people through the country where he i:
q welcome guest.
In leaving Dit. Hope, | took u trir
over the broad prairie land, on which
are situated many beautiful farms, to-
ward the little village of
PATCH GROVE.
This place is situated in a hollow in
the western part of the county. just of
the border of Blake's Prairie, and is a
thriving little town. In this place |
met some people that hsve never had
the pleasure of meeting before. and
these were some gentlemen who never
read newspaper from one years end
to another" Readers must excuse me
for being forward in mentioning this
fact. but the people it is meant for will
never see it, for the reason that a paper
does not enter their home. and hence
feel perfectly safe, if do not carry
life insurance policy.
Some of the enterprising people of
Patch Grove, are endeavoring to get
newspaper started in their midst. | am
glad to SEE that some of the people
there, think enough of their town to try
and induce such an establishment in
their midst, but at the same time my
sympathy will be with the editor who
has erough courage TO start another
paper IA Grant County, who must GER
tainiy live from the 'pi' of his own
office.
The leading business men of Patch
Grove are: VIM. Wcffsnden, who keeps
large and well filled store of general
merchandise; Robt. Collier, general mer-
chandise; G. Gee, the genial harness
maker and grocer, who enjoys a large
patronage; mine host. II. Whitmore,
keeps the only hotel in the city and en-
joys large patronage; Ed. Patch is
postmaster, and jolly old gentlemen
one finds him to be, he is the right man
in the right place, civil. courteous and
obliging; Frank Knlb, banker; Alex
Robertson and Frank England, are the
| two jolly blacksmiths, who are always
willing to give stranger the best talk
| they can afford; Jno. Philips, former
Lancaster boy, is now running a wagon
shop here, and enjoys large trade.
John is good fellow, steady and indus
trious, and his many friends will be
pleased to learn of his success; {. ID.

building in the place. was escourted
through the factory by Mr.. Soule, from
top to bottom. On the ground floor
will be found the creamery, with its
large tanks and churns, of The latest
patterns, the next floor is the cheese de
partment, where there are numerous
rows of large cheeses, on shelves, and
when sample of the cheese was given
to ye hungry typo, it is needless 10 saw
that found plenty of room for it and
can testify to the fact that MIR. Soule
makes the best cheese that can be found
anywhere in Southwestern Wisconsin.
BY this time it WAS growing dusk and |
retreated toward Mt. Hope, where
spent the night In my last weeks
