P. After partaking of a splendid
wedding dinner, the happy couple
started off for their future home in

A short time since George ]. Gold
thorp, of Lost Grove, called at The
Democrat Office TO get some posters
printed, offering for sale about fifteen
hundred dollars worth of personal
property. but not knowing full partic-
ulars necessary therefor, the printing
of the bills was delayed. In the mean
time notice to the same effect was
inserted in The Democrat. In less
than ten days after its first publication
the large amount of cattle, consisting
of sixty-three head of cattle and one
hundred tons of hay. was disposed of
by private sale at good prices. An ad-
vertisement in The Democrat brings
the very best results.
Every citizen is agreed with his
neighbor that any legitimate business
enterprise, great or small, which can
be established in his town is of benefit
to the whole people. And the fact that
Mineral Point has in the past fell
short of its share of the various in
dustries, should be an incentive to our
people to strive and obtain the estab-
lishment of any kind of new business
here that will add to the Importance of
the city The articles manufactured
here and sold outside of our retail
trade are less than half dozen in
number Towns around us with one
half our population do better than
this. No one can claim hat scores of
articles could not be manufactured as
cheaply and pro6tabl1 here as any
where else. Men with capital, skill,
and enterprise locate where they get
encouragement to engage i'll the bust
ness in which they are interested. The
rapid and marvellous growth i'll the
past few years has in great measure
diverted many enterprising men from
locating hers. But this can be over
come. We ought, by reason of our
superior natural advantages, to have
more manufacturing enterprises than
any other section. Efforts can be
made to attract hitler that most deslr-
able element. Organized efforts with
such an end in view would work Won
ders-evervone could and would give
a little of his time and money toward
helping a movement which could not
fail to result benefcially TO every in
dlvidual as well as the community at
large We believe that well directed
efforts would make next years i'm
provements fall little short of if not
equal the great improvement of last
year. Some may make the well worn
remark, cit is easy enough to talk
Well, SO it is; it took very little talk to
start the Zinc Works as compared with
its Importance. Let it be generally
known that any person or company
coming here with few hundred or a
few thousand dollars, more or less, to
invest in any kind of business, will be
encouraged. get a square deal, no un
necessary obstacles being allowed to
stand in their way, and they Will reSdi-
ly see the real advantages we possess
in being surrounded by the best farm
ing, stock raising and mining country
in the United States, and also the 10
less important fact that we are blessed
with good society, good schools good
and all tnat goes to make up
a pleasant abiding place for the capital
ist or the laborer.
