Mrs. c. |. PHILLIPs, of Lake
View, Iowa, who has been visiting
with relativ es in this vicinity for
about a month, left for home last
Tuesday, accompanied by her sister
inlaw, Miss Lille Phillips.
IMPROVEMENT have been made
this @week in Adam Dresen's tail
oring establishment. The front
room looking out on High street
has been remodeled, newly painted
and papered, and will now be used
as business Office and cutting de-
partment.
HAVING corralled everything in
sight in the coal, vegetable, and egg
market, the bloated monopolist is
now endeavoring to corner the
succulent bivalve. This latest ont
rage on the church festival should
receive swift and condign punish
ment
ABOUT this time travelling is te-
dious and tipovers frequent in the
country, owing to the great amount
of snow and drifts, and besides if
you pull off the main packed road
in ordinary places you 90 down
suddenly into nearly two feet of
soft snow.
FRED SHEPARD, of course we all
know him, has been enjoying him
self among old friends and asso-
ciates here this week. He is at
present running a marble works at
Viroqua, and while he is not ac-
cumulating great fortune, says
that his business might be worse.
SOME people are thoughtlessly
violating the ordinance by emptying
ashes in the street. There is a good
reason for forbidding this practice
in the winter season as it interferes
with the sleighing. A mud hole
in the summer is not as bad an
obstruction in the road as an ash
pile in the winter.
AFTER spending several weeks
among relatives and friends here,
Mr.. Geo. w. Leavitt has departed
for his home in California, with
intentions of stopping while en-
route at Los Angeles for brief
visit among relatives there. Mr..
Leayitt has gone from our midst
leaving many friends wishing him
a safe and pleasant journey,
PROF. A. L. DAY will remain in
the city only one week. Do not
fail to call on him at the United
States Hotel, if you have any
trouble with your eyes. He uses
only mild, soothing and healing
remedies in the treatment of eye
diseases in place of the harsh,
irritating medicines used in years
gone by. Prof. Day performs the
operations for cataract, cross eyes,
ptrygium, tearduct distractions, &c,
without the use of ohloroform or
ether, with little or no pain.
Darlington Journal: David Jones
Of Belmont was robbed of $50 and
some clothing by bold burglars the
other night. His wife was away
and when he went home late in the
evening the thieves were in poss-
ession Of the house. They bound
David hand and foot, went through
his pockets and then put him in his
little bed, covering him so that he
would not suffer from cold. 1t is
surmised by some that the rogues
are Plattevilians.
AN ex.soldier who was in the
southwest in January 1864 has been
keeping track of the weather there
this year and finds the cold then
and now identical, with the ex-
ception that it is three days later
this year, and says his letters from
home in 1864 indicate that "the
weather here was then as near like
what we have had during the past
three or four weeks as two peas,
with the exception of more wind
on New Year day in '64." The re-
mark had the effect of setting
some old residents to thinking and
