LET the people, men, women and
children, resolve to make the 30th
of April the memorable day of the
century. Il will be becoming in all
the people to observe it as the red
letter day in all American history
WILL REESE, who farms a short
distance southeast of this city, in
forms us that last week colt en-
tirely eyeless was foaled by one of
his best mares. Otherwise the colt
is all right in every particular. VIII

$50.

in Southwestern Wisconsin is to be
held on the Sd, 4th, 5th and 9Th days
of September, at Mineral Point and
that the premiums will be larger

THERE was no possible chance for
a Republican to secure the city
clerkship, Notwithstanding his party
had a two-thirds vote on the appoint
ment, unless he made application
sooner than a Democrat! Results

a majority of the taxpayers of the
city by using whatever surplus there

Would it not have been just as
reasonable to do away with the

CHAs. PArTEN, oolored, died very
suddenly last Thursday while in the
field engaged in helping another
party at work. 1t was in all prob
ability from heart disease. He at

and of late years had lived alone on
the John Greenwood farm, northeast
of this city. His age was supposed
to be about 80 years.

we town people are inclined to think

ing and growing grain, and later on,
vegetables and fruits, are common

The members Of the Band of
Hope are making extensive prepara-
tions for dime entertainment which
will be given on the evening Of
April 30th, at the Good Templar's
hall. The program will consist Of
songs, recitations and dialogues, and
will be rendered almost entirely by
the children. Everybody viii surely

30th, the centennial anniversary Of
the Inauguration Of Washington.
