Platteville Stage To Be Re-Installed.

The Lancaster stage will be re-
installed Oct. IL to carry mail.
1t will leave Platteville in the
morning. Through a recent rul-
ing, all patrons along the lines Of
this route, and the Big Patch,
Georgetown and Cuba City routes
(patrons who reside 80 rods away
from a postofice) may erect boxes
along the lines of these routes and
be served by the stages in the
matter of daily mail in the same
manner as by rural carriers. Ac-
cording to the present rules the
stages should leave here at s. a. m.
but Postmaster Webster has re-
commended that they be held
until after the $40 passenger train
arrives, which if acted upon favor
ably will place the leaving hour of
both stages at about 9:15 or possible
later. There may be some adj
vantage in holding the stage south,
but we believe the public will be
better served especially in the
matter of travel between this place
and Lancaster if it could leave at
the scheduled time, because as it
is, passengers going to the county
seat on the train have but one
hour to transact business, a matter
which is complained Of a great
deal. Witness.

The time for picnics is here,
and almost daily parties are
making excursions to shaded
dells and green fields, where
time is spent in frolicing and
feasting. One of the most de-

plished such good work that all

election for superintendent this
year. His work, as stated
above, has been most satisfac-
tory and the trustees made no
mistake in their selection.

list of the teachers elected:

stitutes throughout the state
during the months of July and
August and that by application
to him arrangements will be
made for holding one or more in
stitutes in every county in the
state. Last year there were two
Institutes held in Lowndes
county, one in Columbus and one
in Caledonia, and it is to be
hoped that there will be at least
that many held this year, for the
result is of material good to the
farmers of every community
which is fortunate enough to
secure one. The lectures are all
by experts, men who have made
close study and research regard
ing the topics of which they
treat, and they are of course able
to find out many things about
the different plants and the
various kinds of soil best suited
to their cultivation that the far
mer, who is busy with a thousand
other things, would never find
out for him self.
1t is understood that several
prominent citizens are already in
! correspondence with President
Hardy regarding the institutes
for this county and definite dates
will probably be announced very
soon.
