town, owns a herd of forty-seven
cows I that yielded an average of
forty.four pounds of butter per day
last week. In addition to his dairy
ing, Mr.. Hoare prosecutes miscella.
neous farming, giving employment
thereon for two or three outside his
family, has several men engaged
in mining on his land, aud is also
half owner of the Mineral Point
creamery. Altogether he furnishes
employment to more men than any
other resident of his town, if not of
the county. A few more men as
enterprising as Mr.. Hoare would be
of great advantage to this com.
munity.
Tom BIsHops' experience, express
ed in his Volga Tribune, agrees with
that of every editor of a local paper.
He says:
"a newspaper man will sit up
nights and write something kind of
fellow citizen to help him along
or to extol local enterprise to help
it along, even when he may have
no personal friendship for or inter.
est either, and will pay out good
money to put his words in type, but
the persons who are benefited sci.
lon think of making return. at
tribrting the notice to their personal
greatness"
A NEWLY organized company is
hopeful Of draining a large tract
of land near Warren in which are
supposed to lie heavy bodies Of lead
ore. In fact, it is said that much
work has been done on these lands,
and at different points rich deposits
have beer found, but all under
volume of water that could not
be contended with except by power
ful pumps, which the new company
proposes to put in,
AN ingenious, daring, but unsuc-
oessful attempt was made to rob the
Edgerton bank during the noon
hour Tuesday of last week. The
robber got into an unoccupied room
over the bank, cut hole through
the floor and let himself down by .
rope into the bank. All money
being in the vault, however, ho got
nothing for his pains, and Chamber
ed out through the hole he came in
by, without discovery.
AN unusal number of small cities
are improving fire protection facil-
tiles at large cost, stimulated by the
| increased insurance rates. This
leads us again to inquire why the
property owners of Mineral Point
may not proftably organize there-
selAes into an insurance associationP
The money paid for premiums in
this city in ten years would make a
safe working capital. Something Of
the sort or expensive fire protection
seems to be required.
AS with one voice, all who attend
4 the entertainments by the Tallow
Candle Company last week pro-
nounced it the best company that
ever appeared before the footlights
in Mineral Point. Owing to mis-
understanding as to their coming
and other causes, the audiences were
not as large as the company deserved.
They have contracted to play here
during fair week, and are sure Of a
warm welcome on their return.
A DROP of SO degrees in the tenn.
perature-from go to 40--within "a
hours, and vigorous snow storm on
Friday morning, May 18th, were
unpleasant experiences. Light frosts
Friday and Saturday nights slightly
damaged tender vegetable plants
such as tomatoes, beans, cucumber
and sweet corn, but most of them
will survive.
BEFORE purchasing a carriage
buggy or spring wagon it will pay
you to write to Fitzgibbons Bros.
Of Monroe, Wis, for catalogue anc
price list, as they have no agents
but sell direct to the consumer at
wholesale prices. l3m5
