Ia Mrs. D. E. Nilsson is back from
her two weeks stay in Chicago, where
she received instructions in the latest
style of trimming in the millinery line
Her customers will receive the benefit
| of her knowledge. She also purchased
an elegant stock of millinery goods, in

"A certain young man in this city re-
Gently called upon two young ladies and
while in their company stroked a dog
several times and then attempted to
draw his hand across one of the young
! ladies faces. At this the young lady
cuffed the young man warmly, and told
him if he ever attempted such a thing
again she would cuff him up to a peak
and then knock the peak off, The
young man has learned a lesson we
| hope.
Time will tell whether our position on
the school question in school district No.
l, in the town Of Sigel, is col. .ect or not.
The simple assertion made by the Enter
prise that the records show this and
that, is no reason that it is so. Why
not produce the records of school dis
trict No. l, and prove your assertions.
The fact that they admit some points in
our argument is sufficient to substantiate
that the other statements as made by
US, are correct. For the present we
will await further developments and
watch the outcome of the Superinten-
dents unjust decision.
E@ When in need of carpets call on
NJ. A. Bogoger, who keeps the finest
line in the city.
| A school teacher tells an exchange
that ''pupils who have access to good
newspapers at home, when compared
with those who have not, are better
readers, better spoilers, grammarians,
excel in punctuation and obtain
practical knowledge of geography in
half the time it requires others. The
newspapers are decidedly an important
| factor in modern life"
RI@H. H. Voss & Co. desire to
call attention to the finest line
of imported china and glassware that
was ever brougt to this city. Mr.. Voss
says if the above statement is not cor
rect he will eat all the glassware in the
store.
'FIt IS not so very hard after all to
grow rich, remarks philosopher. at
is to trust nobody, is to befriend none,
to get everything and save all you get;
to stint ourselves and everybody belong
ing to US; to be the friend Of no man
and have no man for our friend; to heap
interest upon interest, cent upon cent;
to be mean, miserable and despised for
some thirty years, and riches will come
as sure as disease and disappointment.
And when pretty near enough wealth is
collected by disregard Of human heart,
at the expense of every enjoyment save
that of wallowing in filthy meanness,
death comes to finish the work-the
body is buried in hole, the heirs dance
over it, and the spirit goes-where."
There is no use talking about 1t
| but II. H Voss & Co. have Just received
a fine assortment Of glassware. Call
and see it.
