THE RIDGEWAY PICNIC.
Nearly Two Thousand People in At.
tendance.

The annual Catholic picnic of Ridge
way was held on Tuesday, June 20, on
the pleasant church grounds about a
mile west of Ridgeway station.
People came from far and near to
join in the pleasures of the occasion,
and Notwithstanding the threatening
weather there were present during the
day from fifteen hundred to two thou
sand people. From early morning men,
women and children dressed in holiday
garb poured into the picnic grounds.
They came from the four points of the
COMPASS, until it seemed as though all
Iowa county and a large portion Of
other counties had gathered there.
The morning excursion train from
west brought happy throng of pic
nickers from Montfort, Cobb. Edmund
and Dodgeville. while from the several
stations east had come large represent
atoms.
The grounds were fitted up with
dancing floor, stands, tables and seats.
and everything appeared to be arranged
in the best possible manner.
How was the vast multitude of peo-
pie present to be entertained? The
hospitable Father Luby and his con-
gregation had anticipated the wants of
their guests, and had made ample prep
arations to provide for them. Prof.
Smiths string band was on hand to
furnish music for the dancers. The
large dancing floor was almost con-
stantly filled with fair young ladies
and their gallant partners. At high
twelve dinner was announced. Large
dining tables, forming almost perfect
square. were spread. the space inclosed
being occupied by smaller tables, upon
which were heapcd the provisions for
the feast. The inimitable ID. b. Law
Ter. in snow white apron, presided as
chief carver. and performed his ardu-
Gus duties in the most satisfactory
manner. About eight hundred people
took dinner. and so ample were the &C
commodations that none were allowed
to go away unproylded for.
Various sports were engaged in and
enjoyed during the afternoon. The
dance continued until evening, greatly
to the delight of all participating.
The Ridgeway picnic of 1882 will
long be remembered as very pleasure
able event. The genial Father Luby
and his congregation know how to en-
terrain their friends. and their efforts
in this direction on Tuesday were even
more successful than usual.

Where did those gentlemen come
from that were hanging around the
Lewis Bros. store last Saturday night ?
This question might have been asked
as they crowded their way out into the
street, with big bundles under their
arms, and nobody cried out "Stop
the thieves" Nobody had right to
stop them They saw Lewis Bros.
advertisement in the Democrat, and
compared clothing. which they had
perfect right to do. We ventured 10
ask them what they paid for their
suits, and were astonished when they
told us twelve dollars. They are the
best clothes for the money. Those
gentlemen came long distance. Yes,
and for four or five dollars saved YOU

Lewis is determined not to be under
sold; all he asks is for you to compare
his clothing with any in the burg or

In these times of quack medicine adj

mended. They invariably cure stomach
and liver complaints, diseases of the
kidneys and urinary difficulties. We
