-Messrs. J. w Daily and John j. Hor-
nick the Jury Commissioners elected last
. November, signaliZed the beginning Of the
Z new year by last week filling the wheel with
the names of nearly one thousand taxpayers,
from which the juTies for the current year
shall be drawn, and on Friday last, assisted
by Sheriff Griffith, drew the several juTies
which are spread forth elsewhere in this
paper. Though unalterably opposed to the
entire jury Commissioner business, we can
vet truly say that MeSsTs Daily and HOTnick
give promise Of filling the existing bill salts
factorly.
We are informed that the fair in aid of
Father Davins (CathOlic) church, summit
vile, will be brought to a definite conclusion
on the evening of Saturday, the 31st inst,
when the articles remaining on hand viii be
disposed of by one method or another. An
elegant sleigh i then to become the property
Of whoever shall have the highest number of
votes scored up against his name, at twenty
five cents a vote. Mr.. James 4. Maher and
Nir. John Lahey are the principal contestants
for the prize and considerable local interest
attaches to the outcome Both are working
hard, and in any event the church will reap
a rich harvest.
We copy the following item from the
Cedar Falls correspondence Of the Cedar
Valley Tribune. Iowa &C. &. Ritter. bag
gage-alaster at the B., c. r. Il y depot has
been admitted to the position of night clerk
in the yard at Cedar Rapids. Charley IS in
teligent and reliable, and viii justify his
promotion The foregoing complimentary
mention refers To a young gentleman who a
couple Of years ago went hence to Iowa To
seek his fortune lie is younger brother
Of Mr.. y. NJ. Ritter, the efficient and court
eous passenger brakeman ON our Branch
road, who cannot be promoted too soon or
too much for his deserts.
The Altoona Tribune needn't take on
any agony about Chairman SechierS call for
a meeting of the Democratic Committee Of
this county, as that gentleman knows what
he Is doing, and the proposed meeting is an
oppoTtGue and important one, the main OBJ
ject of which Is to consult in regard to 4 much
needed change in the present method of
making nominations, and if need be appoint
ing subcommittee to revise the rules now
in vogue. The ''iate election frauds, " real
or imaginary, iu this county, therefore has
nothing 20 dU with the matter nor j. there
any reason for Surpccting ''sOnlc Of the Lead
ing Democrats Of concocting political
scheme on their own account"
