FEATHERS that have been In use for
a number Of years, become matted,
heavy aud unwholesome to sleep up
on. They need renovation. Good
housewives appreciate the necessity of
washing all wearing apparel and bed
clething frequently in order to pro-
mote health and yet they sometimes
for dozen years use feathers in beds
and pillows without cleansing. Think
OF this, and have your feather beds
renovated. Mr.. III. w. Groom is now
la Knoxville with machine for this
purpose. He will render old feathers
almost as good ms new. He brings
written certificates from citizens of
neighhoring towns where his process
has been tried, highly recommending
him and his work. Give him trial.
and you will be satisfied. Inquire of
any who have tested his work.

OTTUMwA has grown at surprising
rate within the past two years. In
that short time IL Is safe to say that no
inland town In Iowa, except possibly
Des Moines, has erected more substan-
tial brick business blocks and elegant
dwellings. The latter extends far out
upon the bluff beyond view from the
river. It's four railroads have given
1t an extensive and thriving business
and growing prosperity enjoyed by
few cities in the State, and have
brought In men Of capital and enter
prise, such as are wanted in every
town that aspires to city-like proper
tions, and to prominence in trade,
manufacture, and all those things
which, in the aggregate make the
live and prosperous city of the West.
While there, recently, we enjoyed a
drive through the city, and noted
many evidences of thrift which we
cannot mention In detail in this brief
article.
OF course we called at the nswspa-
per Offices. In the Courier sanctum
we found Messrs. A. y. Hamilton and
Il. II. Warden, the editors, vigorously
pushing Fabers In the interests Of
Radicalisn. Their excellent evening
paper is the only daily published In
the city. 1t cultivates its field Ia u
creditable manner, and is well sus-
tanned In laudable work. Ottumwa

phatic manner. He IL a mild man

who might easily be mistaken by a
stranger for a devout Sunday school
teacher or a temperance lecturer. One
Of the cardinal points in his creed Is
intense hatred OF Radicals, preachers
aud niggers. He gives utterance to
his convictions i'm terse and singing
language, and with a courage WORTHY
u better and more hopeful cause. We
find much to admire but more to con-
denim in every issue Of the Democrat.
Nevertheless we couldn't spare its
weekly visits to our sanctum. It's

have cast its lot into pleasant places,

welcomed to the Republican ranks
Notwithstanding friend Barker's
wish" Peggotty wants Van to come
to Iowa to meet Gov. Stone In joint
discussion.
They would make the fur fly, and
make fun for the boys" but would
only stir up dirt and do little good to
either side. Some Republicans may

very good proof of sincerity in his re-
