am tired of trusting, and adding
eXta margain of profit to goods, in order
to offer wonderful discounts, causing
many good people to believe that they
are getting their moneys worth, and
the discount for nothing, which is
a delusion and patent to anyone who
will take the trouble to figure on per
centages. So have concluded TO sell

thing in my line, at prices so near cost
that no merchant can discount and

In noticing the Mineral Point fair
The Dodgeyille Chronicle says: 1t is
estimated that there were over 12,OCC
people present on Thursday, and many
were surprised the attendance was not
larger on account of the rare exhibit
of a democratic governor of Wiscon-
sin" Wisconsin, it is true, has not
often had a democratic governor to
exhibit; but not to have one this year
of grace 1891 would Indicate that the
state was behind in the march OF
human progress. Twenty eight states
of our glorious Uniou now have demo
cratic governors, and in the future a
republican governor will be rara avis
The Democrat dislikes to mix politics
with agricultural news; but cannot
refrain from remarking that eve are
the people"

The Historic Nile.

The Nile is a remarkably different
stream now from what it was in the
days of the ancient Pharaohs. Its
waters are still wanted for making the
land of Egypt fertile each year, but
they can no longer be depended upon
at least not to the extent desired.

river does not flow into the Mediter-
ranean at all, and the department of
public works is engaged on the ques-
ton of storage reservoirs which will
hold back some of the surplus water at
food time and let it out more leisurely
as needed by the agriculturist. But q
