1t may concern. The remainder of

A FISHING party of fourteen or
fifteen ladies, some married aud
some single, steered for w. B.
Dawes mill on Tuesday. They left
the bottom of the stream there and

The Repu5l;oaa of Darlington
claims that several of the fashion
able young men of that place have
signifed their intention of attending
the state fair at Milwaukee this fall
and competing for the prize offered
to the man coming the nearest to
initiating that monstrosity called
the dude.
LET every citizen of Mineral
Point contribute an exhibit of some
kind to the fast approaching fair
BY so doing success will be insured,
and the stock raisers and tillers of
the soil encouraged 10 renewed
efforts next year. 1t is next to IN
reasonable to depend upon the
officers to do everything.

AT the State Pharmaceutical CON
vention last week, DR.. Il. d. Pull
ford, of this city, was awarded the
prize of six silver goblets for the
longest mustache; he also received

ing the oldest pharmacist in the
state. The next convention will be
held at Portage.
Ir IS said that the hustle manufac-
turers are getting out far greater
supply of goods for the Fall trade
than ever before. 1t is evident that
the idiocy of having "frst lady Of
the land' to set the fashions is not
acceptable to the free and independ-
ent womanhood of the United States.
As to Mrs. Cleveland, "sne's all
right" but she can not abolish the
hustle.
ONE day last week the secretary
of our fair, Delos j. Beech, met Mr.,
w. J. Dyer and Mr.. Kilbourne, Of
Lancaster. These gentlemen told
him that there would be good racing
at Lancaster on Aug. 8oth and 3lst,
and that in their opinion there will
be larger and better field Of run
ming and trotting horses at the fair
in Mineral Point this year than there
has been before in several years,
for the reason that there is no other
fair held the first week in September,
namely on the 4th, 5th, 9th and 18th
days.

doing their friends and patrons a
service, as many Of them wish to
secure space.
A PERSON who had for many
years suffered terribly from ivy pois-
oning claims to have found an ante

all poisons are acids, and that aka
lies neutraIize acids, I bathed the
poisoned member in a strong lye
made from wood ashes, and obtained
