This changable weather is conductive of colds and other bodily ailments. It is a little too wide a difference for the mercury to vary between 48 above and 32 below.

A couple of Ed. PUTNAMS children are sick with diptheria, but the premises are quarantined and the authorities are watching it closely so there may be no fear of its spread. No other cases are in town.

We are sorry to learn that Hugh SHEPHERD is about to remove to Nebraska.

The TURNER's masquerade ball was not as largely attended as usual this year.

Rudolph A.T. MEYER makes another change of advertisement this week.

Mrs. E.D. STILES is prepared to do cutting and fitting.

H.B. TAYLOR has "built" a bored well on his lots and has a long rick of wood--two indispensables of housekeeping.

There will be a donation for the benefit of Rev. W.H. SLINGERLAND, in the M.E. church on Feb. 22.

S.S. COURSON has bargained with the agent for the residence property of Mrs. L. PARKS, on the west side of town.

For sale. Cheap on favorable terms. Farm of 320 acres, 8 miles from Postville, with good buildings, fences, and plenty of water. Also 40 acres of timber. D.W. BALDWIN, Postville.

Hon. John McHUGH, of Cresco, has sold his banking business there and will hereafter give his entire attention to fine stock breeding and farming. It is not improbable that he will be a formidable candidate for congress from this district next fall.

Feb. 15, 1888. Please allow me through your columns to inform the readers of your paper my opinion of corn-fodder as feed for stock. I have been feeding it all winter with good results. My stock never looked better when I fed hay. I feed about one-fourth with the corn on the stalk; it is easy to handle when bound with cord. One acre of corn-fodder will make as much feed as an acre of good hay and we have the corn left. I think it will be to the farmers' interest to cut a part of their corn for fodder, hay or no hay. G.W. HARRIS.
