NOTES FROM OTHER TOWNS.
What Our N.ighbors Are Doing. Letters
from Our Regular Correspondents.
Cuba Civ.

In Il notes on the town last week
NE omitted TO mention the fact that
we have a real ike newspaper. the
Cuba City News, which is the case
AID * run by enterprising and ener-
getic men.
Harvest Is now in fun blast. Oats
are very short but the berry i reason
ably plamp but viii not compare with
last year, crop. The hard freeze in
May followed by the continued dry
weather was TOO much for the crop.
Scarcely any hay will be cut in the
township. Pastures are giving out
aud farmers are selling their stock 70
shippers. Joseph Harris, Jr.. ship
ped I've carloads of cows, calves
vearlings and Two wear olds to Chica-
go last week and will have several
more this week.
A sad case OF dre aning in the Mis-
sissippi occurred on Saturday the 9th
inst. A party Of young men from
Louisburg went in bathing neal kim
balls park and one. a young man by
the name Of Folz. who was in charge
of the Louisbprg creamery, waded in
10 the deep water and being unable 70
swim. went down. Frank Burns Of
jamestown in attempting to say him
came very neal DOSING his own life.
All who cannot swim should keep out
OF the Mississippi river.
We notice that the Grant County
News in common with other demo-
cratic organs Is anxious rs To who
will be the candidate for president
next year on the republican ticket
and predicts that candidates in that
party will be very scarce in 90.
Don't worry neighbor. We won't
need but one and there will be plenty
of good men from which to select
and whoever he may be he VIII beat
the democratic candidate clear out OF
his boots. Republicans are not we'd
died to any one man like the demo-
Gratis are 20 the ..stuffed prophet
True. the majority of them hate him
as they do poison but al the sane
time are afraid of him and dare not
mention any other name for president.
The News also tells US that Mckinley
was highly pleased at the course Of
tIC lNbNbAAGdu league tOHNGlLAOi III
keeping mum on the silver question,
etc. Now while we don't believe the
News knows anything about what
will please or displease Mckinley, we
will say that the republican party
has no occasion to howl or get up a
fight over the silver questions; that
little pleasantly it will leave to the
democrats. Its position on silver and
all other questions is outlined in its
platform of 1892 on which it still
stands. Unlike the democratic party
it does not put forth one set of princi-
ciples one year and another the next.
but stands firm for honest money and
protection to home industries. The
democrats forced the issue of tariff on
the country in 80 and having carried
the election and got everything in
their own hands, made a complete
failure in running the government
and now to cover up their blunders
and draw attention from their work
they shout free silver. A bare mem
ton OF tariff to a democrat is like
shaking a red flag at a bull. True.
with a deficit in the revenues Of So
000,0eo last year and upwards Of $43.-
100000 this year, a balance Of trade
against us IN May last Of $S4 900, 900
and an increase Of the public lebt in
the last fiscal year OF upwards OF $131-
GOO. 600, the tariff question is not a
pleasant subject with them for dis
cussion but they will be held re-
sponsible for it and not be allowed to
dodge it. Try again neighbor News,
and if you wan pointers on Mckinley
call on the sage OF Lima who will be
glad to help you out. AG1TAToR.
