mind of Coli, or else Coli has taken
Dave unawares before he got in sling
ing mood, at any rate both are remark
ably quiet.
---Rumor has it that Mr.. Dewey
formerly of the firm of Smith, Chand-
Ter & Co. of Milwaukee will enter into
partnership before long with Mr.. }.
! B. Durand, in the wholesale grocery
trade. Mr.. Robinson, at present with
i Mr.. Durand, being about TO become a
partner in new grocery house to be
started in few days.
WIN Kline has been putting in a
new glass front into the old White
building. The work has been done by
Mr. Keyes who has made very neat
and tasty job. The Improvement to
the building in looks alone is sufficient
to compensate for the outlay of stamps.
Who will occupy the same, we have
not learned. 1t wont remain vacant
long.
The Portage City Register in
noticing the removal of Mr.. Cassidy
from the Office of District Attorney,
for Wood Co., as commented upon by
the Tribune two weeks ago says to
Jack:
All right! you exercise your pre-
negatives to elect your ''damphoois,
and the Governor will exercise his
right to remove them, and then every
body will be enjoying their rights, "
don't you see?
Miss Shoemaker's school began
its winter term last Monday at the old
rooms over the cabinet rooms of But
Ter & Smith. Miss S. is endeavoring
to effect arrangement whereby she can
occupy the basement CT the church.
If she succeeds as we hope she will,
we shall look for a larger class than
heretofore. Our people ought to sus-
tain Miss S. and undoubtedly they
will.
Weren't those glorious moonlight
nights, last week? Any young "blood'
who wouldn't take his girl out to en-
joy the holy beauty of such a night as
was last Thursday, ought to be count
ed among the goats, ostracized, and
mathematical by all the girls in christ
endom, but then, maybe after all he
is poor even then he could borrow a
hands!ed. IF you want your lives to
be all sunshine, don't fail to appropri-
ate very considerable of the moon
shine.
1--we known many a church to
die cause it didn't give enough; but
[ never knowed church to die cause
it gave too much. Dey don't die dat
way Brederen, has any of you know
ed a church to die, cause it gave too
much? If you do, just let me know,
and III make pilgrimage to dat
church. and I'll climb by de soft light
of de moon to its moss-covered roof,
and I'll stand dar and lift my hands
to heaven and say, Blessed are de
dead dat die in de Lord.
Our Mr.. Ingraham has been suf-
fering the past week from an ugly old
wound received in the right arm at
Gettysburg. A portion of the bone
will probably have to be removed.
Mr. I. was fo1 time pensioner, but
relinquished all claim upon the pension
department after the recovery, as he
supposed, of the wound which now IS
proving SO painful and troublesome.
Jim, we presume, is ready to show
that little memorial of wound, to
any liberal" ''reformer,' or other
blood relatives of the more honest re-
former who pulled that trigger, at
Gettysburg.
We should have mentioned in our
last issue that the article under the
caption, 1.-The District Attorneyship'
was not our editorial; but the paper
having been made up, and time press
ing, we neglected so to do, neverthe-
less, we take the responsibility of its ut
terance, and only have to say that
what we might have written would
probably have been less dignifed
and more severe, for in our opinion,
Wood County was never before so
grossly outraged. What the people
want is a District Attorney who, I'M
der the panoply of authority will never
dare to attempt to seduce Justice, or
rape the GODDESS Of Liberty.
