LAY ny DAY It's growing COLDER
And every person is getting older.
E. III. McIlhose was in town last
Sunday.
The Muscoda and Eagle Corner
mines started to play a match game
of base ball near Muscoda last Mon
day, for $50 side, but the game
broke up in the eighth inning, BY
season of some misunderstanding,
the score then standing IA to Is, in
favor of Muscoda.
Adam kurtz started on trip to
the west last Wednesday. He is
going to look up land.
Why don't some one in every
town in the county write up few
locals each week for the columns Of
The Democrat, which will make the
paper interesting for the people of
your own place as well rs others.
George Crawford, of Mineral Point,
was in town last Tuesday in the
interest of his paper.
Mr.. Iyerson, the clothes dyer, who
was hese for about ten days, left last
Thursday for parts unknown, which
is indeed the best place for him.
When here he was after the job of
coloring suit of clothes belonging
to son of his fathers friend. So
this man il company with another
person, went over to see some of his
work. ''Vell, he says, "you pring
de close?" The man remarked he
had not, but just came over to see
work. "Vot, you tink me suspi-
cious," he said. The man replied
no, but that he had heard the dyer
was fraud, and would skip when
he got the clothes. The dyer then
gave references, which were fraudu-
lent, of course, but the man did not
know it. The dyer, however, sue
ceeded in getting the job. Wednes-
day it rained, and the dyer being
afraid the man would wear the
clothes and have the dye washed off,
packed up and skipped, but not
until he had been discharged as a
boarder for disorderly conduct at the
Avoca House.
The Mabbott String Band of He
lena, played at the dance given by
the Avoea Fire Company last Friday
night.
F. NJ. Hicks has moved to town.
He and George Sabene are engaged
in the sale of tanning mills.
P. F. Quinn, prohibition candidate
for district attorney, started out last
Tuesday to canvass the county in
the prohibition cause. Mr.. Quinn
is a smart young man and we wish
him success.
The people of the surrounding
vicinity turned out splendidly to the
dance given by the Fire Company.
The reason was their knowing it
not to be picked crowd, as about
all the dances around here are. The
fact that over sixty tickets were sold
speaks well for Avoca. Highland
sent one young man, Muscoda none,
Lone Rock two or three, while Otter
Creek sent II or Is couples, which
was remarkably well. The dance
passed off very pleasantly, with the
exception Of a little noise occasioned
by those who were effected by fire
water. Whether any fight occurred
or not is not known, but it is evil
IDENTIFY SO, for next morning hat
was found in the street and the
owner has not yet been found.
c. H. Taylor, sewing machine
agent, of Arena, was in town last
Saturday.
Last Saturday was the livelest day
in town for long while.
The Avoca Fire Company held a
special meeting at the engine house
Monday night. The roll was called
and a motion made to adjourn, and
that's about all there was to that.
All wanting any advertising or job
printing done, will save money by
having it done at The Democrat
office.
Politics are just booming and SO is
Avoca. We will have several politi-
al speakers here this fall, and large
stock of fall goods to supply the
demand.
The Avoca Fire Company have
purchased dozen and half shirts
as a part of their uniform. They
intend getting caps soon.
