I have few items this week that !
hope age will not spoil before they reach
Manitowoc The first is emigrative and
! the objective points are the prairies of
Iowa and Nebraska, and Clark county, the

| On Saturday last party of Bohemians
! drove through Mill Home on their way
to Iowa. they have a Journey OF 800 miles
to make before they reach their future
| home, something they will never ac-
complish if they depend upon the team
| Of quadrupeds they nad nltched to their
wagon for success, for It's solemnly aver

Mill Home school is to have a new

Our election did not pass of very
quietly. Two gentlemen got into
difficulty about an election ticket and in
the sediment of it one OF them lost the
greater part of his big gray whiskers,
the pride and glory of his impressive
frontispiece. David Day was here work

leon-hke peculiarly, but watched Ills
movements with distrust. When he APP
preached the other combata9s with the
split ticket, lac had in his hands the straw
that broke the canel's back and now he
