Cuba City.

Not having noticed anything in
your paper from this place, we
thought we would let the people in
different parts OF the country who
are your readers know that we have
a bustling. lively little town in this
corner of the country. The post
office was originally Cuba City but
last winter the department for some
reason took off the City part, leaving
it plain Cuba, but as a railroad sta
ton and express office, it is still the
full name. The mercantile interests
OF the place are represented by three
lively and enterprising firms: r. A.
Wilson & Co, Hendricks & Harris and
r. B. Lucky. Wilson & Co buy and
ship stock and grain, Hendricks 6
Harris handle stock and both firms
deal in machinery, buggies, wagons.
etc. There are two hardware stores
ru by VIM. II. Pascoe and II. H.
Fielder; a furniture and undertaking
establishment by John Kenney; two
drug stores by f. A. Florine and r.
II. Kittoe. The boot and shoe MAX
ing is attended TO by Phillip Grimm.
who has lately put up a fine building
on Main street. the lower part of
which he uses for work shop and store
and carries a fine line of shoes. VIM.
Mitchell runs a wagon-making and
repair shop and Thos. Mitchell a
blacksmith shop. There are two
steam feed mills. one new. in which
is a complete set of rollers for grind
ing fine corn meal, graham, rye and
buckwheat flour. For the accomoda-
ton of the travelling public there are
two hotels, the North Western by
Mrs. Brewer and the Banfield House
by Mike Bantield. Mccormack and
Eustace deal exclusively in grain,
stock and machinery and have as fine
a warehouse as can be found in the
country. Two livery stables are run
by VIM. Murray and Albert Eustace;
the tonsorial line is run by Albert
Andrews, who has a neat barber and
confectionery shop combined. The
medical department is looked after
by Doctors Ed Mcdonald and T. l..
Edwards and the law, fire and life
insurance business by S. f. Smallev
and Chas. Dent, two enterprising
young sprigs anxious to show their
legel prowess wherever opportunity
offers. For the accommodation OF

The 4th passed away nicely at this
place and was enjoyed by all who at
tended. The Christian Temperance
League held a picnic near by where
song and recitations were INDUCED in
after which a bountiful dinner was
set out beneath the shady oaks. The
only failure to speak of was in being
disappointed in the after dinner
speaker, g. II. Irish, who did not put
in his appearance. Rev. John Harris
made a short address saying that any
day in the year was Just as much in
the sight of God as the 4th of July
and that he cared little for a 4th of
July Grafton, and after a few remarks
about King George-his good quail
ties, etc, he left us to draw our own
conclusions as we gazed upon the
starry banner that waved vigorously
above our heads. Miss Mae Dinsdale
read the Declaration of independence.
Miss Gertie Dixon read a poem EMIT
led Bunker Hill" in which she dis
played remarkable eloquence. The
doll drill, and the song, Red, White
and Blue by the little boys were well
rendered. Quite a number from Fem
nimore. Montfort and Animation were
in attendance. A display of fire
works took place in the evening and
sky rockets shot like blazing comets
off into the other worlds.

Don't tell another fellow to ride YOUR
wheel as you wish to see how he rides.
Don't ride down hill on a treacherous

expect to run in the sand.

iltAt SEEMS ~ HdAt HoNn since W
last laid down Il pen. and the grand
celebration about which there was SO
much talk is a thing of the past.
The day was a perfect one and Mt
10 a. m. the procession started FOR
the grove. The States were repre-
scented by little girls. the Goddess by
Miss Heilermann. We doubt if there
is another town in the county that
can boast OF a lovely a Goddess as
Monda made. Uncie sam was repre-
sented by Mr.. Bum, Martha and
George Washington BIZ Name Green
and Douglas Welsh. When they ar
rived at the grove Mr.. c. r. Show
alter delivered the Grafton. Mr..
Showalter is an able orator and his
speech was neither tiresome or
lengthy and all he said was 10 the
point. Nor did he abuse the foreign
countries as did the orator one Of our
neighboring towns engaged. The
next vas the reading of the Declara-
ton of independence by Miss Lulu
Ryan. This was followed by a picnic
dinner which every one enjoyed. The
Bloomington band furnished some ex-
cellent music during the day but we
came to the conclusion that the
Bloomington people didn't care much
about their band or else were afraid
they would make a failrre as very
few Of them came down. In the af-
ternoon an open air concert took
place, also a game of base ball be-
tn+aan C,+tanb n,,. r ood Moth X,lo,.
er. Oh yes, the North Andover bows
were beaten but they took it all in
good part since they believe in the
old adage IF at first you don't sue
coed try, try again In the evening
there was a dance in the Metropolis
hall which was largely attended, there
being n hundred and twenty-one
numbers. So taking it all in all we
think everything went off as well as
it did in Lancaster with one excep-
tion and that is that Lancaster can
boast of a scrap having taken place
between two of its leading citizens
and North Andover cannot.
Miss Addie Bushnell and Mr.. James
Hillary drove to Lancaster Wednes-
day and were united in marriage.
They returned Thursday. They are
not in North Andover at present but
the boys are anxiously waiting their
return so that they can serenade them
in the usual way.
Once again the cloud of sorrow
hovers over this place and it wa with
the deepest feeling that the people Of
this village heard of the sad death of
Mr.. Edward FLYNN which occurred
Saturday at the home of his daught-
er, Mrs. Chas. Winner. During Mr..
Flynn's illness of eight weeks he was
carefully cared for by loving friends.
The only relative he leaves is his
daughter, Mrs. Winner. his wife hav-
died three years ago. The funeral
took place July sth; Rev. Rossbach
Of Cassville conducted the services.
His body was inferred in the Catholic
cemetery near Glen Haven. The he
reaved daughter has the sympathy of
the community in her deep sorrow.
The many friends of Miss Mae
Birch are pleased to have her again
in their midst.
Miss Nellie DOLPHIN returned from
Glen Haven last Saturday.
