4 Move In the Right Direction.

Manager Forepaugh, whose famous
exhibition is To exhibit here ON Fri
day, July 18th, has adopted very
commendable plan in the mannor Of
exhibiting his great show One tick
ct for 80 cents, and children half
price, admits to all the tents, To the
entire exhibition. But the circus
tent is removed far away from the gil
gantic Menagerie and Museum tents.
This is done 80 that no one need abb
stain from visiting the vast collection
of animals and the grand museum, by
reason OF their dislike for circus dis
plays, or conscientious scruples con-
corning the propriety little folks"
attending circus. In nearly every
place visited during the present sea-
son, this plan of removing the circus
has been warmly approved by the
very best people, and an exchange re-
marks, that no tented exhibition ever
visited that city and was attended
by so many of that class
as was Forepaugh's great animal show
and museum" and il adds, "this was
due to the fact that the circus tent was
removed beyond the hearing of those
in the menagerie and museum tents. y
We trust this item will be .'made a
note of by the non-show-goingpe people
here and that no boy or girl will he
denied the rare pleasure OF seeing the
3 800 beasts and birds and $4,000 mu-
scum wonders in Forepaugh's mann
moth exhibition.

.N'. Edit0r:-ln your issue Of the
l4th | saw an account of meeting of
the First Settlers of Red Oak. They
seem TO be very grateful 70 the Giver
of all good for his kindness towards
them, and it well became them so to
be, for II would be hard to find anoth-
er settlement where there are so many
of the first settlers living 80 harmoni-
ously and prosperous as there are about
Red Oak. think it would be u
means of fostering fraternal feeling
in other neighborhoods if they would
do likewise.
Ii il said that it takes all kinds OF
people to make the world and there
are all kinds of people in the world
There has been, if not now, n very
different class of inhabitants in this
county from that which assembled at
Mr.. Ferguson's on the lst inst. The
citizens of Red Oak and its vicinity
trusted to the strong arm of the law
for twenty years during the period of
horse-stealing, and other depredations
were committed upon the peaceful
inhabitants, and justice seemed too
corpulent too pursue, for during that
time no offender for those crimes
were punished.
In the year 1857, twenty years ago,
the citizens of Red Oak, and its neigh
borhood, organized themselves into a
Mutual Protection Society, az also did
number of other neighhorhoods, and
after administering several doses of
their kind of justice, horse stealing
and destruction of property have be
come rare occurrences.
On the 18th inst the Red Oak Mutu-
al Protection Society alias Regulators
met at the Safely school house to hold
their annual meeting. 1t was called
to order by the President, new mem
bers were admitted and the usual
form of business gone through with.

The Committee OIL Finance reported
there was ample funds in the Treasu-
ry for any common emergency. They
congratulated themselves on being 50
fortunate for the last year, nothing
having happened to call them togeth-
err. There used to be an idea afioat
that all they wanted was an excuse
for action, but assure such il not the
case; it il only stern necessity that
cOmpels the Regulators to act. The
election Of officers then took place,
which resulted as follows: President

in here the other day fellow who
holds the responsible position of Sc
curing bill boards and show grounds
for Forepaugh's circus in less
than sixty minutes he had the whole
town by the ear. Men were "cussin"
their neighbors, abusing the Board OF
Supervisors and passing around "pe-
titions" between times. The great
Highcockalorum, the grand Mogul,
the Nicegerent of i-paw's bill wagon,
had declared in tones of thunder I'M
less he could grit the court yard with
his emblazoned bill boards, he would
take his great moral show right by
he would take it to Mechanicsville
he would take it to Bertram; yea.
before he would be banked Of his pur-
pose, he would take it to the devil
and for our part We wish he had
rather than that he should have been
confirmed in his idea that he could
run the town and the Board ofSupervi-
sors to the contrary notwithstanding.
But the great moral didn't go to
the devil; the bill-boards did go up
about the court square; and the bill
sticker is king-hear We him!

Editorial Correspondence
Mt. Vernon, Iowa, Monday ev'g,
June 18th, 1877.
Dear Adrertiser:-Cedar county is
such near neignborhood to this
point that the majority of your read
ers know the status and history of
the Methodist institution of learning
which gives all existing importance
to the village of Mt. Vernon much
too well to make any detailed refer
ence thereto either necessary or inter
esting. They are also almost equally
wellinformed In regard to the annual
tempest in teapot caused when the
college year comes 10 a conclusion,
the great "Seniors" are presented
with their little sheep-skins, and after
flood of people. which fairly over
flows into the surrounding country,
there is sort of dissolving view of
homeward plodding vehicles, over
loaded, Notwithstanding trains,
and the next day sees the lefty on a
hill" rather more quiet and lonely
than r. Crusoe's island.
What do so many people come here
for, do you ask? Why bless you, a
good many of 'em come because they
have habit of 1t. Then there is a
regiment of Methodist preachers who
come either from UNCONVENTIONAL or
stomachic considerations, and still
others of the cloth who are interested
i'm school or scholars. The alumnus
comes either out of affection for his
alma mater, or else to compare adj
vancement in the worldly battle with
