Office marked Ego to hi, while there
was due a considerable amount on the
same. The editor refused to comply
with the request, but instead watched
his opportunity and levied upon a cream

ference of his church in doing away
with the title of presiding elder" and
substituting therefor district superin-
tendent" will seem nothing short Of
sacrilege. Would it have been possible

cur city, and goes to prove that the re-
cent consolidation, which will result in
work for men when all mines are re-
opened, is, without doubt, a benefit to
the district. Many of the mines which
have gone into the consolidation would

Of funds, and will now furnish
employment to many men. Platteville

brand Of that famous delicatessen. 1t
will be put on the market in lib cakes,
daintily wrapped Those who have
tried it say it is way ahead of any linn
burger heretofore manufactured, and
is sure to make Green county even
more famous. The new product has
delicious, delicate flavor, and is as
creamy, white and smooth as the finest
neufschatel Mr.. Regez has not yet
named the new brand, but It will be
put on the market soon. But one fac
tory is making this cheese and the de-
mand is certain to vastly exceed the
supply. The price is somewhat higher
than that put up in two pound cakes.

Parents, keep your boys off the
streets, especially after dark. You know
not what annoyance these little fellows
are, besides they learn all kinds Of
meanness, picking up all the slang
phrases uttered boys older by who have
forgotten the prayers taught them at
their mothers knee when they, too.
were innocent little tots like your own
boys now. If you have nice beautiful
yards, allow your boys to play in them,
never scolding them for their merry
laughter, for tis better far to be an
noyed at home than to have them
i mixed up in an ugly affair on the street
Of which you know nothing until il has
