• LATE. The printing of the TELEGRAPH was post-poned one day in order to give the President's Message. For the better information of the public we will again state that our regular time for printing the paper is Wednesday afternoon, the same as it always has been the only difference being that the paper is now dated Wednesday instead of Thursday.
  
  
• Elegant Lace Setts, for holiday presents, just received at Hedrick & Gillespie's.
  
  
• Park is buying dressed hogs and fat beef cattle. He can be found at Bruington & Northup's grocery store. Farmers take due notice. 43-3t
  
  
• 1877 Anita Times, established by Charles F. Chase
  
  
• 1879 The Atlantic Daily Telegraph was established.
  
  
• Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is lecturing in this State on "The Coming Girl." She would be terribly disappointed if it should prove to be a boy. This thing of naming the child before hand won't always do.
  
  
• Beautiful shades of Merinos, Chashmeres, Empress Cloths; also silk finish trimming, velvets in handsome colors, just in by express, at Hedrick & Gillespie's.
  
  
• FOR THE HOLIDAYS.--J. B. Allman & Co., have received a splendid lot of China sets suitable for Christmas presents for children or grown-up people. One china chamber set is fine enough for the bed room of a princess..
  
  
• CHRISTMAS PRESENTS. iN GREAT VARIETY AT hILL'S jEWELRY sTORE. gIVE YOUR GIRL SOMETHING THIS YEAR AND QUIT YOUR FOOLIN'.
  
  
• Mr. Frank Proctor, A. D. Boyd's brother-in-law, who has been here visiting for several days, has our thanks for a copy of the Ravenna, Ohio, Democratic Press, containing a humorous Democratic speech, which we would publish were we not afraid that our readers are weary of politics.
  
  
• A SPECIAL OFFER.--To any person who will bet a club of six subscribers at $1.50 each (our club rate) for the Telegraph we will give a copy of the book advertised elsewhere in this paper entitled "Great Industries." Read the advertisement and see what the book is. 14
  
  
• NOW IS THE TIME TO SUBSCRIBE FOR YOUR NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES AND SAVE YOUR POSTAGE AT GEO. RICHARDSON'S NEWS DEPOT.
  
  
• WITH the kindest and best intentions in the world we would suggest that the Local of the Des Moines Republican be presented with a map of the Milky Way and a gilt edged copy of Jayne's Almanac. He seems to dream of ??? astronomy. In Saturday's paper ?? ?ive or six items are about the sun, ?? and stars and It wasn't hardly an average day with him either. Let up on astronomy and give us a little geography.
  
  
• APPROPRIATE.--There is something appropriate in the way the Monroe Transcript publishes and illustrates the time table of the Des Moines Valley Railroad. The paper inserts the usual cut of a train of cars and after it puts in a life-like picture of a Jasper county dog, representing the animal as running at full speed. If the dog is ordinarily lively on foot he will certainly overtake the train before the next paper is printed. Those Valley Road cars never get warm in the boxing.
  
  
• AGRICULTURAL SOCIETY MEETING.--The agricultural society for this county will meet to transact business on the first Saturday in January. We beg leave to suggest to the society that they make out a good premium list, put actual practical farmers on the committees and then have the list printed and circulated before the first day of April.
  
  
• DES MOINES UNIVERSITY.--The next term of the University commences December 12th. Several new teachers have been engaged since the circulars were printed. A very fine class of students are in attendance ad the success already achieved by this young Institution is most decidedly encouraging. Located at the capital, and great business and political center of the state, a stay of a few months there will amply repay all the expenses, even aside from the advantages derived from the school. But school advantages are of inestimable value, and since people are young but once it becomes the youth of the land to improve it while they may.
  
  
• NEWS FROM CASS CENTER.--That wideawake Henry Sanders has organized a Lyceum at Toad Cap school house in Franklin township. I think they could find a better name for their place of meeting.
  
  
• On the morning of Thanksgiving Day, Frank M. Branen met with quite a serious accident. He was riding to his school on Hiram Bishop's horse, when near the house the horse threw him upon the frozen ground. He was found in the school house by the school children in an insensible condition, lying on the floor bleeding at the nose, ears and mouth. Dr. Barnwell thinks his skull is not fractured, but that he may not be sensible for several days, so severe was the concussion.
  
  
• Mr. Bell, P. M., is happy. Its a girl.
  
  
• Frank Stone has moved from his residence in Union township to his father's (Alfred Phelps, deceased) residence in Bear Grove township. Mrs. Phelps will probably remove to Atlantic.
  
  
• Dec. 2, 1872.       X. X.
  
  
• A GOOD BATCH OF ITEMS FROM CASS TOWNSHIP.--Editor telegraph: Being a constant reader of your valuable paper, and seeing letters from other parts of the county, I have concluded to drop you a few lines from this corner--although there is but little going on at present but corn gathering which is not more than half done. The recent bad weather having caused considerable delay. Quite an amount of the corn has been blown off of the stalks by the recent high winds. Corn is turning out very well in this vicinity. But it is not so heavy here as it seems to be with Dr. Priggleston of Cass Center, who can not find room on the ground for it. That's rather a tough story, Joe.
  
  
• The hog crop is being harvested here with astonishing rapidity. Some fifty or sixty head of porkers left this neighborhood on Thursday past for Atlantic. Price $2.25 per ewt.
  
  
• Mr. Wm. Haworth and Mr. Hudson Headley started for Texas a short time since. I do not know what particular object they have in view but suppose they desire to amass wealth. I hope they may.
  
  
• The weathe rhas been somewhat blustery for the past few days, but the prospect now is for the better. More anon. HUNK.
  
  
• LEWIS, Iowa, Dec. 24, 1873.

• PERSONAL. -- John W. Scott, mayor of the city of Hamlin, Audubon county, was in town Tuesday and failed to come and see us.
  A. L. Campbell, Recorder of Audubon; Mr. Royal Leaphusse, of the Exira Sentinel; and Mr. Houston, of the same place, were in town on the evening of Thanksgiving Day.
  
  
• MARRIED. -- At the residence of the bride's father in Atlantic, November 26th, 1872, Mr. Henry F. Seaman and Miss E. L. Patten, daughter of W. R. Patten, Rev. E. S. Hill officiating. We wish that the worthy young couple may live all their lives together and every day be a happy one.

COLUMN 3

• MOVED.--Royal Hudspeth, has removed from Victoria to Edna township, and now lives neighbor to N. C. Burdick.
  
  
• The weather is cold and wintry, but if you buy your boots and shoes at Kirby's you can be comfortable.
  
  
• DURING the late high winds the county treasurer, clerk, and sheriff were a little afraid the court house would be lifted from over their heads. The court house is the upper story above the offices named.
  
  
• Hedrick & Gillespie are rapidly setting things to rights in their new store room in Huse's block. Their customers need not delay on account of the moving. Trade goes on as usual.
  
  
• MUSICAL.--A class is being organized in the city to be taught music by Prof. V. C. Taylor, of Des Moines, who is one of the best teachers in the west, and who is also a musical composer and author of good reputation. A concert will be given at the close of the term.
  
  
• The epizootic made its appearance in Council Bluffs on Saturday. The merchants and transfer companies are making arrangements to secure oxen to deliver their goods. It skipped Atlantic entirely.
  
  
• FINE HOGS.--Mr. Helmer to-day bought 37 head of hogs, of Wm. Hopley, which all in a bunch weighed 14, 280 pounds. One of them weighed 530 po9unds. No finer lot will likely be brought to this market this season. Price paid $3.25.
  
  
• A Connecticut man the other day thought to put his philosophy to the practical test by slightly burning the fingers of his two young children, in order that he might leave them alone in a room with a hot stove. His wife, who doesn't go much on science caught him at it, and went for the philosopher, sitting him down on the stove and holding him there until he roared for mercy.
  
  
• Letters remaining in the P. O. at Atlantic, Dec. 4th, 1872:

• We have a new landlord. He has learned how to collect rent from a printing office. Monday at eight o'clock he came in with three days' rations in his overcoat pockets and a vial of something "strengthening!" concealed about his person. He quietly took his seat and begun to read exchanges. He has varied his occupation but little since then, and is with us yet. Amount obtained, so far, forty-five cents.
  
  
• THE Teachers of Cass county will hold their annual meeting in Lewis, during the week between Christmas and New Years. Esquire Hawes says he is not yet prepared to say what fine-haired chap from abroad will be in attendance, but requests us to assure the public that if no such person is present, home talent will be freely used, which we think will be better.
