OUR STREETS

Some Of the streets on the east side
need fixing very badly and little
clay with about a weeks time would
complete the bill very nicely. East
Side Ninth street, formerly Broadway,
should be clayed the whole way to the
cemetery As the street is very sandy
and there: is more travel on it
than any street in the city outside Of
the down town section.
Also ,the street, formerly called
Milwaukee, now East Side Eighth
from Pratt's to Chas, Days place
should be clayed as the sand on that
street is about up to the hubs on a
carriage. A little clay in the center
of these with good rolling would make
an excellent improvement and one
which is badly neeC ID.

MUD MINNOWS

Grand Rapids, Wisconsin enjoys the
distinction of having an industry
unique and peculiarly it's own, that of
supplying all the summer resorts of
the north with fish bait. The large
mud minnows that abound in the
swamps around town offer a very
tempting bait 20 the kingly muSka-
longe, the pike, pikerel, and bass, and
nearly every train that leaves for the
north has from 500 to 5000 minnowS
aboard headed for the resorts. 1t is
estimated that an average of 800
worth a week is shipped out of here
during the open season and lots of
schoolboys will return to school after
vacation with new shoes and clothing
earned by catching minnows.

BUSINESS SKY
IS UNCLoUDED

NEW YORK, Aug. S.-The general
business outlook is unusually free at
this time from the clouds of doubt
and distress. In fact, men in prac-
tical touch with the leading industries
agree that the prospects from every
viewpoint was never clearer than now.
"We do not have to take chances" /"
said one of them, ''for the business is
assured. The orders are on the books.
That is true from the greatest OF the
industrial combines down to the
smallest. 1t looks more and more as
if 1906 would not only be great year
commercially, but the banner business
year in the history of the country"

LARGEST CITY
in WOOD COUNTY
Unofficial Figures Show Our
CITY Leads all Others.

The unofficial but semi-authentic
figures show our city, Grand Rapids,
leads all the others in the county in
respect to size this year. Up till now,
Marshfield has held the honor of being
the largest city in Wood county, but
now she must yield the palm to US,
who have nearly two hundred more
people than she.
The closest figures obtainable show
MarShtield to have 603S persons living
within her limits, while Grand Rapids
has 6, 23O as near as can be ascertained.
Our rate Of increase is just 40 per cent
over the population of five years ago,
while that of MarShfeld is but twenty
two per cent. Our city may be
pardoned. therefore, if it boasts of the
fact since this is the first authentic
Information we have received that we
were the larger city, though we do
not intend it shall be the last time
such an announcement shall be made,
For the benefit Of the knocker who
is always running down his own town,
we append this following list of
figures showing the population of
Grand Rapids from one census to
another. The list shows a wonder
fully healthy growth, and will put a
crimp on any further knocking against

CORNING RECENT TROUBLE

Pensacola, Fla, Sept. %, 1905.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
Considering the facts that you saw
proper to publish the humiliation and
chagrin that my sons, Walter and
Gladstone Jordan, were subjected to
by their arrest and Incarceration on
false and libelOus charges made by r.
responsible negroes; said charges be-
ing adjudged false In court, / feel that
it viii only be an appropriate act Of
simple justice if you will publish this
defence Of their character.
Walter and Gladstone Jordan are
beth gentlemen by both birth and rails
ing. Neither of them is addicted to
the habits of profanity, fighting or
drinking whiskey; neither do they
smoke cigarettes or chew tobacco.
Consequently the publication OF
their shameful treatment, in my alb
sence. was an additional sting to their
pride and self-respect.
Very respectfully,
j. w. JORDAN.
