"Yum Yum's" name, at all hours of
the silent night. 1t must be that
the disease is contagious as SINH
lar case of "Mikado" madness is re-
ported at Cincinnati, only the devo-
tee at that place don't go to bed with
the score book.
The Juvenile Temple will resume
their weekly meetings next Wednes-
day evening.
BEFORE moving into our new
store opposite City Hall, (J. Deller's
old stand) will offer a general re-
duction of 10 per cent. on all goods.
Avail yourselves of an opportunity
to get the very choicest goods at a
low price. J. Penhallegon IL Son.
WAKE Up.-Spring is rapidly ap-
preaching; and now is the time to
make moves toward improving our
town the coming season. Encourage
factories, a creamery or something,
even if you have no desire to be
prominently connected. If the
citizens don't establish boom and
push with vigor who will? Every
one seems to be united in the opin-
ion that much advancement ought
and can be made and our population
greatly increased in consequence.
No town of its size can boast Of
more clean wealth than Mineral
Point. The only trouble is, that no
one seems inclined to take the init
ial step. Wake up.
TIE next issue Of the Wisconsin
Temperance Journal, paper estab-
lished by p. Allen, Jr., and pub
lished at this place for about ten
years, and was disposed of last fall
to w. n. Stone, of Lancaster, will
be issued under the name Of "The
Western Good Templar." This
move is in furtherance of the design
Of the officers of the Right Worthy
Grand Lodge, of which John b.
Finch is the head, to establish in the
United States four papers which
shall be recognized as the Official
organs of the order within certain
states, and which shall be designated
respectively, as the eastern Good
Templar, ,"'W estern Good Templar,"
Southern Good Templar," and
"Pacific Slope Good Templar."
Twelve states are assigned to be
covered by "The Western Good
Templar," namely, Wisconsin, Hi
nois, Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri,
Kansas, Nebraska, Michigan, Indi-
ana, Dakota and Montana. This
plan is capable of developments
which promise to make Mr.. Stones
Journal the most profitable paper in
this part of Wisconsin.
THE sooner everybody comes
down to living up to the motto
olive and let live" the sooner will
prosperity get firmly established.
The one trouble is, that no matter
how wealthy a person, they become
affected with the prevailing com
plant, and economic in proportion,
as much as other people. Prosper
ity reigns where money is spent
literally. Too close-fsted buying
creates many cheap things. The
quality Of goods has steadily deteri-
GRATED, and one finds when he must
have an extra quality of something
that it costs nearly as much as it
ever did. Good things always com
mand good prices and so does good
work. Skilled labor and unskilled
labor do not compete, and well made
articles and productions ought not
to compete with cheap trash. The
man who pays promptly ought not
to be compelled TO compete with
one who does not. But it is so ar
ranged that he has to. Let there be
reform, and that soon.
w. T. FOSTER, Of Abba, the Iowa
weather prophet, predicts that one of
the greatest storm periods Of the
