Pres. w. T. Brown of the Badger
fair at Platteville informs us of an
error in the item published in the
Herald last week regarding the races
to be pulled off there next week We
ANNOUNCED the program of races as it
appears in the premium list which is
circulated broadcast. 1t appears
that changes were made in the races
and the purses after the list was
issue1. OF this we were unawares
add to this fact is attributable our
mistake. DR.. Brown states that they
are to have four $500 races besides
the $3.50 ones. We are very willing
to make the correction.
Take walk through the eeme-
te~y alone and You will pass the last
resting place of man who blew down
the muzzle of shot gun to see if it
was loaded. A little farther down the
slope is the crank who tried to show
how close he could pass in front of
moving train. In strolllng about you
see the monument Of the hired girl
who tried to start the fire with kero-
sene and a grass couered knoll that
covers the boy who put corn cob
under mules tail. That tall shaft
over the man who blew out the gas
casts shadow over the boy who tried
to jump on a moving train. Side by
side the ethereal creature who always
had her corsets laced to the last hole
and the intelligent idiot who rode a
bicycle nine miles in ten minutes
sleep on undistuabed. There, with
the top of shoe box driven over his
head. is the rich old man who married
a young wife. Away over there re-
poses the boy who went fishing on
Sunday and the woman who kept
strychnine powders in the cupboard.
The man who stood in front OF NOV
ing machine to oil the sickle is quiet
now and rests beside the brakeman
who fed himself 10 a 72-ton engine,
and over in the potters field may be
seen the bleaching bones of the man
who tried to whip the editor.
1t is a matter of considerable
qualification to see how well the farm
ers and members of their families
dress when coming to town and also
to note their fine turn-outs-t their
sleek horses and splendid carriages.
1t is an indication that they are
prospecting and are going to enjoy
their prosperity as they should. 1t
speaks well of the country as well as
the thrift and enterprise of the farm
er. The Herald is glad to see it and
realizes there is not class in the
world more entitled TO the good things
Of this life than the farmers. They
are entitled to wear broadcloth and
their wives and daughters silk and
satin dresses and to carry gold watch
es and we hope they can all afford it
and will. They not only dress better
but live better and have better homes
as a rule than the town people. The
farmers lot in this section at least is
becoming an enviable one.
