IN the Democaat of last week appears
an article signed Liberal Republican, 1"
from which it would appear that Dodge
vile Republicans are badly affected
with Greeleyism, and many of them
likely to join the Democracy.
To make broad assertions that cannot
be sustained, under nom de plume is
the mode usually adopted by unscrupu,
lous men. That there is any consider
able number Of sorehead Republicans in
Dodgeville we know to be untrue; and
the author of the article dare not gain
say us over his own name.
The anonymous scribbler might as
we'll have given his name, for it is we'll un

MINERAL POINT WISCONSIN, THURSDAY JULY %, 1872.

LAST week we spent three days in the
towns of Linden, Highland, Avoca and
Arena Everywhere the people were
preparing to commence harvesting, and
generally were hopefSl of excellent
crops. In Linden and Highland the
prospect of large yield was never bet
ter; but we regret to learn that in Arena
and some parts Of Pulaski the chinch
bug has done considerable damage and
the crop will be light
AT LINDEN
we found Messrs. Smith Brothers and
William Hopper attending to customers,
and evidently satisfied with their lot in
life. Both these firms carry good stocks,
and sell as cheap as dealers in other
parts of the county. Ingram, as usual,
was in his element doing the agreeable
to numerous friends and guests of his
excellent house. Adney Strong was in,
| dustriously showing plain, and between
strokes letting off his wrath and chagrin
at the nomination of Horace Greeley by
| the Democrats. He will hardly swallow
the dose compounded for him. John
| Qulleash, successor to Qnilleash Il Kneal,
Blacksmths, is doing a better business
than ever before he is frst,cluss
mechanic, Industrious, sober, and enter
prising. John deserves the success he
is meeting with.
HIGHLAND
is unquestionably about the lvliest viii
lage in the county. Business men seem
to have good run of trade, mechanics
plenty of work, the people generally
prosperous. OF course we stopped with
John Saar, the jolly host of the we'll
kept Wisconsin House To 90 to High
land and not see John, would be about
like going to Egypt and not seeing the
pyramids, or to Niagra and no, see the
Falls. DR.. David reports a prevalence
of the scarlet fever among the children
in his vicinity, but otherwise the town is
"dstressingly healthy The Doctor
was reported to us as having gone over
to the Democrats, which we found to be
untrue. He will work ior and vote the
Republican ticket this fall as heretofore.
David II Cleminson carry about the
heaviest stock of general merchandise
| in the village, and do large business.
They are both good business men, are
widely known through the northe part
of the county and respected for their
liberality and honesty in dealing with
their customers We were surprised to
find so extensive an establishment as
that of kreul & Fecht who manufacture
the Highland Clipper plow, and do all
kinds of carriage and wagon work
They have excellent work shops supplied
with latest improved machinery. EN-
p!oyinG steadily eight mechanics; more,
We believe, than can be said of any sim

we found improved since our last visit,
and evidences of prosperity were not
wanting. Mr. George Parr, Lumber deal
er, is undoubtedly doing about the heay-
lest business in his line in the county.
He sells lumber cheaper than our dealers
can afford to, and consequently many
from this locality 90 there for it. We
invite attention to his advertisement in
another column, and recommend parties
who go to Avoca for anything in his line
to see him before purchasing. The
Avoca House, kept by Jas. S. Smith, is
one of the best in the State; and cer-
tainly far superior to any other in Avoca.

Newport has never been so full before, and hotels

The Ocean House Is crowded to overnowing and
over nfty people were turned away last week. as It
was impossible to find accommodation for them.
Last evening there was hop at the ocean House
which was attended by five or six hundred OF the
residents. large number OF the cottagers were
present. and the ladies were dressed quietly and
in good taste. OF course there were q few ex-
