Miss Jessie jackson of PotOsi will be

Iowa, an iron bridge builder and con-
tractor. We do not know Mr.. H. but
we have known Jessie !rom the time she
with a dozen or more of Potosi's pref
test children made mp bright class
in the primary department of the
Potosi's schools, until she herself be-
ca me a teacher in pleasant country
school. We most cordially congratu-
late MIR. Hedges on his good fortune

lady for his bride.
Platteville Witness: Frank Croty. of
Argyle wealthy young man about p
years of age, was drowned at that place
Wednesday afternoon while in bathing.
One of the bathers went to his assistance
when the drowning man grabbed him
around the neck and nearly drowned
him also. Crowds of men have been
dragging the river. but the body has
not been recovered. and last nights
storm has swollen the stream so as TO
retard the work. He leaves wife and
one child.
Mt. Ida will celebrate on the Fourth
Mr.. Howe, of Boscobel, who has an
excellent reputation as all orator will
deliver the Grafton and the Lancaster
Band will furnish the music. Everyone
who attends this Celebration has 9
right to anticipate an unusually good
time. We can assure them of one thing
and tina; is that there will be no better
music this side of Madison than will bt
furnished by the Lancaster Band. Mt
Ida will be a capital place TO spend the
next Fonrth of July.
There is to be a first class Fourth o
July celebration at Cassville this year
and if the weather permits there will b,
one of the biggest gatherings ever seer
in West Grant. A capitol program il
arranged for the day. and there is NJ
prettier spot in the country for such {
celebration than the grove Just below
town. T. l., Cleary will deliver tn,
Grafton and there is a general good tim,
promised in the afternoon exercises
Cassville has a host of big hearted citi
zens who will make everybody welcome
Several new cross walks have beef
laid in different parts of the city, tn,
past week, which are very commendabl
Improvements considering the fact tina
they are better built than were the oil
ones, and are raised up out of the mud
During the past rainy weather all hav
had to wade through mud on these eros
walks which became covered in shor
time because they were lower than tn
grade of the street. If we are to hav
a continuation of wet weather. NOR
new cross walks would be decided,
acceptable.
That there will be lively deman,
for aid from the bridge fund at the mex
session of the Co. Board of Supervisor
is clearly apparent from reports comm!
in from the various towns. The new
iron bridge at McMahon's ford Of
Platte is ruined The one at King
ford is so unsafe that teams do no
cross on it; the one at Boyd's is still
safe but the water is washing around
the abutments; the Flora Fountain ant
Porter bridges are all right, but the on,
at McCartney's ford on grant is gore
If reports come in the same proportion
from other towns the usual bridge funt
won't reach half way round.
