned time.
children and relations, and have good
time Farmers, write us what you think
about it.-lndependent.
We indorse every word of the above
paragraph. Let US have grand old time.
Let the town make the proper and neces-
sary ARRANGEMENTS, and then invite every
farmer in Tama county to come up, get
acquainted with his neighbors, and have
q day Of grand rejoicing and good cheer.
There Is NO reason Why this could not be
made grand success.

reading that Reply" my knees trem-
bled, my hair stood erect and my blood
almost froze, Notwithstanding the Their

ed by the sarkusticn ink Singer of the

better citizens, who from time to time may
venture their humble opinions through the
columns Of the CHRONICLE, great indeed
will be the devastation between now and
October. The writer of that delecta-
Bile article intimates that my production
"was born in the CHRONICLE family,
and in its Office" Well, so far as the
family is concerned it was, for that
tribe is rather numerous around these
parts, us it will doubtless discover after
election But as to the Office, will mere
~ say in Justice to the editor of the CHRoN-
ICLE, that he knew nothing of it until

it, | presume, in the same manner which
he and other publishers generally use

out comment, and without first consulting
the would-be Moguls across the way
The independent tries very hard to COW

when a paper uses its columns for the

are engaged in one of the grandest refor-
nations of the age, and almost before
the ink is dry upon it, dastardly out

just as we are going to press we receive
the dreadful news that Chicago is again
on fire. We have not as yet received full
particulars. We copy the following from
the Davenport Daily GAZETTE Of yesterday
The dispatches last night tell fearful
story-onc which will sadden the hearts Of
the entire land. The angel Of destruction
seems to hover over Chicago, with fam
ing torch in hand, ready to bring death
and destruction at moments warning
Scarcely has the most wonderful city of
modern times risen in glory from the dust
and ashes of II, and regained her former
degree OF prosperity and grandeur than she
is called to mourn the loss of part which
was spared before. Many palatial resi-
dences and large blocks of business
houses which sheltered thousands of poor
souls on those long to- be remembered Oc-
tober nights, have succumbed to the
present attack of the enemy, and the in
habtants who now dwell in security can
have chance to repay the kindness
received nearly three years ago. Perhaps
the present conhagration is not to be com
pared with the ''big" fire. either in extent
or pecuniary loss, but it is great calamity
for Chicago in its present condition.
The fire, as near as can be determined
from the report, started about 4:30 Tues
day afternoon in paint shop in build
ing on the corner of Twelfth and Clark
streets. Itran north and northeast through
Fourth Avenue, Third Avenue, State
street and several blocks along the West
side of Wabash Avenue as far up as Harr-
son and Van Buren, streets. Many stately
buildings and costly which but Tuesday
morning were raising their roofs far up
towards the sky, are now in ashes 1t
was hoped the fire might be brought
under control before the new First Baptist
Church was destroyed, But all hopes
were in vain. The savage monster i'm
petuously dashed on and left this with the
rest. One or two other churches have
also disappeared, besides some public build
ings Of Importance. Uncle sam who gen
orally has to sustain his part of the dam
age to any city, was obliged in this case
TO have all his valuables gathered together
and removed 10 place of safety. 1t was
well, for not long after the old postotlice,
on the corner of Harrison st. and Wabash
Avenue, was in flames. The extreme
limit of the fire in this direction is nearly
to jackson street.
