"THE world will be improved
when a man has learned to laugh
little less at his neighbor's troubles
and little more at his own"
THE Willow Springs p. NJ. Sun
day school picnic, which is usually
held the first Thursday in June,
has, on account Of unfavorable
weather, been put off until June the
23rd.
WHAT a difference between this
and last spring. Last year lilacs
had bloomed and nearly all blown
away before Memorial Day but this
year it is doubtful if they will have
bloomed by that time.
EVERY citizen should make some
special effort in the observance of
Memorial Day, for the reason that
the orator being the Dept. Chaplain
it become his duty to report the
result officially. We want Mineral
Point to be to the front, don't we?
A LETTER from Will Ralph, who
is now at Silver Plume, Colo, aud
is partaking OF health and prosper.
ity to a fair degree, says in conclu-
sion: 81 can't haul you any wood
this lime on account of bad roads,
so YOU win please accept the cash"
If the city marshal is subject to
the command Of the city fathers at
all times, at stated monthly salary
for thus holding himself in readi-
ness, why should he not cover into
the city treasury all of the dog tax
collected by him? The treasury can
stand ii to an advantage.
AT both services at the p. NJ .
church tomorrow Rev. S. Il. Chubb
will occupy the pulpit Morning
subject: "Another Year, or the
anniversary Of my pastorate in Min
eral Point" The baccalaureate
sermon will be preached in the eve
nlng to the graduating class.
EVERY citizen should heartily CO.
operate with Mayor Cobb in his
determination to thoroughly cleanse
and purify the city. His action is
more vigorous than has been dis
played here for years, and if Min
eral Point is not classed as one Of
the healthiest spots on the face of
the earth it will not be his fault.
AT the meeting of the dairy
board of trade last Saturday, JAS.
Waters resignation as secretary and
treasurer was accepted and J. B.
Wallis elected IN his stead The
board will meet again the Sth of
June at p. m. and have in readi-
ness lot of good cheese for sale.
After that date a meeting will be
held every other Wednesday, at
the U. S. Hotel sample room, the
use of which has been rendered
free of charge.
THERE is an exceptional pleasure
in meeting with friends and ac-
quaintances of years gone by. Such
was our experience this week upon
shaking hands with DR.. WILDER,
who is here from Colora DO, and Mr..
Chas. Curry, now of California.
Both of these gentlemen were for
many years honored citizens of
Mineral Point, place which is to
them still dear. Their sojourn here
will be brief, but we are confident
it will prove exceedingly pleasant,
as every old-timed acquaintance is
determined to have it that way.
FROM the Sunday Mail Of Pitts
burg, Kan, it is readily conceived
that the knights Of Pythias mad a
grand, gala time at that city last
week. 1t was the annual session Of
the Grand Lodge. In the same
issue of the Mail was a large life
like portrait of Frank w. Lanyon,
formerly Of this city, as Grand
Treasurer of the Grant Commandery
knights Templar Of Kansas, and in
another column Franks name was
hoisted for State Senator. Here is

worth Of Mineral Points sons
