Our well known former townsman,
Hugh COnnaughtOn, now Of AtchiSOn,
Kansas, opened the campaign of 1888
last week by sending five dollars on
subscription to The Democrat, paying
in advance until January l, 1890. He
writes that himself and family are
well and prosperous and are always
glad to hear from Mineral Point their
old home. Hugh is still staunch
democrat and expresses confidence in
the reelection of President Cleveland
The Darlington Journal says that
last Wednesday afternoon little Robby
McGuigan, s years old, son of " Bob
McGuigan, had the fingers of both
hands badly crushed in Harvey's bak-
cry. The little fellow placed his hand
on the lower roller of the cracker
which was running by steam,
and in second his fingers were drawn
under another roller and crushed.
Fortunately Mr.. Harvey happened to
look that way just then, and he instan-
ly threw off the connecting belt.
Wrenches had to be used to unscreW
bolts and separate the rollers before
the little sufferers hand could be re-
leased. Three fingers were broken on
the left hand, and two on the right
hand were badly crushed. The lad
was chuck full of grit and stood the
pain without a murmur.
No musical entertainment ever held
in Mineral Point gave such general
satisfaction as the concert by Misses
Olive and Retta Monahan and Messrs.
n. b. Yuille and $. T. Osborne at the
city hall on Wednesday evening. All
sang exceptionally well, and from the
first won the admiration of their
listeners. Mr.. Yuille has a we'll cult
waited and sweet tenor voice, Mr..
Osbornc's rich bass seldom if ever
sounded better; and the singing of the
Misses Monahan was truly delightful
and captivating. As one of our best
musicians expresses it, 1.-The whole
entertainment was so much better
than is furnished by the majority of
professional companies that it could
not fail to give the most complete sat
isfaction" The Democrat can assure
the members of the harmony quartette
that should they choose to appear in
Mineral Point again they will meet
