Glad You've Got Book Bindery.'

That's what one of our best FARMERS
said the other day, when he dropped in to
see the editor N oment, having a little
leisure while be was in town:
Glad you'v got book bindery-but
fact is I've poor excuse for not knowing
it before But when | read that piece
about the business man in Rock Island
looking at the new set of books at the
Harper House and admiring them so
much, and he didu know you had book
bindery, and he read The ARGUS every
day, didn't feel that was so very stupid
after ALL Well, what [ wanted to say was
that our old family bible has lost its covers;
they've worn off, and can you bind it over
again2''
Assuring him that we could rebind it 10
any style he wanted. he said
"idebby you could put new back on it
and use the old lids. But perhaps it had
better be bound over, / only gave $40 or
SIS for it when was young man, but
| $50 wouldn't buy it now. because it is my
old family bible. I'll bring it down next
time | come to town and have it bound
over"
We assured him that he could have the
| lids fastened on, or have as little or 10
| much done to it as he wished. And We
wish to say to all readers of THE ARGUS,
and the rest of mankind, thst we have a first
class bindery, first class tools, materials
and workmen, and that we are turning out
some of the finest work ever done in Rock
Island. Elegant bank books, railroad
books, county records, merchants books.
etc., etc., and all sorts of blank books for
mechanics and farmers, with or without
printed headings aud pages. and with any
kind of ruling desired.
People who have magazines, pamphlets,
files of newspapers, etc., that they want
bound can get them done at this Office
neat, quick and cheap. We bound SOM
40 or more volumes of magazines, last
week, for Capt. Pepper, of Mercer county.
We have made some fine work for Henry
county, and for this county. Samples of
our work can be seen nearly everywhere in
this vicinity, and we respectfully ask our
friends to throw any little job in our way
which they can. We agree to give entire
satisfaction to all who patronize THE
ARGUS Book BINDERY. Business office

Gen. JOSEPH Hooker, who is in Arkan-
sas, wrote as follows to the regular meet
ing of the Twentieth army corps in Phila-
delphia, on Monday: During the dark days
of the rebellion Mr.. Lincoln addressed a
communication to the governor tRector) 0
Arkansas, asking how many men and how
much money his state would furnish for
the war. The reply was, Not a man or a
dollar Now the state is almost crazy in
volunteering to form a regiment to visit
your centenniafat their own expense; and
she regiment, l am happy to say, was
nearly full in two days. 1t seems to me
that the hearts of these gentlemen cannot
be far removed from the right place.
When the centennial has been made
proper use of by our people, as | know il
will be, the war may be considered as
fairly over, the tomahawk buried, and,
may add, the red shirt and its advocates
with it."

Dem. J, Mr.. Blaine, in his speech on Mon,

has. The Democrats do not have to beat

will be made-one that, it is hoped, will
prove satisfactory to large number of

seems that friend Davies is determined to
do some Chicago business, for he has ar
ranged to run train from Sterling making
close connections with the Northwestern

hours quicker than the competing route,
and thus avoiding tedious night journey.
This arrangement will draw bus ness
and be very acceptable to our hotel keep
ers.
On the coming time card will be noticed
an additional train between Chapiu and St.

press, running between those two cities
without change of cars, This is bold
