Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1882-11-02

ST. Con-. WILLIAMS has laid pipe
from Squire Thomas spring in a
southeasternly direction to Union
St, where a large trough is placed,
so that teams and cows NAV be
watered at all seasons of the year.
It's a good thing.
Col. kEyEs, who recognizes in
himself twin candidate for Con-
gress, entertained by his humorous,
yet sarcastic, remarks, a large gath
ering on Tuesday evening at the city
hall. If he made point we have
yet to hear of it, although many
seemed highly entertained.
UPON the nomination of John
Bray, lifelong prohibitionist and
consistent temperance, man for the
Assembly by the Republicans, II. s.
Cook, the regular prohibition candi-
date withdrew from the field. The
prohibitionists were not pleased with
Cooks actlon and so nominated
Thos. II Sheldon, of Willow Springs.
Any county that has compe-
tent and trustworthy treasurer is ex-
ceedingly fortunate, and if its citi-
zens consult their own interests they
will not allow a change to take place
Such is the case in Iowa county. In
James Cleminson we have q model
official, and he should be retained
as an assurance of the proper pro-
lection Of the county's wealth.
Villas admitted that the Republi-
can party has in its ranks the bulk
of the intelligent and refined men
of the country; yet he advanced the
misleading theory that honesty and
good government were not linked
with intelligence and refinement.
This is all bosh; he knows better,
administering this sop only as en-
couragement for the beguiled and
innocent trailers of his party.
THE new stock yards at the depot
are a great improvement over the
old ones. The yards now consist
of six pens, having two loading
shutes, and have all the improve
ments in folding gates, etc, that
larger yards are provided with. The
pens are foored with two-inch stuff,
and will be kept clean with water
coming from the tank. Hogs, in
future, on reaching the yard will not
be sorry they left home.
THE Democrats claim that their
county ticket represents every class
of industry. This being the case,
together with the fact that they are
all able-bodied men, most of whom
have controlling interests in profit
able business enterprises, they are con
sequently not in the least in need of
any Official favors; therefore voters
would not be accomplishing the
most good possible by voting the
Dem ocratic ticket.
Why will you buy bed-springs of
pedler>? You can buy them cheap
er from our regular dealers, and if
the goods are not as recommended,
they are here to make matters
straight. DO not be talked into
trading with strangers. Last night
we were told that one of our citizens
thought he was getting bargain on
hair mattress from one of these
men. The first night he used it the
hog bristles walked up through the
cotton covering and pricked him so
he couldn't sleep; and he is now of
the opinion that nothing but sheet
iron will keep them down. Trade
with your established business men.
WE do not believe it necessary to
say a single word touching r. L.
Joiner's fitness for County Surveyor,
but in the present mixed condition
of politics in this county it is barely
possible that an inefficient man may
be elected. Mr.. Joiner has during
his present term proved himself to
be a very careful and accurate Sur
veyor, acconplishes great amount
of work 10 day, and has prevented
much litigation by counseling dis.
