Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1888-10-25

"iSH ieSislef ever brought TO Iowa
county. The doctor doesn't readily
divulge the price paid, but it is safe
to say that it was no meager sum.
The election will be a matter of
history after the 9th of November,
and then everybody can settle down
to regular business, and the cry Of
"hard times" will soon cease after
Harrison's election.
The flag hoisted by the Demo
cratic club is beauty, But the men
whose pictures are thereto attached
are not SO favorably associated with
the stars and ripes as are other
nameable candidates.
WILD fowls are flying south. The
snow storm up north last week
started them on their flight. Hunt
ers around Mineral Point don't get
much of chance at them, however.
The birds cling too near water.
AN exchange makes this cutting
remark for the benefit of ladies, but
certainly not for its own benefit:
"Ihere is a great deal Of talk in the
country about dull times, but there
must be money somewhere, and
trade also, Judging from the hand
some dresses that are being made
in our village"
TRINITY church ladies have en-
gagged Mr.. James Townsend Russell,
a well known elocutionist, to give
parlor recital, at Mrs. N. II. Shows
residence, Monday, Oct 80, 1888, at
s O'Clock p. N. Mr.. Russell will
also sing several songs. 1t will be
a rare treat and well worth the price
of admission-50 cents.
TINS is just what the taxpayers
of Iowa county know Mr.. George
Paulson to be. This is why they
have retained Mr.. Paulson as county
treasurer. They know the public
funds are safe in his custody. The
people know he is indeed competent
and honest, and ther interests are
faithfully guarded by him, and his
responsibility is beyond question.
The self-binder has done its work
for the season of 1888, and now
stands in the shed or in the fence
corner. The one placed in the shed
will do good work next year, while
the one exposed to the elements
will be sold for old iron. A sewing
machine left out doors all fall and
winter would do as good sewing in
tie spring as a binder would do
effectual service in the field.
The young Republican orators
billed for this city next Saturday
evening, VIM. f. Bainbridge and
Oscar Hallam, are known by several
of our citizens, being natives of this
county. As speakers they are prov
ing remarkably successful, to that
degree that high praise is preceding
them where e'er they go. 1t is a
pleasure to thus refer to the achieve
ments of our country's product
REV. WV. HAw, at one time Pre-
siding Elder for this the Platteville
district Of the NJ. Z. church, was
siezed with paralysis, at Monroe, on
the 18th inst. and died the same
evening. He had been appointed to
60 to Chippewa Falls, and his house
hold belongings were all packed
ready to 60 when the summons of
death came. The family has sympa
-hizing friends throughout the state.
"MEDIrATIoN" is the name of the
beautiful frontispiece which graces
The November numb of Godey's
LQdys Book. The contents of this
are indeed well worth med
tating upon after careful reading.
The idea of an illustrated story is
one which Will find favor every
where. The story itself is first-class,
As also are the others in the maga-
zine, whether longer or shorter.
