DARLINGToN's claim to be a sum
mer resort is strengthened by the
appearance Of a sea serpent. An
alligator has been seen in the Peca-
tonica river near that city, aud is
reported to be four feet long, How
it got SO far north was a puzzler
until a citizen of Gratiot made
known that a small circus company
which exhibited at Grauot in May
had four or five alligators along;
that two of them had died there,
and the proprietor had said he
would throw the others into the
river, as the reptiles were bother
some to take care of and would
probably die on his hands. This
accounts for the saurian seen in
Darlington, and there are undoubt-
edly two more in the river some
where.

The Natal DaV

Considering the brief time (only
one week. devoted to preparation
for the observance of the Fourth in
Mineral Point, it was a fair success,
Notwithstanding the inconsiderate
opinion of some to the contrary. 1t
was not calculated to make blow
out, but a social time for those who
preferred remaining at home and
those of their friends who might
Join them. And such it was.
The oration by Hon. ID. 5. Rose,
Of Milwaukee, was a carefully pre-
pared and well delivered production.
In what he said relative to the condi-
tions and circumstances of our gov
ment and its people were some
truths, differences Of opinion being
regulated by political faiths. There
was the best of music day and night

mended, but a little more consider
alton for the welfare of property
should be entertained by the boys.
THE time is at hand for every
person who is desirous of success
full fair in Mineral Point this year
to begin active an earnest work with
that end in view. 1t is an import
ant local matter in which all citizens
should center their interests. The
officers will do their duty Don't
delay preparations for the fair. Be
gin at once. 1t is none too early.
To INVITE and establish new in
dustries in a town is a most import
ant thing for its people to do. To
give support to home industries
already established is equally i'm
portant. As the home newspaper
does more for a town, its industries
and general prosperity and good
name than almost any other element
or influence, it should not be for
gotten.
WE will take almost anything, ex-
cept contumely or cussing, in pay
ment for subscriptions-oats, corn,
potatoes, syrup, cattle, hogs, horses,
farm lands, city lots or general
merchandise. Come in and see us,
whether you want the paper or not,
for we are worth looking at Then
you might give us some valuable
hints and suggestions as to the best
way to run paper.
FARMERS from different parts of
Richland county report that a
strange insect has been found at
work in the wheat fields. 1t is a
very small green bug or louise, and
works in the heads of grain under
meath the chaff, and it is feared
they will do great damage to the
grain as some fields are fairly alive
with them. The same complaint is
heard of in this county.
a VERY enjoyable song service
was conducted by the pastor, Rey.

hymns were sung, the whole con

Mr.. Horn has often acted as assist

sufficient TO warent the action OF

success.

She Il All Right.

Mandan Pisneer: Said an old-tlmer to,
day: 81 tell you that Dakota is all
right--I mean North Dakota, of course,
for that is the best part of what was the
territory of Dakota. When I came to the
northwest, years ago, had an uncle liv.
ing in Minnssota, and he wanted to trade
me his 100 acres Of land, house and
farm buildings, cattle. sheep, horses,
hogs and "a great deal of other truck for
fifteen acres of farming land that had
in the old country; but Minnesota was
down in the dumps at that time, and ]
was afraid of it. Now my uncle is well
fixed, and his farm is very valuable
piece of property. Let US remember the
grasshoppers, the drought and the thor
sand and one things the pioneers of Min
nesota had to put up with, and then com
pare their lot with ours. tell you that
we are all right, and there is big future
before this country. Some years there
may be lack of moisture. There is that,
| even, IN England sometimes, althoug
that country ls surrounded by seas and
the amount Of evaporation is usually i'm.
mense. But, take one decade with an,
other, and we have plenty of rain, an,
we will continue to have enough. Havt
irrigation where you want il, and thel
you will be sure Of your crops; but, with
| out that, you will have crops, one yesl
| with another"
