MAPLE GROVE.

A number of marriages have lately taken
place in this vicinity. On the 9th Ben.
Horen and Ellen Haloran were married at
| the Maple Grove church by Father Rice, on
the 18th Bat Geiger and Minnie Fritch, on
the I4th Mr.. Snifhn and Mary O'Brien and
on the 10th Michael Hussey and Maggie
Earles had similar services performed FOR
| them. A democratic president will be elect
ed Fl years from now, if no sooner.
The dance at John O'Brien's on the nth
was largely attended and proved to be an
enjoyable affair. John Kings won the two
revolvers ratified and goes around now armed
to the teeth. John is an adept in the use of
such weapons and safe man to be let Sc
verely alone.
Preparations for the manufacture of cheese
the coming summer are being made. The
Horn factory was recently rented to Mr.,
Meyers but some Of its patrons are not salts
fed with the terms. They claim a response
BILE person offered to do the work for less
money and should consequently have secur-
ed the factory. Perhaps the committee VIII
be able to explain this to their dissatisfied
constituents.
Thos. Haloran has about concluded I,
build factory at Nolan's corners. Mr. H.
is one of the most enterpriSing, go-ahead
farmers in the county and no better place
for a factory could be found in this neighbor-
hood.
Willie Kirby has taken out large amount
of ship timber this winter and is anxiousIy
waiting for sleighing.
Immense numbers Of ties and posts are be-
ing manufactured in Maple Grove, Franklin,
Rockland and other towns; and almost daily
shipments made from the several convenient
stations on the Mil, l.. S. & w. II. r.
One of the largest and best stocked coun-
try store in the county is that owned by the
Horn Bros, and no more honest or indie
pendent man than John A. Horn ever stood
behind counter TO serve customer. A
farm of 24o acres, of as fine land as the eye
e'er saw, is connected with the store; and, if
convenient to a large city, would readily
command 500, 900 as fair price.
Local politics are beginning to show signs
Of life and triangular fight for chairman
seems to be assured Mr. Nolan is a care
full, conscientious officer, has made a fair
record on the County Board, is candid and
out-spoken and we think it for the best in
terests of the town TO reflect him.
An auction will be held at Michel McNa-
mara's next Thursday for the puspose of dis
posing of the real estate and personal proper
ty of Mr.. NJ. who has concluded to remove
to Nebraska.
Several ladies from Manitowoc and Mil
waukee have lately been visiting Mrs. Cahill
and family of Franklin. No better place or
more hospitable hostess could be found,
Stephen Leary, of Morrisontown, was
brought home dead las, week from the north
ern woods, having been accidentally shot by
a companion who was carelessly toying with
a revolver. Such accidents are becoming al
together too frequent and some means should
be devised to lessen or prevent them. There
is growing tendency among senseless young
men to carry reviewers, through. mistaken
idea that it raises them in the estimation of
their acquaintance; and seems manly to don
the livery and ape the habits of desperate.
The man who carries a revolver among his
neighbors impeaches their honesty and good
name and virtually says they are set of cut
throats and villains. No honest man breads,
no true man admires these brainless braggarts
while pity takes the place of fear and admit
ration. Silently, tonight, the snow is fall
ing on Stephen Leary's grave, life of
promise has gone out in darkness, and what
a consolation to his family to have the fool
who shot him say Il didn't know it was
loaded.''
