THE PLATTEvILLE STAGE.

Since Lancaster is endeavoring to
have the Platteville stage time changed
so as to leave here in the morning and
return in the afternoon, Platteville is
developing her full kicking qualities,
and for no other reason than that Lam
caster might be benefited.
Under our present mail facilities Lam
caster does not receive yesterdays news
until tomorrow morning, all daily
papers except possibly the Sentinel ar
rivlng too late for distribution on day
of publication. The stage leaving
Platteville after dinner would bring us
Chicago papers in time for distribution,
and the change would not initiate
against Platteville one jot. In fact to a
casual observer it would look as if she
would be benefited With a railroad
leaving in the morning for the county
seat and returning in the evening, a
stage route covering same time merely
duplicates the convenience. OF course
lawyers cannot hold the train as they
do the stage to suit their pleasure,
but that is small matter compared
with Lancasters necessity. With the
stage leaving in the afternoon Platte
vile business nen can come to the
county seat either in the morning or
afternoon, and return either at noon or
evening as their business may re-
quire. Why such an arrangement is
not more advantageous it would be
difficult for ore not blinded by preju-
dice to determine.

SCHOOL MEETING.

A party of gentlemen escorted by the
Scecol Board visited the Public School
House Friday afternoon TO inspect the
building. The walls and ceilings of
many of the class rooms and the chapel
were found to be in very much need of
repair, so much so that some ceilings
VIII have to DC entirely replaced. This
matter will be brought before the annu-
al school meeting TO be held Monday
evening, at the school chapel al 1880.
when full attendance of all interested
is earnestly requested, as immediate
action should be taken.
The gentlemen were also shown the
sanitary arrai gements in the basement.
where two sets of hot air closets are
placed. The system is thoroughly eff
feetiye, insuring neatness and cleanli-
ness, and the Board deserve praise for
SO admirably disposing of question
that is usually so vexatious. The
grounds are being well cared for, and if
after the storm doors and interior are
mended. enough funds could be trailed
over to paint the exterior a cream col
or, Lancaster would have as handsome
Public School building and grounds
as could be wished.

Now EoR A RAlIaoAn

The suggestion of the HERALD last
week for better railway facilities has
met with marked approval, and a meet
ing of citizens soon after the Fourth is
proposed to determine what action is
advisable.
Lancaster suffers for lack Of railway
facilities more than anything else. A
beautiful city, well located. and the
county seat, no one ever comes here I'M
less they start with the firm determi-
nation to see Lancaster or die in the
attempt. You never hear of traveller
passing through on the railroad say:
what a beautiful city this is, | must
stop off day on my return and see
what the hotel accommodations are. 1t
would be a lovely place for my family
to spend few weeks this summer"
And yet that is precisely what happens
to all cities located on travelled high
ways. Visitors bring certain amount
of direct trade and indirectly those who
locate permently and the city grows and
thrives. Manufactures follow business
and railway facilities and soon Lancas-
ter would be city worthy one of the
richest counties in the state.
Another railroad is not an impossi-
bil:ty; a comparatively small spur would
carry the Platteville branch of the St.
Paul road through Lancaster to Prairie
du Chen, connecting with their man
line. This would make a more direct
route from Chicago TO the Northwest
and would open Grant County to a
prosperity never before enjoyed. 1t is
folly to assert that the one station that
might grow up between here and Platte
vile would seriously affect Lancaster
The few shipments of butter and eggs
that might 60 direct from there to
Chicago would be offset ten fold by the
trade the village would furnish the county
seat, just as our citizens 70 to Madison,
Milwaukee or Chicago for goods not
easily procured by our home merchants.
Then the natural growth of the town in
being brought into the marts of the
world would double its SIZE in a few
years. Merchants would be benefited
by the increased trade and property
owners would gain by its rise in value.
Platteville is larger than Lancaster,
her growth due entirely to having
greater railway facilities. Her State
Normal and other enterprises are d.
rectly traceable to this fact which has
stimulated and added to her entorpris-
ing citizens. Ii is time Lancaster was
looking to her interests. She has her
honor to maintain as the banner city Of
Grant County, and pluck and enterprise
are the winning cards in the long run.
