Iowa County democrat. [volume] (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1877-1938, 1881-10-28

Rev. NJ. Balch, of Lacrosse, spoke
IN the interests of the new temperance
party, at the City Hall, on Tuesday
evening He presented the claims of
the new party ably and fairly. and
spoke in his usually earnest and forci-
bic manner. Those who heard him
could not help believing that the
opinions expressed were his ho2est
convictions. If the democrats of this
city had known what a SEQ ring he
would give the republican party they
would all have turned out to hear him.
Nearly all the ills that atiiict mankind
can be prevented and cured by keep
ing the liver, stomach and kidneys in
perfect working order. There is no
medicine known that will do this as
quickly and surely. without interfering
with your duties as Parkers Ginger

We received call on Monday morn
ing from II. \. Terrill, republican can
didate for superintendent of Iowa
county, He labors under the unusual
embarrassment of running against 4 /
lady on the other ticket; nevertheless
he is nominated. and must run. He
seems to be in good wind and looks
strong enough to carry the election If
he does, and fails to make a good su-
oerintendent, we shall be disappointed.

The fairs of the 5. W. Wis. Industrial
Association held in this city and Iowa
County Agricultural Society held at
Dodgeville have for years been sue
cess, neither society having failed to
give liberal premiums and pay them in
full. This fact speaks well for this
section of country. The outgrowth
and in most eases direct result of these
fairs has been the Improvement of
our stock-raising facilities, the impor-
tatlon to this vicinity of some of the
finest and best breeds of horses and
cattle that money could buy, the study
and practical use of the best methods
OF raising good crops, and on the whole
the learning Of much beneficial econo-
my by the farmer, the stock-raiser and
by every one who has taken sufficient
Interest to attend or who have placed
on exhibition anything, whether in
the stock, poultry, produce, mechanical
or fine art departments. 1t should be
matter of qualification to every citi-
zen that we are blessed with such
surroundings, and that we live in a
community which is fast developing
hitherto hidden and unsought agricul-
tural and mineral wealth. Let every
one do his part, be it ever so little, to
aid and encourage whatever promises
for the public good, and the result will
always be great gain in some way.
