Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1884-07-03

by the hour Tuesday to witness the
moving of the mammoth City Bank
safe into the building to be occupied
by the National Banking Co., one
could reasonably suppose they were
worshipping it because it was a
money.holder or millionaire.
Mr.. w. }. ARTHUR, one of the
members of the Dodgeville Athletic
Club, will perform the daring feat
of walking a rope stretched across
the street from the Court House to
the Star Office building during the
great celebration on the Fourth.
The Dodgeville Star justly says
that this will be the season for test
ing the merits of binders, reapers,
and mowers, as at present the in
dications are that all grains and
grass will be remarkably heavy and
in many instances likely to be lodged.
ALrHoUGH Mineral Point will not
display any public demonstrations
on the 4th, we hear of several lawn
or family picnics to take place,
which we doubt not will provide

celebrations.
Coon buggies are cheap now, and
Bohan & Sims can prove it to you
very quickly if you will call on
them. They keep nice and conven.
lent conyeyances, just what farmers
should have, as well as the most at

remarkably cheap.

JOHN FRlrz, of Galena, large
manufacturer in sash, doors, blinds
and all the latest and most approved
materials used in building, has plac-
ed conspicuous advertisement in
the TRIBUNE columns. He has had
much experience in the business,
and from gentleman of this city
who has dealt largely with Mr..
Fritz for some years, we learn that
he is positively reliable and pleasant
to deal with. Read carefully the
advertisement. He is determined
to make it an object of saving to
all who patronize him.
THE Chronicle says that John NJ.
Dale is building a commodious din
ing hall in connection with his res
taurant for the accommodation of
guests on the fourth of July. He
will be prepared to feed a large
number, and those who patronize
him can depend on getting good,

at a moderate price. Ice cream,
strawberries and all the delicacies

the day and evening, Glad to hear
this, and hope that everyone who
goes out to the county seat to cele-

thing to eat.
THE London Standard says; "The
doctors have made life almost not
worth living with their precautions
against its being permanently cut
short. The air is laden with germs,
the earth exudes poison, the sixpen-
