Mineral Point tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1869-1938, 1892-07-30

young and old to use care when
overheated.
GENEROUS Wright Clayton and
the busy bee have done something
for the TRIBUNE this season that
will long be remembered with
gratitude. The honey supply we
have through this source is large
and of the first quality.
The Pleasant View picnic will be
held Wednesday, August 3, in Ed
Dunn's grove q miles east of Min
eral Point. All are cordially invited.
Revs. Cape, Chubb, James and
Allen are expected to be present.
If it should be rainy Wednesday il
will be held on Thursday.
Thus far the campaign is being
agitated by the small boy, who
carries his political preferences on
his head. Two parties are only
represented in the boys caps, viz;
Republican and Democrat. The
third and fourth parties have not
shown up yet in this manner.
AS busy as a bee hive the old
p. M. church lot is now looking
from the Main street. A large body
of men are now working in the diff
ferent departments of labor having
any bearing on pulling down an
old church or building a new one.
The foundation looks splendidly,
and shows to onlookers the size the
new one will be. A credit most
surely to all concerned.
THE oldest inhabitant does not
remember when moth-millers and
moths were so thick, as now. This
has doubtless been caused by the
great amount of wet weather. I'm
disturbed and poorly lighted apart.
ments have been oyerrun with these
pests, and much damage has re-
suited. Dealers in woolen goods
have to be necessarily doubly
vigilant.
KEEP hot inside and as cool as
practicable outside. This is simple,
common-sense advice for the pre-.
vention of sunstrokes. Drink not
water and you will be cooler than if
you drink cold water, for every pore
will be opened and the sensation Of
oppressiveness will go. Do not
flood the stomach with cold drinks
and so invite debility. Give it hot
drinks, which stimulate it.
ACCORDING to his home paper
Mr.. Babcock, the aspirant for con
gresham, from Juneau county, is
now sanguine of Iowa county'e
support at the convention. He may
possibly get it; but let's wait until
the delegates are chosen. Those
who promise anything of this nature
| in advance generally find it difficult
to deliver their goods. They are
| the fellows the honest partisans aim
to leave at home.
THE Tower HillSummerA Assembly

are some things done in school
that tend to make the pupils vain

flying the closing Of grammar 0.
high school by calling it 'com
mencement' is one of them. Th'
speeches made on these occasions by
officials and politicians generally
produce an undesirable effect. The.
