In an Iowa paper we notice an excellent article upon the subject of churches and-lodre societies fiv- ing a cheap dinner from the dona tions of liberal citizens upon days when anything unusual in the way of an assemblage was going on in the town, to the detriment of the hotel keepers and restauranters.
