A correspondent of the Montfort
Monitor says: last week the Fen
nimore creamery shipped a carload
of butter to the New York market.
What would the people of New
York nave thought. forty years ago,
if told that in 1886 one little town
in Wisconsin would ship butter by
the car-load?"
George Reed, of West Earl town
ship, Lancaster county, Pa, testihes
10 the cure of a poor widow named
Nancy Sharp, living in his neigh
borhood. She was a great sufferer
from rheumatism, unable to work
and in destitute circumstances. Mr..
Reed hearing of the case, procured
a bottle of Mishler's Herb Bitters,
and the women was speedily re-
stored. She is now able to work,
and is entirely well.
The editor of the Platteville Wit
ness. who recently returned from a
trip to Dakota, says: "The crops in
the vicinity of Plankinton, notwith-
standing there is a general COM
plant Of drouth, look very well. A
comparatively small portion of the
land is in cultivation, but as far as
we were able to judge from what we
saw of the growing crops, southern
Dakota was equal to any portion of
the territory. Many former resi-
dents of this section live near Plan
kinton.
The busin S. men of GAINESVILLE
talk of building a storehouse for
tobacco that will afford room for
$4,000 cases. The buildings is to
be fre-proof and used solely for
storing purposes; the company is to
issue warehouse receipts for all
goods stored, and keep the goods
insured at nominal rate, to receive
goods from any one in lots of not
less than twenty-five cases, and
charge simply the usual rates for
storage.
Saturday last was chiliren's day
at the Monona Lake Assembly. In

This is the way in which E. D.
Coe, chief clerk of the Wisconsin
assembly of 1885, in his paper The
Whitewater Register, speaks of the
fairs of the S. w. Wis. |. A.: One
of the very best and most successful
Industrial Expositions in the state
is the Southwest Wisconsin Fair,
which is held at Mineral Point,
Iowa county. 1t has not heretofore
received due attention from this
section for it is always very largely
attended and affords a fine oppor-
tunity for the exhibition of the
stock and manufactured products in
which this part of the state abounds.
The fair corresponds well with the
Oshkosh or Racine fairs and we rec
ommend that it receive more atten-
ton hereafter. Its dates for this
year are September LIST, "a, 3D., and
4th. For documents write to Hon.
G. G. Cox, President, or d. p. Beech,

The many friends of Rev. Thos.

to learn of his severe injury on
Tuesday last. Mr.. Jarvis on the
evening of the day named, and at
the time the storm of that day was

office to his home. Just as he came
to where his sons lumber yard is, the

the place where Mr.. Jarvis was.
Several of the boards struck him on
the back and side; the end or corner
of one of the boards struck him in
the back and broke one Of his ribs
and fractured two or three more.
His injuries are very painful but
the physician in attendance does
not consider them dangerous. Mr..
Jarvis was for some time trying to
make his way home in his disabled

aud cared for. 1T present he lies in
bed unable to move except with
assistance July 81.
