A NUMBER Of robins were seen
and heard in this neigbborbood last
week. Even the "oldest inhabitant"
never before saw robins in this
county on the oath Of December
STEPS are being taken by mem
bers of the State Agricultural So
ciety to organize Morgan Horse
Association to preserve the famous
Morgan breed of horses as pure as
possible.
COMMENCING with next week the
TRBUNE will publish an education
al column, superintended by Prof.
Cabanis. 1t is to be bi-weekly. This
ought, and we trust will, awaken the
educational interests in the commu-
nifty.
HANDsLEDs were never more In
service in Mineral Point than the
last few days. Coasting is first
class and the little folks are having
huge sport the whole day long. The
weather is as favorable as possibly
could be.
THE teachers meeting to be held
in this city on the 10th of this
month promises to be one Of unusual
success, because of the growing in
terest in these meetings. We are
requested to extend an invitation to
all citizens having an interest in ed
ucational matters and the welfare of
our public schools.
THE boys who conducted the tur-
key shoot New Years day did well.
There were three interested and they
netted about nine dollars each.
This doesn't reflect very hattering-
ly on the shooting ability of oar
sportmen.
TINS mixing up of Sundays and
holidays SO closely together is CON
fusing to the average mind, which
has to stop and think twice or three
times before it can decide whether
the path of duty leads to the church
or elsewhere.
THIS is the month of the year the
TRIBUNE has to settle all its debts.
1t is diseouraging TO find it some
what difficult TO meet our obligations
when we are owed three times as
much as we owe. Win debtors take
the hint and settle?
NEW YEARS calling was INDUCED
in to the usual extent in Mineral
Point this year. The principal joke
connected with the event is on the
fellow who sat in the snow by mis-
take for the rig he was to go in
upon his coming out of one place
preparatory TO moving on. otis all
in life time

Thomas WEsrABY, of Shullsburg,
has constructed a "riding harrow"
and applied for a patent. On Fri
day hs received a communication
from Washington stating that the
model sent there had been examined
and that it was patentable. Farm
work Is getting the rough edges
taken of it every year, and now the
harrow Will bo furnished with
cushioned seats, and the farmer will
find more plea,ure in preparing the
j ground for corn than he would lying
in ths shade lighting flies.

scribers will miss the TRIBUEs.
