dry, Gray & Go. has very large
assortment; finest materials and
latest styles.
AT the regular meeting of the
common council Monday a petition
was granted for the construction of
a new sidewalk on the north side Of
Washington street, which is that
north of Alex Wilson's, running
east and west by JAS. Owens resi-
dence. See ordinance for instruc-
tions, etc.
OYERcoArs such as Gundry, Gray
q Co. sell are sure to prove the
best. They are made up at home,
of good, choice material. No ripping G
or bursting everything solid.
CIRCULARS have been distributed
throughout the business portion of
our city this week by a company"
without giving any names, stating
that they would like to establish a
daily paper in "this city En-
couragement is what was sought for
and whether it was realized has not
come to light. TO discourage
anything of the kind from our stand
point would not likely be regarded
as conclusive. 1t may prove sue
cessful. We are willing that trial
should test it.
The Ministerial Association of
Platteville District West Wis. Con,
NJ. E. church, will be held at Plat e.
Vile Tuesday and Wednesday, Nov.
10 and II. A sermon will be preach
ed Tuesday evening by Rev. Il. Pen
gilly, and on Wednesday evening by

THE Operetta "Red Riding Hood"
and "See Saw" will be given at
Opera Hall, Wednesday evening,
Nov. llth. Miss Amy Hutchison
and others have spared no pains in
making this affair as entertaining as
possible. 1t is hoped that this pop
ular entertainment will be well
patronized. Adults 25 cts, children
l5cts.
IN another colEmn is communi-
cation advocating the establishing of
tobacco warehouse in Mineral
Point. Such an addition to our city
would be a good thing, but consid-
eriug the fact that there are build
ings here which could be readily
secured and easily fitted up for the
purpose, we fail to see wherein it
would be advisable to offer some
buyer a bonus. Rentage might be
rendered, but a cash bonus, it seems
to us, would be clear gift under the
circumstances. Our columns are
open for the expression of others.
A PETITION, signed by $50 tax
payers, asking the common council
to accept the claim of the late city
treasurer, Robert sharp, against
Henry's Bank and relieve him and
his bondsmen, was presented by
c. Spensley, Esq, at its last meeting.
Mr. S. spoke vigorously in its favor.
The matter was laid over till the
next meeting. Opinion is somewhat
divided, but sympathy for the bonds
men SEEM universal, which is
equivalent to a favoriug of the petit
ton. The high ebb Of taxes in our
city is the only cause for hcsitancy.
Ir is worth your time to make a
special call on Gundry, Gray e Co.
to see their new stock Of cioaks.
