satisfaction.

ty Agricultural society, to be held at

The Milwaukee Daily Journal
says: Reports from interior and
western sections of the country go
to show that while there no boom to
characterize spring business, trade is
far from being dull. Country mer-
chants have for some time past been
buying carefully, and have sold up
close, so that collections are compar-
ativcly easy, and although goods are
not changing hands on as large
scale as has characterized former
years, business is a safer basis and a
better feeling prevails.
The Mineral Point Zinc com
pany was compelled to suspend
operations on last Monday on
account of the excessive heat of the
day. The company has experienced
considerable difficulty for some time
past with the bag room, owing to
the limited amount of cooling sur
face. We are informed that the
company has been making arrange
ments for some time to construct an
additional cooling tower. 1t will
probably take thirty days to COM
plete this structure, and when COM
pletcd the works will be started up
again, and it is expected that the
daily capacity of the works will be
considerably increased and the quail
ity of the oxide improved in conse-
quence of the additional cooling sur
face.
The Milwaukee Evening Wiscon-
reports that Richland county far
mer named Josiah Remington, was
conGdenced out of forty dollars by
two strangers, while on his way to
Union depot in that city, on Friday
of last week. After winning his
confidence, the sharpers induced
him to lend the money to enable
them to pay the express charges on
goods at the express office. They
into the office to pay the
bill and the farmer is still waiting
for their return.
From the cheap rates and hatter-
ing local notices given by the Trib-
une of this city to foreign advertis-
ers, The Democrat is led to believe
that it has changed its motto from
CLONE First, the World Afterwards"
to "The World First, Home After
wards The Democrat believes in sell
ling its advertising space to all alike,
and of advising its readers to care
fully investigate the claims of our
home merchants before going else
where for better goods or prices.
We are never moro delighted than
when our advertising columns are
filled with good home advertise
ments, as it speaks volumes for the
enterprise of our people, as well as
for the standing of the paper in
which the advertisements are pub
lished.
