tion Is that the Democrat failed to
make Its appearance III Ridgeway last
week. Cause unknown. Small grain
is tiourisnln9 timely, but corn has had
a struggle to make an appearance out
OF the ground, owing to the cool
weather and rains. The license for
saloon keepers this year has been fixed
at fifty dollars; three parties have
taken out licenses To sell III West Blue
Mounds. Jones, the veteran assessor
Of the town If Ridgeway, goes up on
the Mounds this month. He gets an
actual view Of the town by this means,
SO he says-in a horn.
