Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1884-05-22

II is with pleasure we note the en-
terprise of Chas. Hornung, of the
popular city bakery, who has lately
added to his soda fountain a new
generator and other fixtures, at
cost of 5000 or more.
THE managers of the Milwaukee
Dime Museum, unable to induce
Bismarck to come over, have secur-
ed for exhibition an American hog
seven feet in length and nearly
ton in weight.
THE Prairie du Chen Courier
says l 5 year old son of Mr. Green
more exhibits a remarkable growth.
He already weighs a quarter of a
ton, and is increasing in avoirdupois
with astonishing rapidity.
PORTAGE can boast of a brass
band composed of boys from 10 to
l6 years of age. There are nine of
them and the music is estimated by
competent judges to be as good as
any ordinary country band.
The season for showing off a
young mans ears has arrived. The
young man buys little dollar straw
hat and sets it on top of his head
after having his hair cut or clipped.
The ears stand out in bold relief
like a windmill.
THE Montfort Honitor strikes the
tune of 1901 and sings: "The air is
filed with balmy fragrance and the
music of the birds. But he who
lives in city elegance cannot under
stand these words. Original, All
me-"
AMONG the improvements notice
able this week is the addition of a
small wing on the back and an at
tractive porch in front to the resi-
dence of our old and respected cit
izen Mr.. Amberg, the pioneer cutter
and tailor.
NEXT Sabbath, the last in May, is
denominated "Memorial Sunday" :"
and all Grand Army Posts attend
church in body, and listen to SER
mons suitable for the occasion. The
Post in this city will attend the
Methodist Episcopal church next
Sunday a. m. at usual hour.
VEGETATION is coming on very
rapidly in this city and section; the
trees, particularly the naples, have
unfolded their leaves so fast that to-
day Mineral Point is at her best
one of the prettiest and most roman
tic towns in all Badgerdom.
AvocA has recently been the seat
of not very serious riot over a
party forcibly taking his cattle from
the stock yards where they were be-
ing held for damages incurred by
their persistent feasting in neigh
boris field. The difficulty was set
tied by all hands getting drunk and
having a free fight.
WE regret having failed to men
ton last week that Chas. Hornung
was called to Galena on the 10th
inst, to attend the funeral of a be-
loved sitter. She was a young lady
about 10 years of age, and possessed
in an eminent degree all those quail
lties which adorn true christian
womanhood, making her general
favorite among her associates.
ARRANGEMENTs have been made
by which all who wish to attend the
army reunion to be held at Darling
ton, June 18th and 18th, 1884, can
obtain trip tickets from Mineral
Point at one and a fifth fare-which
will be soc. George II, Legate Post,
of Mineral Point, have voted to at
tend in a body and invite all their
friends to go with them. The train
will leave at $50 a. m, on the ] ] and
18th, and return at $3.50 p. m. each
day.
"We're going fishing next Sun
Saturday, and want some frogs for
bait" said a young counselor the
othe other day, "and l will give you
nickel apiece forall you will bring
me-" "All right" said the kid ad-
