The party given by the Athletic
Club, in the opera house in this city,
on Monday night, was very enjoy
able affair. There were sixty-eight
couples present to join in the dance,
which was kept up with unremitting
pleasure until an early hour IN the

Broadhead Independent: w. A.
Jones, Esq, was elected Mayor of
the city of Mineral Point at the re-
cent election. He is a man who will
honor any office to which he may
be called, and he will doubtless
prove as efficient in his present posi-
ton as he was when Superintendent
Of Schools of Iowa county. We
heartily congratulate him, but we
congratulate the people still more.
Owing to the surprise caused by
the suspension of Henry's Bank on
Saturday morning, a heavy run was
made by depositors on the City Bank,
and although it was wholly IN
looked for payments were promptly
met in all cases. The bank stood
up remarkably well under the shock,
quickly allaying all fears of failure
and giving perfect confidence to de
positors
The neatest store room in this sec
ton of the state is that fitted up by
Adolph Appel for Cook q Sullivan,

up large stock of clocks, watches,
jewelry, etc. A new hard wood floor
has been put in and the interior
of the room decorated in the most
artistic manner by Frank Weiden-
Teller. The date for opening the
store has been fixed for May 1st,
when a very full and fine stock of
goods will be displayed. Store next
door west of Appel's barber shop.

Darlington Republican: The first
teachers institute held under County

city on Monday, and has been con-
Quoted by Prof A. J. Hutton, of
The institute is the lar
gest ever held in the county, there
being 115 enrolled, and much inter
est has been manifested by those in
This is as it should
be, and shows that Mr.. Martin is
arousing, among the teachers Of
the county, the kind of interest that
is necessary to make our schools
successful.
Prairie du Chen Courier: We
have conversed with q number Of
farmers lately on the prospects of a
good wheat crop, and the condition
of the wheat at the present time
Every farmer who has been inter
viewed has expressed an opinion that
the wheat crop, this year, will far
exceed the crop of any previous
years, if the weather from now on
remains favorable. The wheat now
looks healthy and is coming up
thick. This is a good sign. They
say that, owing to partial failure
of wheat last year there was more
wheat sown last year in this county
than any previous years in recollec-
ton.
The social event of the week in
this city was the reception at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Alex. Wilson,
the occasion being the celebration
Of the twenty-ffth anniversary Of
their marriage. A large party of in
vited friends were present to extend
and join i'll the
social pleasures of the evening.
The affair was brilliant one. The
rooms were festooned with vines and
evergreens, and in mid air hung the
dates "1S59-1SS4, , IN silver letter
ing. The utmost hospitality was
extended to the guests. Delightful
music was furnished and the
pleasures of the dance enjoyed.
Refreshments were served about II
o'clock and at midnight the COM
pany dispersed.
The Rock Branch road, southeast
of this city, is in very bad condition,
and farmers and others coming here
from that direction are greatly in
convenienced thereby. Some steps
ought to be at once taken to put the
road in good repair. The cost of the
needed Improvements would not be
great, as there are no large bridges
to build. We hope all who are in
terested will look into the matter
and lend all the aid and encourage
ment possible to any efforts that
may be put forth to improve the
road referred to. The citizens of
