The Grant County Telephone COM
pany is Bloomington concern so far
as ownership and management are
concerned. The officers of the COM
pany reside there and the stock is
owned by Bloomington parties. But
so far as value to the public and gem
eral usefulness are concerned it be-
longs to the whole county.
II it be true. as has been rumored,
that Platteville officials are hostile to
the new me because they look upon
it as Lancaster project that objec-
t,on should be removed. The Grant
County telephone does not belong to
Lancaster any more than il does to
any other town in which 1t does bust

Catarrh starts in the nasal passsa-

becomes interrupted the disagreeable

California is rapidly expanding her
olive industry, and it bids fair to be.

now stands considerably in its way is
the want of taste for the home grown

convinced of the value of the ripe pic

olive is but relish and scarcely more
desirable than any other pickle save

ton in the matter Of adopting text
books for the free schools OF the county
for the next three years.
The American Book Company was
represented by Mr.. w. A. Dunn; CHM
& Co.. by Mr. Claude Kltchin; The
University Publishing Co, by Col. A,
Prescott county examiner, and the ed
flor OF The DEMOCRAT made some
claims for the same company.
CHM & CO. asked the commissioners
to adopt their books IN the place OF the
State list formerly adopted by the State
Board of Education.
After hearing the claims OF each
company's representative, the commits
siOners closed doors and considered the
matter privately.
They adopted the old list of text
books and added the following Lees
Briet History and School History by
2. F. johnson & Co., Ut Richmond.
CHM & Co.'S Primary Geography
and Frye's Complete Geography South
ern Literature and the Southern States
Of the American Union by B. F. John

1t was intended by the commission
ers, it seems, that by adopting the old
list and adding new books it would
leave it with the parents and teachers
| to choose which books shall be used.
