II
CARDS announce that OH Dec, 3lst
Mr.. John M. Parkinson, son of Prof.
j. b. Parkinson, of Madison, will wed

the late Moses NJ. Strong, of this city.
THE Iowa County Teachers asso-
citation, which held its first meet
| ing at Dodgeville last Saturday, was
represented by the following Miner
al Point teachers: Prof. Jolly, w. j.
Hammil, and the Misses O'Dowd,
Cummings, McCabe and Schaum-
berg.
In some towns custom prevails
of giving all pupils of the public
schools free sleigh ride during the
early days of winter. Wouldn'ti it be
nice to get our 800 pupils into sleds
on fine afternoon and take them on
an excursion to the county farm and
return.
FRUITS and confectionery are al
ways necessary to the happiness of
the family at Christmas time, and
the best is never too good. Hendra
Bros, have made special provision
to meet this want by securing a
large assortment of extra fine can
dies, nuts and fresh fruit. 80
DIR. CLARKE is back from his trip
west, which was for business, pleasure
and health. His gain in weight is
twenty pounds and that in spirits
correspondingly good. The doctor
assures us that the wife question
failed to entertain him anything like
it did his friends.
ATTENDANTS at the M. f. ehnrch
last Sunday We're favored to hear, as
part of the services both morning
and evening, the rich contralto voice
or Miss Florence Avery, Of Galena,
in we'll chosen solos, and in the even
ing an additional pleasant feature
was a fine solo by Mr.. J. d. Walker,
who always captures an audience by
his rich tenor voice.
MIR. JOHN O'Dowp received a tele-
gram yesterday announcingthe death
of Mrs. Libbie Moore, wife of Capt.
D.B. Moore,of Chicago. Deceased was
a niece Of Geo. w. Bliss. founder Of
the TRIBUNE, and well known in
| this city and about PlattevIlle, where
her early life was spent. Capt.
Moore has the sympathy Of large
circle of army comrades and other
friends among our readers.
| CONGRESSMAN BABCGCK notifies
us that the TRIBUNE has been placed
on list to be favored with copy of
the daily issue Of the Congressional
Record. The intended kindness is
appreciated, but with facilities for
learning the important actions of
congress daily, and having no time
to follow voluminous, unimportant
details, we find little use for the
Record.
AFTER scanning the reports Of
county board proceedings, as printed
in papers of other counties, 1t is a
matter of congratulation to the peo-
pie, the board and the printers of
Iowa county to be able to say that the
report of proceedings in this county
is more comprehensive, better pre-
sented as to arrangement and print
lug, and at less cost proportioned to
extent of publication, than in any Of
our neighbor counties.
OK viewing our city by daylight
one would think it model OF sobri-
ETY. and decorum; but under the
electric lights between II and II at
night different impression would
be had. Some who are on the black
list, and others who should be on it,
are then to be seen struggling with
"jags" of immense proportions. The
song, aOh, what a difference in the
morning should be changed for our
city to "Oh, what difference in the
evening
A sLEIGH-LoAD Of Dodgeyille
yopag folks visited our city last Sat
urday, made up as follows: Ina
Roberts, Carrie Bishop, Winnie
Waddington, Mollie Stewards, Jennie
Bishop, Florence Miller, Della Ellin-
gen, Blanch Tresedder, Geo. Miller,
Arthur strong, Archie Smoker, Rob.
Roberts, Rob. Jones, Chas. Bishop,
Frank Roberts. They evidently en-
joyed themselves to the full. They
merited a. much, at least, as their
conduct was that Of ladies and
gentlemen.
A RECENT letter from friend ask
ing the editor to form link in pro-
posed achain Of letters" suggests
that that chimericaI scheme still
finds adherents. Suppose you start
by askinga friend to gi.e you l0cents,
and that friend to get three others to
do the same, each Of the three
friends III that friend tO do like
