LOCAL CORRESPONDENCE.
PELLA.
January IS, 1875,

January Is, 1875.
Our citizens are becoming interested
in the matter Of railroad connection
with your place. A meeting was held
at the Mayors office on Monday even
ing of last week, at which committee
was appointed to correspond with citi-
zens of Knoxville in regard to making
arrangements for union meeting to
consider the feasibility of the project.
This, we hope, Is the beginning of a
work that will unite the two places
more closely than they have been
heretofore. A railroad from here to
Knoxville would undoubtedly be a
great convenience to both places, and
especially to that part of our county
aud would certainly be paying in
vestment.
The Catholic portion of our COM
munity are making preparations for a
grand festival and break down at
Msasdsm's Hall, on Wednesday even
ing Of next week. The object is to
raise money to finish paying for their
church building in this place.
John Gordon, Esq, aud wife, OF
Clay township, passed through this
place one day last week on a few
weeks visit to friends in eastern Ohio.
Geo. l.. Mosier aud Miss Sarah Crate
are to be married In the Nj. +. Church,
In this place, on "Wednesday of this
week. At least that is what some
neat-iooking cards say that have come
to our notice.
Our ice dealers have their summers
supply In store, and 1t Is az fine crop
as We ever saw harvested, the blocks
being about two feet in thickness and
of excellent quality.
Bill Wagaman and wife, who have
been on few months visit to friends
in Pennsylvania, returned last week.
We have not heard of any fatal re-
suits from the effects OF the intense
cold of the past ten days, but have
noticed a number of people going
about with their frozen feet done up
in rags and their noses and ears in
sings.
The railroad boys. or some of them
at least, find amusement of Sundays
In taking possession OF a caboose,
squaring lamp box around in front
of the stove and manipulating the
papes for any small change the
boys" may happen to have about
them. If they are short of /" wealth y
they make up PONY purse,n send
off and get % bottle of " coon SCUM y
and play to see who shall take a sup
and who shall only have the privilege
Of smelling the bottle. The more sups

HARRrSGTON-At the home OF her
father, in Clay township, Marion Co.,
Iowa, Jan. IA, 1875, Nettie, aged 5
years, daughter Of Thos Harrington.
MArHEws.-At her residence in
Knoxville, Iowa, Dec. 18th, 1875, at
4 q. M, Mrs. Hannah Mathews,
aged SO years, months and J days.
So passed away one Of the oldest
persons in our community, one who
had long since passed the allotted
three score years and ten. Mrs.
Mathews was born in Brock county,
Va, August 10, 17s5; married to Mr..
Mathews in 1906. Removed to Trum-
bull county. Ohio, in the same year.
United with the Presbyterian church
in 1904, at the Flats, under the minis
try of Rev. Geo. Scott. Thus Mrs.
Mathews has been for IS years MEM
bet Of the church. Came to Iowa in
Oct. 1854, and upon the 2Sth day Of
the same month, together with her
husband united with the then infant
church which had been organized the
December before. Ten months after
their removal she was called upon to
part with her husband, who fell a vic
tim to the fearful scourge, cholera,
which visited this community In 1855.
For twenty years has she been con-
tinuous member Of the Presbyterian
church at this place, the longest con-
tinuous membership upon the church
roll, excepting three, who have been
members from the organization of the
church. Her life has been consist
ent christian one throughout. For
the past ten years she has by reason OF
the infirmities of age, been unable to
be i'm her place i'm the house of wor-
ship rs regularly as was her wont in
other days. Yet she made the word
of God her daily study, and was actu-
ated by the spirit of Christ which was
then revealed. So passed away one
who had grown up as a ripe shock
fully ready for the sickle Of the reap
er. She has gone home, but her life
and memory still remain as strong
witnesses of the power of Christ. Her
last end was peaceful. She gently fell
asleep in the arms Of Jesus without q
single struggle.
The funeral services were held in
the Presbyterian church when many
friends and acquaintances met to pay
the last tribute Of respect to the dead,
from which place her remains were
taken to the east cemetery and there
deposited, awaiting the summons
which shall bid the redeemed body
rise glorified body in the likeness of
that Saviour, Jesus Christ, the Lord,
who declares to all his children, f" Be
cause l live We shall live also"

PelIa Railroad.

Our Pella correspondent mentions a
meeting held at Pella one day last
week and the appointment of a COM
mittee to correspond with citizens OF
Knoxville In reference to building a
railroad to connect the two places.
From the Democrat we learn that
james Mutingh was Chairman Of the
meeting, aud II. +. Bousquet, secre-
tary. The following resolution was
adopted:
Rcsolued, That q committee Of three
be appointed to open correspondence
with the leading railroad men of
Knoxville, relative to the propriety of
holding a Union meeting, either at
Knoxville or Pella in order to consider
the feasibility Of building railroad
from Pella to Knoxville.
II. Neyenesch, N. j. Gesman and
G. e. Snow were chosen as the COM
mittee contemplated by the resolution.
The meeting voted that the proceed
ings be published in the Knoxville
aud Pella papers.
It has now been more than q week
since this meeting was held, and yet
we have received no information Of
its doings and motives except such
as we have been able to pick up indi-
rectly. The names Of persons mem
toned above are such rs TO give credit
to the meeting, but we have seen no
other sign Of earnestness or business
like intention In the matter. We in
dulge a hope that the Pells people are
not springing this project just at this
time for the purpose Of dividing our
energies and organizing discord with
the object Of defeating our cndeavols
to secure road. Knoxville has never
yet made an earnest move for the
building of railroad from the south
east but she was dosed and tormented
| with pills and counter-irritant blisters
prepared 10y somebody i'm the interest
Of Pella or leighton or the ID. V. Com
psny, or all Of them together. And as
soon as they could distract us sufficient
ly to entirely thwart our efforts, they
always relapsed into silence until We
again became restless and showed
signs Of doing something to free our
selves from the constant tribute levied
upon Us by these parties. This move
meht in view Of similar efforts In the
past, indicates fear upon the part of
certain parties and interests, that
Knoxville will secure road. In that
case Pella would lose tens of thousands
Of dollars annual tribute paid her by
Knoxville and vicinity; and the X. g.
d. M. road will lose the patronage of u
very large and valuable section lying
along the south side Of the riverall the
way from Eddyville to Des Moines.
Knoxville is !anguishing, dying for
railroad outlet, and now. as we hope,
fairly appreciates the fact. The same
feeling pervades the people Of all the
rich agricultural and mining region
abnve mentioned. Every man in Knox
vile would rejoice to be placed In di-
rect railroad connection with our
jealous sister city Of Pella, and with
the Keokuk & Des Moines railroad !;
aud evory man would do his utmost,

RUNAwAY.--A team belonging to
Mr.. Wolfe, who lives eight miles
southwest Of town, took fright on the
street north OF the courthouse last
Thursday, and made fast time toward
home with new wagon and new
stove, both of which were considera-
bly, demolished when the horses were
halted mile or two from the starting
ground. The horses sustained no ma
terial injury.
Knoxville journal. [volume] (Knoxville, Iowa) 1874-1986, 1875-01-21

at proper time, to bring about the
desirable consummation. But we
must be allowed to suggest that IL the
people Of Pella mean business, and
earnestly desire the building of such q
road as they suggest and desire help
from Knoxville to secure IL, they
should make their advances to us at q
time when we can all unite with them
in such q strong pull for it as would
insure success--at such time as we are
not engaged in a hopeful struggle for
relief from another direction. They
should not ask us at such time as
this to loose our hold upon a strong
rope and attempt to lift ourselves out
of the pit by means Of such a fragile
thread as they are now offering us.
They must know that we cannot
build two roads, nor materially assist
in building two at the same time. And
yet they choose anime when we are
negotiating with the Quincy & st.
Paul company and are under obliga-
tions to give our attention and ener-
gies to the work of securing contract
for the completion Of our A. X. g. d.
road. If our endeavors in that direc-
ton should fail, and we should not be
able to do better than give our hand to
Pella, then let her offer it, or intimate
by word or act that she would consider
our proposition, aud we shall not be
slow to "go a-wooing" across the Des
Moines.
We cannot think our friends
Muntingh, Bousquet, Neyenesch,
Gesman and Snow, all good re-
liable and responsible citizens
and business men and a strong
team, would knowingly lend
themselves to q project, to defeat
our efforts to secure q road. Indeed
we cheerfulIy give them credit for
honorable motives and a laudable de-
sire to benefit their own town and
ours but we think their movement
IL ill-timed, as we are not just now in
such situation as to be able to give
the aid we should be glad to give
at another time. We want a road to
Pella, but must give first attention to
the matter in hand.
These are the views of the JOUR-
NAL, plainly, though we hope not of
fensively stated. Tn just how far they
are held by the people of this commu-
nifty we cannot say. We are not
speaking for others, and should not
have said thus much but for the fact
that these counter-irritants have been
applied several times heretofore at
just such critical and inopportune
times and this fact has made many
men here suspicious of them. The
JOURNAL will cheerfuily accord to the
Pella friends space in it's columns for
answer or explanation If they desire
