REMEY ITEMS.

Mr.. j. c. Kirkpatrick, one of cur
most industrious and thifty farmers,
combined business with pleasure
this week, and visited Chicago and
the fat cattle show.
j. w. Rewey and wife left Thurs
day morning for two weeks visit
with friends and relatives in Mime
sofa and Dakota.
NJ. F. Rewey is chuck full of
business and has his house more
than full all the time.
J. B. Huse and Win HI. Elgar, our
merchants, are having fine fall
trade.
The last of our narrow gauge cars
passed here this morning aboard
standard gauge cars. The present
gauge is a great improvement over
the former one and the good people
of Rewey are beginning to realize
that they live in a railroad town.
1t took four men and one boy to
hold j. B. Huse, when he first
learned that Burr w. Jones was our
next congressman.
NJ. O'Brien is visiting friends and
relatives, and more especially friends
around Fennimore.
Most of our farmers have nearly
all their corn gathered, which is
making about three-fourths of an
average crop.
Miss Jenkin, of Mif1lin visited
friends in Rewey last week, the
guest of Mrs. J. w. Rewey.
VIII Eigar and wife visited Platte
vile last week, and George ran the
store. The boys are always glad to
see him.
VIM. Gibbon, our efficient P. NJ,

We hope he will soon be able to
attend to his regular work.

FROM BLANCHARDVlLLE.

BLANCHARD, November IA, 1882.
Blanchard has moved from his
used-to-be dry goods store, which he
is filling with hardware of all kinds,
and he defes competition with all
other dealers of the same.
Henry Michaelson has been down
to Chicago buying goods, which he
has taken great pains to select for
the benefit of his patrons.
Leonard says come one, come all,
l keep saloon.
Holland, Olson & Anderson COM
pany have their store filled with all
kinds of goods and they receive new
supplies every week.
The prohibition ticket received
three votes in town of Blanchard.
They dint want to cheat Jones or
Hazelton.
Lafayette county must be coming
out, when they can't elect such a
man as John Bray who is one of the
finest men in Darlington.
The republicans of old Lafayette
must be getting good natured all at
once to give the democrats all the
offices this fall without their even
asking for them.
Mr.. Boss Reyes can now see how
much the Pecatonica people thought
of his speech delivered at Mineral
Point on Thursday evening before
election. He said that they couldn't
grow anything but mud-turtles.
Now they tell him that they can,
for they grow votes for Jones rather
than for him.
The measles are going very bad
through the towns of Blanchard al d
Argyle.
Blanchard said Oh election d; y
that he found prohibition ticket
behind the salt barrel. He thinks
that it must have been put
down."
If you want a good harness for
little money 60 to John Harney's,
Blanchardville.

blacksmithing in Blanchardville,
