Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1886-03-04
A Judge AtLast.

| judge, to fill the vacancy caused by
the death of VIM. McGonigal, and
reporters have been on the alert to
catch the first voice from the Gov
ernor. Friday the appointment was
made-Captain George Is. Carter, of
Plstteville, is the man. The Cap
tain's close competitor, Captain
Schreiner, had a good list of en-
dorsers. Captain Carter, having
been an honored member of the
/ gallant old Second Wisconsin, had
good backing from the army boys;
and for that matter Capt. Schreiner
was well backed by the "boys in
blue"
GENTIEMEN's HATS. The spring
style of silk hat is about as high as
the fall hat, but tapers slightly
toward the crown and the bell has
almost entirely disappeared. The
bmm has undergone but a slight
modification, having a trife less curl, +,
and that of half-round description.
Stuff Derby hats are higher than be
fore, some Of them being but a frac-
tion lower by actual measurement
than the silk hat, though their APP
pearance is much lower. They also
taper more than formerly, and the
crown is rounded instead of being
slightly square as formerly.
JUDGE DAVID DAVIS, of Illinois,
once said: Each year every local
paper gives from one hundred to five
thousand dollars in free lines for sole
benefit of the vicinity in which it is
located No other agency can or
will do this. The local editor, in
proportion to his means, does more
for his town than any other ten men,
and in all fairness, man with man,
he ought to be supported, not be
cause you may happen to like him or
admire his writing, but because the
local paper is the best investment a
co'amunity can make. 1t may not
not be brilliant or crowded with
great thoughts, but financially it is
of more benefit TO the community
than the preacher or teacher. I'm
derstand us now, we do not mean
intellectually or morally, bat fnan-
cially, and yet, on moral questions
you will find the majority of the
local papers on the right side. To
day the editors of local papers do
the most work for the least money
of anyone on earth. Subscribe for
your local paper, not as a charity
but as an investment.
