Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1883-11-08

other evening.
THE oddity in events caused by
there being no election in this city
this fall, is noted by nearly every
voter. The newspaper publisher
feels it as much as anyone. We are
robbed of local political gossip, etc.
But wait till next year.
THINK OF IT.-Sl.25 will secure
you the TRIBUNE from now till Jan
uary lst, 1885. Here's an oppor-
tunity to secure one of the best To-
cal and political papers ever known
