Just enough snow to make light
shedding possible came on Saturday

e judicial county convention
anesville last Saturday after
les L. Fifield was nominated

On throughout the county.
Early Monday morning the building
occupied by Gordon & Dennen, general
merchants of Stoughton, was partially
destroyed by fire, resulting in total
loss on the stock. The firm has been
doing business there about four years,
present location. The property belongs
to George Balllen The structure is an
old story and a half building and will no
doubt be replaced by a brick block.
The Wisconsin Telephone company
are offering resident phones in James
vile at one dollar per month. That's a
very reasonable rate, but why is it that
this same company do not extend their
reasoning to Edgerton and make CORE
spending rates here? 1t is because they
don't have to. Edgerton ought to have
a hundred phones instead of the few
which it now has, and if the price was
right there is no question but what the
instruments would be put in.
Let every republican voter attend
the caucus in the city hall Friday even
ing, March oath. Immediately after the

COnWay's term expires and in the third
Alderman Stark's term expires. In each
of these wards an alderman has to be

bound to win.
The GAINESVILLE Republican was sold
at sheriff's sale on Saturday last. The
buyer was the Chicago News Paper
Union, one of the creditors, and the
plant was bid in at $780, The Evening
Republican has been conducted by Wal
ter S. Hidden for the past few months
and in business way has been very un-
successful. There are two good daily
papers in GAINESVILLE, the Gazette and
Recorder, and seemingly they meet all de-
mands of the local newspaper business.
1t is better to give two papers a good
support than three poor one.
