Observation-Disclosures gen
orally seem to think that the more mat
ter they can crowd into their advertise
ments the better. But in this they err 4,
as well displayed advertisements attract
much more attention than closely print
ed, crowded ones. In one Of our ex-
changes there is an advertisement of a
column in length containing just the
mau's name, and we are confident that
his way of calling attention to his goods
pays double what others do. We would
impress upon our patrons the fact that
nothing pays better than aoetl-displayed
advertisement.

Green Bay and Manitowoc Plank


Road.
During the present of the Legislature ect
passed Incorporating thu Green Bay and Manito-
woo Plank Road Co. The corporators Immediately
perfected an organization, took the preliminary steps
and already very fair start has been made toward
the prosecution OF the work.
The plank road will start at the eastern end of
Mason street bridge East River in the south ward
and run directly east about mile until it strikes th
Manitowoc road the pankirg will be continued OIL
this road to the distance of about sixteen miles which
will carry it to the eastern limit of Brown County.
This enterprise is an important and calculated
to Materially benefit the trade of this city At present
that end of the Manowoc road nearest the city is in
an extremely bad condition, and during the Spring
and Fall months almost impossible. The panking
will cover all this poor portion of the road and rem
der it easy and desirable thoroughfare Formerly
towoc and elsewhere simply owing to the poor con-
dtion of the route to this city Beside the passabe
connection being made between the Manitowoc road
and the southern end of the city, the distance to be
travelled Is lessened fully mile and half, thus
presenting the advantage of expedition. The new
read will furnish cheap and easy transportation for
the products of the various mills in that section of
the county. There ten twelve mills which viii
obtain direct benefit from this The owners of sone
of these establishments have contributed literally to-
ward the stock, and others should follow suit Al
ready stock has been subscribed tc amount exceed
ing S5000 and the prospect is that the company will
within short time raise stock enough to complete
from six to eight miles of the d this They
will commence operations next week.

PAINTING nice job in painting

of the IruesdelI, which presents fine
appearance. The woodwork was grained,
which had to be removed before a coat
of white could be put upon it; but
Messrs. johnson and McGavin '.went for
it and with porcelain finish to it have
made the cabin of this boat really beau
tiful. For nice job nicely done, give
them a call.

Every merchant, every saloon keeper,
everybody that ever bought piece Of
sheetlng, or chest of tea, or keg of
nails, or barrel of whiskey from Mil
waukee, has been the recipient of
printed circular, asking for aid to obtain
the removal of the Capitol from Madison
to Milwaukee.
If that city, still grasping for stronger
power over the destines of our State, re-
ally should obtain this latest of its desires,
all we have to say is: May the Lord
have mercy on poor Wisconsin. All that
is moao necessary for the nabobs of that
city to defeat any proposed Improvement
in our State which may appear in the
least injurious to them, is to telegraph
to the Legislature kill the Bill" and
''the Bill is killed."

CALUMET. The last number of the
Reflector says that on Saturday last John
Short, of that town, vas at work with a
yoke Of oxen loading logs on a sleigh,
when the oxen made sudden start caus-
ing one of the skids upon which the log
was lying to fly around sideways, striking
him on one of his legs and breaking it
below the knee. His cries soon brought
aid, he was carried to the house, DR.. La
Count was sent for and set the broken
limb, and the injured man seemed to be
doing as well as could be expected. On
Sunday, however, he suddenly became
insensible, in which condition he remain
ed until Monday noon, and died. Vari-
GUS reports are in circulation as to what
was the actual cause of his sudden death,
but the general belief, corroberated by
the DIR. in attendance, is that he was
injured internally, which caused conges-
ton of the lungs. Mr.. Short was steady,
industrious young man.
