The Oskaloosa Independent,Jefferson County, Saturday July 11, 1874 July 11, 1874
Two belligerant individuals got into a row on the Fourth and were arrested and
fined. One of them, being unable to appease the justice with the cash, now
spends his time in our tasteful little calaboose. "The longer a man lives the
more he finds out."

Some of the merchants here are selling cheese made near this place for 15 and
20cts per pound, and it is good cheese, too. This is quite a reductions and we
hope our market will soon be supplied with it.

A lady in the country, in this vicinity, came very near choking to death on a
cherrystone one day last week, but the doctor relieved her. Be careful of
cherrystones and chicken bones.

Many of our farmers are busy slaughtering chinch-bugs and some of them say they
have saved fields of corn by scalding and otherwide killing off the swarming
multitudes.

We learn that a cow, some miles below town, on Mud creek, we believe, went mad
the other day and killed her calf, when she was shot and killed herself.

When parties go in for cutting throats on bids for printing they will have to
use a long knife if they cut deeper than the Independent blade.
