Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1891-12-19

been bout as bad as they could be
for fortnight or more. We noticed
a buggy just from the country one
day last week the spokes of which
were hardy discernable. The mud
would weigh more than the vehicle.
"MANY a boy ruins his character
and wrecks all his hopes by mis-
employing the evening hours.
School or business has confined him
all the day, and the rebound with
which his elastic nature throws
theses duties off carries him almost
unawares beyond the limits both of
propriety and prudence"
For anything choice in clothing
for men or boys, for gents furnish
ing goods, etc, call on A. G. Del
Ter, the leader. Prices way down.
No need of going cold. Al
IT has been computed that be-
tween 35,OOo,ooo and 100000
babies are born into the world each
year, or about seventy per minute.
A line of cradles containing them
would extend around the world I'M
broken, but the silence would be
broken in several places.
WHAT next? A "what is it' of
Boston has issued a challenge to
smoke more cigarettes in an hour
than any person in America, for a
purse of $3.50. His record is thirty
wo in one hour. 1t would be an
act of kindness to imprlson such
creatures until entirely weaued from
the habit.
J. A. SPRATLER has a large stock
Of fancy Christmas candy and will
not be undersoId by any one; all
goods warranted to be strictly pure.

If some of the eighteen feet of
snow that is impending traffic in
Colorado had fallen in the vicinity
of Mineral Point it would nave
given welcome stimulous to
Christmas tide. With the prevail
ing fall weather and bare, rough
roads, old Santa Claus, with his
sleigh and reindeer team, seems to
be finding it difficult to get around.
Do NOT 60 cold when you can
buy woolens so cheap at Gundry,
Gray 81 Co.'s They have also a
large supply of the Mineral Point
Woolen Mills flannel on hand.
AT the p. NJ. church tomorrow
morning Rev. Chubb will preach |
from the text, "Voices from Gadara"
In the evening his subject will be,
"The midnight prayer-meeting in
the Jail, and the effect it had" This
is the fifth of a series Of lectures
on night events Of the Bible. No. |
5 Gospel Hymns used at the night |
service.
II is the opinion of the TRIBUNE |
that it would be a good investment
for some private individual to erect
in Mineral Point a commodious and |
modern city or public hall. Such a
structure is greatly needed here,
and the coming presidential cam
palgn will, as have other campaigns
and events Of late years, demand it. /
The expense need not be large. Its
seating capacity should be from
500 to 1000
