Exchange.
THERE is surprise in store for
every attendant at the fair who has
not been in our city for a year.
What? Why the growth and i'm
provements to be seen on every hand.
AT the Nj. Z. church tomorrow
Rev. S. r. Chubb will occupy the
pulpit in the morning, and in the
evening Rev. w. M. Balch will
speak to the young people on the
subject, "Finding." This will be
the second of his series on "Seeking
the Kingdom"
AT the dairy board of trade meet
ing last Wednesday the market
proved the dullest experienced for
the season-S4c. a. sgc. being the
leading figures. OF the $4,000 lbs.
of cheese on sale about one-half was
held back for raise. Next meet
ing of board on Wednesday, Sept. 7.
A SPECIAL attraction at the fair
on Wednesday afternoon will be the
oratorical contest for the silver med
ais offered. Already seven have en-
tered to compete for the prizes. Be
on hand early and hear all. You
will be well entertained, and no
doubt surprised at the great ability
of the contestants.
The Monroe Milk Condeusiug
factory has shipped five car loads
during this month. The company
at the first of July had about $4o,-
600 worth of milk on hand. Their
summer trade this year is better
than previous year and indicates
steady advance in favor of the milk.
The exeursionists to Denver have
been returning in twos, threes and
fours until all are home. They re-
port very pleasant time, but are
more satisfied with Badgerdom than
ever. The evidence of prosperity
in and the natural grandeur of Wis
consin come up to that of any
state in the Union.
THE II. NJ. church ladies are to
have charge of the dining hall on
the fair grounds, which means that
good, substantial meals are assured.
25 cents is the price; 10 cents for
children. So don't leave the grounds
if hungry, as it will not be neces-
sary, from either the point of salts
faction or cheapuess.
TO MISS the Mineral Point fair
for the purpose of taking in any
other would prove mistake. Our
fair will be held next week.
Thousands of dollars are offered in
premiums. There will be a display
of the best stock the world affords.
Don't miss this display; and besides
there will be thousands of grand
and beautiful things on exhibition
in the various other departments.
IMPORTATION has reached friends
in this city to the effect that on the
evening of the 18th inst. Mr.. Rufas
Hooking and Miss Fannie Trebilcock
were married at Englewood. Min
eral Point being the place of
nativity of both parties to this con-
tract, here are to be found many
who trust they will realize to the
fullest happy and successful
matrimonial career.
ALL first premium articles among
cereals and other imperishable farm
produce at the Mineral Point fair
will be reserved and sent to the state
board of worlds fair commissioners,
to be used by them in selecting the
exhibit for Wisconsin at Columbian
exposition next year. The articles
will be properly labeled with owners
name and other dates, and will re-
tain their individuality at Chicago.
