V, Cornish rules. N Negotiations are

large poster for the fourteenth an
nual fair of the S. w. Wis. |. A.
1t was printed by "the Riverside
printing company of Milwaukee for
the Mineral Point Tribune" Con
sidering where it was printed it is q
very good Job of work, but of course
it don't compare with the excellent
colorcd printing usually turned out

such work has been reduced to a
fine art.

President Arthur, writing under
date of August 4th, acknow lodges
the receipt of an invitation from
Secretary Wright to attend the
coming fair of the 5. W. Wis. |. A.
on his return from the National Park.
The President expresses his thanks
/ for the cordial invitation extended,
but owing to the fact that it did not
reach him in time, other engage
ments will not permit him TO accept
The officers of the association would
be pleased to receive the President
rs their visitor and guest, and
greatly regret his inability to be
present. But no one should remain
away from the fair because we can
not have the President of the
United States and Cabinet with us
at that time There will be other
attractions, and the fair will without
doubt be one of the grandest in
dustrial exhibits ever seen in the
| northwest.
The editor of the Shullsburg Free
Press thinks that all newspaper men
should adopt the rule of publishing
the names of those who attempt to
swindle them either on advertising
or subscription We intend to
| look carefully over our books some
| of these days and if we find the
names of any of the above class, we
will give them to the public through
the columns of The Democrat al
on early date. We have made it q
rule never to publish n dunning
notice to our patrons, believing that
nothing gives stronger evidence Of

than the frequent appearance Of
such notices in its columns, We
have endeavored to give our readers
a good newspaper and they have
become in the main prompt pay
ing. We do not propose to make
prompt paying patrons pay for losses
sustained by those who do not pay
and hereafter we intend to make
it red hot for those who can but dc
not pay what they owe us. We
have few old, long standing &C.
counts against parties to whom we
have repeatedly sent bills, and these
we will advertise for sale to the
highest bidder for cash, unless they
