Rensselaer Republican, Volume 16, Number 32, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 17 April 1884 — Mount Airy vs. Mt. Ayr. [ARTICLE]

Mount Airy vs. Mt. Ayr.

The Goodland Her aid persists in spelling the name of the new town, just west of Rensselaer, in Newton county, Mt. Ayr. A practice, which, as it strikes us, the people of that place ought to set down upon, as Mount Airy is a much more euphonious name.—[Ki NSHELAER REPUBLICAN. Well, Bro. Marshall, we admit the solidity of the euphonious part of the argument, but we- would mildly suggest that there are many things iik this life that fail to come up to the dreamy, icsthetic taste, and yet are facts, just the same. Towns propose and railroads dispose. The C. <fc G. S. officials have dubbed it Mt. Ayr, and as Mt. Ayr it will be known until Gabriel blows his Horn and the cob-webs are wiped from the eyes of all cloubters. The inhabitants of the enterprising little burg have accepted the inevitable, and the majority write it Mt. Ayr.--[Good-land Herald. Oh; behold it! the king of all plows: The Flying Dutchman, at L. C. Grant’s blacksmith shop. To THE GeNTLEMHN OF JASPER county: —Everything in the line of Gents’ furnishing goods, can be bought very cheap of Hemphill & Honan.
