A WORTHY ENTERPRISE.
One of the staunchest enterprises in
Milan, is the nahufactory of our wide
awake fellow tuwnsman, j. II. Holt.
IF we had few other establishments
of the kind out town would swell its
proportions rapidly. A tour of in
spection through these shops display
ed a vim and activity rarely seen in
places no larger than this. Mr. Holt
is making fitst-class buggies at from
eighty to ninety dollars and wagons at
from forty to sixty dollars. His work
is executed in skillful manner and
guaranteed to give satisfaction. His
coffin warerooms contain a large stock
of these goods, at prices from so to
100 per cent. less than usually sold.
We direct the attention of the reader
to the card of Mr. Holt in this issue,
and cordially recommend him to the
trade.

The groom is a brother of one of
the editors of this paper, and, being
younger by several years, his marriage

reflection that we are still tout in the

The bride is a model of her sex,
combining, as she does, all the grace
which lends a charm TO womanly
character. May the horizon of their
hopes be gilded with the bright sun
shine of a happy fruition, and may
their dream of love never be disturb.

Tho Hawkeye MAN ON Ed,tors.

They are familiar with all the slang
and business phrases of the money mar
ket: they write about millions as ordinary
men talk about dollars; they know how
to pay the national debt; they build rail-
roads: they organize magnificent min
ing and transportation companies with
fabulous capital; they declare war with
out consulting the ROthchilds, and if all
the banks in America were to fail to-
morrow, the editors wouldn't be cent
poorer than they are to-day. Yes, they
are rich. They associate with the money
ed classes, they sit down at table with
kings, and sometimes, in happier, luckier
moments, with aces; if you want to bOr-
row money, go to the editOr;he will turn
to his advertising columns and tell you
where you can borrow it. If you have
money to loan, rather than see you SUI
| fer, he will borrow it of you himself.
Rich? He knows the secrets of the mon
eyed-rings: he divulges the plans and
schemes of the heavy operators to the
people; he rOars himself louder than the
bulls, and grOwls among the bears; his
voice is heard in the temples of the mon
ey changers, asking for mOney;he MARBLES
his little rOundelay out on the curbstOne,
i'm melancholy minor key, when he
doesn't get it. Oh yes, editors are rich.
When you want to spend all the money
you have in this wide, wide world, go to
your lawyer; when you want something
done for nothing, HE you to your news
paper Office. Then when you want to
send some man to Congress-, send your
lawyer. because you can get along with
] out him.
