charge at Union Grove, Racine Co.
We did not find our old friend Lam
roux, who is the host Of the Empire
House; he being away farming, We
presume digging potatoes with scythe,
as we understand he is one of the Re-
formers, and is fast learning the ways
of the Changers. However we demol-
ished pile Of good things at the EN-
pre- dining table. for which we didn't
leave farthing, for we hadn't a plea
yune with US. We found the son and
heir Of 0. H. Mr.. W. o. Lamroux SELL
ing goods and apparently as happy as
a man ought to be. We stepped into
the Times Office and found bro. In
gersoll full Of business, just striking
Of his sheet which by the way is the
neatest looking sheet printed in Port
age County, and as local paper
is a success. Mr.. Ingersoll don't let
an item pass unno.iced, which is the
secret Of success with local papers.
The Times is we'll supported, as it ought
to be, and we commend it to- the home
citizens; who ought, and will sustain it
with an abundance of home patron
age.
There is large travel to and from Plo-

and further east Some twenty car
loads have been shipped since the fall

many of the excellent people of Plo-
yer, and enjoyed our brief visit with a
relish. In the coming years we look
to see Plover q thriving village. with a
growing business that will stretch out
it's arms to grasp the products of its
resources which are by no means Of tri-

Those Notes. 1t is rumored that
among the assets of the Union National
Bank Of Chicago, which has recently
gone into liquidation under the currency
act, was found two negotiable promisso-
ry notes for S25, 00O-executed by
some of the solid men of Wausau, Wis
consin, payable to James F. Joy. 1t
must be gratifying to the depositors to
know that this amount is secured to
them beyond a peradventure, and We
congratulate them on this fact, for
hasn't the Grand Rapids Drug man
stated that the signers Of these notes
represented more hard cash than the
whole Of our city combined. He knows
how it is himself. - Steoens Point Jour

We fail to see anything very funny
scarey or "passing strange in the dis
closures made above It is certainly
gratifying to the "depositers' to know
that they have solid S25, 200 lump
to hel p secure their losses, if any
The notes were given in good faith, and
when they become due they will bs
paid as the makers intended they should
be. Has the editor or the Journa
found a mares nest? We guess not.
There is NO weeping and wailine and
gnashing of teeth among those "depos.
tiers" because the notes are Wausau
notes, they feel just as comfortable and
secure as they would if the notes were
made by Grand Rapids men. Now II
t he notes were of Point manufacture
who knows but these same depositors
would be clothed in sackcloth and ashes
and refuse to be comforted because
their stamps "were not. When Wau
sau gets off a good note on Chicago,
there is great JOY in both places, and
conseqent dependency in Steven
Pinto. Do you see the Point, Ed.
Since writing the above we have
learned the exact truth in regard to the
matter, and it didn't come by the way
of the Point either. The note fol-
S25, 900 never passed out Of the hand:
of the company. 1t was endorsed BY
Joy to Mr.. De1nison, of Boston, Treas
urer of the company, and re-endorseC
by Dennison to Mr.. Cromwell ASS t

paid on the 18Th inst. an currency by
those so1id men Of Uausou, of whom
the Drug man spake, and the bal
