our thanks for big watermelon, per-
feet whopper, as luscious as large

but competitors need not necessarily be
driven off the track Bring on your big
melons.

ley Trotting Association, to be held Oct

Big CoRN.-W. H. Joslin (of Joslin-
vile, brought into our sanctum four
ears of corn, which for size we rather
think will beat anything that can be
grown in the corn linc-outside of this
county. They measured from II to Is
inches in length, and the kernels are as
hard and firm as any we have ever seen
at this season. If any of our neighbors
can find any corn larger than this, trot
it out and we will look further
Do not forget that Geo. B. Warne
will speak at the Armory on Saturday
evening, Sept. 81, under the auspices of
the Republican Club of this township.
Come out if you wish to hear the fnan-
cial problem clearly solved. Also, Re-
publicans should remember that Hon.
S. j. Kirkwood, U. S. Senator of Iowa,
will speak at Quasqueton on the after
noon of Tuesday, Oct. 1st, and at indie
pendence on the evening of the same
day Members of all parties invited
FINE PAINTINGs.-We call attention
to the advertisement of Miss Hattie V.
Freeman in another column The
paintings she offers for sale are display
ed at the store of Tabor & Tabor, and
will need only the skillful eye of a con-
noisseur, to discover that they are rare
genius of art Miss Freeman is desir-
Gus of going to Chicago soon, and will
close out the whole lot at very low
prices. 1t may be a long time before
our citizens will have an opportunity to
purchase such views again, and all
should call and examine them.
Hon. THOMAS UPDEGRAFF, Republi-
can candidate for Congress, delivered
three speeches in this county since our
last issue, at Quasqueton, Independence
and Jesup. He was everywhere greet
ed with full houses, and made the most
favorable impression upon our people,
to most of whom he was personally a
stranger Mr. Updegraff's discussions
of the political topics of the times were
characterized by good sense, logic, fam
iliarity with the subject and an effectiye
manner of delivery. In dealing with
the financial issue, Mr.. Updegraff makes
little use of statistics and voluminous
figures, preferring rather to show by
solid argument and apt and conclusive
illustrations from history, that the Fiat
money party and it's theories are essen
TALLY inconsistent with wise finance and
inherently dishonest. This he does
most effectually. Mr.. Updegraff is a
ready and forciblc speaker and is max
ing a good canvass.
DOUBLE DISTILLED BLESSEDNEss.-
The observing reader will remember
that we made brief allusioh few
weeks ago to the pranks that the my
illogical divinity of the tender passion
had been playing in this vicinity of late
The first victims of the tyrant are well
known to our people, being Mr. W. L..
Evers, son of Joseph Evers, the Chat
ham street manufacturer, and Miss Eva
Vinegar, daughter of j. L. Vinegar,
one of our oldest citizens. The happy
event took place at the residence Of the
parents of the bride, on Sunday after
noon last, and the ceremony was per-
formed by Rev. +. M. Robertson, pas
tor of the NJ. f. Church About 30 or
40 of the most intimate friends and rel
atives of both families were present.
Both the parties to the contract have
grown up among us from childhood, and
are universally respected and admired
for their many good qualities We
hope that they may continue to make
their abiding place in Independence, and
live among us to green old age, sur
rounded by host Of young Ererses.
