Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1884-09-11


into the voter the conclusion that
1t is good policy to let well enough
alone.
MARRIED, in this city Sunday even
ing, by Rev. J. n. Elliott, Mr.. Geo.
Elliott and Miss Mary Wilkinson;
all of Mineral Point. Here's our.-95-
and well wishes for prosperous and
happy life.
The large display of poultry at
the fair by Mr.. w. b. Harris, who
resides near the county farm, is one
for special consideration and praise.
He exhibited no less than eight or
ten varieties.
EVERY reader of the TRIBUNE,
German readers in particular, will
find in to-day's paper an interesting
letter on the river Rhine from the
spicy pen of Fred B. Robinson, who
is in Germany studying medicine.
WHEN one looks back and medi-
tates over the great crowd and gene
raj rush among pedestrians and
teams during the fair, he is liable to
exclaim with wonder at the fact that
there were no accidents, or not even
runaway.
A SUFFICIENT number of Green
hackers still exist in Richland coun-
ty to call county convention, which
will be held on the Goth instant.
There will also be be a senatorial
convention of the same party held at
Dodgeville on the oath.
a SLEEPING car belonging to the
Anglo.American circus, which exhi-
bited here in July was set on fire by
the explosion of gasoline, and was
burned up near Greeley, Colorado,
one night recently. OF seventy
five circus employees in the car ten
were burned to death, and many
others badly injured.
GoLLY, hasn't the weather been
hotly tempered the past week?
Every person seems to bear it with
a degree of pleasure, however, as
it is the making of one of the best
corn crops Wisconsin ever chronicl-
ed. And with a large yield of this
crop, you know, the prosperity of
the country will be set squarely on
its feet.
LEWIS CHAMBERLAIN, of Darling
ton, who is over seventy-three years
old, walked from that city to this
village, distance of twelve miles,
in three hours one day last week,
to see his son II. b., the artist here.
The old gentleman thinks nothing
of a jaunt of that kind, yet we know
a young man who considers it a
hardship to "hoof it, mile into the
country to see his girl on Sunday
evening. There is as much differ

Is it not convincing proof that ed
ucation pays? 1t not only pays the
individual but the state, for pauper
has to be supported by the state.
Ignorance therefore is costly. No
parent should deny his children the
privileges given him by liberal ed

pay you hundred fold, and will be
a source of profit and pleasure to the

ALTHOUGH the quantity of horses
here to compete in the races at the
fair last week was barely up to the
average, the quality and merit was
decidedly better than former years.
All contests, both running and trot-
ting, were hotly contended for, and
faster time than ever before announc-
