The season of farm sales is again
on, and they appear to be as numerous
as ever We don't like to see this, for
it might be taken as an indication that
some are dissatisfied with good old Iowa
county, the peer of any county in the
| United States.
-Fayette can boast of the prize rad
ish of the world. Mrs. Abe Kundert

short time the building will be ready for
installing the machinery.
The first issue of the Linden
Leader, successor to the Southwest
Wisconsin, has made its appearance
in the Tribune office. 1t is quite spicy
from a local standpoint and shows
signs of being well patronized. Mr..

prise. We wish him success.

not have Jared worse if they had re-
NAMED in Wisconsin.
Here is the way an exchange duns
its subscribers: of you have frequent
fainting spells, accompanied by chills,
cramps, corns, bunions, chilblains, ep-
ilepsy, and jaundice, it is sign you
are not well, but liable to die at any
moment. Pay your subscription in adj
vance and thus make yourself solid for
good obituary notice.
They say that firm in Milwaukee
is manufacturing a corn husk er
that is an unqualified success. 1t re-
moves the ear from inside the husk,
but leaves the husks attached to the
stalk, and they say that the leaves are
scarcely shattered at all. An outfit con
sisting of three men, two teams and a
wagon, and three horses on the husker
can clean out from eight to twelve acres
per day.
One very satisfactory feature in
connection with the election which the
Tribune overlooked last week was the
service rendered by the Bell Telephone
Co. and the Mineral Point Telephone
Co., there being a direct connection
from this city to Milwaukee. Reports
were received at the central here and
wired throughout the city every three
minutes until late hour. This was done
without expense except to the compan-
les and was duly appreciated by the
citizens in general.
