Hon. J. w. REwEY had busi-
ness call to Mineral Point on
Wednesday, and says that in his %
years acquaintance with the roads

present. The usual route of travel
is impossible; roundabout ways
have to be taken.
TARANTULABs are being found in
banana lunches quite frequently by
merchants in this section. They
are very poisonous species of the
spider family, and it would be a

bananas in the bunch to "look a

a CHICAGO man was in Galena
the other day looking for a place to
start factory for making good
butter out of any poor kind. 1t
seems to us that locality for that
purpose might readily be found,
where plenty of material could be
had to work upon. SO thinks the
Shullsburg Pick and Cad.
Prolific rains aud high water
have retarded work on the pulp
mill buildings, but progress is never

apparently inaugurated, work will
be pushed vigorously. Completion
and operation of the mills by early
autumn may be confidently an
ticipated.
