Should you wish to improve the
quality of your bread use the cele-
brated Yeast Foam. Nothing like

This is how the Linden Cores
pondent of the Dodgeville Chronicle
puts it in referring to the fair to be
held in this city next week: "The
Mineral Point fair is making us think
by their handbills that it is going to
beat the state fair. All the rigs are
engaged for the fair, and if four livery
men had fifty more they would all
go, as the demand has been SO great"
Darlington Republican: Clar-
ence Brees, of this office, has met

There is no use trying to 90 behind
the returns. You can't keep the
working man down when the grand
old Republican party is in power.
