Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1888-05-31

velope on which the words bad
Debts" were printed in large type.
WITH the population that Warren
has it seems a shame that the town
can support only one preacher.
With four churches in the place,
only one has regular PASTOR
Warren Sentinel.
THE democrats of Cook county,
ILL.,, held banquet and dedicated
new quarters on Monday evening.
David b. Jones, president of the
Mineral Point zinc manufacturing
company, was one Of the speakers.
IT was not John Gorgon that pur-
chased the Teasdale residence as
stated last week, but his brother
George. John, however, has secur
ed the Temple residence and is
making the same attractive and de-
sirable.
THAT spool automan displayed
in Pulford's window this week is
handsome thing, 1t is the work of
Mr.. Crause, the new druggist, who
proposes to present one similar to it
to the lady making the best display
of needle work at the fair to be held
in this city in September
GET ye to the band concert by all
means. Such worthy organization
is entitled to the patronage and
encouragement it hereby solicits.
The best vocal talent in our city,
which is superior, will take part,
aud the whole is to conclude with
the amusing farce, "Box and Cox"
THE improvement in the condition
of the winter wheat, due to the
copious showers this spring, is now
being noted by many of our farmers.
The pastures and meadows are in
splendid condition and stock thriv-
ing rapidly. Fruit prospects are
very fair, but the season is a trih lie
backward.
IT was our good fortune last Sat
urday to take a look at John NJ
Ellsworth's new English Shire stock
horse that had been received only
two days before. This animal has
a history of which to be proud. 1t
is an importation, and at the Worlds
Fair at New Orleans was awarded
the first prize and sweepstakes. The
weight of the animal is 1900 pounds.
WHILE making a running hop
yesterday in front of Sims livery
barn, Gilbert Lancaster broke the
small bone of his left leg close to
the ankle, and sustained a severe
strain to the other bone. As he lit
the foot turned, braking the bone
and forcing it through the flesh. 1t
is very painful and serious acci-
dent for the young man, and there
is much sympathy extended him.
The hall should be packed to its
utmost capacity for the band con
cert. 1t is but proper; the merit is
due. If such an appreciation is ex-
hibited we are assured by the mem
bers that they will in return show
their appreciation by giving open
air concerts during the summer in
which the entire band shall take part,
the same to be advertised liberally a
proper time ahead, so as to give
parties outside the city an opportu-
nifty to participate. Could anything
be more reasonable?
THE chairman Of the town board
of Lancaster, Wis, recently receiy-
ed letter containing postal order
for $40, from D. Robbins, per c. 2.
Robbins Of Payson, H., on which
he says that brother Of his died in
Lancaster several years ago and was
buried by the town, and the writer
owed his brother $l7 at the time of
the latter's death. He also explains
in the letter, that he had intended
to visit Lancaster, s now too feeble
to make the journey, but thinks that
the town is entitled to the $40. |
Mr. Robbins is evidently a very
man
