Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1878-11-28

IN the two years the HERALD has been in
present hands it has never contained dun.
But now se wish to make call upon our
friends One thousand dollars are wanted as
soon as subscribers respond. 1t is good
round sum and would render US great assist
ance. Yet if every subscriber would at once
forward one years subscription, not one in
twenty would after week feel any poorer.
Soon thereafter we believe the HERALD will
make each one feel considerably richer. We
nave stIiven to make the HERALD good
county paper, we want to make it better.
Those disposed TO assist win add to the favor
by forwarding their subscriptions at once
not waiting for Christmas or New Years.

Phil. Allen. jr.. the head officer Of the
Wisconsin Good Templars, spoke to full
house at the Methodist church last Sunday
evening He is ready speaker and is truths
fal and logical. We can listen to him with
great pleasure, for he has no stories of his
own debauchery to relate for the amusement
of one part of his audience and to the disgust
of the other part, at $40 night. He appears
to be man worthy of the cause he advocates
and deserves honor and elevation at the hands
Of temperance people.
fers bargains in jewelry. certain class OF
jewelers. the past year offered jewelry as
cheap as if you bought them with Flats
Their jewelry proved to be itself not much
better than ''fats." Mr.. Murphey has been
long established in business in Lancaster.
Everybody knows he sells an article only for
what it Is. He does not put up brass and
oroidea and say they are gold, nickel and call
it silver, or glass and pronounce it diamond.
But he, for reasons stated in his advertise~
ment, Offers his genuine articles of jewelry at
prices "without regard to cost" for time
that we suppose will not go beyond Christ
mas. Call and supply yourselves before his
varied assortment is reduced too much for
good selections.
Young lady of l6 and two big brothers
from the country in town on a cold morning.
Young lady has handsome features, but is thin
Iy clad. As they walk big brothers suddenly
pop into a saloon. There they doubtless get
something warm. Young lady looks wistfully
atfthe saloon steps, looks up street, looks
down street, looks across street, looks lost.
She pulls her thin shawl about her and begins
to pace slowly back and forth by the saloon;
thinks her big brothers will be out in min
ute. Men see her and wonder to themselves
why she shivers there in the cold. She was
never in town before and is dumb with en-
barassment. The minutes pass; fifteen min
utes; half an hour. Big brothers have warm
ed up inside and outside several times prob.
ably sister that can swill the pigs, fodder
the cattle and drive the horses in the country
needs nobody to care for her in town. She ex-
tends her walk to half-a square, then from
street to street aud back, lingering and shiy-
ering at the corners, expectant yet despairing.
An hour is gone; two hours, part of which she
passes sitting on a door step. Though her
gances come through her smiles she makes no
responses to invitations TO come in and warm.
Her intellect seems as benumbed as her fingers
and as her feet which she pulls up in the wrap
pings of her thin skirts. Ia three hours the
big bows come out. Their heads are benumbed
too, but they are as happy as larks. Young
lady tries to take big brothers to the wagon.
She never saw them so happy before. They
are young men just starting out in life. Her
tears fall and they speak kindly to Sissy"
! and laugh as if her eyes we're yielding pearls.
She-but this is the end OF the first chapter.
The scene was in view Of HERALD window.
There was no dead drunk in the case, no pick
ing out of the gutter, no tender girl with rosy
cheeks frozen to death, no lingering sickness,
but-this is only the first chapter.
