A LONG ENTHUSIASTICALLY one hun
dred days of continuous sleighing,' re-
marked an old gentleman, the other
day, as party were talking about The
excellent run of good teaming this
country had experienced. With this
number of days there has been but very
few when the farmer or the teamster
could not do his work. So far as Sleigh
ing is concerned, the winter has been
most favorable. To those who laid in
their supply of coal for the winter, the
weather has been rather too continuous,
and many are now engaged in scraping
the bottom of their coal bins. Dealers
in coal, who thought they had an
abundant supply on hand, have been
compelled to make additional orders to
meet the wants of their customers. In
fact, the winter has been long one and
apparently the end is not yet.

Prize Contest.

The prize recitation and defamation
contest at the school hall last Friday
evening, was the means of drawing to-
gether large and intelligent audience,
which comfortably filled the spacious
school hall. The contest was given by
the Philomathean Society, and its presi-
dent, Miss Ellen Woolstenholme, pre-
sided during the evening with rare Dig
nifty and grace. Messrs. w. B. Baxter,
W. N. Stone, and r. G. Orr and Mrs.
w. Barlow and Mrs. Altizer constituted
the board of judges to award the two
prizes offered by the society, which
were $500 and $500 cash. The follow
ing is the programme of the evening:

of Edinboro Town"

Aram."

Martyr"

The judges, after the recitations, with
drew into an ante-room. where score
sheets were compared and the first prize
of $500 was awarded to Miss Maud
Garvey, and the second one of $500 to
Miss Hattie Hyde.
All of the contestants acquitted them
selves admirably well, showing patient
and painstaking practice in rehearsal.
Although but two could receive prizes,
the efforts of the others were alike
worthy of the highest commentator
and praise. The singing was pleasant
feature of the entertainment and was
heartily appreciated by the audience.
This is the second entertainment of this
class which has been held within q year,
and those who were fortunate enough
to be present on either occasion, will
unite with us in sincerely wishing that
they may be repeated oftener in the flu
ture, as these occasional elocutionary
drills are productive of great benefit to
all, stimulating the scholars to increased
and better effort, and more Thoroughly
enlisting the attention and cooperation
of the public in the educational work
of our city.

find that was brought to light there about
three weeks ago. Eagle is the birth

prietor of the famous Crawford county
tight barrel cooperage establishment.
Naturally Billy as he is called by
his brothers and sisters, is proud of his
birthplace and has given the name of
Golconda to his native home. Billy
would sell all of his interest in the stave
business at good price and go to Eagle
and invest his surplus revenue (what he
has outside of government bonds)in the
wells in and about the locality where
that diamond was discovered, only for
the fact, he says, the diamond found is
the identical one he lost from his shirt
front seventeen years ago.

hardly be overestimated. Thought and
language are ever acting and reacting
upon each other. To understand their
proper relation is a necessity, if one
would guard against errors in thinking
as well as in speaking. No other Ian

WORST OF THE SEASON. THE block
ade of the railroad trains on the Chicago
and Northwestern railway, between
Lancaster, Montfort and Galena, on
Monday and Tuesday was the worst of
the season. On Sunday morning the
Galena train left this city about $50,
and had not returned up to the time of
going to press, 2 p. m. Wednesday.
Monday morning it left Galena, but en-
countered heavy drifts all the way from
Platteville to Livingston. and between
the latter place and Montfort it remained
in the drifts until Tuesday afternoon,
when it was relieved by two engines
from Montfort, where it was taken, the
engine fired up and the train returned
for Galena. The Milwaukee train, leav-
ing Lancaster at $50 Monday morning,
got through to Fennimore, and within
mile and a half of Preston Station,
where it remained in the snow until
Tuesday afternoon, when the snow
pillow and flanger got the train out and
it proceeded to Montfort, making the
return trip to Lancaster on Tuesday
evening. Not only was the railroad
blockaded, but the county roads were
especially troublesome; that leading
from this city to Fennimore, by way of
Sitter. being impossible for a great
part of the way. Railroad men say that
the winter has been unusually severe
along this line, but the present week of
snow banks has given them more trouble
than anything before this winter
THE PLATTEvILLE BANK. MIR. Geo.
A. Laughton, son-in-law of Mr.. n. H.
Virgin, writes letter explanatory of
the deed of property given by Virgin to
his daughter some two years ago, and
which deed was not placed on record
until the day the Platteyille Bank closed
its doors. He says that his wife sex
pressed desire to own the old mill
property intact. | made a proposition
to Mr.. Virgin to purchase it of him,
which he took into consideration, and
finally consented to dispose of it, at my
price, and thereupon decided the prop
erty to my wife, and we paid for it in
good, hard-earned cash, and have ever
since been adding improvements to the
property. The property was bought by
US in perfectly good faith, and for what
we at that time considered a good con-
sideration." This deed of the mill prop
erty by Virgin to his daughter, it had
been charged, was made to save the
property from being swallowed up by
the Platteville Bank, one of whose heav-
lest debtors Mr.. Virgin was, and this
explanation is made by Mr.. Laughton
SO that the public may know the status
of the transaction.
