Postville Review.
Postville, Allamakee Co., Iowa
June 25, 1881.

MARRIED.
At the Commercial Hotel, Postville, June 22nd, by Rev. G.W. PRATT, Mr. John B. HART and Miss Ida M. HUMPHREYS, all of Postville. This wedding, eminently fit to be made, has been expected by the knowing ones for some time. Sometimes it is a peculiar pleasure to chronicle such events, because everything seems to auger success and happiness, as in this case. No couple ever started out in life under more favorable circumstances than this one, and a very large circle of friends of both parties wish them joy and happiness. The wedding was a quiet affair, none but the two families being present. The newly married pair started immediately for Chicago on their wedding tour. On their return they will occupy a fine residence in Myron, and Mr. HART will have charge of the mill there.

The following are the delegates chosen to represent Post township in the county convention today:
H.A. STOWE, R.A.T. MEYER, W.N. BURDICK, A. HART, Ellison ORR, L.L. PATTERSON, W.H. CARITHERS, T.D. WARE and E.R. KETCHUM.

Lem REEVES, one of the old stand by printers of Northern Iowa, made us a pleasant call on Thursday. Lem used to be considered the 'prettiest' printer in Northern Iowa, and a masher among the fair sex. He is still single and parts his hair as faultlessly as of yore.

When at Decorah the other day we called on our former townsman, J.P. SCHULTZ, who is running the Opera House Clothing Store there. Joe has a fine stock of goods and he says if any of the Postville people will come up and see him he will save them about 25 per cent on clothing.

The following subscribers have places us under obligations for cash on subscription since our last notice:
W.A. HENDERSON and A.P. ABBOTT, Postville; E. JACOBSON and J.G. LAMM, Decorah; and Paul BRORBY (new) West Union.
