MAIDEN RocK.-A few days ago we
made our first visit to the enterprising
village of Maiden Rock, near the south
ern line of this county. Heretofore we
had no definite idea of its fine location
or its importance as business point
/ Situate on the eastern shore of that most
beautiful Of western lakes-L Lake Pepin
with high bluffs rising grandly in the
back ground,it possesses those natural at
fractions that give reputation to popular
summer resorts 1t is the natural outlet
for the produce of rich country that is
fast developing, aud which will soon be
unsurpassed in the quantity and quality
of its productions. Growing excellent
grass and being well watered, there is no
region better adapted to stock raising -
With a country like this tributary TO it,
Maiden Rock cannot fail to gradually
grow to a large and thriving place.
The principal dealers, Trumbull d.
HUM, Van Wrinkle & Sundell, Merrill d.
Clifford, are all doing good business
and report fair trade even in this dull
season. The last named firm are build
ING n fine store, which will be completed
and filed with new goods in a few weeks.
C. r.. Ia, lor's stave mill has slashed
out 100000 slaves. and huge piles of
heading. The energetic proprietor in
tends to count them by the million next
year.
We hereby acknowledge our indebt-
edness to Hon. J. d. Trumbull, Mr..
john Doughty, Geo. r. Barton, G. R.
Taylor, Alex. Van Wrinkle and others for
the kind attention they bestowed upon us,
which contributed much to make our
brief call a very pleasant one.
BRING OUR SADDLE HoME.-If this
should fall under the observation of the
Prescott Journal editors they will con-
sileI il an invitation to bring home our
saddle cut-an article that we are entire
~ out of, ard one which it appears they
have succeeded in acquiring without pat
ronizing type foundry. The missing
=" soap they will be welcome to keep
State Register PORTAGE.
We take great pleasure in assuring the
editors of the Portage Pictorial that we
cannot accept their modest inyit ation.-
This attempt to saddle upon US the pur-
loinment of that cut we consider tl.a
"most unkindest cut" they ever inserted
in their valuable paper-not excepting
the . fearfully and wonderfully made"
cut of great Price which lately adorned
their columns.
1t just now occurs to US why we re
ceive such marked attention whenever
we call at the Register office. The au
gust senior watches us with tender solici
tude while we are in the sanctum, and
the modest, unassuming, obligiug Junior
is ever ready to accompany US in our
tour through the job and composing
room. Bring home our saddle cut p
Why, if we were the most adroit sleight
o handisl in America we could Mt /" Iift"
nonpareil hair space when SAM. BRAN
NAN is around, though he may he in the
midst of the tri weekIv recital of his most
thrilling California yarn.
By the way. we have " cut" in our
possession, which was saddled upon us
long years ago, and which we will be
happy to return for small considera-
ton. 1t is fashioned something in this
wise:
Portage, Wis, Aug /, 1902.
To SATANIC DR..
To Sack of Flour, won by jefin' $50
Received Payment-not any.
We've carried that good while.-
Shall We bring it home!
