FoR the first time business houses
of Platteyille were lighted by cleo

A HOLE drilled to test the water
supply for the pulp mills is about
150 feet deep with water within a
foot of the surface. 1t is all in the
sand. This is a remarkably good
supply considering the low state of
water just at this time.
PERRY TIFT made a remarkable
discovery on his farm near Mazom-
anie recently. He found an old hen
and thirteen young chickens occu-
pying a nest in which a cat and five
kittens had also taken quarters.
They were all nestled up as slick as
bug in rug.

The TRIBUNE is of the opinion that
drivers and jockeys should be held

in Mineral Point, was timely and
aided greatly in swelling the attend

that would not have been represents

OF field and garden product exhi-
bited at the fair in this city,
properly label the same, together
with any particular conditions IN
