We regret that although many
Republican candidates have an
nounced their candidacy for county
offices, no Democrats have slgnifed
their intentions in this direction.
Our brother Democrats had b9tter
bestir themselves; it may be that
the political aspect may suffer a
complete revolution this year and
that Democrats will be universally
successful.
Our popular M. E minister Rev.
Wooley of Bloomington was in
volved in a serious runaway last
Friday. Mr.. Wooley's conveyance
was run into by runaway team
and the wheels of his buggy COM
pletely demolished We fear this
will interfere with his appoint
ments and would very much regret
such an occurrence.
The Bloomington wouldbe ath
letes who participated in the Platte
vile field meet passed through this
township Saturday with colors
dragging in the dust; unfortunately
they did not have their crack broad
jumper average 90 fit along with
them and this fact alone would
preclude any possibility of point
winning by them.
Our school teachers celebrated
Arbor Day by yard raking and rub
bish burning.
John Smith and boys are drilling
we'll on their farm.
Herman Lynass was in Blooming
ton Thursday.
Flavian Cherrier of this township,
has advertised his pasture for rent.
Mr.. Cherrier has good pastureage
and water on this piece of ground
and those desiring pasturage would
do we'll to consult with him.
In the league declamatory contest
held in Platteville in which local

vile secured first place; Spring
Green, second, and Ontario, third.
We notice that one of our former
citizens, to-wit, Alonzo Wayne, is
secretary of a new hail, windstorm,
cyclone and tornado insurance COM
pany recently organized at Lancas-
ter.
The Bloomington band has or
ganized and held its first meeting
Tuesday, May 13 The band has
16 pieces in all and will no doubt
draw some of our citizens to Bloom
ington in the course of the summer
as they expect to give evening con-
certs in Main street twice week.
Now that our schools are closing,
it is a good time to agitate the
school problem again. A few months
ago we suggested the abolition of
the various inferior rural schools
and the ablishment of a good
centrally located institution sup
ported by the combined moneys
contingent with the support of the
inferior institutions. IT would be
easy to institute the collection of
pupils by collecting wagons and the
results would justify the expsndi-
ture. If school of this kind is not
established we would suggest
raise in rural school teachers salar-
les to $40 month and a contingent
qualification of second grade certi-
ficates at least for rural school
teachers.
Magnanimously making multi
tudnio1s monographs of mentonical,
metaphorical Vaccinations, and
meaning to mirror monumental,
mysterious, monitorial, metamor-
phoses in memorable, materialisti-
cal magisterial magniloquence next
week we migrate. VIM"
