Business men of Mineral Point, don't
let the political issues, or any other
issues, take up so much Of your time
and attention that you fail to arrange
for regular monthly sales or fairs in
this city. We have heard from farm
ers and others such a general and
unanimous expression of confidence in
the project, that we know it is good
one and should be put into practice.
The proper thing to do is to take hold
of this matter at once, and open the
business campaign before the political
campaign becomes too engrossing.
