ter. vi course this is the local feeling
in the matter and it may not extend be-
yond the limits of this assembly dis
trict. Men here say they do not want
any recent convert for Judge of this
district, but these men forget that Grant
is not the only county in either the con-
gressional or the judicial district. 1t
may be that some of the other counties
will have favorite sons whom they may
wish to honor. At all events the thing
is brewing and some one is going to get
hurt in this fight, and don't you forget
it, for there are men taking interest in
it that are not in the habit of dong
such things under ordinary occasions.
Some one will be surprised when the
time comes for action.

Happy New Year to THE HERALD and
its Gang
Only five weddings in "Old Snake"
last week, viz. Theodore Hail and Mrs.
Susan Hail, Peter Pluemer and Sophia
Kirkenbush, Charles Gage and Miss UT,
VIM. Darrah and Ella Gibson, and
Mary Steltilug and a gentleman from
Iowa whose name we did not learn. Ii
there is another town in old Grant that
can beat us for marriages just let it be
known through the columns of The
HERALD.
Henry Chase, OF Lancaster has been
visiting his sister and other friends the
past few days.
N. j. Turner, better known as Gov
erner,) of Waterloo, was in town last
week looking hale and hearty.
Mr.. Potter, the agent for the Grant
County Witness, gave us the length of
his smiling countenance one day last
week.
On Thursday last we were pleased to
meet Reuben Showalter, Geo. Budd and
Chas. Langridge, of Lancaster, who
were invited guests to the Masonic In
stallation and supper.
Hon. j. w. Seaton our Town Treas
urer is kept very busy making out Tax
Receipts and taking in the Stamps"
Miss Sallie Coons, who was spending
the holidays here with her parents, has
returned to her school.
Master Eugene Coons has been very
sick but we are happy to state that he is
improving rapidly.
j. w. Rockwell has disposed of his
barber shop and has associated himself
with his father Z. s. Rockwell in the
drug business.
The MASQUERADE ball that was given
last Monday night proved to be one of
the happiest events of the season. Over
one hundred couple in attendance and
every body satisfied. Supper excellent
and thanks to Miss Mary MCGEE for the
same. If cap. Ferg" had come down
neither he nor his printers would have
been sighted.
Valentine Huntermer, one of the old
est settlers of Potosi. died very sudden
ly on Sunday last. He has for several
years been in poor health but was not
considered in dangerous condition I'M
til within an hour of his death. He was
an excellent manager and a man of
strict integrity, and in all his business
affairs he retained the confidence of all
with whom he had dealings. His funer-
al was attended on Tuesday, the Sd inst.
from his late residence, by large con-
course of people. His loss will be felt
by large circle of friends, and many
who are in no wise related will mourn
his departure as sincerely as if he had
been one of their own kindred. He
leaves a wife and several sons and
daughters to morn his loss.

The vagaries of an invalid are not
always to be encouraged. A Long
Island woman, convinced that her end
was near, and being unduly solicitous
about the life of her six children, i'm
plored her husband to marry her young
err sister He promised to do so after
the funeral, and the sister was equally
accommodating, but the sick woman was
afraid that they might not be as good
as their word. She entreated them to
give 4 dying woman the consolation OF
knowing that her children would Ger.
tainly be cherished after her departure
Worn out with her importantly. they
finally consented to be married at once
When everything was settled to hei
satisfaction she derived so much con,
tentmcnt from contemplating the future
of her little ones that she rapidly con,
valesced. - Chicago Herald

SOME time ago as noted in The HER
AID several boxes of goods for the Mich
igan sufferers were shipped to the burnt
district from this city. Recently the
following letter of acknowledgement
was received:
WHITE Rock Dec 10, 1891.
Mrs. MARY HYDE, Lancaster, Wis
The goods have come, and are being
distributed among the needy ones.
Please accept their thanks as well as
mine.
The great want has been met. The
destitute is supplied. The supply which
has poured in so generously from all
parts has proved equal to the suffering.
| do not know of case of actual want
among the people who were burned out.
Some who were not burned out gave
away all to those whose goods were con-
sumed and there's more real need among
some who escaped the fire than among
those who are drawing relief.
hope | am not doing wrong in sup
plying destitute families who divided
their clothing, bedding and food with
their unfortunate neighbors at the time
of the fire Very truly yours.
