I have also on hand an assortment of Books and Stationery, Jewelry and Notions, such as are generally kept by Druggists. My stock of Tobacco and Cigars needs no recommendation--all purchasers have to do is to call and examine
for themselves--they will find an extra article.

Thankful for past favors, he hopes his old customers will continue their patronage.

GLORIOUS NEWS! PACIFIC CITY WILL BE THE FIRST POINT ON THE MISSOURI REACHED BY RAILROADS.
The following item we clip from last weeks "Crescent," published in Iowa City"
B & M. Freight trains on the Burlington and Missouri River Railroad, are now running to Rome on the other side of Skunk River.
We learn that passenger trains will be run as far as Rome in a few days.
The Burlington and Missouri Railroad is being "put through" with amazing rapidity, and will be finished to the Missouri River long before any other road now in progress.
As Pacific City is to be its western terminus, we are sure to be the most benefited by its completion. Hurrah for the B. & M. Railroad and its early advancement to our city.

CONVENTION AT GLENWOOD
Most important business detained us from the Convention at Glenwood, to select a candidate for delegate from our District. This was our misfortune, and not our party's for we could have added nothing to what has been done.
From every information we can get, we learn that Mr. Dews, the nominee, is an honest, capable man and sound Democrat. This is just what we wanted, and all we wanted, except to elect him. Let every Democrat put his shoulder
to the wheel. The Democrats of our precinct are doing their duty nobly--whether many or few, they are at work.
POLITICAL DISCUSSION AT GLENWOOD
We Learn that on Thursday last, at Glenwood, Judge Lowe, the Republican candidate for Governor, and Mr. Gillaspy, the Democratic candidate for Lt. Governor, met in a public discussion. We understand that in the language
of the great Protector, Cromwell, in his report of the battle of Dunbar, the Lord gave our candidate "execution of the enemy for nearly two hours," during which time he gave the Judge a decided defeat.
