Died of blood poison, Saturday, September fifth, in the sixtyninth year of his age, J. C. Kinsell, Mayor of Cambridge. Mr. Kinsell was one of the old residents of Cambridge. He was known as a man of radical opinions on nearly all subjects. He was buried Sunday in the Cambridge cemetery.—(Sept. 9, 1885.)
The wells at the depot are being repaired or rather enlarged, and when the work is completed, Cambridge will have an inexhaustible supply of water.—(Sept. 9, 1885.)
J. B. Green is our new postmaster. While Mr. Green is a firstclass man he will do well if he gives as good satisfaction as did A. W. Southwick. There was not a single complaint against Mr. S. from any citizen in town or vicinity.—(Nov. 11, 1885.)
The Sunday-school concert at the M. E. church Sunday evening was a very interesting affair, and well patronized.—(Nov. 11, 1885.)
Last Sunday was A. P. King's forty-ninth birth-day. His children to fitly celebrate the event presented him with a fine gold watch chain, and the members of the Masonic fraternity with a fine Masonic pin and charm.-(Nov. 11, 1885.)
There is a good deal of "tangle-foot" being drank in town nowadays, and the drug store and billiard saloons are blamed for selling it; but the truth of the matter is that it is brought here from Des Moines and other places by men who peddle it out.—(November 11, 1885.)
Hogs are still dying with cholera in town and vicinity. Uncle Jerry Malloy's fine Chester Whites are dying; and the loss falls heavily on him as he can ill afford to lose them.—(Nov. 11, 1885.)
A Sabbath school convention will be held at Cambridge, December 20, 1885. A cordial invitation is extended to all who wish to attend. Exercises to commence at 10 n. m., and continue all day.
W. H. GRAFTON, Township President.
