ing treated by Mrs. w. S. Ross to
camp life this week on the banks of
the Fox lake, about forty miles this
side of Chicago. There are from thir-
ty to thirty-five in the party.
While with people of this sec
ton it common thing. yet it can be
truthfully said that there is no more
beautiful view in all Wisconsin (and
our state is noted for grand scenery
than can be seen from tie Mineral
Point fair grounds Oh IA clear day.
If the man having the largest
nose knows the most, as claimed by
a person in conversation the other
day, is it not reasonable to wonder
if the man having the largest ears
can hear the firecrackers of the next
4th of July?
Prof. A. r. Jolley and son Albert
are here from North Yakima, Wash
ington. 1t is understood that Mr..
Jolley will invest in a stock farm
and locate on the same if he can Sc
cure one in this section such as he
desires.
The public in general recognizes
the Mineral Point fair as the old re-
liable. And why? Because it never
advertises anything that does not
take place, has some new and novel
feature of high class merit every
year, and always pays its obligations
in full.
Prof. S. II. Osborne and wife of
Dodgeville and Llewellyn Osborne
and wife of Baraboo joined with rel

his inimitable and mastery style.

A man walked into the Office of
an exchange the other day and paid
up $40 worth of back subscription.

They do not sell that brand of whis-
key around here.
Herman Parmley and Earl Jack
son, two nervy young men of this city,
left here afoot the first of the week
for Dubuque, from whence they cal
culate working their way via boat
down the Mississippi to the Worlds

of travel these days. Everyone IA
miliar with the spirit of determine
tion which these young men possess
is confident of their success.
