By ORDER PRESIDENT.
WHAT the Shullsburg LocH has
to say of the exhibition of actual
war scenes, given at that place and
here the past week, is so we'll in
harmony with the sentiments Of
those of our citizens who witnessed
it, the same is reproduced "rhe
pictures were presentend on a large
white screen, erected on the stage,
by the agency of q magic lantern
enclosing a powerful calcium light,
which was located in the center Of
the hall. Many of the pictures
were realistic, aud the entertainment
quite interesting barring the inter
minable prolixity Of the lecturer
which was tiresome in the extreme"
JUICE CLEMENrsoN, on opening
court at Richland Center, read
communication addressed to the
county board, merciIessly condemn
ing the old courthouse. In over a
column Of very plain facts he said
this: 'It is not necessary to consider
particulars to show the pressing need
of new building. A glance at the
courthouse as it stands is enough.
1t is altogether the smallest, mean
est, and most inconvenient court
house in the state, and / am satisfied
that in no state in the Union is there
county, no matter how poor, that
can present its equal for meanness
and rqualor. 1t is standing dis
grace to the county"
A NEIGHBoRING quill driver reads
this fatherly advice to the young
men of his city and as we have a
number here who would be greatly
benefited by giving heed thereto we
quote it: "Young man go to work;
get off that store box, quit growing,
get job and be cheerful. If you
cannot sell goods, saw wood; if you
can't handle cash, carry coal-do
something. Act! If something
don't turn up, take hold of hat-side
and turn it up. Be a man of six
bits a day, if you can't get a dollar
yes take so cents a day for doing
something, rather than lay around
the stove and complain Of worse
than nothing, and be justly called a
loafer TO boot Rustic! Test your
mustle, strike hard aud hit often;
this is the boom that wins !"
The Democrat came to the front
last eek with weak effort to up
hold the council in not honoriug the
accommodation Of the city scnool
superintendent in the appointment
Of member of the school board.
Which is nearer frst-class, the dem
ocrat appointed or the democrat
recommended, IS not the question.
The wish of the people that a
change be had was clearly portrayed
at the polls by the election Of Supt.
Tallman. Could he have received
the handsome majority in the demo
cratic second ward did not the den
oorats desire a change? Some Tree
or four weeks before election the
hold-over members Of the council
