No robbins have yet appeared to
disturb our morning slumb9rs with
songs at our chamber window, and
the young bluebirds hatched last
week in the Magnolia tree at our
front doc would have been severely
chilled by the March breezes had not
the mother bird wisely selected the
sunny side of the house for her nest.
Now, you early-bird romancers, re-
port!
A SPECIAL meeting of Mineral
Point commandery *. Il. last Friday
evening was unusually interesting
and pleasureable to the fraters. The
Templar degree was conferred on
Morris l.. Parkinson, and the annual
inspection of the commandery was
had Col. 7. w. Golden, of Janesville,
grand generalissimo, acting as in
specting officer. Past Eminent Grand
Commander G. p. Whitford, who in
stituted the commandery over twenty
years ago, and had not visited it
since, was present as a guest OF honor.
The exercises, banquet, speeches,
"reminiscences and social chat occu-
pied the time until after midnight.
w. II. PRIDEAUX is at home again.
He arrived on the Friday night
train, but was unable to be at his
his place of business since his return,
owing to sickness, the result of Sc
we're cold contracted in his travels.
After witnessing the inauguration OF
Mckinley he made a business trip to
New York, and then visited his
nephew, George Bliss, at Pittsburg'
Pa. ON reaching Chicago Friday
morning he was quite sick, and had
to keep his room until he took the
train for home. The rumor connect
ing his name with the postofiice,
sprung after he left home, he pro-
nounces a barbcr-ic slander.
WE presume there never was
newspaper on this green footstool,
SAYS an exchange, that mentions all
the local happenings. It's often'that
someone comes or goes that the re-
porter does not see. 1t might happen
that the same family may be missed
several times. They get the impress
sion that the editor or reporter does
not care to mention them. This i
always mistake. When It comes
10 local news, the reporters are al
ways anxious to find it, and tmatters
not 10 them whether the person the
