county, this state.-Boscobel Dial.

A. Jones has been elected cashier,

waukee have made arrangements to
establish lumber yard in this city
city ;and will ship about twenty
car loads of lumber here this
week. The Office of the company

have charge of it.
"How to teach temperance in the
Sunday school, was earnestly de-
bated in the M. E. Sunday school
convention recently held in Dodge
vile, and the discussion resulted in
the adoption Of resolutions to de-
vote one Sunday in three months
exclusively to teaching temperance,
and to organize the schools in the
district into temperance societies.
The larger portion of the corn
planted is already coming up.
There is little or no complaint of
poor seed or the corn rotting in the
ground. Farmers pro6ting by their
sad experience year ago saved
good seed last fall and will be amply
repaid in the increased crop. 1t
always pays to sow good seed

We should have said in our last
issue that it was the executors of the
Morrison estate that had his monu-
ment erected, and not the trustees.
The executors are Isaac Comfort,
Fred Shaffer and James Hicks, all
of whom ere to be congratulated
for marking the last resting place of
the old pioneer with lasting and
beautiful memorial.-Linden Cor.
Chronicle.
The Rochester Silk Co., whose adj
vertisement under the heading Of
Cray Patchwork" was inserted
in The Democrat and many other
newspapers in this section, without
due investigation of the reliability
of the concern, turns out to be a
first-class fraud, and is denounced
as such by The Agents Herald. Our
readers will do well to have nothing
to do with it.
Darlington will have her latch
string out during the reunion and
nearly every family in the city is
preparing to accommodate from two
to six guests. Our citizens feel as
though the town will be weighed in
the balance and they do not want
her to be found wanting Our
visitors can rest assured that every
thing that can will be done to
make them OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES

One of the most interesting ex-
ercises we have witnessed for long
time, was an infant class drill given
by Mrs. J. Bennett of Mineral Point,
as part of the Sunday School
convention exercises. 1t is wonderful
what intensity of thought and inter
est can be awakened in little children
when their tender minds are brought
in harmony and sympathy with one
who earnestly devotes herself to their
edifcation and instruction.-Dod
vile Star.
The Wisconsin Tobacco Reporter
gives the following information re-
lating to tobacco plants: Plant
beds are coming up finely. Many
beds show plants the size of silver
dollar, and there is an abundance of
them. Plants promise to be plenty
forward enough and in some cases
too early, as they will require setting
June 5. Growers are busy prepar-
ing ground, and it is work that
ought not to be sighted in any
particular.
Secretary Wright has mailed the
premium list pamphlets for the COM
ing fair Of the S. w. Wis. Indus
trial Association. The number of
copies issued is larger than ever
before. Beside the large and lib
eral list of premiums the pamphlet
contains many advertisements of
live business men. There is one
mistake in the sporting department.
Race number six, for a purse of
four hundred dollars ought to read
mile heats instead of halt mile
heats as printed.
"My wife suffered from Rheuma-
tism for months. She tried number
of medicines but received little or
no benefit. She commenced taking
ATLoPHoRos three days ago, and |
can safely say she has already re-
ceived more benefit from it than
all the medicines she had taken
before" J. Stephens, Hazel Green,
Grant Co., Wis. The universal YER
dict as to ATIILoPHoRos is that it
cures where other remedies fail.
What an amount of money might be
saved if suffers would go directly
for this recognized specific.
The lightning rod men are again
on the still hunt for victims. Every
year those sharpers get in their work
on the honest farmers, notwithstand-
ing they are thoroughly advertised
by every paper throughout the
country. The only correct way for
a farmer to do is not to purchase
anything of a stranger unless he
pays cash down for the article, and
then lac must be careful and not ign
his name to any paper presented, no
matter Of what nature. The name
of good farmer secured by one of
these sharpers is of more value to
him than any sales he can possibly
make.-Grant County Herald.
1t will be seen by a notice in
another column that the assignee of
the Platteville Bank is now paying
a dividend of six per cent on all
