Charles, true to their fraternal method
of procedure, have re-organized and
enlarged the firm by taking into COM

the new combination commencing
business under the old established
name of Joeckel Brothers. 1t is an
unusual thing to see so much business

their tact and their diligence to con-
quer all difficulties, harmoniously
pushing on in the path of prosperity.
Results have proven the wisdom of
the system and all will wish the new
firm success, and extend to the new

The Lancaster And Hurricane Turnpike.


Two Of our county papers contained
articles last week descriptive Of a
proposed highway to be built from
the city of Lancaster to the Hurricane
a distance of about five miles. This
Is an enterprise taken up and being
supported by the leading farmers aud
best citizens of a large scope of the
country thickly populated. to the
south and southwest of Lancaster.
This territory is for a considerable
part of the year practically cut off
from our county seat town by mud
and soft roads and at times rendered
impossible. Nor is this the worst
feature Of the present road. The
hills Boys I'd take my pick and pan
and &c with you were it not for the
hills they tell us Of. And these con-
front us on every trip year in and
year out and have for full half CEN
fury.
Do | ever get used to them9 No!
Neighbors do you? We just grin and
bear it-get through, and the next

many time during the present win

koot down to Pigeon
And yet my fellow farmer and my
neighbor townsman this road leads
from one of the finest little cities in
Wisconsin to what is known to be one
Of the very best sections of farm
lands in Grant county, How shall
we account for this deplorable con-
dition of our highways BY more
deplorable highway lane? | venture
the assertion that on this same high
way there has already been money
and labor enough expended to build
and maeadanize a much greater dis
lance of road had it been more prop
erly located and with a more iudici-
Gus OUTLAY. We have for years looked
for Legislation to the betterment OF
our highway lanes. But as my friend
remarked a few days since while in
conversation on this subject. that leg

with which to construct highways.
anything else for that matter.
Can we, at present. do thing
within our reach that will more rap
idly build up our town and add value
to our farm lands than the building
up Of better highways? They mean
an increase of commerce between
town and county. They mean better
horses and better men. They mean
more enjoyment and comfort to life
They mean economy in many WAYS.
So boys lets up and out Of the ruts

With pick and shovel take

JERRY SIMPSON managed to pour
hot broadside into Represents
tive Grosvenor for his nisrepre-
sentation of the democrats, the
silver republicans, and the popu-
lists in his speech to the Ohio re-
publican convention, in which he
charged nine out of every ten of
them with having voted against
every appropriation for the con-
duct of the war, except the FIRST
one for S50,000,000, before he was
off on a point of order. Jerry said
after reading that portion Of Gros-
venor's speech containing the
charge: ''The assertion as regards
the vote of members on this side
is false. Every man on this side
has voted for every appropriation
bill, and no man would have cast
the reflection upon large portion
Of this House, contained in the
speech Of the gentleman from
Ohio, were he not dead to all sense
of honor and truthfulness, having
in his possession the facts with
which the gentlemenn must have
been familiar"

PIP OF .PRIVATES.

There have been many inquiries
of late about the pay of privates
in the army. For the benefit of
these inquiries and others it can
be said that the army reorganiza-
ton law, so called, approved April
26 last, provided 'that in time of
war the pay shall be increased 20
per centum over and above the
rates of pay as fixed by law"
As the law fixes the pay of the
enlisted man at S13 month in
time of peace the provision above
quoted gives all soldiers in the ar
mics of the republic at the present
time $3.50 month.
