Jerseys imported this fall by Mess.

are all doing well and giving good
satisfaction.
How is it that the SUPERIOR
ZINES has about four inches of Gen
eral Election Notice aud the Polk
County Press publishes a column
and a quarter p Clear Lake Neaos.
Because our county fathers in
their wisdom and with the spirit OF
reform in their bosoms resolved last
year that they would never again
pay for the long list, such as the
Madison papers and the official pa
pers Of every county in the state,
except this, publish. That's the
reason why.
"A couple of weeks ago we
wrote that winter was upon us and
had apparently come to stay. This
was mistake. The reign of cold,
ice and snow lasted but few DAYS,
and the weather is now mild and
pleasant, navigation as free as in
July, and many begin to fear that
another open winter is before US. A
cold winter with plenty of snow is
what the people are praying for.
Joseph Lasuisse who was
struck in the face and felled on cleo
ton day by James Sammon is now
seemingly out of danger, but recov
ering very slowly. The deed ap-
pears to have been done with a
piece of heavy chain, and was with
out apparent provocation. A war;
rent was issued for the arrest of the
offender, who is the son of our re-
spected townsman Mr.. Timothy
Sammon, but the sheriff has been
unable to find him.
The town authorities talk of
doing something towards opening
q road westward from the village to
the farm that is being opened by
Geo. NJ. Smith. John r. Smith
made an examination of the route
and reports that All expenditure of
$50 this fall would make a passable
summer road over it. The
board cannon expend a little money
to better advantage than IN making
avenues to the open farm lands
back of town.
Rev. Fathet Verweyst is now
permanently located in Superior,
occupying The Hayes residence on
Fifth street, and holds daily services
in the Catholic church here. Father
V. is learned divine, master of
several languages, including Nor
wegian, and his sermons are very
effective. He is studying the Chip
pewa language, and has made such
progress that lie reads it with ease,
and speaks it with tolerable f1uency.
1t is sign of progress to see that
Superior has once more a resident
minister OF the gospel
"A man met Burlington boy
walking toward town on the Agen-
cy road, eating an apple. GLOW
many apples have You ?" asked the
man. The boy replied; "One half
as many apples as Ihave eaten, add
ed to twice as many as | am going
to eat, less five that bigger boy
took sway from me, divided by two
thirds of the number | dropped in
the orchard when | saw the dog,
plus six which | ate on the orchard
