| JdiutS NlclulllSOll duu w lllldlH odlIuS
of Dodgeville, were callers in our
village last Sunday.
Miss Lizzie DOYLE, of WATERFOWL,
is here visiting with her sister, Miss
Mary Doyle.
Our village is flooded with pam
phlets, headed Iowa County Bonds,
| Vindication of Moses NJ. Strong. They
are read with much interest by some
of the older citizens.
Rev. w. f. Emery, the NJ. Z. min
lister from AvOca, preached an excel
lent sermon at the NJ. f. church on
last Sunday morning.
Mr.. and Mrs. Thomas Kennedy, of
Dodgeville, are here visiting their
many friends and relatives.
| Born, to Mr.. and Mrs. Vivian Har-
vey, son. No wonder V. looks so
proud.
Richard Aide, of Mineral Point, is
here this week visiting friends.
Mr.. and Mrs. James Penberthy
! transacted business in Dodgeville on
the Doth.
Charles Gallagher and /. Taylor, of
Avoca, had business here on the 2Sth.
There was a very sociable time at
the residence of Mr.. and Mrs. George
! Steinhart one night last week. About
fifty couples danced to the music of
the violin, after which supper was
served, and all present enjoyed them
selves, and only wished that every one
who builds a new house would do as
well.
Who will be the next assemblyman
/ from the western district, is question
often asked at the present time.
There are many democrats in the dis
trict who possess al the qualifications,
any one of whom would make good
member. Should Hon. r. Kennedy
consent to sacrifice his business here
and become candidate he would do
up the Pine Knob statesman or the
ablest one of his followers on short
notice. 1t matters not who the con-
vention may nominate, Michael j.
name is Dennis.
Patrick Grant has purchased M.
Lewis's residence, known as the Good
sell place, and Mr.. Lewis will move
into a residence nearer to his place of
! business.
Mrs. BENJAMIN Tonkin, of Linden,
visited her mother, Mrs. Robert Grace,
for couple of days. The old lady is
quite feeble at present.
Frank Dolan will build new res
idence this season. Perhaps a Clyde
party may have some interest in the
same when it is completed.
The school board has decided to
employ force of strange teachers,
with the exception of Prof. Charles
| johnson, who SO faithfully and sue
cessfully governed and managed the
school last year. Whether this is 4
good move or not remains to be told.
As for Miss Danninghauer. Miss Ne
wins and Miss Grant, we can say that
they are able educators, and have done
good work in the Highland school, and
should they teach the coming year, the
districts that employ them will do well.
Miss Lizzie Bezneak left here last
week for Milwaukee, at which place
she will make her future home.
The proprietor of the Blackney
House has the largest dog in the will
age, ABOUT one year on; oTeu between
Newfoundland and blood hound. His
boss used to call him Mailer; but some
mean democrat baptized him John F..
Finerty; and he seems to be proud of
the name, and will come for no other
name now. If some people had him
his life would be short one; but as
his master is democrat, it is not
likely that he will do away with him,
but will permit him to run at large
under the name of that noted Chicago
statesman. J. W. G.
