Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1881-06-17

Remember the free Lecture at City
Hall, Friday evening, by Mrs. DR.. A.
Gould, upon the subject of Health and
Common Sense. An invitation is ex-
tended to all to be present, and listen
to her lecture.
The coming Fourth of July will be
celebrated in Blanchardville in a
grander style than ever before. Hon.
Hamilton FL. Gray, and FL. J. Gallagher
will be the orators. The Eagle Cornet
Band of Warren, is engaged to furnish
music.
| Mr.. L. Scott Ansley of this city, has
been invited to deliver the Grafton at
the celebration of the coming Fourth
of July in Darlington. Our Darlington
friends may rest assured of one thing,
and that is, that they will be favored
with a fine Grafton. They have been
fortunate in securing Mr.. Ansley for
their orator.
We noticed an unusual sight for this
season and region on Monday last, on
Mr.. VIM. LANNON'S farm north of town.
A large field of winter wheat was
headed out nicely, and the straw looked
strong and healthy. With any sort of
fair weather until the end of the sea
son Mr.. Lanyon will undoubtedly have
big crop.
A wedding occ urred in this city on
Wednesday last, in which the contract
ing parties were Mr. Reuben Cox, of
Newell, Iowa, and one of Mineral
Points fair daughters, Miss Lena
Rothe. The happy couple started for
their new home in Iowa, on Wednes-
day afternoons train. They have the
congratulations and well wishes of
many friends.
Wolf hunting Or propagation is get
ting down to science in Crawford
county. A few days ago the state
treasurer paid Henry Evans of Wau-
Zeka, 1855 all in lump, as bounty for
the destruction of wild animals. To
entitle him to this money, Evans had
to exhibit the ears and scalps of ITO
foxes or 50 wolves, and two foxes.
Evans is undoubtedly an old hand at
the busineSs.-Ex.
A meeting was held on Wednesday
evening for the purpose of arranging
for celebration of the Fourth of July
in this city. An energetic committee
was appointed to calN IS for the neces-
Sary funds and report next Monday
evening. There is a general feeling on
the part of our citizens to contribute
literally. Further announcement will
be made after the meeting in the City
Hail, on Monday evening next.
OF course, no one who has visited
this city during the past week has failed
to notice the improvements which have
been made on the post office building,
by the proprietor, Mr.. John Spensley.
The new plate-glass front presents a
very fine appearance. Mr. Spensley is
determined to put the building in
thorough repairs. When completed
the improvements in the law office of
Lanyon & Spensley and in the Demo-
crat office, will greatly contribute to
the comfort and convenience of the oc-
cupants.
If you have not decided to go OH the
special excursion, next Tuesday, to
western Iowa, it is not yet too late for
you to make up your mind to do SO.
Land seekers will find this splendid
opportunity to take a look at the rich
land of western and central Iowa. The
fare for the round trip is fixed at $1,000
tickets good for return in sixty days
only half the price of regular tickets.
Hundreds of former residents of this
part of the state are now located in
Plymouth, Cherokee and other coun-
ties of western Iowa, and they are, as
far as we can learn, unanimous in pro-
nouncing that section of the state rich
and prosperous.
