a Retlc.

Considerable curiosity was aroused
about a week ago over the finding of
supposed cannon ball in a rock quarry
near Grant river. four or five miles
west of town. 1t is said that it was
found several feet beneath a surface of
solid rock and this caused great deal
of curiosity Some advanced the opin-
ion that it had been lost by the armies
that had been stationed in this portion
of the state in an early day, in their
marches from Dodgeville Il Prairie du
Chen. The whole thing is reasonably
summed up in the knowledge Of few
facts.
Several years ago when the old Me
Donald Block. which was destroyed by
fire last year, was having its foundation
laid, Philip Reitz was employed in
getting out the store Tie material
was to be heavy and sound, and such
rock was found in this quarry where the
supposed relic was discovered. On
account of their weight MIR. Reilz re-
sorted to the simply method Of using
the heavy iron balls as rollers, which
were taken from an old McCormick
reaper having answered the purpose a.
weights to balance the heavy rake,

mrnnlno ANNIVERSARY.

Yesterday was a day of enjoyment
with Mr.. and Mrs. Andrew Eastman, OF
this city, it being the iiftieth anniyersa-
~ of their wedding. Mr.. Eastman was
born March 10, 1918, in Seneca, Ohio,
and coming west in 1882. located in
Lafayette county, and served as guard
in the Black Hawk war that year, at
the Fort at Elk Grove. He married
Miss Louisa n. Goodrich, IN Lynn Co.
Iowa, Jan. Is, 1910, and during the
same year located near his former home
east of PIatteyille. where they resided
up to short time ago. when they
moved to this city.
To them were born eleven children,
eight of whom are living, three in the
west and the rest in this state. All were
expected to be present, also a number
of friends.
Quite number of presents We're
made, and the occasion was very much
enjoyed by all. Mr.. and Mrs. Eastman,
although we'll advanced in years. are
both hale and hearty, and it is hoped
that they may spend many more years
of enjoyment together. May the richest
blessings attend them in their old age

CAUSE OF HARD TIMES.

A large meeting of farmers was held
at Lone Rock, Richland County, the 2nd
and 81 of this month, at which were
discussed the best interests of the agri-
culturers. Supt. Morrison made crit
zeal examination into the general COM
plant of hard times among farmers,
and reached the conclusion, that it was
10 great extent due TO mismanage-
ment.
He said that proper means would be
found in better methods which make
the acreage come up to the production
which, he said, should be expected.
This would so cheaper production that
profit would yet remain to the frrmer.
This problem is being gradually solved,
and men who raise 40 bushels of po-
tatoes to the acre and produce from
200 TO 800 pounds of butter in a year
from each COW are not found among
the number who complain of hard times.

he tapped the passenger on the arm.

81 will, was the submissive response,
and the conductor passed along. The
train stopped at the next station, started
again, and was bowling along at thirty
miles an hour, when the conductor
again came through, and saw the trav-
eler on the same seat as before.

Again the train stopped and again

conductor passed on.
Again the train stopped and starred,
and again the traveller turned up on the

for the bell-rope to stop the train and
eject him summarily, when the traveller

VIck's FLORAL GUIDE.

We have received from JAMES VIcK,
Rochester, N. Y, his FLORAL GUIDE,
which in beauty of appearance and
convenience of arrangement surpasses
anything in this line which we have
ever he'd the privilege of seeing before.
It's a pamphlet eight by ten inches in
size, and with the covers, which are by
no means the least important part of it,
contains an even ono hundred pages.
Although called '.ioral guide, it is
devoted to vegetables as well, and in
cludes as full list and description of
both flowers, vegetable and also small
fruits as could be brought within the
compass of book of this size.
