Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1885-10-08

If q Pluto maiden does not like her
lover she tells her grandmother, and
when the young man comes again at
night that good Old lady rises from her
bed, takes handful of hot ashes from
the fire ana throws them in his face.
That's the mitten. If he persists in his
attentions and continues to come again
and again the whole family unite in
heaping indignities upon him, but the
girl is never a party to this. Her broth
ers and sisters and father and mother
throw ashes upon him, douse him with
water, tlagellato him with stout switch
cs, and drive him from the lodge.
Sometimes an Indian persists in spite
OF such assaults, and goes again and
again to the tent where the girl is
sleeping. Sometimes this perseverance
wins her heart, but not often. Ii the
girl likes him and is willing to marry
him, then She tells her grandmother,
who informs the girls father.

OBITUARY.

His many warm friends will hear
with grief of the death of VIM. r. Ca
hoon, Sr. Whilst the deceased was
about ~ years of age, he was hale and
hearty and gave every indication OF
living several years. He was in Dover
last Saturday morning delivering veg
etables to his customers, and appeared
to be in the best of spirits, laughing
and talking with every one who came
to his wagon. He at times, however,
suffered considerably with rheuma-
tisn and Saturday afternoon, while
at tile camp near Pearson's Corner,
complained of severe pains in his
limbs. He preached at night at the
camp, after which he went to bed and
early Sunday morning died. His
death will be greatly felt. He was
a local preacher in the Methodist
Church, and his sermons were always
interesting and Instructive. He had
taken an active part in county politics
and was once the Republican nomi-
nee for sheriff. He WAS a strong pro-
hibition advocate and figured quite
conspicuously in the prohibition con-
vention two years ago. He was also
prominent member of the Order Of
Patrons of Husbandry, and has Occu
pied high positions in the STATE
! Grange. At the time of his DEATH hi
was lecturer of the District Grange
where he will be greatly missed. HI
leaves behind him several grown son
and daughters and large concours
Of friends 10 mourn his deceaso.
Milford chronicle., 1885-08-14

for Grant, he was good man, no pro
fame or immoral word ever passed his
lips, he houored God, aud in giving
him success God honored BIN. The
great responsibilities of his position
we're not too heavy for him, for he did
his best and left the rest with God.
But his noble character would not
stay the approach of death. Sad as it
was to see him tread the path to the
grave it was also grand. death could
take his body but it could not touch
his soul, his consideration for others
and his Christian resignation in the
hours of suffering were lessons to us
all He was hero in the nOblest sense
of the word.
Mr. Lohand rendered the thanks Of
the G. A. r. 10 Mr.. Bunstein and
closed the meeting.

IN its last weeks issue the "News

seer of the Tub Mill road az overhaul
ing. The News" says that the road
has been ruined by blowing up the
sand i'm the bitches OIL either side, and
dragging it into the middle ofthe road
with a scraper. The trouble with all
of our road overseer's work is, that
they do not pillow down deep enough to
get the hard gravel up on top of the

road can be made as hard as floor by
blowing deep and getting the clay anc
