Billy Bishop, the well known
livery man of Dodgeville, RECENTLY

The services in the M. e. church
last Sunday -children's day-were
very interesting. The church was
handsomely decorated with flowers,
and winged warblers in cages joined
their notes with the children's songs
of praise.

misspelled word in last weeks

Dodgeville Chronicle: The peo-
pie of Mineral Point are pushing the
arrangements for their fourth of
July celebration right along,
Among other big attractions, they
have secured Gen. E. S. Bragg as
orator of the day.
Peter Wonn, wife and daughter
Carrie, of Miff1in, made us a pleas
ant call on Wednesday. Mr.. Wonn
is an old standby friend and SUBJ
scriber of The Democrat, and we are
always doubly glad to bave him call
both for the sake of old friendship
and because his presence reminds us
Of the fact that there are still a few
democrats left in the almost solidly
republican town of Mifflin.

From the Detroit Evening News;
The street parade of the Burr Rob
bins circus on Saturday, though
quite up to the average, was but
faint indication of the excellent
show under the canvass. The
menagerie contained a fine collection
of animals. including the hippo
potamus, COW faced antelope, etc.
The giant horse was, perhaps, the
most remarkable animal that has
ever visited the city. The ring per
Torrance one of the best given in
years. The tumblers, trapeze per-
formers, clowns and trained horses
were unusually clever. The tents
were filled afternoon and evening
by eagar crowds of people and every
body got his moneys worth.

They sell the Mccormick harvesting
They call attention to
several new and important features
of the Mccormick Irvine Binder for
1883, namely the device for moving
the binder so as to adjust it to grain
of different lengths of straw, and the
additional trip, which allows the
bundle to be discharged under all cir
cumstances. They especially desire
those intending to purchase Irvine
binders TO carefully examine the
of the "twine guide" on
the Mccormick which unerringly |
guides the Irvine to the knotter,
and which is most valuable to the
machine after the needle bearings |
have had some wear.
From the Grand Rapids Daily |
Democrat: Not even the strong
counter attractions of the races, J es-
terday afternoon, sufliced to materi-
ally diminish the large audience
which Grand Rapids always fur
nishes frst-class circus, such as the |
Burr Robbins. At night, too, the
large tent was crowded from the
topmost seat to the ring. We are
a circus-loving people, and it is
many years since we have enjoyed
an entertainment of this kind, po-
sessing more genuine merit than
that of last night In the menag-
erie the large horse, the heavy weight
litter, and others advertised special
ties, attracted general attention.
Many new features were introduced
in the circus performance. The en-
tire programme was really first-class |
in quality, and deserving of great
People are coming here from

Gus Fourth, Every citizen of Min

attire, and decorate in a manner
becoming the historic event which
we commemorate; let every store
and dwelling be appropriately
decked with flags and banners; let
old Mineral Point do herself proudn
in making the celebration of the
