MANTTowoo.-Jol ohm Hume, the clever
editor of the Chiffon Times, has the fol-
lowing to say about this city in the last
issue of his paper:
Business was SO dali that
there was hardly penny to be found in
town, and one of the principal officers in
formed us that if q sudden accident
should happen a citizen he believed
coppers enough couldn't be raised to
place over his eyes, while a prominent
business man showed US a Kewaunee p.
0. order for $50, dated July 18th, which
he said couldn't be cashed at the post
office. The only flush parties we saw in
town were the editors, and a couple of
citizens who recently were members Of
the U. S. grand jury at Oshkosh, SO our
readers can imagine how hard up the
balance of the citizens are. But serious
ly speaking, times are duller in Mani
towoc than they have been for years, and
property has deprecated in value which
we very much regret as she ought to be
one of the hveliest cities in the State,
possessing as she does the most beauti-
full and safest harbor ON the West Shore
of Lake Michigan, good railroad faeili-
ties, and an excellent farming country
surrounding, while her citizens are I'M
excelled by her neighbors for hospitality,
intelligence and good feeling generally.
One of the best school houses in the
State can be found within her limits,
while the other structures of this nature
are excellent ones and all supplied with
the best class of teachers. Her church.
es are tasteful edifices and none of the
clergymen, of late years, are troubled
with Beecherism. Her stores are well
filed and her merchants polite, good
hotels, and her manufactures, though
small, turn out good work, but for some
reason the population is not increasing
as rapidly as it ought. OF course the
large trade drawn from there by Chiffon
and Two Rivers affect its growth some.
but in our opinion the want of harmony
among it's citizens and the lack of Gen
eral to represent them abroad is the
principal cause, and should be remedied
at once by inducing Jos. Villas to return
there or by getting another practical and
influential man like him to stir the citi-
zens up to the importance of their 1oca-
ton. Want of space prevents us from
saying more on this subject at present.

The story is going the rounds to the
effect that last Sunday evening, as Fred
Heineman and .Ne Stehle were coming
down firm Gerpheida's, it commenced to
rain and they were compelled to seek
shelter in house by the wayside, oceu-
pied by several ladies. While engaged
in conversation one of the ladies sudden
ly sprang up, ard proceeding to the
door locked and bolted it. Upon being
questioned by another lady as to her
object in harricading the door, she
is said to have responded: "There
comes anothey. drunken fellow, and he
too Will want to seek shelter in here 7"
Comment is unnecessary.

The Buckeye Table Rake Reaper and
Mower [ bought of you last season, gives
me perfect satisfaction. For every part
[ think there is no better in the
WORLD. Il makes the gavels or bum
dies so nice that need no rake when
binding.
My winter wheat was heavy and some
what LODGED, but my Reaper cut it clean
and made good gavels. In Grass, it will
beat the WORLD. 1t lis also very light
draft My advice to farmers is, buy the
Buckeye Improved Table Rake Reaper
and Mower. Yours truly.

DEAR SIR:
Since receiving the improvements
which you sent me, L must say that | am
highly pleased with the working of my
Buckeye Table Rake Reaper and Mower,
AS [ set the machine up myself and not
understanding it, it did not satisfy me,
but after having the machine put in or
der, gave me perfece satisfaction. There
is no machine made, in my opinion, that
lays a nicer gavel for the binder. The
machine is light draft, durable, and a
splendid mower.
Yours &C..

WE greatly regret our shabby appearapc,
this week. We have been maxine some
improvements in our press room (of which
We may speak more fully hereafter) and the
late hour at which the change was eonsum-
mated rendered it exceedingly doubtful
whether we could appear at all, but, by dint
OF faithful, laborious exertion on the part
OF those engaged in the work, we are eua-
oIed to put in appearance of some sort
And though shabby, it's better than no
appearance whatever. 1t is some sat;sf,c-
ton to US to reflect that we have never boan
compelled to miss an issue in the nine wears
OF our publishing.
"A little more time and experience will en-
aoie us to "get the hang of things" and
lhen we can appear decently and in order
Other improvements, to be made after our
removal to our new Office, adds still further
to our hope for comeliness.
