At Ones Wits End.

From early childhood until Old
age is succeeded by the grave one
is often at ones wits end to know
what to do under a given set of cir
cumstances, and those circumstances
are invariably puzzling. The whin-
ing schoolboy with his satchel and
shining morning face, creeping like
snail unwillingly to school, is at his
wits end to know how to master his
lesson. The youth is at his wits
end to know what business or avo-
cation to follow. The lover is at his
wits end to know whether the lady
of his love returns his ardent attach
ment or not. The husband is often
at his wits end to know how he is
going to make both ends meet. The
father is constantly at his wits end
to know how to train up his children
in the way they should 60. The
wife and mother is often at her wits
end to know which is the best soap
to use for general household pur-
poses. Let her try N. K. Fairbank
& Co.'S famous Lakeside and
White Star" brands and she will
use no others and will never be at
her wits end on this point again.
These highly perfumed soaps are
especially adapted for the toilet, the
bath and the laundry, and are fol
sale at all groceries stores.

BLANCHARDVILLE.

1t has been too long since our lively
little burg has been heard from
through the neat and well printed
columns of The Democrat.
Engineer Baldwin and corps of
assistants are now surveying and
locating the Chicago, Freeport q
StPaul, r. r. through this place.
Those who claim to know say the
road is an assured fact.
Politics is booming and vast
amount of hand shaking and "set-
ting them up to the boys" is being
done. Some of them think it is a
pity that elections don't come round
oftener. The Democrats are united
and have received a few accessions
from the Republicans in this and
adjoining towns.
The Improvements on our new
school house are completed and it
is now as fine as can be found any
where in the country. Miss Nichols,

lily loaded team, and yet they claim
he does not come often enoughl

this fall and both of the large hotels

A Hearty Reception.

The reception given to Hon. Burr
w. Jones, on last Friday evening.
his first appearance in this city since
his election to congress, was hearty
and spontaneous. 1t is safe to say
that there was never before were
SO many voters in attendance at a
political meeting in this city. Mem
bers of the Cleveland and Hendricks
club of Darlington came on special
train one hundred strong; and also
a very large delegation from
Dodgeville. and hosts came in from
the surrounding country. The torch
light procession numbered over
three hundred torches, and present
ed a fine appearance. The worst
feature about the whole affair was
that the City Hall would only hold
a small portion of those who wished
to hear Mr.. Jones speak. Mr.. D. B.
Jones presided at the meeting and
in introducing the speaker made a
few pointed remarks. The speech
of Hon. Burr w. Jones more than
met the expectations of his admir-
ing friends, and carried conviction
to his hearers. The result at the
polls on election day will bear us
out in the assertion that he has the
confidence of men of all parties in
this vicinity.

HIGHLAND.

Messrs J. M. Smith and D. B.
Jones, of Mineral Point, deliv cred
democratic speeches here on the
Oath, to crowded house. They came
down to truth and solid facts, which
