AN addition of two races has been
made to the sporting department of
the coming fair in this city. See
published programme elsewhere.
LITTLE Alfred, son of Jas. Wallis,
of this city, fell while swinging from
the limb of tree yesterday and
broke both bones of an arm.
JUST think of it! Only two weeks
from the date Of this paper and the
great Mineral Point fair will be at
its best. Let no one stay away.
JIM O'IIERN noted and liberal
horse buyer, will be at Mark Terrill's
hotel on the first of September, and
remain for week. See announce
ment elsewhere.
THE piano tuner, A. ii. Hodsdon,
will be in Mineral Point about the
25th inst. Orders can be left with
Prof. S. T. Osborne or at Hanscom's
book store.
NEXT Tuesday, the 26th inst, the
p. M. society at Laxey, will hold its
annual picnic. These picnics are
highly enjoyable, and should be at
tended by every one who can possi-
bly, get away.
THE Western Farmer, in referring
to tie fair of the S. w. Wis. I. 4.
says, that some extra attractions will
this year be introduced and the in
dications are that this fair will be
the best ever held.
AT the p. NJ. church, Rev. Wm.
Jacka, Sr. will preach in the morn
ing. In the evening Rev. d. Daw-
sons topic will be, "The two-fold
revelation of God to man, in His
works and word.
THERE is every indication that
the racing contests at the coming
fair will be many and hotly con-
tested, estimating from the numer-
GUS inquiries coming in to the secre-
tray from all directions.
PEANUTS hot are certainly relished
more than in any other way, and be-
sides they are sure of being fresh.
Well, you can have them that way,
as John Dave has a boss little
roaster, and keeps it steamed up at
all times.
THE Ferrin property, situated near
j. A. Spratler's residence, has been
purchased by the senior editor of
the tribune, and is being consid-
erably improved upon, which when
completed will be occupied by him
Say in about two weeks.
WE have been negligent of our
duty in not referring ere this to the
attractive and expensive signs re-
Gently erected by the BARRIERS, Winn
Bros. and Staum d Terrill. They
add to the appearance Of surround
ings and are monuments of enter
prise.
OWING to the quite hot and ia
vorable corn weather the past two
weeks a grin is visible on the phiz
of every husbandman that almost
extends from ear to ear. Porkers
seem to have an inkling of the feast
ahead, as they too are taking up the
grunt of satisfaction.
WE viewed ourself, and Satan
also, in the largest and handsomest
mirror the other day that was ever
brought in this section of the west.

dimentions are 7x95 feet The

material Only see it!

the occasion Of a small attendance,
