Chairman G. H. Baxter and some
others from this city went to Madison
Tuesday to hear Gov. VIM. Mckinley.
He spoke in the new University gymua-
SUM room, which gives standing space
for z, 200 people. All seats were taken
out, the room was packed aud still half
the people who came to hear could not
get in. Unbounded, deep-rooted en-
thusiasm prevailed and Gov. Mckinley
fully reached the expectations of his
hearers. Senator w. +. Villas so far
forgot himself as to ask the Governor
some few questions. He won't DO so
any more. Ii is not the first mistake
the senator eyer made.
Attorney S. c. Fuller is attending
court here this week. In speaking of
factories he said. ''Our pick
ling factory is great success Prai-
RE du Chen and vicinity is one vast
garden. which scarcely supplies the de-
mand. John Quallmsr, residing five
miles from our city, had a 500 mort
gage on his farm. He planted twenty
acres of cabbage, and sold the crop to
the picking establishment at S. per
ton, this paying off the mortgage in a
single season. This makes his cabbage
worth q cents per head. This is a good
showing for the worth of picking fac
tory to any community. 1t enables a
man with small piece of land to get
ss much out of his summers work as a
man with large farm is likely to do by
following the regular line of farming.
When the republican convention
nominated Mr.. Charles Churchill for
clerk of the court for Grant county
they made a most excellent nominal
ton. He is live man in the fullest
sense of the word, and has been hust-
ling ever since he was twelve years
old. His mother was left widow
when he was five years of age, and as
soon as he was able he began to help
with their farm work in
summer devoting the winter to school
work By his own efforts as farm
laborer and a teacher he creditably
finished the full course at the State
Normal school at Platteville, gradual
ing in 1889. Since then he has been
in high school work, and for
the last three years has had charge of
the Cassville schools. The excellent
in which they are speaks
volumes for Mr.. Churchill's industry
and ability There can be no ques-
tion of his ability or that he will make
a genial efficient and obliging Off Ger,
for ne is just that kind of man
