ssg~ The Mineral Point Democrat claims
to have made discoveries which if at all re-
liable, are Of infinite Importance to the
people of this county. 1t says:
"The Illinois Central is anxious to run
branch northward. as it all eady has one
westward from Warren, and that, in all
probability is the company that is "back-
ing" George w. Cobbs CONSTRUCTION
Company" We are inclined to think
that Company will ere long run their cars
from Cairo to Tomah, or some point on
the upper Mississippi, whether Iowa
County helps or finders.'
AS we have intimated before, if the bus
mess prospects of road from Mineral
Poin: to Tomah, warrant one being built,
(and it looks to us very much as if they
did, or at least speedily would.) 1t will
not be necessary for the country along tie
route to render as much local aid as if it
was otherwise. Let our people look well
into this matter it is no use throwing
their money away, and if a road must be
built north from Mineral Point, all that
will be necessary for the people to do is to
render sufficient local aid to control the
particular course of the road, and the
erection of depots, and location of depot
grounds.

BSsy~ The Mineral Point Democrat of
last week informs it's readers that the
CHRONICLE has copied its ideas on the
bond matter, but instead of indorsing
them it attempts to pull the arguments to
pieces, and says they are Inconsistent.
1t asks "if tits not right to pay !; why
then talk about compromise ?" For the
very reason that although we know the
debt is unjust-every cent Of it-and that
every cent paid to satisfy it would be just
so much stolen from the people, yet we
also know it is lien on our property, and
an inrumbrance which we are anxious to
get rid of, and so anxious that we would
at any time be willing to pay something
as a compromise to rid the county o: the
burden it now labors under. We see
nothing Inconsistent in this, and if our
aeighbor OF the U'm0crot does, he sees
further than we ever gave him credit for
Our statement that we are with the peo-
pie, ought not to be Objectionable, for we
most certainly are, and intend to remain
so, while they fight the payment of the
bonds; we are with them, if they are off
cred an honorable compromise one which
the majority are in favor of accepting, we
are with them, and as the Democrat says,
we can "wind up" by saying we are with
them any how, and propose to remain
with them, to stand by them, and to de-
fend their cause to the last

eN~ Pursuant to an invitation extended
by DR.. H. G.. Cutler, we took a ride with
him to the Iowa County Poor Farm. The
farm is situated in the town of Linden,
and contains one hundred and twenty

time twenty-one inmates, five of them in

Additional room and accommodation for
the comfort of the poor have been made

of the greatest improvements however, is a

In this piece of ground the inmates have
free access, and have ample room to walk,

our minds, this is one of the greatest im'
provements about the place. We don't
know who suggested it, but whoever 1T was
deserves great credit.

Bag The match game of Base Ball be-
tween the Mound City club, of Platteville,
and the White Stockings, of this place,
came off as advertised, at the Platteville
Fair Grounds on Saturday last. There
was very high wind at the time, which
was a great disadvantage to the White
Stockings, they being out field strikers.
The game resulted in favor of the Mound
City club by score of ID to 40. The re
turn game will be played at Dodgeville, of
which due notice will be given. The
White Stockings return their sincere
thanks to the members Of the Mound City
club for the gentlemanly manner in which
they were treated by them, and hope to be
able to return the compliment when the
second game is played.

tunate inmates, all the more SO, as WIS.,
itors were not at this time expected.
The pleasant looks OF welcome that the
poor people had for US, and especially
their recognition of their medical attend
ant, all 60 to show that the care and
watchfulness of those that have them in
charge, are appreciated, aud that their su-
perintendent faithfully performs all his
duties, as there was not one word of fault
finding with any one while We were there,
all seemed satisfied with their treatment
and Accommodations.
On account of the Superintendent, Mr..
Rewey being absent,we failed to get all the
information that we desired, but his assis-
tant accompanied US, and courteously
showed us the different apartments, and
kindly impaired information as to the
government and discipline of the insane.
The health of the inmates at present is
very good, only two being OH the sick list.
1t is almost impossible to be otherwise un-
der the efficient treatment the inmates re-
ceive, both at the hands of the physicians
and of those in charge.
Though there has been much improve
ment in the management of our poor farm
during the past few years, there is yet
room for more. If, for instance, the farm
was enlarged to twice its present dimen-
tions, it would be a step in the right d.
rection. More cows, sheep, hogs &c.
could be kept, thereby making it more
profitable to the county. Fruit and shade
trees of every variety should be planted
about the place grass seed should be
sown in every available spot, lawns and
walks made shrubbery and ornamental
trees should be set out, all these improve.
ments would pay. The place should be
made as beautiful and attractive as posi-
Bile it would add much to the scenery of
the place, and at the same time be last
ing benefit to the institution.
The crops on the farm seem to be in
Furnishing condition. every thing that is
done, is done systematically and with care.
On our route home the crops looked very
good. We saw neither chintz bug or rust
in the wheat, while barley, oats and corn.
promise an abundance far exceeding that
of former years.

they had a good time.

How TO BUILD UP TowN.-An ex-
change hits it when it says the best way to
build up town is for every business man
in the place to advertise his business in
the columns of his local paper, and thus
present an array of business houses equal
to the number of houses on the street. 1t
draws trade to the town, draws emigrants
to the town, draws money to the town.
If man wants to buy anything. he goes
where he sees the most men trying to sell
that article. If he wants to sell anything,
he goes where the most men are buying
If man wants to buy groceries, or sell
produce, he goes to the business man that
advertises, for he knows where to find him,
and what he has to sell.
