L. Tarbel: is shingling and fin
ishing up his wood shed.
EOld Mrs. Lafontise is having
an addition built on to the house
occupied by A. D. Cater and
family.
IL. R. Mallette has been APP
pointed treasurer Of the. town Of
Milo, to take the place Of G.. T.
johnson, resigned.
Mr.. Williams, the new depot
agent, is gentlemanly appearing
fellow and seems to understand his
business. He is a brother to C. E.
Williams, of Mora.
( A leap year ball at Mallette's
hall, Friday night Of last week,
was well attended and good time
is reported. Several couples from
Milaca were present.
Decoration day was, scarcely OBJ
served in Foreston. A few flags
floating at half mast were the
only evidences noticeable. A
good many spent the day in
Princeton.
The village has been over-run
with accident and life insurance
agents during the past week.
They seem to take it for granted
that the inhabitants need a good
deal Of protection lately.
G, I. Johnson came up from
FRICTION, last Thursday evening,
to square up his business with the
village and resign the office of
president Of the council. e. N.
Bacon was appointed to fill the
vacancy.
e. N. Bacon has Just completed
a good cellar under his house.
The floor and wall Of the cellar are
Of brick with heavy coating Of
cement over that. He has also
builta new wood shed and made
other improvements around his
dwelling.
People should never for a mo-
ment forget that a person can be
poor and still possess all the
virtues Of responsibility. Honest
working people can be just as re-
spectacle as those who imagine
themselves a.little above the level
of common folks.

AMERICAN Economists: Ask a
lawyer if he would like all those
engaged in other occupations or
professions to become LAWYERS and
compete with him, and he will
quickly answer no. Ask a mer-
chant whether he would not be
glad to see all those who are now
manufacturers or importers change
their business and become mer-
chants, too, and he will speedily
express his disapprobation of any
such scheme. Yet the free traders
want to make us a nation of agri-
culturists, and they ask a farmer
to hail with joy system that
would transform all those who are
now his customers into competi-
tors.

fountain of enthusiasm [applause] !;
a year in which the people call for
man who has preserved in con
gress what our soldiers won upon
the field (cheers); a year in which
we call for the man who has torn
from treason the tongue of SANDER
(applause); man that has
snatched the mask OF Democracy
from the hideous face of rebellion;
a man who, like an intellectual
athlete, stood in the arena of de-
bate, challenged all corners, and
who up to the present moment is a
total stranger to defeat. CAP

Blaine marched down the halls of
the American congress and threw
his shining lance full. and fair
against the brazen forehead of

there are 3D. 900 millionaires in the
