would make good board. d. Geo.
Morrison is mentioned by some OF
his friends for the craftsmanship, but
we doubt if he will run.
1t is amusing to hear some peo-
pie talk of their influence, and of
the number of votes they control. To
hear them talk one would imagine
majority of the people were fools or
knew no more than cattle.
The candidates for County
Judge are G. w. Perry, the present
inc umbent,-who if he lives his
term out, till next January, will
have occupied the Office four years,
Richard Bardon, and Richard G.
Coburn.
In list of the members of the
Whitehead party for the Black
Hills, published in the Bismarck
Tribune, we see the name of V.
Desimval credited to Minneapolis.
According to the state board
of assessment, there is in Wiscon-
sin $79.566, $40 Of personal prop
erty, and $273,2 1872 real estate !;
3os,453 horses, s4O,5s5 cattle, and
1,o6s,767 sheep. There is in the
state property to the extent of Sl8,
5l4,19e, exempt from taxation, and
1871 miles of railway.
The Pioneer-Press is respon-
sible for the statement that not a
railroad train in the whole state of
Minnesota has been delayed for 3
single hour during the past winter
on account of the snow. In view of
the serious troubles experienced by
railroads in the eastern and middle
states for several months past, this
fact is worthy of being placed on
record.
Isaac !. Moore, Esq, returned
this week to his old stamping
ground, after an absence of several
months at his old home in Kentucky,
and was heartily greeted by his
many friends. Mr.. Moore, we are
sorry to say, is in somewhat feeble
health, his chrome trouble, sleep
lessness, begins to tell upon him.
It is to be hoped that he will grow
strong in our bracing air and quiet
scenes.
Strange, but true. The loud
est mouthed advocates of reform (?)
are men who pay scarcely dollar
of taxes here and hold not foot of
land in their own name. Their
sole aim is to plunder non-residents
through the medium of taxation,
and then sit with their heels upon
the stove, chewing, splitting, smok-
ing, whining and fault finding,
while supported by the spoils.
Each candidate has his little
list of voters, with check marks and
initials opposite each name, the
whole ciphered down to decided
majority for himself. Opposite
some names are the letters, I'D. c."
(dead certain) others have CIT. c."
ttolerably do,) others again a single
I'D" (doubtfuD, while an" mix
stands against the fellows who are
poking him up with sharp sticks
and will vote for the other man.
Such is life on the eve OF election.
No just man can find word of
fault with George F. Holcomb, the
present town treasurer, who is a
candidate for reelection. A more
deserving, competent and accom-
modating man for the office it would
be hard to find.
Mr. A. G. Brown, his opponent.
stands as high as any man in the
community and if elected would, we
doubt not, give general satisfaction.

Third street,a gold neck chain with
8 a gold cross, locket, and finger

chain was the name "May." The
