1.-THE melancholy. days have come.
The saddest OF the year.
But after all Autumn has its charms.
The forests which all summer long have
been clothed in sumber green now don
gayer attire, and natures brush is
never used with greater effect than in

detaches shower of yariegated leaves
that fall with gentle rustic to the
ground forming a carpet that serves to
protect the roots of the more tender
vegetation through the severity of an
other winter. While the farmer busily
engaged in gathering in the hard earn
ed fruits of his summer toll, all serves
to form panorama that cannot fail
to be appreciated by the true lover of
nature; and there is certain class of
population that infest our county towns
at present who are, to say the least, the
reverse of sad and melancholy We
refere to the hoard of gamblers and
blacklegs that infest our county fairs;
who chuckle with delight as they rake
in the dollars and dimes of rye unso-
phisticated granger, while their opera
tons bold and thieving as they are,
are directly authorized by our several
Agricultural societies. We believe it is
the one blot upon their management
that should be speedily obliterated.

The village of Montfort is pleasantly
situated about mile west of the juno
ton of the G. & N. w. and Galena r.
X. 1t is lively, prosperous. business
like place, and is taking rapid strides
towards becoming one of the leading
towns in Grant county. Its central loca-
ton makes it fine business point for
farmers and traders. Building is being
carried on with great skill and perfec-
ton. There has been some TWENTY-FIVE
or three new buildings erected in the
village during the summer and fall.
MIR. johnson, Chairman of the town
board, is erecting fine house in the
western part of the village, which when
completed will be one of the finest resi-
dences in town. Mr.. Eastman is also
building a similar residence in the
western part of the village. Mr.. Lin
coin, the long experienced wagon-maker
is now comfortably situated in his new
house near the school building. Mr..
Lane. the photographer, formerly of
Hazel Green, is about to move into his
new building on Fountain street.
Mr.. P. Y. Stevens the genial Montfort
banker, is building up permanent and
profitable business in the way of taking
collections. issuing drafts, cashing
checks, and transacting other business
in general.
Mr.. Wall, the enterprising druggist
and bookseller, is always ready to wait
on his customers and distribute news to
the many readers.
The Montfort graded school, which
commenced September 18th, is prosper
ing nicely. The attendance is very
large. being sixty in the upper and
seventy-two in the lower department.
The increase of attendance necessitates
the employment of another teacher,
which we expect to have in few DAYS.
Montfort is in need of greater and bet
ter facilities for giving its young men
and women thorough education,
which is the only sure road to success,
prosperity, and influence. Its pleasant
location, rich surrounding country,
wealthy and influential citizens, can
well afford to support as good school
as there is in the country, and we hope
to see at no distant time such school
in progress in this lively and growing
village.
