The Census and Directory.

The Census and Directory.
The REVIEW is much gratifed with
the enthusiasm and interest manifested
by Denlson business men in the pro-
posed census and directory. 1t is adj
mitted that the directory is something
that Denison needs, that it will help to
citify our town and that through it the
many newcomers to Denison will be
greatly aided in obtaining such infor-
nation as they may need relative to
our buslnt sses and trades.
The directory will contain full infor-
nation in regard to our churches,
schools. lodges, societies, clubs, etc. 1t
will be an official guide. The business
directory will cont lin the name OF
every line of industry represented in
Denison. every lawyer, physician, dem
fist, merchant, carpenter, mason, decor
ator. painter, blacksmith, and all the
hundred and one enterprises of which
our city boasts. The residence direct
DRY will give the house and street num-
| Der and the occupation of every man in
| town and Of every woman engaged in
business or independent work of any
kind. The census cards will he distri
buted on Saturday next and every
person is urged to have them filled out
and ready for the census takers call
on Monday, March 20.h. This is a
large undertaking on the part of the
REVIEW and we earnestly solicit the
intelligent assistance of everyone in
procuring the needed information.
Remember that any of your people
who, temporarily absent, are inhabit-
ants of Denison we wish their names
also as they come properly within the
scope of the census. Do not pad the
returns. Let us be honest and legiti-
mate, a large census may look we'll now
but the increase next year when the
government census is taken will not be
so satisfactory. Help us to make the
census aud directory credit to our
city, Yours for Denison.
The REVIEW.
In this issue we publish by request a
letter from Mrs. Eddy to the Christian
| Scientists. We confess that we are not
we'll enough acquainted with the tenets
| OF this belief TO pass an Intelligent
opinion thereon We believe there are
| many who pass harsh criticisms who
| are no better posted than ourselves and
| we would suggest that it is both the
part of wisdom aud Christianity not to
criticise anything which you know
nothing about.
The date of the republican state con-
vention is e. be changed as it conflicts
with the time fixed by their constitu-
ton tr the Pgthian conclave. The
Knights of Pythias comprise i'm their
ranks very much of the best brain and
energy Of Iowa; SO does the republican
party. AS it is impossible to be in two
places al the same time and us it would
require al amendment to the Pythian
constitution TO change their dates, the
republican convention will be held at
more convenient season.
In our oiliee hangs picture of Nc
Knley and atour home are the por-
traits of many of the great men of
earth; but on our Office desk there lies
a portrait that looks at us with smile
of ineffable love and kindness. 1t is
strong face full of frmness of purpose
and of high resolve. The eyes show
that they have felt both the bitterness
Of tears and the sunshine of happiness.

lines of care and sorrow and patient
suffering in that dear sweet face. but
every line is Touched with tenderness,

looks uoon us, and with a full heart we
thank God for the tale of love it tells.
