Mrs. JoHN HoARE, lady over 10
years of age, fell last Saturday
morning and broke her left leg
above but very close to the knee
joint. There was misty rain the
night before, and in the morning
everything that had become mois-
ened was icy. Mrs. Hoare was
leaving her home to go TO her son
James when she slipped and fell on
the porch, which resulted as stated.
1t is very bad break, and will
likely prove extra severe on one of
her age.
HAVE you visited Adam Dresen,
the tailor, since his removal into the
Graber block? To see one of the
most convenient and inviting apart
ments of the kind in the state you
should do so by all means. Adams
enterprise is commendable. His
large stock of cloths is we'll arranged
for inspection in neat and we'll
lighted room. Off from this is a
dressing room, aud besides these are
the cutting and work departments.
The whole is a decided credit to
Mineral Point.
WE have received a copy Of q
patent potatoe digger issued from
the U. 5. patent Office Dec. "a, 1889,
to J. IL. Priestley, of Meriden, Ia,
formerly of Mineral Point. 1t is
only in the eating that we know
anything about potatoes, but from
looks of cuts, etc, regard the new
invention as a good machine. 1t is
capable of digging and sacking
1000 bushels per day, where the
crop will run 200 bushels to the
acre. 800 will buy one. Selling
rights can be secured cheap.
