Our POOR.-s"The poor We have al
ways with you As long as there is sin
in the world SO long will misfortune and
poverty abound. By this it should not
be inferred that only the sinful are power
ty-stricken; this is unfortunately not al
ways the case for in our every Gay expe-
rience we see that the sins of the parents
are curse even to the third and fourth
generations following. We occasionally
see persons who are utterly destitute of
the most ordinary essentials to their com
fort ano well-being whom we know to be
rich in those graces which adorn all that
Is good in mankind. For this reason he
who hs plenty of this worlds wealth
should share with his neighbor who has
less, for who knows how soon he, or his
children, may come to want. Life has
many changes, and the wheel of fortune
as it turns makes and breaks indiscrimin-
ately. Reason should teach us therefore
to use others as we would like to be used
were they in our places and we in theirs.
In this town, it has been discovered by
the Ladies' Charitable Society that there
are a number of families who want food
and clothing. just think Of it you well
fed, warmly clothed people, there is your
neighbor suffering the miseries of cold
and hunger and you are throwing away
more than enough to satisfy his wants
Think of the poor widow with her infant
children, one, two, three, four; see her
as she tolls hopelessly on to keep the
gaunt wolf from the hearth-stone how
her mothers heart bleeds as her darlings
cry for bread and she can give them none,
as they SILVER with cold and she has no
wood to replenish the expiring flames
Do you say it is all fancy? We say it is
stubborn fact There are just such cases
in Mantowec. The society before allud-
ed to has done aud are doing what they
can to relieve this distress, and though
there are some applying for help who ought
to earn their own support there are 9TH
ers who are not to blame for their misfor-
tunes and should be cared for tenderly.
You may say as often as you like, you
business man, Il can't afford it, look at
your own little child, think of your little
daughter wanting bread and clothed in
rags; such a circumstance may occur
within one years time! Then open your
hearts and your pockets and relieve those
whose misery during this cold weather is
beyond all description. Give to the La
dies Society if you do not know of des-
titute person whose wants you can per-
sonally provide for. Said society we
know, for we have seen their records are
doing good work. They do not give
money, but they buy -four, make clothing
and bestow it on those whose misfortunes
are SO great as to cause them absolute
suffering, and in this work they should
have the active cooperation of every bus
mess man in the place. Those having
old clothes can send them to the Court
House and they will be taken care Of

OBrTUARY.-The Chicago papers re-
cord the death of VIM. Jones of that city
at the age of seventy-eight years. He
was the father of X x. Jones and as \
nonresident real estate owner of this
place will be generally remembered. He
died worth nearly million of dollars
In 1886 he bought the plot thereon now
stands the village of Manitowoc, which
he sold to his brother, Benz. Jones of
this place in 1888. The papers speak
very highly Of him as man of strict In
tegrity, one who took great interest in
school matters, and rs citizen well
worthy of respect and esteem. His
wealth was mostly made in real estate.

THE TROT ON TUESDAY.
A Colt Trots, to Cutter, Over = Common
Country Road Thirteen Miles In
One Hour, and Wins $1Oo.

Our town was considerably excited on
Tuesday last over the announcement that
there was to be race against time from
Eighth street bridge, Manitowoc, to the
Mishicott House, in Mishicott, for 800.
This town lies exactly north of here about
ten miles and half by section lines, but
by the best travelled route it is said TO be,
and we think it is, fully thirteen miles.
The race was brought about in this way.
Henry Sibree, Esq. being at Mishicott
one cold day drove down from there in
less than one hour, and was speaking of
it to some of our citizens who know the
route very well, when they doubted his
having done it, and offered to wager mo-
ney that he could not do it. This he
fatty refused at first, but 80 much was
said, and feeling that his veracity was at
stake, he finally said if they would make
their bet 500 he would take it. This
was done, the race to come off the first
of the week if no snow fell. AS the hour
of O'Clock on Tuesday approached a
crowd assembled on Eighth street to see
the start. Mr.. Sibree appeared a few
minutes before the time and drove around
the block His horse is about the aver
age size, dark bay, about five years old,
rather light in weight, but with nothing
to distinguish it from any other roadster
except the eye, which is decidedly sharp
Forty-fve seconds after one Mr.. s. drove
slowly along through the crowds of peo-
pie and only let his horse go when nearly
out of town.
THE PART WE TOOK.
About the time of starting, lady
friend. who drives a 2:4O horse of her
own, was sitting in her cutter in front of
our Office. This lady knows how to drive
AN accomplishment, by the way, which
few of her sex have in any degree of per-
lection when she offered to take the
editor to see the race we accepted gladly,
for since the sleighing came we had had
no opportunity to fly over the sparkling
snow. Westarted some little time after the
contesting horse, and our first sight of him
was three miles from town. On we flew,
now up, now down, there he goes we
gain on him. Five miles from town and
he is in plain sight, going like the mis-
chief. Another mile still we gain but
here we find OK teams in the road; we
must turn out into the deep snow to run
around them, several teams are thus
passed, this delays us, and eight miles
from town, after thirty minutes of very
exciting ride, we see the racer disappear
mile or more in advance Our speed
was then slackened, we had see,, the race,
all we went for, and we knew it vas a
good, fair, square trot. We went thro'
however, in an hour ard seven minutes,
and returned in an hour and a half. For
this pleasant ride we return our most sin
cere thanks.
But to return to the race. Mr.. s. ar
rived in Mishicott in two and one half
minutes before two O'Clock, making the
whole distance in fifty-six minutes and
forty-6ve seconds, exact time, which,
taking into consideration the bad state of
the roads, the snow being mealy in the
extreme, we consider frst-rate time for a
colt that has never been trained, nor ever
seen track.

is too valuable to throw away in reply to
slang and lying abuse. We have never
