Citizen, and Portage City!
Myers & Bonum's Stage

M ILL take you to the Depot in doubfe-ouick
W time! The undersigned are running a
daily line of Stages from the following named
points, TO connect with the Lacrosse cars, to
wit: From Stevens Point to Portage CITY, bv
way OF Plover, Buena Vista, Plainfeld, Han
cock, Caloma, Adams, Packwaukee, Oxford and
Briggsville. Also from Stevens Point, BY wav
Of Flower, Grand Rapids, Saratoga, Preston.
Grand Marsh, Dell Prairie, to kilbourn Civ
Also, from Neceedah to kilbourn City, bv the
way OF Germantown, Quincy, Cascade, or White
Creek and Dell Prairie
These lines of Stages, furnish to the inhabi-
tants OF the Pine Region, the Means of getting
from Stevens Point or Grand Rapids to Milwau-
Zee IN fttle less than one and half DAYS. and
besides the fare is lower than anv other route,
and any one who wishes to go to Milwaukee can
on one OF these lines be taken to Kilbourn CITY
or Portage City, in one day, and the next morn
ing at half past five the ears will leave for Mil
Waukee, and arrive there at half past eleven :
ana any one wishing to come into the Pine Re-
glon can rely upon always being able to Get a
Stage at Portage City or Kilbourn, in the morn
ing, going North and North West, to any of the
points above mentioned. We have good Coach
es on all OF these routes, an abundant supply of
good horses, and drivers that are sober and t,gs-
IT, and who obey orders, and have their instruc.
tons to drive through
General Stage Offices are kept at the follow
ing named places: Portage CITY, at the Lee
House; kilbourn, at the kilbourn CITY House
Grand Rapids at Bangs Hotel; Plover, at the

For the information of the travelling public
we Will say, that at Stevens Point, an opportu
nifty is afforded, either by Stage or Steamboat
to go north to Trading Post Knowlton, Little
Bull Falls, Wausau, Eau Claire, Jenny Bull and
Marathon City. And from all by the same
means they come to Stevens Point and take this
stage line to any place they choose, north OF
Portage City; so it will seen that there is nc
necessity for patroaizing Foot & Walkers line
unless the traveller prefers that mode of loco
motion. MYERS Il BONUM.

THE above Machine is now being introduced
J. in the Lumber region and as it is by far
the most important improvement that has been
presented for saving Shingles, the attention of
all persons interested in that branch of business
is particularly called to its advantages The
inventor feels justified in saying, that

1t has been tested, and found to require far less

One of these machines is in operation at Rab-
Inns Mill, in Grand Rapids. An inspection of
it and its work, by good judges, will at once sat
isfy them that the inventor is justified in claim

that make any pretensions to public favor.

PROSPECTUS
OF THE
L LREE DEMOCRAT
FOR 1873


i,HE W. ekly Free Democrat, now entering
i upon its fourteenth volume, is the largest
journal III Wisconsin. 1t contains one-fourth
more reading matter than any other paper IN
the State. The publisher refers to his past
course, as pledge of his aims and purposes
for the future. He stands now, when the Re-
publican party of this State is in the zenith of
its power, precisely where he stood sixteen
years ago, when the Anti-Slavery voters num-
bered but NouSa1M in the United States,
maintaining the position that Slavery must be
abolished wherever it can be reached by the
Federal Government and that all parties and
creeds must either all o1 give way to the cause
of Human Freedom.
He intends to make the Free Democrat not
only the largest, but the best newspaper in the
State, and asks every friend of Reform and of
Human Progress to aid in extending its circu-
lation.
The Free Democrat is political, literary and
news journal, and will give a synopsis of cur
rent events, chronicle all useful discoveries in
the arts and sciences, in agriculture and mech
anism, give weekly review of the markets,
and pay particular attention to the various local
enterprises Of the State.
The daily and tri-weekly Free Democrat have
also been enlarged and improved, and are wor-
thy the patronage of the commercial public as
the latest telegraph and commercial news will
always be found in their columns.
