ALTHOUGH we're not strictly per
sonally acquainted with them, we
consider the seven young men who
have been engaged here the past two
weeks putting up the telephone poles
and wires, as Jolly and good natured
a corps as ever rolled up sleeves to
work.

be Thursday, August 23d, the M. e..
Sunday School will picnic in Ross

te, next Wednesday and Thursday,

A HANDSOME sum has been raised

Mrs, Richardson, whose son lately
lost his life by being run over by
the cars. Ii was a reasonable move

UNDER the editorship of Major
| 5. S. lockwood, the Janesyille he
corder is fast moving to the front of
Wisconsin journals. Major r. is an
independent thinker and puts his
thoughts in graceful and strong
language. The acquisition of such
men to journalism eIeyates the pro
fession, and increases its power for
public good
Trus is the opinion of Capt
''Ferg" of the Lancaster HerQld,
who has the reputation Of being one
of the best job printers in the state:
owe are in receipt Of very neatly
executed invitation to the coming
Southwestern Wisconsin Fair, to be
held at Mineral Point The work
/ is from the Tribune office. and
shows much taste in selection and
execution"
The scarcity Of the common
house fly is quite noticeable this
season. Perhaps the New York
Times, is right, which says: "Therc
IS a parasite that attacks the brains
of house flies and drives them to
lunacy and death" What we want
now is a parasite that will paralyze
a mosquito Just as he is about to be
gin his phlebotomizing circus.
MARRIED, at the residence Of the
brides mother, in the town Of Min
eral Point, on Monday, Aug. 18th,
1888, by Rev. Chas. Irish, Mr..
James IL. Divine, M. D., and Miss
/ Sarah G. Bennett. SO Cousin "Sal"
has gone through the matrimonial
catechism, of "for better or for
worse" etc, and graduated Divine
ly. Although the doctor is a strang-
er in this community, the numerous
! friends of the bride have every as
surance that she has done well; all
hope so, at least. The next morn
ing the happy couple took the train
for Sioux Rapids, Iowa, where the
doctor has located for the purpose
of following his profession.
