SUNFLowERs flourish this year as
well as other plants. A stock at
tracted our attention the other day
by being heavily laden with flowers
and upon counting them found it
had forty. Is nature encouragin G
the freaks cf fasdion?
II is announced by the press that
a Dakota lawyer ate twelve pounds
of grapes at one sitting the other
day, and then begged for basket
Of pears. Hope it is neither of the
young lawyers Mineral Point has
furnished that territory.
SHOULD you want neat new bug
gy call on Bohan 81 Sims who are
selling the same at cost. They have
some good secondhand buggies, too,
which will be sold so reasonable as
to prove a great bargain to the pur-
chaser. 34w2.

OURS, like all first class fairs,
draws "hard cases" as we'll as re-
spectacle people. Already we hear
of them prowling around begging
for a meal, etc. 1t is hoped that no
citizen will encourage such a worth
less set. BE prepared to meet them
without fear or hesitation in refusing
to comply with their demands.
WE read of a valuable bean in a
Prairie du Chen paper in this way:
"On Sunday last, child was
brought from Wauzeka suffering in-
tense pain caused by bean being in
its ear, pressing tightly on the ear
drum. A physician here succeeded
by skillful surgical operation in
procuring the bean without marring
or producing any disfguration of
the natural shape of it. That bean
is worth So"
Gov. RUsK was an Ohio farmers
son, who was not afraid to work,
and no one of his age can excel
him at any kind of farm work to-day
in quantity and quality. Two years
ago, when on the "Villard" North
ern Pacific Excursion, while the
train stood in one Of those great
Dakota wheat farms, he took off his
coat and silk hat and stepping to
the feeders platform astonished the
European magnates by his skill in
fe eding a thrashing machine.
BLESSED is the man who knows
enough to keep his mouth shut.
Some people live sixty years without
learning the art. Indeed the older
they grow the wider their mouths
open. A man or woman who is a
gabber at forty-fve is dreadful in
Fiction to house, or church, or
community. There are two things
this age wants to learn-when to say
nothing, and when TO say anything
to say it well. "If any among you
seems to be religious, and bridleth
not his own tongue, this mans re-
ligion is in vain"
