IT seems but fair to ask every one
who reads this: When in need of the
necessaries oflife and you have not the
cash to pay where do you get your
credit? AT our home establishments,
of course. Then are not these the
places to patronize waen you have
cash to spend? Reason answers,
yes.
FoRstwo weeks previous farmers
were somewhat dubious as to the
outcome of the corn crop owing to
the wet, cold weather. But the per-
feet ripening weather which has
been prevailing this week rallies
hope to its highest notch. 1t is now
quite likely that the corn crop this
year will be immense.
THE county fair at Dodgeyille,
held this week, is favored with the
finest weather possible, and there is
every reason to believe that it will
result as one of the most successful
in the history of the society. The
number of entries is very large, and
the delightful weather is sure to
bring out large attendance.
p. S.-We must except to-day.
FROM the Chronicle we CLEAN that
Mr.. and Mrs. Aldro jerks, of
Dodgeville,are called upon to mourn
the loss of their second son Herbert
A., aged three years and four months,
who died on Monday last, after a
somewhat protracted illness, of scar
let fever followed by inhammatory
rheumatism. 1t is sad bereavement
and one which calls out the sympa-
thy of all acquaintances.
THE old fiction that a cyclon e,
like lightning, will never strike twice
in the same place, is repeated by the
Philadelphia Times. There is am
pie evidence that either may strike
twice in the same place. In Dane
co unity, this state, a destructive wind
storm has twice devasted the same
track, and at Burnett Junction, also
in this state, Sherman's barn was
twice or thrice struck and destroyed
by lightning.
LIKE most everyone else we have
seeen a great many sunflowers In
our time, among them some quite
large, but those grown on Mr.. Il
Oates place on the eastern edge OF
the city, and on exhibition at this
office, are by far the largest we have
ever seen. They are known as the
Mammoth Russian. The one which
we weighed tipped the scales at four
pounds, while it measures about
fifteen inches across the face, and
the seed are nearly as large as the
average kernel of corn.
AS butcher Jacka's team was be-
inc driven down High street this
morning by young man in bis EN-
ploy, named Hick, it was frightened
at the opening of an umbrella and
dashed wildly ahead. It's probable
that the driver would have held
them but for their running into a
post at the lower side of the public
square. This collision upset the
wagon and threw young Hick out
with sufficient force to render him
utterly unconscious, in which state
he remained for some time. As we
go to press It's thought that he is
some better.
TIE sale of lands belonging to the
estate Of w. I. Henry in this com-
ty will take place next Wednesday
in this city. Some valuable farm
land as we'll as town and city lois
will be offered for sale. 1t will be a
good opportunity for those of our
citizens who desire pasture lots or
small tracts of land for tobacco cul-
