VIM. Wilkie of Platteville was adj
mitted member of the Grant county
bar at the recent session of the circuit
court. Mr.. Wilkie is a graduate of
the Wisconsin University law school,
SO that his admission to the Grant
county bar was only formal. He is a
young man of ability, character and
promise. We predict for him a sue
cessful career.
A cruel exchange says that a
sweet girl graduate in neighbor
town read an essay on physiology, in
which she said: 1.-The human body
is divided into three parts head
the chest and the stummick. The
head contains the eyes and brains, if
any. The chest contains the lungs
and piece of liver. The stummick
| is devoted to the bowels of which
there is five, e, i, 0, II, and some
times W, y"
The distressing news of bad ac-
cident to Mr.. p. A. McCord of DEL
vein, Iowa, has been received bv rel
atives in this county. He is a pho
tographer and was engaged in taking
fiash-light pictures, when the chemi-
Gals in use exploded, causing the loss
of his left hand and probable loss of a
thumb and finger of the right. Mr..
McCord is a son of Washington Me-
Cord of this city.
Mr.. Geo. H. Woodhouse of Litch-
field, Minnesota, called on Grant coun-
ty friends last week. The world seems
to use ''Dode" kindly, as he deserves.
He is the proprietor of two fine Mime
sofa hotels and is prospecting financi-
ally and enjoys the robust health due
to snnny disposition, and good di-
gestion, a Widespread table and a
clear conscience. The people of this
county are ALWAYS glad to know of
the success of Grant county boys.
The Dodgeville Chronicle says in
relation to recent political meeting
in that city: senator Chas. III. Bax-
ter, OF Lancaster. present republican
candidate for state senator for this dis
tricI, was present and made bret
and ntertaining address which was
ed with cheers and appeciatiye
applause. Mr.. Baxter is making a
thorough canvas of his district and
is meeting with hosts of enthusiasts
tic and admiring friends wherever he
goes. His election is not questioned
by any informed voter
Bloomington Record. The cred
itors of j. S. Block are selling out the
stock at Platteville. Those who bid in
the stock and have a claim on every
thing in sight are members of the
family. his liabilities are $4,000,
and assets are so small that when the
family gets fixed up there will prob
| ly be nothing left. Some of his cred
ltors are poor IaborIng men, whose
losses are the saving of large part
OF lifetime. There is hint of notes
dated back, and. in fact, the people of
Platteville are very indignant and as
sert that there is something decidedly
rocky about the whole transaction.
Poor old Platteville has more than her
share of demoralizing failures, but she
still holds her own with the best Of
them.
Concerning the poem Rushing
Rapidan" which will be found in an
other column in this paper, Mr.. Trip
writes us: This poem will recall to
the mind of some comrades, who read
it, the incident related. And it Will
interest them to know that when
was in Alabama ! heard a confederate
Major who was also scout and spy.
