LOOK ont for choice and novel
holiday goods at the Cash Grocery
House. r.. J. Penhallegon, Jr., has
been in Chicago this week for that
purpose.
WHE temperance lecture at Bethel
church in Waldwick last Saturday
evening, by Rev. Simpkin, was
largely attended The general YER
dict is that the lecture was among
the best ever delivered on that sub,
jeet in that section.

of the Eastern Star, will be held on
Wednesday evening, Dee. I'd; there

The help extended the TRIBUNE
this week by its neighbor, the Dem
ocrat, was timely and is duly appre-
ciated. With the publisher indis-
posed and all the force ont because
of sickness, it would have been
difficult to accomplish what has
been done without such favors.
THE Trinity Episcopal church
was lighted by electricity last Sun
day. The light was good and gave
universal satisfaction. 1t is be-
lieved that the time is not far dis
tant when all the other churches
will enjoy the same luxury. The
only expense is the wiring, the Zinc
Works agreeing to furnish the
light free.
AT the p. M. church tomorrow
Rev. S. r. Chubb will preach at
1890 and 700. Morning subject,
"Hungering for Egypt; or, the Folly
of Thinking that the World has
Seen Better Days" Evening sub
iect, "Belshazzar's Feast" Owing
to the weather last Sunday this SER
mon was postponed till tomorrow,
and is the first of the series on
night events as recorded in the
Bible, that Mr.. Chubb intends de.
livering on future Sunday evenings.
THE electric light is proving a
grand success, giving our little city
metropolitan airs. 1t is something
Mineral Point should have had
years ago, and would if the press of
the city had been needed. But
there's no need of harping on the
shortsightedness of the past. We've
got the lights now, and the best OF
the kind to be had, and there is
good cause for rejoicing. Being
on the wave of improvement it is
hoped there will be no let up, but
that the spirit of progress will keep
constantly to the front in Mineral
Point.
An icy seal has been put upon
things, and summer is at discount.
Last Monday night cold wave
swept over the country in general
causing the thermometer to drop
within close range of zero. Froat
has held off later than usual this
fall, perhaps owing to the drouth
and a consequent lack of sap in
stem and leaf. In this immediate
vicinity more rain than snow has
been dealt out within the last ten
days than further north and west,
where snow has fallen in liberal
quantities. In consequence the
earth has been somewhat benefited,
sufficient to encourage the farmers.
WITH numerous illustrations
showing modern dinner.table
beautifully decorated, a diagram of
how to set it, and also each course
separately, and describing in a
and explicit way every
detail of appointments and service
and the tbousand-and-one "little"
things that are essential to the sue
cess Of such an entertainment, is
one of the attractions Of the Dec
