Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1886-11-18

ing board Ga Democrat we are in
formedl emptied the contents of the
box out on the floor. One of the
other members cried out "hold on"
but it was too late. As is the case
at all election precincts, there were
several tickets lying on the floor
that had not been in the ballot box,
and it was deemed best to gather up
only the scratched tickets This is
as we understand it. But whether
this be correct or not, the several
memb bers of the board and the spec
tators standing around are willing to
testify to The honesty of the count,
and that there was no willful intent
to commit a fraud. Only mistake
which no one can prove to be other
than accidental.
AN entertain ment will be given
at the Wyoming church Friday even
ing, Nov. 26, under the supervision

With the receipt of the usual
prospectus and announcement of
this, the best of all lady magazines,
viz; GodeyS Lady's Book, we
notice that it has distanced all its
co mpetitors IN securing for the lit
erary corps two such stars as Miss
Rose Elizabeth Cleveland four Pres
ident's sister,, and the best known
of all fashion writers, Jenny June,
whose articles commence in the Jan
uary number. Like old wine, 90
6ey'S seems to grow better with age,
and we hope our lady friends will
show their appreciation of enterprise
by sending their subscription (only
$500 yearly for our old and es
teemed friend, Godey'S Lady's Book,
Philadelphia, Pa.

Mrs. c. Watson, p. N. Evangelist
at Bethel.
OF all moral reforms that lift man
kind the highest in the scale of be-
ing, and bring the richest experience
to e.mind, is revival of pure and
undetiIed religion. Such has been
the privilege and enjoyment of some
of the young people at Bethel
church, about seven miles east of
Mineral Point, during the last ten
days.
Sister Watson commenced her
winter campaign of winning souls
for Christ a week last Sabbath.
With fine weather, beautiful moon
light and good roads, the congrega-
tions were excellent--sometimes
crowded. Her pointed and sympa-
thetic appeals, seasonable illustra-
tions, accompanied by the Spirit and
blessing of the Master, and earnest
prayers Of the few members, we are
happy to state resulted in the con
version of nine or ter persons; also
leaving a deep religious impression
on the minds of many who attended
the meetings. From the above
place our Evangelist goes to Benton,
New Diggings circuit, for her good
work next Sabbath. May the cold
Chariot roll successfully along"

Demore8t's Monthly Nagazjne for
December is indeed an elegant
Christmas number. The fine oil
picture, "SIedding," represents a
snow scene in the time Of the
French Directory. It is work Of
art worth several times the cost Of
