other day.
THE Democrats have called for a
convention to nominate candidate
for County Judge, but for a. that we
believe that majority of the voters
in the county are content to let well
enough alone.
MARRIED, Feb. l6, 1885, at the
residence of the BRIDES parents, by
Rev. p. Allen, Sr., Mr.. Ellsworth
Pilling, of Willow Springs, and
Miss Malvina A G. Harris, of the
town of Mineral Point.
The remainder of this week and
next is the time limited the tax-pay-
ers, and it is the desire of the city
treasurer that all who have not yet
paid their taxes will be prompt, thus
saving much trouble all around.
The announcement was made by
the manager of the roller rink on
Monday evening, that the cornet
band would be in attendance on
Wednesday evening of next week.
Go, everybody, and enjoy the sport.
TT is remarkable how free our city
is from brawls and fights. About
the nearest to fight we have had
for long time, was when two fell
lows stood with a hundred yards be-
tween them shaking their fists at
each other.
THE dress carnival at the rink
Monday evening struck such a cold
wave that it failed to materialize as
it probably otherwise would. The
same has been postponed till nigh
into the time "when the robbins
nest again"
THE Dairyman says that it is sim
ply annoying to notice how much
more milk one man can get from a
herd of cows than another. Good
mixers, it thinks, are born, not
made; and when you get one you
had better keep him.
As LONG ago as 1S47 the town Of
Platteville voted 254 to 1913 against
granting liquor licenses, and Hazel
Green voted 12l to the same way.
As pointers these would not suggest
that the anti-license sentiment has
grown rapidly Teller
IT is remarked that "yellow corn
generally brings one or two cents
more per bushel than flint corn.
Yet the latter is equally good, and
for feeding horses is probably better
as it does not contain quite so large
a portion of oil. The chief use of
corn, however, is for fattening, and
for this the preference is for yellow
varieties
By all means attend the dramatic
al entertainment to be given by
home talent next Wednesday even
ing. "Lost in London" is the title
of the play, and as the proceeds are
for he benefit of the @. A. r. post,
of this city, you will at least show
an appreciation Of the services of
the boys in blue by attending.
FoR the Inauguration at Washing
ton, the c., NJ. 81 St. p. r. r. will
sell round trip tickets for $26.65
from this city. These tickets will
be good for going passage on Feb.
90, 27 and % and March /, and 8,
and will be good for return on any
train leaving Washington on or be
fore March 10. The final limit for
return trip will be March 12.
"FoRwARD, March !" These two
words should be in the mind Of the
entire community on next Wednes-
day evening. Turn out, ye friends
of the cause for which your relatives
gallantly marched forward to win;
let none be missing when the cur
tain rises in the first act, who are 10
sympathy with the Grand Army
boys. Put your hands deep down
into you pockets and subscribe as
literally as you did in days gone by.
The death of Benson Spensley,
which occurred at Shullsburg on the
9th inst, should have appeared in
these columns last week, but as we
did not learn of it till after going
to press, it is all we can offer as an
