Rumor has it that Senator Lamor-
eaux will not be a candidate for re
election. If it is fact the Press is
sorry for it. Mr.. Lamoreauy has
ably represented this district and
would, undoubtedly be more eff
ficient another term. However. if
he refuses to serve the district
longer in this capacity let it be
known that Bayfield, county will
have candidate In the past she
has been mainly instrumental in
giving this position to Barron
county, to Douglas county and to
Ashland county. Is it not her
turn now? She certainly has plenty
of good material in men who have
always been staunch republicans
through good and evil times without
hope of other reward than that of
party success. Bayfield, Press.

School ON Madeline.

Beloit college will establish sum-
mer school on Madeline island this
year which will be conducted at the
Mission by corps of the best teach
ers the college has. The Ashland
Press says that it is felt that there
is too much waste of time in the
long summer vacation, which can be
used, giving the students al the
same time good outing under
favorable conditions. The ''Old
Mission" of Madeline island has been
fitted up and offered to Beloit col
lege for such a school. The school
will be devoted to the study of nat
ural sciences and the early history Of
the Lake Superior region, together
with such other courses as are de-
manded. Special emphasis will be
placed on the study of natural
sciences in the midst OF natures
own labratory. Professors Des-
more, Collie and Wright were ap-
pointed by the trustees to prepare a
list of courses of study for which
credit will be given in the college
course.

Df. LampSOn has received a very

Doctor is now at Austell, Georgia
Writing under date Of January 18th
he says:
DEAR DOCTOR: Yours of a recent
date at hand. Accept my thanks
for yoar trouble, and also my
apology for not writing you sooner,
but am such a neglectful sort of a
fellow about corresponding, aud I
am often ashamed of myself, but
will try to redeem my promise now.
My health has been improving
right along, in fact the first week [

believe this is the most suitable
climate for me, and think it a folly,
or perhaps grave mistake to move

OF locating in the south permanent

The climate is delightful here, can
drive around all day long without
gloves or overcoat, can see ladies
sitting on the porches with their
needle work most any day. With the
exception of last winter people can
not remember zero weather any
winter. Have had no snow yet. [

ing states with the view OF looking
up location. | wish You were with
me to make the trip. There are
many interesting objects and places
ali about here, from d historical
standpoint. Colored people are
numerous, in fact it seems to me, as
if they were in the majority, but am
told they number about forty per
cent. Many things are far different
here than in the north, and it will
/ take me some time to get accpstom-
ed to the change, [ suppose. The
people have different ways about
them in most every thing, and there
seems to be a lack of all ambition
and prosperity. The school sys tenn,
agriculture, manufacturing etc,
seems to be tagging % years behind
the times. Most people are satisfied
with the old wooden pillow and hoe,
and everything else 10 the same
proportion. Farmers live ia old
miserable and dilapidated log huts
and corn cribs, built before the
war, with a few exceptions, are
generally, northern people. They
are building up the country. II ask
ing farmer the size OF his farm he
will answer lone horse farm, !" 1.-TWO
horse farm, or three horse farm, :"
according to how many horses it
takes to do the work. One trait,
however, one cannot help but notice,
to their credit, is they are very polite
and accommodating. A man thinks
nothing of leaving his work to take
a stranger around in his RIG, without
charging cent, and would feel In
suited If one would offer it co him. A
young man eighteen years old and
owning of d mule is considered
possessor of enough means to justify
him in marrying.

GARBAGE COLLECTIONS
BEAT PREVIOUS YEARS

For some time reports have been
current to the effect that the city
garbage has not been properly collect
ed, and that, in many cases, it has been
left standing for days at a time.
According to the statement Of q
prominent physician. this state of af-
fairs would soon cause an epidemic OF
diphtheria and other diseases. which
would result seriously for many.
George Willis, chairman Of the
Crematory Committee Of Council, says
that garbage is being mere satisfac-
torily collected now than at any time
in the history of Wilmington, and more
is being turned over to the crematory
for the season than at any time before
Mr.. Willis further said that this is
proof positive that the contractors
were doing their work thoroughly.
Secretary Wigglesworth, of the
Board Of Health. says that compare
lively few complaints have been re
ceived relative to the nOn-collection Of

be unable to collect the $1,501.25, which

The statement that many of the COM

to bring the commitments Of Mayor
Boyd before the court to-day, so that

courts attorney, John II. Rodney, seen
them. Members of the court also de-
