THE cold nights and mornings of
late cause many to hump up their
backs and give expressions of dread
for approaching winter. They should
take consolation from the assurance
that every season has its advan-
tages.
JUST as we go to press we learn
of the death of j. 7. Pryor, Sr., of
Dodgeville, on Tuesday of this
week. Deceased was an old settler
in Iowa county, and prominent
man in business and social circles.
FOUNTAIN street is in a tough
condition. There's no country road
so disagreeable to ride over The
loads of loose rock should be scraped
together and hauled away, and then
a covering of fine gravel laid. Why
not do it this fall?
"WHY does the Englishman drop
the HIS off some of his words?" ask
ed Sparks of neighbor the other
day. $50 that he may tack 'em on
to other Words" was the reply; "that
is to say, if he puts an h on his eggs
he must take it off his ham,"
LOST, between this city and Lin
den on Saturday, red and black
plaid shawl, with yellowish stripe
running through it. The finder will
confer favor and be suitably re-
warded by leaving the same at this
office.
CLIFFoRD's dramatical troupe,
which held forth at the Opera House
five nights of last week, did not

Wherein was the cause we hardly

solicited by energetic men, and be-
fore snow flies we may expect to be
in connection with the above places.
On Saturday little five year old
son of Barney McMorough, residing
about five miles north of this city,
was accidently run over by a wagon
loaded with manure. The abdomen
is the part injured, and although the
little sufferer is alive at this writing,
Dir. Tallman, who was summoned,
tells us that its a miracle if he re-
covers.
TINS city and vicinity is well rep
resented at the state fair this week,
both by humanity and stock. Some
fifteen or twenty persons have gone,
and Mr.. John J. Ross has sent
three carloads from his fine Dur
ham herd, and his excellent running
horse, Mercury, and we feel conf
dent that he will carry off as many
blue ribbons as any one exhibitor
THE firm of f. w. Stratman &
Co, of Dodgeville, made large ex-
hibit Of carriages, buggies, wagons,
ETC., at the fair last week, and it was
the general opinion that it was the
I finest collection ever placed on show

/ All the vehicles were in keeping
with modern improvements, and
