appreciate the sweets Of a summer
vacation. With the mercury rang
ing up in the nineties, there is
strong tendency to go to sleep after
dinner.
The innocence of the young men
of Madison is something beautiful.
A young fellow there attempted to
secure the arrest of young woman
who, he insisted, had attempted to
lead him astray.
The fact that persons are contin-
ually leading or driving horses be-
tween the posts and over the side
walk by the Jerusalem pump is
reason enough that a stout rail
should be laid on top the posts. The
expense would be saved in protection
to the sidewalk in a little while.
MINERAL PoINT is going to cele-
brate and the Good Templars are
going to do their best to make the
evening of the Fourth enjoyable by
giving one of their popular Ice
Cream Festivals at their hall. Every
one should attend and partake of
the delicious cream and cake that
they will furnish.
THE strawberry and ice cream
festival given by the Good TEN
plars last Friday evening was such
a pleasant and successful affair they
decided to give another one on the
evening of the Fourth. They have
doubled their order for cream so
will have enough for everybody. BE
sure you call on them.

THE Pecatonica river which has
been "below par" for the past two
years, has regained all its old-time
vigor, and its clear waters sparkle
in the sunbeams where a few weeks
ago the lone fisherman sat without
entertaining even the remotest idea
of running his Sunday pantaloons or
wetting the postage stamps in his
pistol pocket.
TH1s may not be much of year
for corn but it is grand one for
roses. In the woods everything
that carries a thorn has a rose to
cover it, and in the gardens the
bloom and glory are beyond prece-
dent The cool, cloudy, wet wealth
er has been favorable to their per-
feet growth and so has brought
something of compensation for the
injury it has otherwise wrought.
The Keokuk Constitution thinks
persons who have a superstitious
dread of Friday will be pleased to
hear that this is year for Fridays.
1t came in on Friday, will 90 out on
Friday, and will have tifty-three Of
the ill-omened days. There are
four months in this year that have
five Fridays each, changes of the
moon occur FIVE times on Friday,
and the longest and shortest days of
the year fall on Friday.
THE local prohibition managers,
at Madison, under the leadership Of
I T. c. Richmond, chairman Of the
state committee, are endeayoring to
organize a temperance league which
shall embrace temperance people Of
all parties. When 10000 legal
voters have joined it, and not till
then, a state convention is TO be
called to decide upon the best policy
to pursue to combat the whisky evil.
If the requisite membership can not
be obtained, nothing is to come Of
the move. A number Of Republi.
cans have been beguiIed into the
scheme. Richmond, the ringleader
