your clothers ON a hickory limb,

Ar one stage Of the state conven-
tion session there was strong reason
TO hope that the nomination of s.
w. Reese for attorney general
would be accomplished. At least a
large vote for him was surely OBJ
tainable. For the different result
unwisdom on the part of his imme-

THIS is the sixth week without
rain in Mineral Point, and as CON
sequence gardens are complete
failure except where the watering
pot has been freely used. Wit hin
few miles on all sides of us, no w

and farm crops generally are better
than would seem possible from !,
purely local view.

her reason, she replied: " Well,
dear, it has great deal of bras 5

not remarkably brilliant, requires a
good deal of attention, is somewhat
unsteady on its legs, liable to ex-
plode when half full, flares up oc.
casionally, is always out at bedtime,
and is bound to smoke"

was the guest Of honor, and the
gathering made to serve a double
purpose.
JAMES REMFREY was with the
band for practice Tuesday evening,
and his tuba notes were noticeable.
Leader Dresen and the band mem
bers hope that Mr. Remfrey will re-

competent, and should be patronized
in preference to any perlpatetlc
nnrofaasor,i ! n the same line.
