Qua VILLAGE. Within our knowledge
Prairie du Chen has not presented SO bus
inesslike an appearance as it does at the
present time. OF the houses that have
been untenanted for the last three or four
years nearly all are now occupied. the
season has been healthy, crops ofall kinds
good, plenty Of employment for mechan-
les, and arush Of business for merchants.
On every side we see the effects of the
immigration this session, and good por-
ton of their business and trade for some
time to come will be centred at this place.
This country is now rapidly increasing in
population and trade, and Prairie duo Chen, so
qaaintly likened by correspondent Of the
Wisconsin Herald, 'to mourning widow,
the sad relic Of happier days. is fast re-
covering from the shock Of widowhood,
and has donned new cap for matrimony.

Pork Packing.

We shall also in connection with the above
continue the packing business. as heretofore, and
cut all lots offered OF 100 hogs and upwards, and
make cash advances, if desired. This, with the
facilities we have for slaugttering. will enable
persons TO drive here with safety, as they can
either sell or pack.
Orr prices will be as low as at any similar
establishment on the Mississippi river and the
same as last season, and no extra charge will be
made al any time for advance in salt or barrels
but our list ofprices viii be rigidly adhered to-
Our stock of Barrels and Salt is large. and
amply sufficient TO meet the demand. We have
also added 10 the house Steam Boiler and Tubs
for steaming out the Lard from the offal, which
is usually thrown away and is an entire loss to
the owner, but which we shall render for his ben
eft.
Having experienced help and good house, we
have no hesitation in saying we are prepared tc
do justice to any lots entrusted to us, and that
persons who have hogs will find Bloomington
good point to drive to for packing or selling
We will nav premium of ten dollars Tor The

GEN. GEORGE WAsHISGTos,w when quite
young was about to go to sea as midship-
MN; every thing was arranged, the ves-
sci lay opposite his fathers house, the lit
lie boat had come on shore to take hvn off
and his whole heart was bent on going.
After his trunk had been carried down 10
the boat, he went to bid his mother fare
well, and saw the tears bursting from her
eyes. However, he said nothing to her /;
but he saw that his mother would be dis
tressed if he went, and perhaps never be
happy again. He just turned round to the
servant and said, $50 and tell them to
fetch my trunk back, will not go away
to break mothers heart" His mother
was strucd with his decision, and she said
to him, George, God has promised to
bless the children that honor their parents,
and | believe He will bless YOU"

which they were intended. success has followed tn,

We see 1T stated in the Germantown Telegraph. thai

demand for 1919 is so great that two power presses
driven by steam, are running day and night, with
double set Of hands, and unable to meet the dc

they can be furnished at so low price-of fifth

the whole tu millions and half of Almanacs are

SOMETHING NEW ON Foor.-We'll tell
the ladies pretty secret, if they will pro-
mise faithfully to say nothing about it
except to their particular friends. A new
style of dress and evening slipper is COM
ing in vogue this winter, which will de-
crease the apparent dimensions while it
will greatly add TO the invisible fascination
Of the pretty feet i'll the metropolis. The
new slipper is made Of black or broonze
satin, with three or outright bands OF In
dia Rubber running round the top, and the
instep ornamentei with good sized rosette
Of the same color as the slipper. Isn't i,
charming and quite refreshing, after the
dull monotony Of square toes and plain
quarters? The new style is of course
from Paris, that love OF city, where they
get up ribbons and revolutions, slipper,
