The Chariton Patriot
Chariton, Iowa
March 10, 1875

The attention of dealers in spirituous and malt liquors and tobacco, is
called to the notice of L.P. SHERMAN, collector of Internal Revenue for this
district, in this paper.

The chief object with editors, authors, ministers and other public teachers,
should be to so educate men that they will be moved to action by knowledge
and reason instead of prejudice and passion.

It is rumored that our jenial (sic) friend, TOM EWING, one of the west side
clothiers, is away selecting an unusually fine suit of clothes for his own
use, and the question is, what's up?

Look out for the soft and juicy days of March, they are not to be trusted
any more than the mellow tones of the patent right peddler. Each promises
more than is realized.

CHARLES WALBRIDGE, a young man in the west part of town, died on last
Saturday morning, of hemorrhage of the lungs. He was a brother of the
painter, WALBRIDGE, and about 24 years old.

The prospect for plenty of Easter eggs was very flattering a few days ago,
but this cold weather has so discouraged the hens that they have about quit
business; and hen fruit is becoming scarce again.

MARRIED: -- At the Sherman House, the residence of the bride's father, on
the evening of the 10th inst., by Rev. H.H. O'Neal, MR. F.T.C. BUSHNELL of
Ashland, Ohio, and MISS OLLIE CORBUS, of Chariton.

Prof. SIMSON has just closed the winter term of his academy, and announces
the beginning of the 18th session on the 12th of April. The Prof. is one of
those men who never tires in well doing, and proposes to run his school as
long as his health will permit.
