NOTES FROM OTHER TOWNS.
Arthur.

Arthur has got move on il at last and it
IS infectious, spreading to the surrounding
country. It broke ont with Jud Do5son
moving from Rewey to the burg where he
had purchased lots and erected a comfort
able home, and has now become an owner of
realty and taxpayer. Next Arch Deitz-
man moved to Livingston. MI Fisher to
Platteville: VIM. watson to the house va
Gated by Fisher: Bert Cushman of Rewey
to the house vacated by Watson: :. T.Basye
to Iowa and Mrs. McReynolds occupies his
place. Fred Nodolf and bride will occupy
the farm vacated by Mrs McReynolds. whose
son-in-law Fred has recently become. Mr..
Whitney will move in the spring to Mifiin
and Mr.. Dietzman will move to the farm
which Mr., Whitney now occupies. These are
the only disquieting effects produced upon
our c immunity by the allure of Il e oy Or
ator of the Platte in moving to the White
house.
The election passed off very quietly CON
servatively and satisfactory, creating
scarcely a ripple because with US it was en-
tirely jug handle affair. Reputation met
with no responsive voice whatever in Arthur
or vicinity
Corn picking is drawing to close with
generallarge yield and a scarcity OF hands
TO handle it.
s. " Basye one Of Arthur's Oldest and re-
spected citizens who sold his farm one year
ago 20 c. Fawcett and j. Hillary has sold
his homestead to Mrs. McBeyAolds. widoy
of Arthur's pioneer merchant ana post-
master and with his wife Will make their
homewith their daughter Fanny Brown at
Grinneu. Iowa. The church and Sunday
school Will lose one Of its strongest factors
ana the community an honored citizen in
his severance from them.
Miss Nettie Enloe has been engaged to
take charge Of the primary department of
Arthur's school with John Watson of Liv-
ingston, a graduate of Lancaster high
school, as principal
Mrs. F. A Clifton, Il Their of Rev. Theo.

J Eustice, P. NJ. has grea-4y IN s.-e>e. MS
home WITH new roof, porch a Ger .asier-
ing, and now has one of the most comfort
able homesin Arthur. He has also built

C. Z. stehl attended the meeting of the
county board last week
buying for Southern markets.
A. b. Miller sold sixty acres of his proper

Parties from Platteville and Arthur are
engaged in proving up the old Clifton mines
discovered6 60 years ago and which have been
worked periodically ever since with varying
success and yielding many thousand pounds
OF Galena ore. They think with many others
that there are large hodies of ore vet unde-
veloped in these mines. The present COM
pany is well equipped with facilities fer
draining the ground and experience to
prove it up. They have discovered a fine
sheet of jack'from four tosix inches inthick-
ness, entirely beneath past workings the
extent Of which remains to be proven. If
this should develop into a paying lode it
viii no doubt inspire other parties to pros
pect some OF the other discoveries in this
vicinity of which there are number I'M
proven. Now is a good time to prove up
ground as the water is much lower than
ever before.
We have heard no complaint of hard times
since the results of the election were made
known but hopeful spirit pervades the
people that prices will soon advance and an
epoch of prosperity is about to dawn on all
Those who have hogs to fatten generally
have an abundance of corn and will feed
awhile yet looking for better prices and if
they fail to obtain an advance will gain in
an increase of weight. L.
