nARVESTERS AGAIN.
a Word in Reply 10 the Evans
Manifesto.

We have but little to say in reply
to Evans 4 Sons article in the last
ADVERTISER. There were enou oh
farmers present to see the working of
oil the machines so that we need not
repeat the history Of the trial. IfG.
ID. Evans & Son are not satisfied, let
them try to make those who saw the
trial believe they have the Boss har-
vester. Neither did we propose to
be personal; but as Mess. +. think
we are putting wind against sense,
let the readers of the ADVERTISER
compare the articles. And as for
keeping truth on our side (for which
advice, thanks y the public says that
if G. ID. Evans & Son wish to do bus
mess in Upton, they must put on the
same kind of a coat and lay aside
their present one. As for the testi.
monials about the Edward, to read
them will convince any farmer that he
doesn't want one. The idea of a
machine that is "cntirely faul.less" is
enough to disgust any man OF sense.
As for the trial of July -, the less
G. ID. Il. & Son say about that the
better. Messrs. Moife,t had neither
beer, whiskey nor cappers to help
them; and right here let us advise
Mr.. Evans another time to secure
cappers, if he must have them, who
will not blow on him so quick after
the trial. And when he sells a ma
chine in the morning before the trial
or before either machine gets into
the field, he should be sure and post
the customers not to tell it the same
day. VIM. and A. Thompson are
farmers who were present, and who
could not be roped in by cappers; and
while on the subject OF testimonials
we will give the gentlemen a few
more from some of the best farmers
in Cedar Co.:
This is to certify that | attended a field
trial between tho Adams Il French and Mas
sillon haryestcrs on the farm of Mrs. Har-
rict A. Huber, and that | consider the Mas
sillon very desirable harvesting machine.
IL Is good cutter, good elevator, strong
and durable machine In my estimation,
the Adams Il French does not surpass it in
any respect.

This is to certify that we attended the
trial of harvesters on the farm of NJ. Golf
man, July Goth, between the Massilon, Ell
ward and Marsh. The test was certainly a
severe one. being first in heavy green oats
and thep in barley badly down on very
miry ground. We are decidedly in faver OF
the Massillon for lightness of draft general
durability and for the best work.

BALLoU's MONTHLY MAGAZINE FOR

THE following item is taken from
letter to the Davenport Daily Ga=-
elite, dated at Dixon, Scott county,
August It'll:
Mr.. J. G. Sheldon, our grain buyer,
takes up his abode with US to-day. He
intends to push your market, and is
now paying from 25c. to Coo. for bar
lev, and offers Chicago prices for any
good barley that there may be in the
country. He states that he can draw
most of the grain for 20 miles around
as he can 60 over the top figures Of
other dealers. How he disposes Of
it at profit is mystery, but as long
as he fetches the trade TO Dixon, and
pays cash, we can hardly complain,
and do not care to investigate his
business further. The farming COM
munity will certainly be greatly ben
Gifted by having an elevator at this
point, as they have long needed an
accessible market.

As is too common with newspapers

As is too common with newspapers
when there appears to be possibility
for making grain OF political CAPT.
tai, the Conservative, without stop
ping a moment to investigate the
truth or falsity Of the report deroga-
tory to the character of Mr.. Lawrie
Tatum as man and an officer, gives
it ublicity with perfect positiveness
Just as if it had investigated and
knew whereof it affirmed. This is
so manifestly unfair that no COM
ment is necessary; and the fact
that the charge is wholly unfounded
and that it was made in q very offen-
sive manner, does not make the posi-
ton in which the Conservative will
find itself any more agreeable.

HoGs.-About the first considera-
BILE shipment Of hogs for this season
went from here Tuesday-eight car
loads being sent by Nelson Stanton
and four by Recder Bros. Reeder's,
we believe, were all purchased from
O. NJ. Culver; and Stanton drove his
all off his own place. The whole lot
were fine, smooth ones.

In another column are published
couple of items from the
Muscatine Journal in regard to Mr..
Lawrie Tatum, we'll known as prom
inent west-side citizen of this county,
for some years serving as an Indian
Agent. We have understood that
some lack of formality Incl dent to
the red tape of departmental rules
prevented final settlement Of Mr.. I, s
account, but even this would seem
from the Journals later item to be
incorrect. No one, we venture to
assert, who knows Mr.. Tatnmh, has ev-
er believe that any suspicion Of dis
honesty could attach in the premises.
Since writing the above we have
positive information from the most
reliable source that there is no cause
whatever for such report as that
stated in the Journal.

farm of l60 acres to p. M. Vest, Of

in short time. Mr.. Vest is an en-

and will be valuable addition to the
citizens Of that township. Mr.. Forbes
will purchase elsewhere in the coun-
ty, as we are pleased to know, in
stead Of going to other sections Of
the country. He is one of our SUBJ

can lily afford to lose him. The sale
of his farm was effected through Head

sideration was $4,000. = Jefferson

JusT So.-We have not bought
all of our rev fall stock. We find it
impossible to sit in our store and buy
goods q, anything like low figures
Some dealers have done so this fall,
which may be all right according to
their way Of selling goods, but in or.
der to place goods down to the lowest
notch, where they belong, we find it
necessary to go into the market and
buy Of the manufacturer, thus saving
about Ii per cent. in buying which
we can give to our customers instead
of the high-priced runners. Hence,
we viii go east next week for the ma
iority of our new goods, and our new
fall prices shall prove what we now
say. NJ. N. STEWART,

A DELIBERATE RASCAL - The
$4,000 HIs'S-CoNsIDERABLE RICn-
NRss.-The more recent developments
in the case Of Rockwell, the orange
hider, whose sudden disappearance
from this horizon was noted last
week, indicate that, instead Of being
lazy greenhorn, who gradually al
lowed himself to become involved
until he could no longer stand the
pressure, he was a deliberate and
premeditated villain and swindler-
with rihed bore and globe sights, at
that.
Allusion was made last week to
the fact that Rockwell left here for
Davenport to negotiate loan Of
$4,000 for some farmer. HIS GUS
toner was Mr.. Jas. Storms, a former
resident of Inland, and who now owns
farm there although staying in
Colorado. Mr.. Storms was here some
months ago, and the result Of opera
tons then begun on him by Rock
we'll, and continued by letter, was
that not long since he furnished r.
with duly executed mortgage on
his land here as security for the loan
of $4,000 and also with Power of
Attorney to enable him to draw the
money. Thus armed he went to
Davenport and obtained the money
from Mr.. Schutt, loan agent there
taking it in large bills instead Of a
draft, as suggested, because, as he
said, Hammond would charge too
much to cash the latter-and then
capped the climax by borrowing
from Mr.. S. SO with which to get
home. With this stake, added to
whatever he may have had left from
his operations here-including quite
an amount of premiums on insurance
policies which it transpires he en-
bezzled instead Of transmitting to the
companies-he left Davenport two
weeks ago yesterday morning, and is
now vege'ating in the salubrious
climate Of "parts unknown"
Last week some representative Of
the Insurance company came here
and took possession of Rockwell's
books and papers, Except, Of course
the abstract books mortgaged to
Chas. Hawley aud Others and among
them was diary commenced by the
young man in the beginning of the
year 1875, when he was somewhere
