Everybody is well pleased with the

John. Will some one tell us where and
when James has ever been defeated
for the presidency after having received
the nomination? And John has been
the next for luck.

Reet0Wn Notes.

1t has become necessary for me to
hear the pattering Of the rain, or the
roll of the thunder, to bel in the right
mood for writing notes. 1t is not rain
ing but the clouds are rolling up from
the northwest, and the rolling thunder
inspires me to write that, since last
wrote we have had our regular store

generation by reproducing the scenes
on small scale, of what so many of
us were going through twenty years
ago. May they never be called upon
to take part in any but sham battles,
is the sincere wish of every veteran; but
If called upon may they be found as
ready as we were then.

remembrance than the Royce Swiss

meet the favor of she audience. There
was no ostentatious display. II was an
exhibition of true merit. The ladies

CATLIN'S TOBACCO-It gives us
much pleasure to be able to state-and
''we know whereof we speak, = that
consumers can buy a really choice arti-
Gle of Fine Cut Chewing Tobacco from
Lancaster dealers. Ivey Il Webb, j.
A. Drew, Wenzel & Auchter, and Joe
Nathan, have laid in stock of Catlin's
golden THREAD" which we have
''tried our mettle'' on and can honestly
say is a rich fullbodied tasting chew
that does not go to peices in the mouth
aud from its durability will prove an
actually cheaper chew than lower priced
goods. The same dealers, and also
Messrs. Jno. Schreiner and c. j. HYDE,
have a stock of Catlins "MEERCHAUM''
Smoking Tobacco. s'Meerschaum' is
choice graduated goods made from old
North Carolina leaf 1t does not bite
the tongue, is Itch, pleasant smoke,
and is retailed at the very reasonable
price of ten cents quarter pound. Mr..
Heldcroft the agent of the company,
says that during nearly thirty years the
Catlin Tobacco Company and its i'm
mediate predecessor, Daniel Catlln, of
St. Louis, have never given alleged
gifts or prizes of any kind to force the
sale of their brands, but aim to place
the best article that can be made before
the consumer at the lowest possible
price, and trust solely to the merits of
it tor popularity. The Catlin Tobacco
Compa ny is the largest fine cut chew
ing and smoking establishment in the

Grant County Pomona Grange on Beer Drinking
and Gambling at the State Fair.
WHEREAS, The Wisconsin State Az
ricultural Society was established to
promote the advancement of agricul-
ture, horticulture, the mechanical and
household arts, as well as To maintain
and cherish those vast and vital inter-
ests upon which the prosperity of every
other calling is built-this society for
elevating and educating the farmer,
should set good example of temper
ance and morality, should seek for the
good of society, for upon such is built
the honor, nobility and worth of our
country. Therefore,
Resolred, That we, the members of
the Grant County Pomona Grange, are
panied to see that our State Agricultur-
al Society allows beer drinking and
gambling upon its grounds, which we
believe is direct violation of the laws
OF our State on Excise and Gambling.
That. it is n disgrace to the society and
ought to be suppressed, we believe is the
voice of large majority of farmers. as
well as all good citizens. And further,
Resoiced, As we have prohibited all
lntoxicants and gambling in our local
fair. and that unless the State Agricul-
tural Society shall do the same, they
will compel US to withdraw our support
from it.
The above resolutions were passed by
unanimous vote of the Grange, at a
meeting held in Bloomington, June 5.
