Waukon will hold an election on April 2nd to decide whether or not that city will be incorporated. We should say that a county seat town of the size and enterprise of that place should be incorporated.

Election passed off very quietly on Monday. The following officers were elected: Mayor, N.J. BEEDY; Councilmen, Jas. McEWEN & W.N. BURDICK; Recorder, B.F. TAYLOR.

Attention Co. D!!
There will be a special meeting of Co. D at the armory on Saturday, March 10. The military boys are especially requested to be present as there will be important busines. Darius ORR, Captain; A.F. MARSTON, Orderly Serg't.

Waukon is still agitated over the incorporation problem. How in the world any man in that town can oppose it we can't see. Saloon and show licenses will pay all the expense, and the advantages are past computation.

Monday next, Waukon votes on incorporation. We don't expect it will carry, but if it don't the county seat ought to be voted to Lansing or some other town with a spark of enterprise.

We are under obligations to Hon. T. UPDEGRAFF for the compendium of the 10th census. It is a valuable document for reference, if it is three years behind time.

Herb. ANGELL has moved into the house he purchased last fall, on Military street. Pete STULL occupies the house out of which ANGELL moved.

The material is on the ground for the new German parsonage, at the foot of Lawler street. The sturcture will be of white brick.

We received a postal card from Rev. R. LAUGHLIN of Toledo, stating that his daughter, Ada, is very sick and the day before the postal card was written it was thought that she would not live very long.

I.A. HARMAN is among the first to lead off with a large addition to his farm residence.

In writing up the notice of Mrs. MINNICK and BEEDY's forth-coming milliery establishment last week, by some means we stated that they had secured the services of Miss Carrie Van HOOSER, when we should have said Jennie Van HOOSER, who for years has been the fashionable milliner of McGregor.

We are under obligations to our little friend Gussie HERRINGTON for two dozen Easter eggs, of the light Brahma variety, which were about as large as goose eggs.

The following friends have made us glad by paying subscriptions:
A. SPOO; J. POESCH, L. MINNICK; T.B. COWLES; J.M. HARRIS; Geo REDHEAD; J.P. GILLEN; Paul BRORBY, all of Postville. Dickson Bros., Luana & W.B. KNODT, Sioux Falls.

As we announced some time ago would be the case, H.A. STOWE left us last Monday for his new home at Clarion, Wright county and his partner, Prof. B.W. BRINTNALL, will follow immediately as his school has now closed.
