DIED. At Madison, Wis., April 6th, 1879, of hemorrhage of the liver, H.E. HOWE, aged
69 years, lacking 19 days. Mr. HOWE settled at Monona about 50 years ago, where he resided until 8 years ago,
when he removed to Madison, Wisconsin. Being one of the pioneers in this section
of northern Iowa he was well known to all the old settlers. He had been in feeble
health for some time, but was not confined closely to his bed until last Saturday
and on Sunday he passed away. His remains were brought to Monona and deposited in
the Cemetery there on Wednesday. He leaves a wife and six children to mourn his
loss, among the latter, F.A. HOWE, of Waukon, and E.L. HOWE, of Ossian, both well
known here.

C.P. DARLING will follow Mr. BURHANS to Nebraska in a few days also in search of
land we believe. They expected to go together but Mr. DARLING could not get ready
as soon as Mr. BURHANS wanted to go.
J.B. SCHMIDT inaugurates the building season by putting up a fine, large wing on
the north side of his store, to be used as a work shop. He will thus have the entire
space of his store room for goods, and he intends to fill it up.
I will sell the Star Corn Planter for $45, on time for the next 30 days, and as cheap
as any one for cash. E.J. DAILEY, Luana, Iowa.
Card of thanks. We wish pubicly to return our sincere thanks to the citizens of Postville
for their kind assistance at the fire which occurred on the morning of March 31st,
and which consumed our home and place of business. By their efforts much of the

be called to see their own homes thus melt down in an hour. Mrs. V. SCHMITZ &
family.
