Rock County'S Boss Girl"

The special prize of sewing ma
chine offered by George w. Peck,
of Milwaukee, for the "Boss Girl
in Rock County, to be awarded a,
the Rock County Fair, was given to
Miss Maggie lnman, daughter of
Edward Inman, of Bradford
The prize was awarded by ballot
by a committee composed Of doctors
and editors, and was decided by the
first vote. Miss lnHan happened
to be present when the choice was
made, and Mr.. O. H. Fethers pre-
sented her with the Sc wing machine,
accompanying it with few appro-
pirate remarks in his well known
eloquent style and the lady though
taken by surprise had the nerve to
modestly address a few words to the
committee in the presence of the
crowd, expressing her appreciation
of the gift and warning them to
remember, in case they should ever
conclude that the prize was un-
worthily awarded, that this was not
the first time that man has been
deceived by woman.
Miss Inman is said to be young
lady of many friends and abundant
good qualities and to have accum-
ulated some means. She recently
pre-empted 100 acres Of land out
west.

The Stupid q oy.

Never set a boy down as stupid
because he does not make headway
at school Many of the most cele.
brated men that have ever lived
have been set down by some con
ventional pedagogue as donkeys.
One Of the greatest astronomers Of
the age was restored 10 his father by
the village schoolmaster with these
encouraging words: "Ihere's no
use paying good money for his edu
cation. All he wants to do is to lie
on his back and stare at the sky. /
am afraid his mind is wrong"
Scientiiy men have often been fog
ged foy falling into brown studies
over their books, and many an artist
of the future has come to grief for
drawing all over his copy book an d
surreptitiously painting the pictures
Of his geography. Your genius, un-
less musical, seldom proves himself
one in his childhood, and your smart
and self-suficient piece of precosity,
who takes all the medals, and is the
show scholar Of the school, often
ends by showing no talent for any
thing beyond q yardstick. Sir Wal
ter Scott was called stupid as child
and Il was not even considered ut
all to his credit that he was fond OF
"sich trash" as ballads, and could
learn them by heart at any time.
The boy who really worries you by
being SO unlike his bright brothers.
may be the very one who viii make
you proud and happy some years
hence. Take that for your comfort.

HONORED HERO!
TIE People Of Mineral So;n. Joined in Fun
era, Procession N Memory Of the
Martyrea President,
BUSHES WAS SUSPENDED AND THE
CITY DRAPED IN EMBLEMS
OF WOE,

Monday the people of Mineral
Point mingled their tears with those
of the whole nation over the grave
of its lamented hero. Although the
morning was ushered in by a heavy
thunder and lightning storm, the
temptest subsided, the skies cleared
and the sunlight began to pour
through the dark and riven clouds
by the time the hour of marching
had arrived. Before 2 o'clock the
different organizations began to take
their appointed places in the general
procession which formed in front of
the city hall. The people assembled
on the sidewalks and along the path
way of the procession, and when the
column moved it was computed that
more than three-fourths of the pop
ulation of Mineral Point had joined
in the funeral march in memory of
our dead President. Our business
streets bore the aspects of lamenta-
ton, and from every building waved
the somber symbol seeking to ex-
press the unutterable aff1iction that
the devilish hand Of the assassin
had brought upon the country.
Amid the mournful music Of the
band, the mufied drums, the tolling
of bells, the procession circled
through the principal streets thence
to the NJ. L. church in the following
order:
Mayor and Council,
Knight Templars,
Odd Fellows,
St. Joseph Society,
United Workmen,
Jeuvenile Templars,
Good Templars,
Citizens.
It was the most solemn and grand
funeral pageant in the history
of Mineral Point, not q fourth of che
participants being able to gain en-
trance at the church to listen to the
eloquent memorial address deliver
ed by our townsman, Hon. M M.
Strong, which was followed with
remarks by Revs. Chase, Jacka and
Jenkins on the statesman, soldier,
patriot and noble representative of
the best manhood of the age who
now rests in the eternal stiffness of
death.
The manner in which our citizens,
regardless Of party feeling or strife,
Joined in the fun eral obsequies is
one to which we all can refer in
years to come with unblushing pride,
and which reflects the high standard
of patriotism that governs the true
inwardness of our people.

WITH deal of pride we refer to
the draping of buildings in mourn
ing in Mineral Point over the
great loss our nation has sustained.
1t was general. All business houses
and many private ones were enwrap-
ped in mournful mantles. Deller's
and Gundry 81 Gray's stores and the
post-office were the most conspic-
uously draped, but especial merit is
due the tasteful arrangement with
which Mrs. Gribble decorated her
millinery windows. Here was a
large portrait of President Garfield
encircled with calla lilies and
wreaths of flowers so arranged by
skillful hands as to cause the passer-
by to stop and gaze with mournful
admiration.
Although in a less pretentious
way the citizens Of Mineral Point
have exhibited patriotism unsurpass-
ed, we venture to assert, by any
throughout the land presided over
by him we mourn.
